When the Way Forward Isn’t Clear - Acts 27
What do you do when the way forward isn’t clear? In Acts 27, the apostle Paul finds himself caught in a violent storm, surrounded by people who have lost all hope, on a ship that is literally falling apart. Yet behind the chaos, something much bigger is happening. This Sunday, we’ll follow Paul...
-
Christ’s Work through His Witness - Acts 25:13-26:32
In Paul’s final legal defense we are reminded that we too are brought into participation in Christ’s mission for the world. We have the exciting opportunity to see Christ’s power on display as we bear witness to him. We should consider this to be the adventure of our lives! However, let’s admit...
-
On Trial for Hope - Acts 24:1-25:12
This week Paul is once again on trial, but now before the Roman governor. Despite what it may seem, despite what his accusers say, he makes clear that he is really on trial for his hope in the resurrection. Do you realize that hope makes all the difference in the call of faithful witness to…

Preservation with a Purpose - Acts 22:30-23:35
This week we find that Paul is now in the custody of the Roman authorities who pulled him out of a life-threatening mob at the temple. By no means does this mean that he is far from potential harm. That said, we see God (in His sovereignty) bringing deliverance in ways unique to Paul’s…
more -
Accused and Arrested - Acts 21:17-22:29
This Sunday we return to the book of Acts. As we have observed throughout our study, we see again the call and the cost of bearing witness to Jesus. We read how Paul was falsely accused of bringing a Gentile into the temple and nearly killed by an angry mob. Then, by the end of our passage this...
-
Regard the King - Psalm 41
This Sunday we come to the end of Book 1 of the Psalms. In Psalm 41, David writes in reflection on period of sickness that nearly ended his life. Although his enemies wished him dead, his deliverance from this illness once again gives him confidence in the promises of God. As you prepare for...
-
Blessed in the Waiting - Psalm 40
Life is full of waiting; it’s unavoidable. But Christians do not just wait for circumstances to change, we wait on the Lord himself. In fact, waiting on the Lord is the posture of the entire Christian life. So then how can we learn to not waste our waiting? How do we wait well? Psalm 40 contains...
-
Life Is a Vapour - Psalm 39
We know life is short, but we often live as though we have all the time in the world. We put off obedience, spend ourselves on things that will not last, and assume there will always be another season to get serious about what matters most. In Psalm 39, David is forced to face just how brief and...
-
The Plague of Sin - Psalm 38
This penitential Psalm has David in the dark and heavy throws of repentance. God has struck him down with deep sorrow and conviction over his sin and he is rendered helpless because of it; knowing that that same God is the only one who can remove sins’ burden and bring relief to his tortured…
more -
While You Wait - Psalm 37
Psalm 37 is a complex passage with a really simple message. Remain faithful while you wait. But the Lord knows that it is difficult for us to do so in a world where the wicked seem to prosper and the righteous so often suffer. So where do we find the strength to endure? How are we called to…
more -
True Sight in Your Light - Psalm 36
How you see determines how you will live. We hope you will join us for worship this Sunday.
-
Justice-Seeking Prayer - Psalm 35
Psalm 35 is one of those passages of Scripture that likely upsets our sensibilities. We wonder how some of these prayers square with what Jesus tells us. My hope is that we will come away understanding how Christians can faithfully pray these justice-seeking prayers. David’s prayer in Psalm 35...
-
The Refuge Called Good - Psalm 34
God Hears, God Saves Psalm 34 is one of the rare Psalms that gives us the context from which the Psalm arises. Not only is the text a testimony to the goodness of God and His saving work; but it also teaches us how to navigate frightful circumstances. What does it look like to seek the Lord in...
-
God Speaks, God Sees - Psalm 33
For my money, Psalm 33 is a quintessential psalm of praise. In each praise psalm God’s people are called to worship and are given reason after reason why we ought to worship the Lord. In Psalm 33, the fuel for our worship is God’s sure word and total rule. But just as what God says is fuel for…
more -
The Gospel According to David - Psalm 32
This Sunday we will consider the blessedness of forgiveness. In Psalm 32 we read how David was convicted by his sin, he confessed it to the Lord, and was completely forgiven. Trails, this is the gospel preached to us, written over 1000 years before the cross. Remember that repentance and faith…
more -
In the Hand of God - Psalm 31
This Sunday we are in Psalm 31, a lament that majors on the theme of trust in the Lord. Even in his deepest distress, David remains confident in the faithful love of God that will deliver him. How can we do the same? What does it look like to remain confident in God even when our pain does not…
more -
Learning Lessons the Hard Way - Psalm 30
It is rather providential that on this Father’s Day we find ourselves in a passage that deals with the theme of God’s discipline of his children. In Psalm 30, David praises God for how he delivered him, not from enemies, but from discipline for his own sin. In this David gives thanks for how God...
