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.

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.

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.
