Sparking the Flame: Ananias and Sapphira (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summary: Why did Ananias and Sapphira drop dead for giving money to the church? This sermon from Acts 4–5 contrasts Barnabas's secret, radical generosity with a couple who faked theirs. Ananias and Sapphira sold property, promised all the proceeds to God, then quietly kept some back while claiming full devotion—lying to the Holy Spirit, who is God Himself. Peter makes clear they weren't required to give anything; the sin was hypocrisy, robbery of what they'd dedicated to God, and mistrust dresse
Sparking the Flame: The Fear of God (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summary: Join us as we continue our series Sparking the Flame, walking through Acts 3 and 4 and the birth of the early church. Watch Peter transform from the man who denied Jesus to a servant girl into the bold apostle who stands before the Sanhedrin and refuses to be silenced. Through the healing of a lame man at the Beautiful Gate, we see that Christ alone restores what human effort cannot fix, and salvation is found in no other name. When we truly fear God, we fear no human threat. Pray for b
Sparking the Flame: Pentecost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summary: Step into Acts Chapter 2 and witness the powerful birth of the church. On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit fills the disciples, and they begin speaking in languages they never learned, reversing the curse of Babel and gathering people from every nation. Peter, once impulsive and unsure, boldly preaches his first sermon, and 3,000 souls are saved, a striking contrast to the 3,000 who died when the old covenant was given. This message challenges us to live as bold witnesses, prioriti
Sparking the Flame: Ascension/Commission (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summary: Kicking off a new series in the book of Acts, this message explores Jesus' final instructions to His apostles before ascending to heaven. The King gives the mission and supplies the power through the Holy Spirit, who is indispensable for the work of the church. The apostles waited and prayed together in Jerusalem, trusting Jesus even when they didn't fully understand. Judas stands as a tragic warning that closeness to religion is no substitute for genuine faith. Whether you're new to Ch
Galatians: The Good Life (Continued) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summary: In this message from Galatians 6:11-18, Paul takes the pen himself to expose the exhausting trap of religious performance. The false teachers pushed circumcision to avoid persecution and to boast in outward compliance, but Paul refuses to boast in anything except the cross of Christ. Through the cross, our self-righteousness is crushed, the world's approval loses its grip, and we become a new creation. Rather than demanding others carry marks of religious achievement, Paul bore the scar
