Anthony David, who plays for the Mavericks, went through growing pains. In 18 months, he grew 8 inches making him the most sought-after high school athlete his senior year. His growth spurt had rewards, but it brought the challenge forcing him to relearn his game. Similarly, church growth has challenges and rewards. In this study, we learn how to face growth successfully.

Acts 5:1-11 - Am I A Poser?

June 01, 2025 - 05:26 PM Sermon SeriesActs


A recent trend in college is students using AI to write their papers. The problem is that the work isn't their work. They are portraying themselves to be better writers than they are. This is called posing. In Acts 5, we see how God feels about posing and why it is corrosive to our lives.

Acts 4:23-31 - How Should I Handle Persecution? - Part 2

May 11, 2025 - 04:13 PM Sermon SeriesActs


When trials come, we long to escape them. We see them as holding us back. The Bible has a different picture. God's word tells us how God uses trials to build us up, not tear us down. In this study, we also look at how to be persecuted for Jesus and handle it well.

Have we developed a myopic vision of the gospel that can't see Jesus beyond our community? For Mission Sunday, we explore God's vision for reaching the nations with the good news of Jesus. We also examine the book of Philippians to move beyond traditional mission support into gospel partnerships.

Acts 2:42-47 - The First Church, Getting Back To The Basics

March 30, 2025 - 06:44 PM Sermon SeriesActs


Today, there is a longing to get back to the basics. People are cooking with cast iron instead of Tephlon. They are looking for organically grown produce. While progress is good, there is a place for getting back to the basics, the way God created things to be. The same is true in the church. In the busyness of the modern church, it is good for us to make sure we haven’t forgotten the basics of the church, the way God created it to be. Join us as we look at the basics of the early church.
