What if church equipped us to go out and make a difference, not just sit and listen? In the final part of our Reach series, Pastor Chris Brooks takes us to Acts 13 and helps us rethink what it means to be a body of believers. It’s not just about showing up on Sundays; it’s about being sent out to share the Gospel.   The Church in Antioch didn’t stay comfortable or play it safe. They fasted, prayed, listened to the Holy Spirit, and sent everyone to spread the Good News of Jesus. This message reminds us that we're all called to go, whether it’s across the world or across the street.  

What happens when following Jesus becomes difficult?  Living out your faith can feel like a tough obstacle course filled with criticism and pressure coming from all sides. But as we see in Acts 12, the harder the world tries to suppress our faith, the more it spreads. Tune in as we dive into how the Gospel overcame the major challenges faced by the early Church. Remember: you were made to follow Jesus through every obstacle because God’s purpose always advances.

We're all searching for purpose: what if Jesus has the answer?   In this powerful message from Acts 11, Pastor [NAME] reminds us that the mission of the Church is to help people belong to Christ, grow in Christ, and reach the world for Christ. This passage challenges us to move past self-preservation and step into Gospel-centered living. We’ll look at how early believers made a difference by boldly sharing their faith, equipping everyday people for leadership, and living out the mission of Jesus with radical generosity. Listen in to discover how their example can still inspire us today. 

What if every Christian prioritized sharing the Gospel?  The Gospel didn’t stop in Jerusalem, and it’s not meant to stop with us. In Acts 11, the Apostle Peter describes how God broke down cultural barriers to reach new people through vision, obedience, and the power of the Holy Spirit. If God’s heart is to reach all people, then sharing the Gospel isn’t optional for us—it’s essential.  As believers, we're called to advance the Gospel together in a world that desperately needs Jesus.  

Can God work through you to share the Gospel? In this special message celebrating Woodside’s 70th anniversary, Senior Pastor Chris Brooks illustrates the evangelism of the early church through the lens of Acts 10:34-43. Pastor Chris reminds us that God can use anyone while encouraging us to live in boldness for Christ, right where we are. Listen in to discover why sharing the Gospel isn't just for pastors or missionaries, but for every believer, everywhere.

God often works through women to accomplish extraordinary things. In Acts 9, the story of Tabitha offers a powerful reminder that faithfulness and strong character are tools that God uses to advance His Kingdom.   Tabitha's life shows us what it looks like to serve and influence others with grace. Her legacy reminds us that when we live faithfully, God can work through us in ways we might never expect. Tune in as we explore how this godly woman left a lasting impact for the Gospel—and how we can learn to do the same.

Scripture makes it abundantly clear that Christ will return. As His followers, how can we wait well?   Jesus gave us a clear commission: to proclaim His Gospel to the ends of the Earth. At the same time, Christ cautions us against trying to predict His return—only the Father knows the time. Instead, He calls us to live with steadfast hope, pursuing holiness, godliness, and joyful obedience.  Tune in to discover how you can live a hope-filled life in light of Jesus’ promised return. 

The message of Easter tells us that Jesus defeated death, rose from the grave, and ascended into Heaven, where He now sits at the right hand of God. This is a powerful story, but if we’re honest, the thought of Christ’s ascension can be a confusing idea.  So, what does His ascension really mean? Listen in as we talk about how God's plan for our Savior resulted in Jesus ruling over us with intention, interceding for us with love, and commissioning us for a special mission.

Who is Jesus?If you asked people who Jesus is, you’d get a variety of answers: “Teacher,” “Prophet,” “Savior,” or “Lord.” But what about “King of the Jews?” That title might not come to mind first, yet it’s exactly what Pilate asked Jesus and what was inscribed on the cross at His crucifixion.Why does this title matter? Because understanding Jesus as King reveals the profound purpose behind His life, death, and resurrection—far more than we often realize. In our new series, Crowned, we’ll journey through Gospel accounts to explore the significance of Jesus’ kingship. Together, we’ll uncover how His reign transforms our lives today.

What if the resurrection wasn’t just a moment in history—but the turning point of your life? The death and resurrection of Jesus isn’t just an annual reflection—it’s the event that changed everything. In the Gospel of Mark, we meet four witnesses who reveal who Jesus is: a Roman soldier who calls Him the Son of God, a religious leader who buries Him as King, women who proclaim Him risen, and a young man in white who points to our hope of new life.    Jesus conquered the grave, breaks our sin cycles, and offers us restoration. By placing your faith and trust in Christ’s hands, He offers a way out of shame and gives us a garment of new life and renewal. Listen in and discover how the risen Christ invites you into a new beginning.
