Persecution & The Gospel | Acts Series | August 11th, 2024
08/13/24 • 35 min
This past Sunday, we concluded the first section of our series in the Book of Acts by exploring the result of Stephen’s persecution: exponential growth in the church. While it may seem counterintuitive, in the book of Acts, we consistently observe opposition to the faith that leads to the advance of the gospel. As we reflect on the experience of the persecuted church in Scripture and throughout history, we’re reminded that persecution can solidify the integrity of our faith, inspire those around us, and unite us with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Intersections | August 18th, 2024
This past Sunday, we began our new series entitled “Intersections,” exploring how God uses our unique encounters and experiences to bring value to the work of the kingdom. Through the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch, we are given an example of how God can divinely weave together stories and moments for his purposes and the building up of the church. A life of engaging others with the gospel begins when our lives intersect with Christ, and we start the process of healing from sin, finding our identity fully in him, and being formed more and into his likeness.
