Episodes
-
BEyond Comfort - BE Courageous
Personal comfort acts as an invisible barrier to our spiritual breakthrough, effectively becoming an idol that limits our growth. To move beyond this and unlock radical freedom, we must trade our passive pursuit of ease for the active, unshakeable courage found in Christ—who empowers us to do all...
-
BEyond Limits - BE Expectant
We often hit a limit in our spiritual lives because we rely on our own finite resources. To go beyond our natural limits, we must shift from self-sufficiency to a posture of expectancy and deep dependence on God’s infinite resources and power.
-
ACTS - Unstoppable
We close our wild and wonderful journey through the Book of Acts with Paul’s arrival in Rome, where he continues to boldly teach about Jesus. Nothing or No one could stop him.
-
ACTS - The Journey to Believe
Join Pastor Ryan Alexander for today's message!
-
What it's All About - Fall Kickoff
Fall is the time to come back to our core mission and purpose, as individuals and as a church. In this passage, Paul is forced to articulate his life mission, message, and his motivation for it all.
-
ACTS - I Am Ready - The Lord's Will be Done
A prophet graphically foretells that Paul’s ministry career will end with arrests and accusations, yet he seizes every opportunity to share his story, and the good news about Jesus with countless leaders and crowds.
-
ACTS - Lessons for Leaders
As Paul says goodbye to believers in Ephesus, he reflects on this ministry career, and leaves the next generation of leaders with encouragement to guard and protect God’s flock.
-
ACTS - Cultivating Calm in an Age of Rage
Paul stayed in Ephesus longer than anywhere else, and his message triggered a massive, culturally disruptive spiritual awakening in a city deeply saturated with superstition, sorcery, and witchcraft.
-
ACTS - The Gospel goes to Vegas (Corinth)
Loose morals, pagan temples, and rampant materialism made the thriving, turbulent cosmopolitan metropolis of Corinth a fascinating and intimidating place for Paul to bring the Gospel message.
-
ACTS - Making the "Unknown God" Known
When Paul reached Athens, he was deeply disturbed by idols and inscriptions to an “Unknown God.” He earned the invitation to speak with the Greek philosophers and used his sermon on “Mars Hill” to introduce the Creator they worship without knowing.
-
ACTS - Free x 3
When his prayer to set a woman free lands Paul and Silas in prison, their worship and prayer causes the earth to quake, chains to break, and the jailer and his whole household come to faith in Jesus.
-
ACTS - Closed Doors & Open Hearts
The Holy Spirit leads Paul and Silas into Europe, where they find a woman by the riverside, whose heart is open to their message.
-
ACTS - Parting Ways
There are moments when the deep convictions held by two Christians may differ so significantly that they have to separate, not because one is “right” and the other “wrong” but because each must be faithful to The Lord’s direction.
-
ACTS - Nothing and a Few Things
From the start, The Church has faced moments of sharp disagreement around beliefs and practices. Acts 15 represents the first “council” of Christian leaders, who worked through their differences, and provided unified direction.
-
ACTS: Deflecting the Praise and Finding New Ways
When Paul and Barnabas amazed the Greeks with their healing power and authoritative teaching-the crowd was quick to credit their usual gods. But Paul and Baranabas deflected the praise and found new ways to point to the evidence and goodness of God.
-
ACTS - False Prophets: Enemies of Good
Paul and Barnabas set off on their first missionary journey, and immediately encounter spiritual resistance from a false prophet and “enemy of all that is good.” We all need to guard the voices we give ear to.
-
ACTS - The Power of an Encourager
On the day we honor the men among us, we look at the life of a man whose enduring legacy was his gift of encouragement. Barnabas saw and called out God’s best in people, including Paul.
-
ACTS - Stretching Beyond our Limits
Peter is thrown in prison for preaching the gospel. But the church prayed earnestly and Peter wasn’t the only one who had a hard time believing that an angel rescued him.
-
ACTS: Extraordinary Grace For Ordinary Times
Like our lives, the book of Acts moves and breathes between Extraordinary time and Ordinary time, but God’s grace was extraordinary in both, especially for those who gained the nickname “Christians.”
-
ACTS: Slaying the Critical Spirit
A podcast of the sermon message from May 31, 2026.
-
Pentecost: The Fire Falls
This week's sermon.
-
Ascension Sunday: Hearing from God
Throughout the Book of Acts, we see examples of how God empowers the Church to carry out miraculous healing, transformation and Gospel expansion in the name of Jesus Christ. What happened in those days can also happen in these days! Then and now, it starts with hearing God’s voice.
-
Mother's Day - A Woman of Honor is Raised from the Dead
On the day we honor the women among us, we remember the story of a woman who was so beloved that when she passed, the community gathered to show off her handmade clothes. But Peter asked The Lord to let her live again…
-
Confirmation Sunday - Becoming Your Future You
Confirming our faith in Jesus is just the beginning of a wild and wonderful journey of learning to follow him. Paul did not become a missional man of God overnight, but over time.
-
ACTS - The Most Unlikely Convert
Acts 9 captures the most famous conversion story in the book of Acts- as Paul goes from persecutor to proselytizer.
-
ACTS - The Ethiopian Eunuch: A World Turned Outside In
The good news about Jesus spreads to unlikely people from unlikely places. But what can stand in the way of them believing and being baptized?

Persecution causes the church to scatter, and the good news about Jesus to spread to people with previously held beliefs and spiritual strongholds, including a powerful magician.

Palm Sunday - The First Christian Martyr
Holy Week begins with the celebration of Palm Sunday. Over the course of this week- Jesus moved from being exalted as a hero to crucified as a criminal. In Acts 7, the first Christian martyr (Stephen) follows the same trajectory.
-
ACTS - Falsely Accused with the Face of an Angel
Stephen- a man full of God’s grace and power- is falsely accused by jealous Jews. Knowing his time is short, he delivers a message that invites his accusers to break their pattern of rejecting the truth.
-
ACTS - The Gains of Growing Pains
The rapid growth of the early church led to growing pains that revealed the need for new solutions and new leaders.
-
ACTS - Jailbreak for Jesus' Sake
The Disciples are freed from jail by an angel of the Lord for the purposes of the Lord, knowing their calling still risked persecution. Your freedom in Jesus contains purpose and carries risk. Will you take the risk to live your purpose?
-
ACTS - Hurting Crowds, Healing Shadows
The early church continues the healing ministry of Jesus
-
ACTS - Dead among Beauty, Grace & Possibility
In Dead Among Beauty, Grace & Possibility, we trace Acts 4:32–37 and 5:1–11. Together, these passages show both the beauty of Spirit-filled unity and the seriousness of living truthfully before God. Authentic faith isn’t about appearances—it’s about wholehearted devotion.
-
