The Mob and the Martyr

The One You Least Expect

God reaches the people nobody would reach — and then sends ordinary people to go get them. The story of Saul's conversion isn't just about what Jesus can do; it's about whether we'll be the Ananias who shows up.

Philip and the Ethiopian Eunich

When pressure came against the early Church, the gospel didn’t disappear — it spread. In Acts 8, Philip shows us a simple but powerful model for sharing Jesus: follow God’s lead, be with people, listen well, ask questions, speak truth, and walk alongside others in their next steps of faith. This message explores how ordinary obedience can create extraordinary impact as we carry the good news beyond the walls of the church.

Back in Acts

Acts 8 reveals that God often advances the gospel through disruption, not comfort—and that the greatest danger is not open rebellion against God, but a heart that stays near Jesus while remaining fundamentally unchanged. The gospel doesn’t just relocate us; it reorders us from the inside out.

Wake Up To Wonder

The resurrection didn’t just secure life after death—it awakens us to life right now. The empty tomb is an invitation to step out of numb, sleepwalking existence and into a fully alive, wonder-filled life in Jesus.

The Mob and the Martyr

We assume we’d stand with Stephen—but apart from Jesus, we’re often closer to the crowd than we think. The Spirit doesn’t just give us bold moments; He forms us over time into people who recognize truth, receive it, and reflect Jesus when it matters most.
