Acts 9

Sent From Worship — Acts 13

Preaching verse-by-verse through Acts 13, this Sunday's message traced how the first missionary journey was born not in a strategy session or a fundraising campaign but in a diverse church at Antioch that worshiped, fasted, and listened to the Holy Spirit before being sent out. The central tension is that the world is full of voices that sound spiritual but make the straight path to Jesus crooked, so the church must recover discernment rooted in Scripture and a check in the Spirit. The call is to become a worshiping, word-centered, sending church that keeps preaching Jesus from the Scriptures no matter who opposes us — because we never know whose heart God is already working on.

Maybe Yes, Maybe No: Empowered, Not Enabled — Acts 12

Working through Acts 12, this Sunday's message walks through Herod's persecution of the church, James being put to the sword, and Peter sleeping between two soldiers the night before his execution until an angel walks him out of prison. The central tension is why God lets James die yet delivers Peter — and the reminder that God doesn't enable us, He empowers us, asking us to do what we can while He handles what only He can. The call is to pray earnestly and with expectation, use the reason God gave us, and trust the God who sees the whole picture even when we only see earth.
