"The Sacraments of an Apostolic Church" — Part 1: Laying On of Hands

Recorded live at the Northeast District Council of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, this message goes back to Genesis, to Numbers, to the fire that fell once on the altar — and asks a question most of us have stopped asking: is laying on of hands just tradition, or is something actually transferred? Not magic. Not nothing. Part one of a three-part series on the sacraments of an apostolic church. Parts two and three (baptism, communion) coming soon. #Pentecostal #Apostolic #PAW #JesusName #Sermon #21stCenturyActs

Stand! Ephesians 6

The Apostle Paul's final word to the church wasn't a program or a plan. It was a command: stand. In this episode of 21st Century Acts, Pastor Jonathan Hayes walks through Ephesians 6:10–18 — the full armor of God — and unpacks what it actually means to be a soldier in spiritual warfare. From the ranked hierarchy of dark powers to the shield wall that only works when believers lock together, this is a message for anyone who has ever felt like the enemy is winning ground. Put the armor on. Hold the line. Having done all — stand.

KISS THE SON: Psalm 2- A Word for America on it's 250th birthday!

21st Century Acts is the sermon archive of Pastor Jonathan Hayes — raw, unfiltered, rooted in Scripture. This episode: America turns 250 this week. Flags flying. A people celebrating a heritage they are simultaneously dismantling. Psalm 2 was written for this moment. The nations rage. Heaven laughs. The Son reigns. And the offer still stands — Kiss the Son, or meet the rod of iron. There is no third option.

A Good Father? John 1:12-13

Every myth humanity ever told reached for the same thing — a son of God with power and purpose. This Father's Day, Pastor Jonathan Hayes opens John 1:12–13 and asks the question most people have never stopped to ask — what does it actually mean to call God Father? And what does it demand of the fathers in the room?

The Covenant and Compassion of the Cross. Isaiah 53:4-6

What happened at the cross? Was it God's love on display — or a legal payment for sin? The answer is yes. Both. In this message from Isaiah 53:4-6, Pastor Jonathan Hayes unpacks the ancient debate between atonement and expiation and lands where scripture lands: the cross is covenant and compassion. God is righteous Judge and merciful Savior. This isn't a contradiction — it's the whole point. Whether you came to faith through passion and encounter or through law and covenant, the cross holds both. And so does He. jonathannathanielhayes@gmail.com or on social media at The ARC of northern Maine
