In today's sermon, we explore Acts 12:1-17, highlighting the themes of costly discipleship and God's faithful deliverance. As the early church faces persecution, including the martyrdom of James and the imprisonment of Peter, they respond not with fear or retaliation, but through unified prayer. We see how God intervenes miraculously, freeing Peter from prison and reinforcing the power of communal faith. Join us as we reflect on our own stories of God's faithfulness and how we can courageously carry the good news of the Gospel in every season of life.Our mission is to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ with our words and display the gospel of Jesus Christ with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.

Acts 11 moves in two directions at once. In Jerusalem, Peter defends what God did in Cornelius's house—and the church, to its credit, responds with worship. In Antioch, the gospel is already doing something no one planned, and no one could have stopped. A cosmopolitan port city on the edge of the empire becomes the unlikely birthplace of the Gentile mission, the first genuinely multi-ethnic church, and the place where followers of Jesus are first called Christians. This sermon looks at what made the unlikely church of Antioch extraordinary—and asks whether we are willing to be that kind of church.Our mission is to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ with our words and display the gospel of Jesus Christ with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.

Acts 10:34–48 is one of the most theologically explosive passages in the entire New Testament. Peter preaches the gospel to a room full of Gentiles, the Holy Spirit falls before he has even finished speaking, and a—wall centuries in the making—comes crashing down. This is the Gentile Pentecost. The same Spirit, the same power, the same unmistakable divine signature that fell in Jerusalem now falls on those who were never supposed to be included. This sermon explores what the Spirit’s arrival means theologically, what it demands of the church, and what it means for us as a congregation of predominantly Gentile heritage. We are the heirs of this moment. We were once the mission. Now we are the missionaries.Our mission is to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ with our words and display the gospel of Jesus Christ with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.

Acts 10:1–33 is one of the most carefully constructed passages in the book of Acts — a cinematic, back-and-forth account of God simultaneously preparing two very different men for a meeting neither of them would have sought on their own. Before the gospel crosses its greatest cultural barrier, God moves from both directions at once: softening the heart of a Roman soldier, breaking open the categories of a Jewish fisherman. This sermon explores the doctrine of providence—the invisible hand of God working ahead of us — and what it means for how we engage in mission. God has sent us to the nations. But in his providence, he has also sent the nations to us.Our mission is to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ with our words and display the gospel of Jesus Christ with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.

Acts 9:32–43 shows how Jesus’ work continues through his followers as Peter heals Aeneas and raises Tabitha, challenging the church to act with tangible compassion. This sermon explores what it looks like to embody Christ’s mercy today—including bold initiatives like forgiving medical debt—and to rely on the Spirit rather than our own strength. It questions whether our prayers and actions expect God to move in extraordinary ways. Listen to discover practical steps for living as a people through whom Jesus still heals, raises, and draws others to himself.Our mission is to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ with our words and display the gospel of Jesus Christ with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.

In Acts 8:26–40, a powerful Ethiopian official travels a desert road searching the Scriptures and wondering who Isaiah’s suffering servant could be. God sends Philip to explain that the servant is Jesus—the one who suffered, died, and rose again to bring forgiveness and new life. As the eunuch believes the gospel, he asks a powerful question: “What prevents me from being baptized?” This Easter message reminds us that because of the risen Christ, nothing prevents sinners from coming home to God.Our mission is to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ with our words and display the gospel of Jesus Christ with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.

In Acts 8:9–25, we encounter Simon the magician, a man who believed the powerof God could be bought. When he offers money to gain the power of the HolySpirit, Peter sharply rebukes him and exposes a dangerous misunderstanding ofthe gospel. This passage challenges the temptation to use faith as a means to gaininfluence, success, or recognition rather than seeking Christ himself. On PalmSunday, we remember that the greatest gift of God was not purchased with silveror gold, but with the blood of Jesus ChristOur mission is to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ with our words and display the gospel of Jesus Christ with our lives to our neighbors and to the nations.