-
Destination Suffering - Acts 21:1-16
Have you ever faced a time of what you might consider ‘God-ordained suffering’? What do we do in those situations? Do we avoid it at all costs? Have you ever had to watch a fellow believer enter a time like that? What do we do in that instance? Do we act to save them from the pain ahead? And…
more -
The Painful Cost of Leadership - Acts 20:17-38
This week we read Paul’s farewell speech to the elders of the Ephesian Church. It is a tearful goodbye as Paul’s pastoral heart is made evident. His primary concern is for the church to remain healthy in his absence. What this will require is for pastors to follow Paul’s example and to heed is...
-
The Apostle to the Gentiles at Work - Acts 20:1-16
This week Paul begins the long voyage back to Jerusalem to conclude his third missionary journey. We also read about an averted tragedy, that Paul was used by God to resurrect a young lad named Eutychus. He fell asleep and then fell from a window in the middle of church! Despite being an easy...
-
The Butterfly Effect - Acts 19:21-41
Acts chronicles the relentless expansion of the good news of Jesus. In the second part of Acts 19 we jump ahead a few years to the conclusion of Paul's time in Ephesus, and from this we are given a glimpse into the effects of the gospel on a society. From the empty tomb in Jerusalem, to this wild...
-
Humour and Horror - Acts 19:1-20
In Acts 19 Paul arrives in the city of Ephesus where he experiences one of his most fruitful and extraordinary seasons of ministry. However, we also find two rather peculiar stories: twelves so-called disciples who have never heard of the Holy Spirit and seven Jewish exorcists who use the name of...
-
A Faithful Couple - Acts 18:18-26
You ever meet a couple who just makes you want to follow Jesus more? Not because they’re flashy. Not because they’re famous. But because there’s just something deeply steady, wise, and faithful about them. In Acts 18, we meet a couple like that: Aquila and Priscilla. Ordinary Christians who…
more -
A Call to Endure - Acts 18:1-17
Have you ever shared your faith and you thought it went well … only to find out later that it wasn’t received well? You got pulled aside by your boss, reprimanded, or maybe got a text that a said it wasn’t appreciated? Heartbreaking. Then, the next time you feel like you should share the gospel,...
-
The Knowledge of God Revealed - Acts 17:16-35
You and I aren’t neutral towards God … We are either worshipping Him or rebelling against Him. That’s the honest truth that Paul preaches to those in Athens in Acts 17:16–34. Athens, as we know, was as the intellectual capital of the world… thinkers, philosophers, culture-shapers everywhere. And...
-
A Picture and a Preview - Acts 17:1-15
Ever had one of those moments where something finally clicks… and now you can’t unsee it? That’s exactly what happens in our text this weekend, Acts 17:1-15. As the gospel moves from city to city, a pattern begins to emerge. What once felt random suddenly has structure. And once you see it… you...
-
How Jesus Plants a Church - Acts 16:16-40
Three people. Nothing in common. One gospel that changes everything. That is what we will see as we dive back into Acts 16 this week and see how the church in Philippi was planted—not through strategy or similarity, but through the power of the gospel. And as we do, we meet three very different...
-
Opened Doors, Opened Hearts - Acts 16:6-15
On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the glorious reality that God has acted to save sinners—which we will see through baptisms as well as in our study of Acts 16: 6-15. As the gospel moves into new territory, we’re reminded: 1) God providentially opens doors so the gospel is proclaimed. 2) God...
-
Conquering the Divide - Acts 15:36-16:5
Division is everywhere. Between friends. Between cultures. Even within the church. And if we’re honest… we’ve all felt it. Today, we’re stepping into a moment where even faithful, Spirit-filled leaders—Paul and Barnabas—find themselves in a sharp disagreement. At the same time, we’ll see another...
-
This Gospel of Grace - Acts 14:24–15:35
This Sunday we come to a watershed moment in the life of the early church—the Jerusalem Council. The issue on the table is not small. It’s not secondary. The very truth of the gospel is at stake. Are we saved by our works? Or are we saved by grace alone? Though the debate in Acts 15 centers on…
more -
Jesus Perseveres His People
What if the hardest moments in the Christian life are actually where Jesus is most clearly at work? This week in Acts 14, Paul heals a crippled man… the crowd tries to worship him as a god… and then the same crowd stones him and leaves him for dead. Opposition. Confusion. Suffering. And yet the...
-
Sent to Preach Christ
The best news in the Bible isn’t that God has a wonderful plan for your life. It’s that God has made a way to forgive your sins. That’s what we are diving into this weekend as we continue our journey through Acts 13 and come to Paul’s first recorded sermon. And his message is simple but...
-
The First Sending Church
This Sunday, we step into one of the most intense chapters in the book of Acts. James is executed. Peter is imprisoned. Herod exalts himself like a god. And yet — Jesus is not threatened. He is reigning. Acts 12 smells like the battlefield. But what we discover is this: when you stand against...
