Acts 2:37-47, "The Spirit-Filled Church"
1w ago01:00:34Tap to summarizePeter delivers a message that cuts the crowd to the heart, and thousands respond by repenting, being baptized, and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. The new believers devote themselves to the apostles' teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer, while signs and wonders occur among them. They hold their possessions loosely, selling what they have to meet one another's needs, and gather together daily in the temple courts and in their homes with gladness and sincerity. The community grows steadily as the Lord adds to their number day by day those who are being saved. Where have you drawn the line between your private faith and your shared community life?

Acts 2:12-36, "Spirit Empowered Prophecy & Teaching"
2w ago00:57:20Tap to summarizeAs the crowd questions what they are witnessing, Peter stands and addresses them, explaining that the outpouring of the Spirit fulfills Joel's prophecy that God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh. He draws on Psalms 16 and 110 to argue that David anticipated both the resurrection and exaltation of Jesus, grounding his message in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Spirit's empowerment is evident not only in Peter's boldness but in his ability to interpret and apply Scripture in a coherent, persuasive way. He concludes with a direct declaration: God has made Jesus, the one they crucified, both Lord and Messiah. How do you discern whether boldness in your speech is coming from the Spirit, or from yourself?

Acts 2:1-13, The Fire & Wind of the Holy Spirit"
3w ago01:07:05Tap to summarizeThe disciples are gathered together when suddenly a sound like a rushing wind fills the entire house. Tongues of fire appear and settle on each of them. They begin speaking in languages they have never learned. Devout Jews from every nation hear their own tongues proclaiming God's wonders, leaving them astonished and perplexed. Others mock, assuming they are drunk. What do we do when confronted with something we can't explain? Are you more likely to respond with awe or skepticism?

Acts 1:9-26, "The Ascension"
4w ago00:44:10Tap to summarizeAs the disciples watch, Jesus is lifted up and a cloud takes him out of their sight, leaving them standing and gazing up toward heaven until two men in white robes appear and redirect their attention back to earth. The disciples return to Jerusalem and gather in the upper room, where they devote themselves to prayer alongside the women, Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. Peter stands among the gathered believers and addresses the need to replace Judas, whose betrayal and death had left a vacancy among the twelve apostles. Matthias is chosen by lot to take Judas's place, completing the circle of witnesses who will carry forward what they have seen and heard. When the visible disappears, what do we anchor our certainty to?

Acts 1:1-8, "Jesus' Work Through the Spirit & the Church"
Apr 1201:01:50Tap to summarizeJesus appears to his disciples, calming their fear and showing them his hands and feet as proof that he stands before them in bodily form, then opens their minds to understand how the scriptures have been fulfilled in him. He commissions them to carry the message of repentance and forgiveness to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem, and promises that the Father will send what he has promised to equip them for this work. Before he is carried up into heaven, he leads them out toward Bethany and blesses them, leaving them to return to Jerusalem with great joy. There, as they wait in the city, he instructs them through the Holy Spirit that they will receive power and become his witnesses not only in Jerusalem but to the very ends of the earth. How do you move forward even when the future feels uncertain?

Easter Sunday – "The Imminent Dawn"
Apr 501:07:00Tap to summarizeAs it begins to dawn, two women make their way to a sealed tomb—only to find the stone rolled away, an angel waiting, and the announcement that the One they came to mourn is no longer there. The sorrow they had carried gives way not gradually, but all at once, as sudden and irreversible as daybreak. Writing in 1 Corinthians, Paul later insists on the concrete reality of this moment, anchoring the Jesus's Resurrection in history: Christ died, was buried, rose on the third day, and is seen by Peter, by the twelve, by more than five hundred. What areas of your life still need to experience the unstoppable hope of Jesus?

Palm Sunday - Luke 19:28-40, "This Is Our King"
Mar 2900:54:40Tap to summarizeJesus approaches Jerusalem by first sending two disciples to retrieve a colt that has never been ridden, and they find it just as He described. The crowd that sees Him coming spreads their cloaks on the road and praises God, declaring the King has come. When the Pharisees urge Him to silence the crowd, He replies that if they were silent, even the stones would cry out. This Palm Sunday, come join us as we lift our voices together and seek the face of our King.

The Good News In Genesis (Genesis 1-50 Recap)
Mar 2201:02:50Tap to summarizeGenesis isn't just ancient history: It's the story of a God who makes promises and keeps them, even when life feels unfinished, broken, or uncertain. As we recap the book of Genesis we'll recall how the patriarchs trusted God through suffering, lived as flawed communities of faith, and found their individual stories swept up into something far greater than themselves. We'll trace how the gospel of Jesus is woven into every page of Genesis, pointing us to the ultimate fulfillment of everything God set in motion at Creation. If you've ever wondered where you fit in God's story, Genesis has Good News for you.

Genesis 49 & 50, "Faith That Outlives Death"
Mar 1501:05:00Tap to summarizeJacob's dying words are not a farewell but a forecast, blessing each son with a future he will never live to see, then making them swear to carry his bones back to the promised land. Joseph, burying his father and later comforting his brothers, declares that God has threaded even their cruelty into something redemptive — and when his own death comes, he too leaves instructions for his remains to be carried home by a generation not yet born. How does your faith show up not just in what you say, but in what you arrange, invest in, and leave behind?

Church Family Meeting
Mar 801:13:00Tap to summarizeIn Acts, Peter's passionate plea cuts through the crowd, and thousands respond, getting baptized and jumping headfirst into a tight-knit community devoted to teaching, prayer, and sharing meals together. They sell their possessions, meet daily, and take care of anyone who has a need out of genuine love for one another. In Ephesians, Paul writes that Christ appoints different roles in the church—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—specifically to train the rest of the members for works of service. Together, like a body where every joint and ligament does its part, they hold one another in truth and love, becoming something no single person could ever be alone. Is church just a place where you go, or is it a community you're a part of? What is your role in the church today? Pastor Matt provides an update on the ministry here at ReGen and how you can get involved.
