Acts: The Invitation & Journey

April 12, 2026 - June 28, 2026

What if faith was never meant to be boring, but an adventure? The book of Acts is the story of ordinary people encountering an extraordinary God, and stepping into a life they never expected. It started with an invitation. To wait. To be filled. To trust God in a new way. And that invitation became an adventure; full of courage, purpose, and impact. And here’s the best part, that same invitation is still open to you. No matter where you’ve been
 or where you’re starting, there’s a place for you in the story. ACTS: The Invitation… and The Adventure.

Don’t just watch it…step into it.

Burn The Idols

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In Ephesus, believers encountered God's extraordinary power and responded by publicly burning valuable idols—sacrificing what they treasured most. This week, we're exploring what it looks like when faith costs something real.

Learn the Language

Many of us want to share our faith but feel stuck trying to figure out how to do it in our modern context. By looking at Paul's strategy at the Areopagus, we discover how to bridge cultural gaps using genuine respect, thoughtful observation, and deep relationships. Whether you are trying to reach your neighbors or trying to make sense of your own spiritual journey, this teaching offers practical tools to live out the culture of the Kingdom of God today.

Break Down Barriers

This week, we dive deep into Acts 10 to explore the paradigm-shifting story of Peter and Cornelius. Discover how the Holy Spirit smashes the cultural, racial, and spiritual barriers human beings spend centuries constructing, and learn why the biggest obstacle to God's mission is often the assumptions hidden inside our own hearts. It's time to stop building walls and start building bridges.

Step Out of the Margins

In this message, we explore the powerful encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch from Acts chapter 8. Discover what happens when an earnest seeker pursues God and a faithful believer steps out in immediate obedience to the Holy Spirit's whisper. Whether you are exploring faith or looking to deepen your relationship with Jesus, learn how to stay attentive to God's leading, cultivate quiet spaces for prayer, and cross cultural boundaries to share His love.

Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable

Is discomfort a sign that God has abandoned you, or is He actually repositioning you for something greater? This week, we look at Acts chapter 8 to show how the early church expanded not through comfort, but through disruption and persecution. When everyday believers were scattered, they didn't run in fear—they planted seeds of the gospel in uncomfortable places.

Learn how to reframe your trials, break out of your comfort zones, and choose spiritual surrender over cultural self-sufficiency. Plus, hear incredible local stories of impact through our Bibles and Backpacks initiative.

Suffer Well

When life gets hard, we often think something went wrong. But what if the New Testament treats suffering as a normal part of discipleship? In this message, we look at the life of Stephen in Acts 6-7 to learn how to move forward through pain, resist bitterness, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Discover how pressure cannot prevent the divine purpose God has for your life.

Cross the Line, Go All In

How does a growing community handle tension without falling apart? This week, we explore Acts 6 to show how the early church turned cultural conflict into a catalyst for exponential growth. Learn why Spirit-led organization is just as "spiritual" as prayer, and how living "open-handed" can transform your relationships and your purpose.

Say It Like It Is

What happens when ordinary people encounter an extraordinary God? In this teaching from Acts 4, we explore the story of Peter and John standing before the very council that crucified Jesus. Despite being "unschooled and ordinary," their boldness astonished those in power because it was clear they had been with Jesus.

Get Up & Walk

Have you become so familiar with brokenness that it feels normal? This week, we explore the powerful story of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate and the radical restoration offered through the name of Jesus.

We often sit at the gate of our lives expecting just enough to get by, but God invites us into a holistic healing that is physical, social, and spiritual. Discover what it means to carry the power of the Spirit into the ordinary rhythms of life and how to move from survival to transformation.

Seek a Higher Power

Are you tired of "boring" faith? In Week 2 of our series "Acts: The Invitation," Eric Bryant explores the powerful arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Discover how the Spirit empowers ordinary people for an extraordinary mission and why surrendering to God is the key to unlocking true spiritual power. Whether you are just starting your journey or looking to go deeper, learn how God uses our lives to catalyze a movement for good.

Wait on the Wind

Have you ever felt stuck like you’re ready to move forward but God keeps telling you to wait? In Acts 1, the disciples had the mission, the calling, and the urgency but Jesus told them to stay. To wait. Not to rush ahead, not to take control but to trust that something greater was coming. This message is for anyone in a waiting season. If you’ve been wondering why God hasn’t opened the door yet, why the answer hasn’t come, or why things feel delayed there’s purpose in it. God doesn’t make you wait to hold you back. He makes you wait to prepare you. Before the power came, there was a promise. Before the movement, there was a moment of surrender. Before the wind of God moved they waited.