-
Trial and Triumph
This Sunday, we step into one of the most intense chapters in the book of Acts. James is executed. Peter is imprisoned. Herod exalts himself like a god. And yet — Jesus is not threatened. He is reigning. Acts 12 smells like the battlefield. But what we discover is this: when you stand against...
-
Called "Christians" - Acts 11:19–30
That name started in Antioch. Not in a cathedral. Not in comfort. Not in cultural power. But in the middle of persecution, scattering, bold preaching, deep discipleship, and radical generosity. This Sunday we’re in Acts 11:19–30. The gospel keeps moving. The church keeps growing. And for the…
more -
Accepted by God
Acts 10:1–11:18 This week’s text isn’t a side story. It’s a history-shifting moment. Like… one of the most important turns in the whole Bible. The question behind it all: What did it actually take for us to be accepted by God? Because we all have an answer to that — even if we’ve never said it…
more -
Jesus' Work Through His People
This week we’re in Acts 9 and yes — it includes a woman named Dorcas 😌 but this passage is way deeper than a funny name. We’re watching Jesus do the impossible: a paralyzed man walks 🦵 a dead woman lives again ❤️🔥 But here’s the twist: the point isn’t “wow, miracles.” The point is WOW, JESUS....
-
Jesus Builds His Church
Acts 9:19b-31 Last week, we saw how Saul met Jesus and heard from Jesus how Saul would be His chosen instrument to: 1) preach about Jesus to his fellow Jews, to Kings, and to the Gentiles. 2) to suffer on account of the name of Jesus. This week we’ll see how Saul’s life begins to demonstrate…
more -
An Unlikely Convert
This Sunday, we are in Acts 9:1–19, one of the most gripping passages in the book of Acts—the story of how Jesus stops Saul in his tracks and turns a persecutor into a disciple. But as we’ll see, this isn’t a story about a man finding his way to God through effort, morality, or religious…
more -
The Gospel for the Far-Off
In our passage this week, Philip encounters a rather unique individual in the middle of the desert, one of the most powerful men from an African empire. He is a eunuch, but he is also a convert to the worship of the God of Israel. In this passage Philip shares the gospel with this man starting…
more -
The Servant & the Sorcerer
This Sunday we will consider the advance of the gospel into Samaria in Acts 8, showing how Christ brings joy, unity, and freedom even into a place long marked by division, idolatry, and spiritual darkness. Through Philip’s preaching, the Samaritans receive the good news, experience real...
-
The Promise Goes Public
Luke 2:22-35 this good news of great joy will continue to be revealed. There we learn that this good news is for more than just Israel; Jesus will be a light of revelation to the Gentiles. However, included with this prophecy of great news is a warning. The arrival of the long-awaited Messiah…
more -
The Promise Visited
Luke 2:15-21 15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17…
more -
The Promise Announced
Luke 2:8–14 The angels didn’t whisper the Christmas message — they announced it. This week, we’ll sit in the fields with the shepherds and hear the good news of great joy — news so good that heaven itself couldn’t stay silent. We’ll see why God sends this announcement to unexpected people, what…
more -
The Promise Embodied
This Christmas Season, we’re fixing our eyes on The Fulfillment of God’s Promises — and this weekend, we’ll see how that Promise didn’t arrive in power, comfort, or control… but in humility. Here’s what we will be studying together: 📖 Luke 2:1–7 | Philippians 2:5–11 Here we will see: A world…
more -
The Promise Given
A quiet town. An unexpected girl. A messenger from God. A Messiah coming to fulfill the Promises. The announcement of Jesus isn’t just a Christmas moment — it’s the turning point of the whole story of Scripture. Every promise finds its “yes” in Him. Mary responds with humble faith: “Let it be to…

The Servant, the Sermon, the Stone, and the Seed
🔥 When Egypt creeps back into your heart… This Sunday we step into one of the most powerful moments in the Book of Acts — Stephen’s sermon, his bold witness before the Sanhedrin, and the first Christian martyrdom. Stephen walks Israel’s entire history to show one massive truth: God is always...
-
Widows, Servant Leaders, and Unlikely Converts
What do you do when the needs around you are bigger than your capacity? As we come to Acts 6, we’re stepping into a moment where the early church hit a crisis — not of apathy, but of capacity. Widows were being unintentionally overlooked. Tension was growing. Unity was threatened. But instead of...
-
Do You Value Jesus?
❓What do you value most? 💭 Advancement? 📈 Image? 👤 Relationships? 🤝 Security? 🔐 This Sunday, we’ll step into Acts 5 where the apostles face prison again but this time, they also get beaten for their faith in Jesus … shockingly, they leave this whole experience rejoicing. Why? Because they...
-
Half a Heart Produces No Pulse at All - Acts 4:32-5:11
The early church was marked by wholehearted devotion — unity, generosity, honesty, and awe before a holy God. But the story of Ananias and Sapphira reminds us: God is not interested in partial obedience, spiritual performance, or selective surrender. God wants the whole heart — not the edited,...
