Week 4 - How To Handle Persecution
What do you do when your faith costs you something?In Week 4 of our Shockwave series, we dive into Acts chapter 4 and uncover how the early church responded when pressure, opposition, and persecution hit hard. While many of us in America live comfortably, millions of believers around the world are suffering for the name of Jesus right now—and Scripture makes it clear: if we truly follow Christ, we should expect it too. So how do we stand firm?In this powerful message, we learn from Peter and John—ordinary men who displayed extraordinary boldness in the face of intimidation, arrest, and threats. Their response gives us a blueprint for living courageously in a culture that increasingly pushes back against the Gospel.

Week 3 - Jesus Still Does Miracles
In Week 3 of our Shockwave series through the Book of Acts, we dive into one of the most powerful moments in the early church — the healing of the lame man in Acts 3. This message reminds us that the same Jesus who performed miracles 2,000 years ago is still moving today.Through the story of Peter and John at the temple gate called Beautiful, we discover three powerful truths about miracles:• The connection between prayer and miracles• The power found in the name of Jesus• How miracles point people toward faith and evangelismJesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If you’ve ever wondered whether God still heals, still answers prayer, or still works through ordinary people — this message is for you.

Week 2 - What is the Gift of Tongues?
In Week 2 of our Shockwave series, we dive into one of the most debated and misunderstood topics in Christianity: the gift of tongues. What happened in Acts 2 on the Day of Pentecost? Is speaking in tongues still for today? Does every believer receive this gift? And is it the evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit?In this message, we move beyond opinions, traditions, and controversy to simply ask: What does the Bible actually say?Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or seeking deeper understanding, this message invites you to approach the topic with an open heart and a desire to let Scripture speak for itself.

Easter 2026

Week 1 - Created To Carry Christ
What if the most unlikely person in the story was actually the key to the mission?In the Triumphal Entry, Jesus chose a humble donkey to carry Him into Jerusalem. It wasn’t powerful, impressive, or experienced—but it was chosen. And the same is true for us.In this message, “Created to Carry Christ,” we begin our Holy Week series by looking at the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem and the deeper meaning behind it.
