Following Jesus means that life will always be easy, right? Not exactly. This week we are reading a story from Acts 13-14 about two ancient Christians named Paul and Barnabas who faced some tough challenges in their life and faith. Join us this week to learn about the strength God gives us for the challenges we face.
The story of Cornelius and Peter from the early church shows us that when God sees a heart that is seeking Him, what he wants most is for that person not to stay a ‘lone ranger Christian’ but to be drawn into a community of faith. How is God still doing this in us today?
Join us today, as we study the conversion of the apostle Paul and how the power of Christ can bring enemies together as friends in our lives today.

Do you ever wonder about what happens next, after this earthly life is over? Or do you wonder how some people can seem so certain about their future and still be so unchanged in their present?

Sharing life with other people makes life great. Sharing life with other people makes life hard. Join us for this message as we continue our journey through the book of Acts and learn what the early church did to follow the way of Jesus when life in community started to get hard.
In our lives, everyone wants to feel we are in control. But it is when we think we are most in control that we seem least open to hearing what God wants to be doing in and through us. Real power, power that brings eternal fruit, comes not from our control, but from our surrender to what God will do in and through us.
What does it take to live a life that makes a positive impact on others? What does it take to live a life that is memorable and not forgettable? What do you have that makes a real difference in the world? Join us for this message to discover what God has given you that you can give to others.
On Pentecost we see the Lord fulfilling his promise to send the Holy Spirit to the disciples. As the death and resurrection of Jesus fulfilled the Passover covenant, and established a new one, so in Pentecost, through the Holy Spirit God opened up power for us to know and participate in a new harvest of life.
