As we said last week, one way we can know we’ve truly been walking with Jesus is we’ll start to look more and more like him. We’ll look like the one we’ve been looking at. Stephen here looks like Jesus, not just in the way he serves and suffers, but...द्वारा Nick Weber

One way we can know we’ve truly been walking with Jesus is we’ll start to look more and more like him. We’ll look like the one we’ve been looking at. We’ll become like the one we’ve been beholding. As we spend time with Jesus, we’re renewed into...द्वारा Nick Weber

While acknowledging the wrongs done in the name of Christianity throughout history, we cannot deny the ways our world – even today – has been positively shaped by the Christian faith.द्वारा Joey Wang

Jesus’ resurrection unleashes God’s new creation! Do you feel tired of the same old, same old? Christ has come to make all things new!द्वारा Nick Weber

As God has reconciled us to Him through Christ Jesus, He has also commissioned us to be His ambassadors in His mission of reconciliation.द्वारा Joey Wang

There’s grumbling in the camp. This early church is threatening to fracture and divide from the start. The way they respond here makes all the difference. As we consider their response, we learn what a healthy church looks like, how a healthy...द्वारा Nick Weber

We’re all regularly faced with decisions we have to make and forks in the road we have to navigate. Everyone seems to have an opinion as to what we should do and where we should go. But how, in the midst of this noise, do we ever begin to discern...द्वारा Nick Weber

As people created and renewed in the image of God, we are called to love one another in community through our words, hands, and hearts—as Christ has loved and forgiven us.द्वारा Joey Wang

We often think of work as a “four-letter word.” It’s more of a burden than a blessing. It’s a “necessary evil.” We spend much of our lives doing it hoping only to someday be done with it. But God views our work differently. He created it, before...द्वारा Bob Durstenfeld

The apostles in our text are not just rejoicing in spite of their suffering. They’re actually rejoicing in light of it. But how? Why? Are they crazy? Or do they know something we don’t? What if we could have joy like this: a joy that can’t be...द्वारा Nick Weber

We’re all chasing after joy, but few of us ever really find it, at least in a lasting way. But that’s what Jesus offers! For the Christian, God is both in control and up to good in their lives, however hard things may get at times. And because of...द्वारा Nick Weber

We follow what we fear. The Christian is a journey of growing faith & fear in God – above and beyond our other fears.द्वारा Joey Wang

Our lives play out in the shadow of death. It’s ironic. And tragic. We all want to be free from its sway. We all want to come out from under its dark cloud. Light is breaking in Jesus at the cross. There is life to be had. There is joy...द्वारा Nick Weber

We are called to praise the Lord at all times, in all places. But do we know why? What is it that makes such praise not only possible, but reasonable, even natural?द्वारा Nick Weber

We likely know the promise of the virgin birth, but do we know the context in which this promise was made? When Isaiah 7:14 is seen in its broader biblical context, we realize at once that it’s more than just a fantastic miracle. It is, above all...द्वारा Nick Weber

How do we get right with a holy God when we know that we’ve deeply wronged him? We must get honest with him about our worst sins, knowing that when we repent, Jesus is ready and eager to wash us clean and restore us back to him again. It’s not too...द्वारा Joseph DAngelo

Hebrews 10a

Hebrews 9b

God intends for this incident with Ananias and Sapphira to awaken us to the reality of his holiness, the wretchedness of our sin, and the beauty of the cross. He brings us back to sanity in the fear of the Lord as we remember again that he is God and...द्वारा Nick Weber

The story of Ananias and Sapphira is a bit frightening. There’s no getting around that. But when we really settle in with the text, we find it has much to teach us. For one thing, we learn that the church, even at the beginning, was not perfect...द्वारा Nick Weber

One of the marks of a healthy Christian is our joy in Christ and our thanksgiving to the Lord. This (internal) joy is reflected (externally) in our generosity as God’s people and our witness to the world!द्वारा Joey Wang

Money. It often gets ahold of us. Or, perhaps, better put: we often get ahold of it . . . and then refuse to let it go. But these early Christians, to our surprise, they are wildly generous. They have no problem releasing their wealth for the...द्वारा Nick Weber

Prayer can often be confusing. We don’t know how to do it or even where to start. This is especially the case when we’ve run on hard times. But these early Christians can show us the way! We can summarize their prayer here with the acronym A-S-K...द्वारा Nick Weber

Peter and John don’t buckle under opposition and adversity. They would rather please God than men. But how is such a Christian made? Where does this kind of “boldness” come from? And how can we grow in the same?द्वारा Nick Weber

We as the church (i.e. Christians) are called to faithful obedience by being faithfully present -- despite significant inconvenience(s) -- as faithful witness of God's glory!द्वारा Joey Wang

The Christian life is a continual renewed commitment to Jesus, which flows from a conviction and confession of who He is.द्वारा Joey Wang

Christians make exclusive truth claims when it comes to Jesus and the way of salvation. But this exclusivity that’s baked into the Christian faith should in no way make us arrogant or oppressive towards those outside. Quite the opposite. It makes...द्वारा Nick Weber

When we’re living against the grain of the universe and out of alignment with God’s world, we will inevitably keep butting up against evidence and experiences that don’t fit within our paradigm or worldview. We’ll continue to be confronted by...द्वारा Nick Weber

To love God and neighbor in the name of Jesus is to throw yourself open to all manner of risk and danger. When you open your heart, or your home, or your hand, or your mouth in love for God and others—you’re going to get hurt, you’re going to get...द्वारा Nick Weber

When we see God for who He truly is, we will not only feel conviction for our sins, but also be freed to confess our sins.द्वारा Joey Wang

Peter uses the miracle of this lame man healed in the name of Jesus as a launchpad to preach the good news of Jesus. The miracle and the message always go together. Jesus can heal the body, but he’s coming after the heart and soul!द्वारा Nick Weber
