Teaching by Series: The Church in Acts: Foundation of Mission and Community
The Church in Acts, Part 20: Paul in Rome
The church is God’s plan A, and there is no plan B, for the spread of the gospel message. Two thousand years after the book of Acts concluded, the mission still rests on the church.
Watch / ListenThe Church in Acts, Part 19: Agrippa, Then Off to Rome
Peace is not fundamentally found in the absence of a storm but in the confidence of Jesus in the storm. So we can “stop kicking against the goads” and embrace God’s sovereign plan.
Watch / ListenThe Church in Acts, Part 18: Paul in Caesarea
Don’t be like Felix, who was unwilling to surrender his life to the Lord. Instead, we must embrace Jesus in each season of life and be both faithful followers of Christ and loyal citizens where God has placed us.

By studying the apostle Paul’s perspective on life and ministry, we can learn how to live for Christ, engage people, and be ambitious but patient.

Watch / ListenThe Church in Acts, Part 15: The Second Missionary Journey
Everyone worships someone or something. As worshipers of the one true God, we are called to be like the Bereans in studying His Word, to embrace the place where God has put us, and to master the art of asking questions.

Watch / ListenThe Church in Acts, Part 12: The Disruptive Gospel
The gospel brings division, so we follow Him. We are wired to worship, so we worship Him. When God does not meet our expectations, we trust Him. When we experience suffering, we submit to Him.
Watch / ListenThe Church in Acts, Part 11: The First Missionary Journey
Paul’s first missionary journey shows us that we should always be prepared with the gospel message and that we must learn to discern the leading of the Holy Spirit.
