  • Liar Liar Pants On Fire Acts 4-5:11

    Liar Liar Pants On Fire Acts 4-5:11
    2025/07/13
    In the early days of the church, we see a powerful move of the Holy Spirit, marked by unity, generosity, and a deep sense of God’s presence. The believers were not only proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus with boldness, but they were also living out the gospel in practical ways—caring for one another, meeting needs, and demonstrating radical obedience. There was a spirit of great grace among them, a lavish outpouring of God’s favor that brought peace, joy, and wisdom. No one in the community lacked anything, because those who had more than they needed freely gave, selling extra properties and possessions to provide for the needs of others. This wasn’t coerced or manipulated giving, but a genuine response to God’s love and the prompting of the Spirit.

  • From Rejection to Redemption: Following In His Steps Acts 2:7-25

    From Rejection to Redemption: Following In His Steps Acts 2:7-25
    2025/07/09
    Peter’s words in 1 Peter 2 come to a church under intense persecution, a people who were literally being martyred for their faith. Yet, God’s word to them—and to us—is not to promise an escape from suffering, but to call us to live as those who belong to another world, even as we walk through the pain and injustice of this one. Suffering, whether on a grand scale like the tragedies we see in the news or in the personal injustices we endure, is not outside of God’s sovereign hand. He allows it, sometimes for reasons we cannot understand, but always with the purpose of refining us, displaying His glory, and proving that He is worthy of our praise even when life is hard.

  • Bold Prayer Acts 4:23-33

    Bold Prayer Acts 4:23-33
    2025/07/06
    We see the early church facing intense opposition and threats from the religious authorities, yet responding not with fear or self-preservation, but with bold, unified prayer. The believers, though vastly outnumbered by the powerful Sanhedrin and the multitude of priests, turned their eyes to the Lord, acknowledging Him as the Creator and Sovereign over all. Their prayers began with worship, recognizing God’s greatness and authority, which put their problems in perspective. Instead of asking for their troubles to be removed, they prayed for boldness to continue proclaiming the gospel, trusting in God’s plan and sovereignty.

  • When Life Feels Unfair | Psalm 73 Encouragement

    When Life Feels Unfair | Psalm 73 Encouragement
    2025/07/02
    Tonight’s reflection centers on the struggle with envy and resentment, especially when witnessing the prosperity of those who seem to disregard God. Drawing from Psalm 73, the journey begins with honest confession—recognizing how easy it is to slip into bitterness when life feels unfair and others appear to thrive without regard for righteousness. The psalmist, Asaph, voices a universal human experience: the temptation to question the value of purity and faithfulness when the wicked seem to prosper and the faithful suffer.

  • A Transformed Life 1 Peter 1:1-2

    A Transformed Life 1 Peter 1:1-2
    2025/06/25
    This message opens with a portrait of Peter—impulsive, bold, often off-base—yet transformed by the Spirit of God into a foundational leader in the early Church. Drawing from 1 Peter 1:1–2, we see Peter address believers who are exiled and scattered, reminding them of their true identity: chosen by God the Father, sanctified by the Spirit, and cleansed by the blood of Jesus.

    Through Peter’s backstory—from denying Christ to being restored and called to “feed my sheep”—we’re reminded that spiritual growth is a process of grace. God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. These verses are rich with doctrine but wrapped in a very pastoral tone of encouragement, reminding suffering believers that they belong to God, and His grace and peace are multiplied to them—even in exile.

    Peter addresses the astonished crowd after the healing of the lame man at the temple gate. He boldly redirects the glory to Jesus Christ, proclaiming that it was not by their own power but by faith in the risen Savior that the man was healed. Peter then urges the people to repent, turn to God, and receive times of refreshing. This message is a passionate reminder of God’s mercy and the fulfillment of His promises through Jesus.

This message will challenge and encourage us to walk in obedience, live with integrity, and stand firm in the strength of the Lord.
