Acts 11: The Creator Loves His Creation - July 19, 2020

As we continue through our study of Acts, we see a lot of repetition in Acts 11 that carried over from Acts 10. Peter handles all of the objections from the people who think that only people from the Jewish background can know God. The vision Peter had in Acts 10 shows that God loves the whole world, declaring it clean and loved.

God shows his love through the work of Jesus Christ. He shares his love by the prompting of the Holy Spirit. We are called to make the path of the Lord straight and not to hinder anyone from knowing him. Let us walk in joyful obedience of knowing him and sharing his love.

Acts 9: Transformed and Set Free - July 5, 2020

As we continue into our series in the book of Acts, we come to an unexpected transformation of a man named Saul. When we first met Saul, he was overseeing the murder of Stephen. At the beginning of chapter nine , he's breathing murderous threats and rounding up followers of Jesus (with the approval of the high priests). Surely, he was an enemy of the early church.

This man is my chosen instrument  to proclaim my name to the Gentiles  and their kings  and to the people of Israel.   I will show him how much he must suffer for my name. ” - Acts 9:15-16 Saul has been chosen by God to be used by God because he's loved by God. He will share in the sufferings of Jesus as he preaches Jesus. God will not abandon Saul. He is Saul's God, and Saul is one of God's people. He's been changed. God wi

A Brief Update About Website Updates

Until this post, our website hadn't been updated in nearly a year.  We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope to post more videos from our sermons shortly. We are currently in a series in Philippians, and would love to explore that letter to an early church with you. On September 2, 2021, Pastor Jeff's wife passed away because of complications around leukemia and its treatment. The result was that the updates of this website were not as high of a priority until his schedule could become more consistent, and the timing worked better to dedicate time to updates. Thank you for your prayers and support, and we welcome you to visit us on Sunday mornings at 10:30am,  all year. If you have a prayer request or a question, click here , and we promise to get back to you.
