Jul 1400:40:15Tap to summarizeActs 12 covers the incredible story where: Peter is imprisoned, the church prays earnestly, and God miraculously sets him free. But right beside Peter’s rescue is James’ martyrdom. A reminder that faith isn’t about finding a formula for getting everything we want.In this message, Pastor Dan explores what it means to trust God when life doesn’t make sense, why earnest prayer still matters, and how God sees, hears, and acts on behalf of His people.

Transcribe →Blinded By The Light | The Book of Acts (Week 7)
Jun 2900:33:17Tap to summarizeIn Acts 9, Saul is stopped by a blinding light and that encounter with Jesus changes everything. He goes from darkness to light, from pride to surrender, from persecuting the church to preaching Christ. This week's message from Pastor Dan looks at the evidence of a real encounter with Jesus: a changed direction, a humbled heart, a praying life, a new family, and a witness that points others to Him.The light of Jesus doesn’t just get your attention; it changes your direction.
Transcribe →One Conversation | The Book of Acts (week 6)
Jun 2200:34:40Tap to summarizeWhat if the biggest thing God wants to do through your life doesn’t happen on a stage, in front of a crowd, or through a grand plan?In Acts 8, Philip leaves a thriving ministry moment to follow God’s leading down a desert road for one person. One interruption. One conversation. One act of obedience. Through Philip’s encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch, we discover that God often works through ordinary moments, unexpected interruptions, and simple acts of faithfulness to change lives.

Jun 2100:39:31Tap to summarizeWhat do you do when following Jesus gets hard?In Acts 6–7, we follow the story of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, who was faithful in serving, faithful through opposition, and faithful to the very end. Discover how big faithfulness starts small, why resistance shouldn’t surprise us, and how to stay faithful even when you can’t see the fruit.
Transcribe →A Spiritual Checkup | Acts (Week 4)
Jun 900:37:45Tap to summarizeJust as regular checkups help identify issues before they become serious, God's Word has a way of revealing what's happening beneath the surface of our lives. Through this surprising moment in the early church, we’ll discover that God cares more about authenticity than appearances. Join us as we take a spiritual “heart check” and learn what it means to live with genuine faith, integrity, and reverence for God.
Transcribe →In The Name | The Book of Acts (week 3)
