April 19, 2026 Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world,” revealing that He alone can expose darkness and lead us into true life. Darkness is not only around us but often hidden within us through pain, sin, shame, and the things we try to conceal. Yet instead of condemnation, Jesus offers forgiveness, healing, and the freedom to walk openly in His light. As we follow Him daily, His light transforms us and begins to shine through us into the lives of others. About this Sermon Series: What if the God you’ve heard about is more personal, more present, and more powerful than you’ve experienced? In this 6-week series, we’ll explore the “I AM” statements found throughout Scripture—words God uses to reveal His character, His heart, and His invitation into relationship. These statements aren’t just descriptions—they’re declarations of who God is for us. He is not distant or abstract. He is near, knowable, and actively at work in our lives. Each week, we’ll uncover a different aspect of His identity: the Bread that satisfies, the Light that reveals, the Shepherd who leads, the Resurrection who brings life, the Way who guides, and the Vine who sustains. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with what it means to move beyond knowing about God to truly knowing Him—personally, deeply, and authentically. This series is an invitation to trade shallow familiarity for real intimacy… to encounter the living God, not as a concept, but as a Person.

April 12, 2026 Jesus declares that He is the “bread of life,” revealing that while we naturally chase things we believe will satisfy us, nothing in this world truly meets our deepest needs. He invites us to shift our focus from temporary, physical fulfillment to the eternal life only He provides, calling us to trust Him as our true source of purpose, identity, and satisfaction.

April 5, 2026 What you believe about Jesus isn’t just a theological question—it shapes everything about your life. In this message, we step into one of His boldest claims, “I am the resurrection and the life,” and wrestle with what it really means. Is Jesus a liar, a lunatic, or truly Lord? As we explore the reality of the resurrection, we’re invited to consider how our answer impacts our hope, our identity, and the direction of our lives.

April 1, 2026 After a powerful 13-week journey through the book of Acts, our pastors sit down for a real and honest conversation about what God revealed through the series and how it impacts our lives today. In this episode of Beyond Sunday, we reflect on the cost of following Jesus, the role of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives, and what it looks like to boldly live out our faith beyond just attending church. We also answer questions, share stories of life change, and talk through moments in Acts we didn’t get to cover on Sundays. Our hope is to give you practical encouragement and resources to continue growing in your faith all week long—not just on Sundays. About this Conversation The Book of Acts reveals how the risen Jesus continues His mission through the Holy Spirit, empowering ordinary believers to become bold witnesses who proclaim the gospel, perform Spirit-led works, and build unified, Christ-centered communities. From the early church in Jerusalem to the spread of the message to all nations, the series emphasizes that God works through surrendered, available people—often through unexpected moments—to bring transformation, calling believers to live in obedience, rely on the Spirit’s power, pursue community, and continually point others to Jesus as the true source of healing, hope, and salvation.

March 29, 2026 As we close out the book of Acts, this message challenges us to move beyond a strong start in faith and instead live a fully surrendered life to Jesus. Looking at Paul’s farewell in Acts 20, we see a powerful example of serving with humility and courage, continually turning back to God, and following the Holy Spirit with obedience—even when it’s difficult. A surrendered life means letting go of comfort and pride so we can fully trust God’s will and direction. Ultimately, this passage calls us to faithfully persevere to the end, knowing that a life fully given to Jesus is the only one that truly satisfies.

March 22, 2026 In Acts 16, Paul and Silas show us what it looks like to bring the light of Jesus into the darkest places—confronting spiritual oppression with Christ’s authority and responding to suffering with worship and prayer. Even in prison, their praise becomes a weapon, and God uses their faithfulness to shake the foundations, not just of the jail, but of a man’s life. The miracle wasn’t just freedom from chains, but the salvation of the jailer and his entire household. This passage reminds us that when we trust Jesus in the darkness, He brings transformation, freedom, and light to everyone around us.

March 15, 2026 In Acts 15, the early church faces a significant conflict as Jewish and Gentile believers disagree about what is required for salvation. What begins as a serious theological dispute becomes an opportunity for the church to model how followers of Jesus can handle disagreement in a way that honors God and protects the unity of the church. By addressing the issue directly, seeking wise counsel, and ultimately turning to God’s Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the leaders arrive at a solution that preserves the truth of the gospel and strengthens the church. This passage reminds us that when conflict is handled God’s way, it can lead to deeper unity and encouragement among believers.

March 8, 2026 In Acts 10, we see a powerful picture of God’s plan to bring the good news of Jesus to everyone.

Our role is to point people to Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to do the transforming work in their hearts.

March 1, 2026 Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus stands as one of the most powerful stories of transformation in Scripture. Once a fierce persecutor of Christians, Saul’s life was radically redirected when Jesus revealed Himself, turning an enemy of the faith into one of its greatest messengers. While some faith stories unfold in dramatic moments and others develop quietly over time, every life changed by Jesus reflects the same miraculous work of His grace. Saul’s story reminds us that no one is beyond God’s reach, and when we respond to His voice with faith and obedience, He transforms us and invites us into His greater purpose.

February 22 2026 The book of Acts shows us that the Holy Spirit is still actively guiding ordinary believers to share the message of Jesus in everyday moments.

February 8, 2026 Just like the Super Bowl highlights a few players while dozens work faithfully behind the scenes, the church only thrives when everyone steps off the sidelines and uses their gifts to serve. In Acts 6, the early church faced growing pains and discovered that when each person stepped into their God-given calling—listening to needs, sharing responsibility, and serving where they were gifted—the church grew stronger, healthier, and the gospel spread further. The invitation for us is simple: don’t just attend church, get in the game, because when every part of the body serves, God multiplies the impact.

January 25, 2026 In this weekend’s sermon, we continued the story of the early church living out their faith in everyday life. As Peter and John head to the temple to pray, God uses them to bring healing to a man who had been lame from birth—drawing a crowd and creating an opportunity to share Jesus. Acts 3:1–21 makes it clear the miracle isn’t the main point—Jesus is. Peter redirects the attention to Christ, reminding everyone that the power comes through faith in His name.
