People Notice (Acts 4:13-21) | Acts | Adam Woods (Ep. 263)

A Praying Church (Acts 4:21-31) | Acts | Adam Woods (Ep. 264)

When pressure rises, what does the church pray for? In Acts 4:21–31, we see believers asking God for faithfulness, boldness, and His presence in the middle of opposition. This message shows how prayer is not just a way to ask for comfort, but a way to be formed for mission. It speaks to anxiety, fear, and the challenge of living faithfully when following Jesus is costly. It also points to the Holy Spirit’s power and the kind of discipleship that helps ordinary people speak about Jesus with courage.

People Notice (Acts 4:13-21) | Acts | Adam Woods (Ep. 263)

When Jesus fills your life, people can see the difference. From Acts 4:13–21, we see Peter and John stand with courage because they’ve been with Jesus, not because they are impressive on their own. We explore how whatever fills you eventually comes out in your words, your reactions, and your relationships, and how time with Jesus can reshape all of that. This message is for anyone who is curious about faith or ready to grow: it helps you take simple, daily steps with Jesus so others can notice His love, not just your effort.

The Name of Jesus (Acts 3:1-4:12) | Acts | Adam Woods (Ep. 262)

There is still real, life-changing power in the name of Jesus—and it can meet your deepest need today. In Acts 3–4, a lame beggar is healed “in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,” turning an ordinary day into a moment of transformation and worship. Peter shows that money, religion, and self-help can’t do what Jesus alone does: forgive sin, change hearts, and give us a new identity. That miracle becomes a bridge to the message. Peter calls people to repent, turn to God, and receive “times of refreshing” in Jesus’ name, even as religious leaders push back against the exclusive claim that “there is no other name…by which we must be saved.” We’re sent to carry His name into our homes, schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods.

We Are Family (Acts 2:42-47) | Acts | Adam Woods (Ep. 261)

God’s plan isn’t perfect people, it’s a devoted family. In this message, “We Are Family,” we walk through Acts 2:42–47 to see what everyday life looked like for the very first church family. Acts shows a Spirit-filled people devoted to four priorities: God’s Word, real fellowship, remembering Jesus, and prayer—and that devotion begins to shape how they live. We explore how that devotion overflows into open-handed generosity, everyday togetherness, and deep, resilient joy that makes the gospel visible in a lonely world. Ultimately, this sermon points us back to Jesus at the center: we’re not saved by our devotion or generosity, but by grace through faith in Him—and from that grace we learn to live as an Acts 2 family today.

What Makes a Mom (Exodus 1-3) | Austin Garrett

When life feels harsh or unfair, it can be hard to see how God is at work behind the scenes. This Mother’s Day message explores the story of five women in Exodus 1–3 whose courage and faith helped save a baby named Moses and shape the future of God’s people. Through Shiphrah, Puah, Jochebed, Miriam, and Pharaoh’s daughter, we see how God uses women to protect, praise, preserve, and provide in ways that often go unnoticed but never go unused. This sermon speaks to the joy and pain of motherhood, the grief of unmet longings, and the reality that many women “mother” through spiritual influence, not just biology. You’ll be invited to name the women who have stood in the gap for you, to see motherhood as Kingdom work, and to trust the God who draws us “out of the water” into a new life with Jesus. The main passage for this message is Exodus 1–2. Series: Special Message Speaker: Austin Garrett Scripture: Exodus 1-3 CONNECT:  Looking to connect with us?
