What Jesus Continues to Do // Healing
1w agoTap to summarizeThis week, Vito Aiuto explores the powerful story of Peter and John encountering a man who had been unable to walk since birth. When they pray for him in the name of Jesus, he is miraculously healed—a sign, Peter explains, of the greater work Christ is accomplishing in the world. More than a physical restoration, this healing points to Jesus’ mission of bringing wholeness to lives fractured by sin, suffering, and despair. Join us as we reflect on what this miracle reveals about God's ongoing work of renewal, hope, and transformation.

What Jesus Continues to Do // Forgiveness
2w agoTap to summarizeForgiveness is one of the hardest things Jesus asks us to do. It becomes easier when we remember that throughout the story of humanity, God has forgiven us over and over again. In this message, Jasmine Wood walks us through Acts 6-7 and the story of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, forgiving his enemies. Forgiveness isn't a suggestion, but a command from Jesus. It's the oldest thing God has ever done and when we forgive others, Jesus takes notice.

May 3Tap to summarizeOur series on Acts continues with a focus on fellowship. Jasmine Wood preaches from Acts 9 and makes the case that holy community isn't a program, but the body of Christ made visible. Through the story of Saul's conversion and one man named Barnabas who chose to vouch for him when no one else would, we explore three movements of holy community: being taken before you've earned it, being witnessed through your transformation, and learning to show up before you feel ready.

In this message, Pastor Vito explores how Jesus’ resurrection came “while it was still dark,” revealing a God who meets us in our pain, doubt, and brokenness.
