On Palm Sunday What Do You See?

3/24/2024
On Palm Sunday, the vision that Jesus had for the future was not what the people were looking for. We often have our own plan for God in our lives instead of submitting to Him and understanding what He sees for us.

GO! and Serve

3/17/2024
In Acts chapter 6 we discover how the early growing church responded to division and the powerful solution of a serve team. When we all embrace our unique roles in God’s kingdom, whether teaching, giving, encouraging, or serving; this will foster unity and empower the healthy growth of the church.

GO! With Reverence and Respect

3/10/2024
The Gospel transformed the lives of the early church! This message reveals tragedy and failure in their midst and how this continues to speak to us today. His grace surpasses our shortcomings, and continues to fulfill His plan, sustaining us in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Your Response in Turbulent Times

3/3/2024
In turbulent times, characterized by uncertainty and upheaval, it’s easy to succumb to fear and anxiety. However, as believers, we’re reminded not to be governed by fear but to trust in God’s sovereignty and providence. Rather than letting fear dictate our actions, we are called to lean on God’s strength, knowing that He is in control and will guide us through all seasons of life.

GO! The Going and Growing Church

2/25/2024
Acts chapter 5 underscores the importance of integrity, perseverance, and bold proclamation in the growth of the early Christian church. Like the apostles, we can persevere through opposition by relying on the strength of our faith, maintaining our commitment to the Word of God, and trusting in God’s faithfulness through all circumstances! Join us in this message from Pastor Jachin Mullen.

GO! In the Power of Prayer

2/18/2024
Prayer is an indispensable key to the effectiveness of the Church and vital to the spiritual health of individual believers. We see in Acts 4 how prayer continues to guide and sustain the ministry life of the early church. In Acts 4, the opposition “… ordered them not to preach or teach at all in the name of Jesus” (Acts 4:18) but they couldn’t “… stop speaking about what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20). Before we GO on God’s mission, we need to PRAY for God’s purpose, presence, and power.

GO! In Faith

2/11/2024
To GO where God is calling us to as a church and individually is going to require faith. God does not call us to GO where we don’t need Him to succeed. As the early church prepares to fulfill the Great Commission given by Jesus, we see the power of faith in the first miracle in the Book of Acts. Through this incredible example of the power of faith, we learn how we too can walk by faith and reach the place God has called us to GO.

GO! The Right Kind of Crazy

2/4/2024
The spiritual, the supernatural, the life of faith seems crazy to the world, to the natural. Not all crazy is spiritual, but all spiritual can seem crazy to the unspiritual. This weekend, we look forward to a powerful message from our guest speaker Pastor Christian Akerhielm about The Right Kind of Crazy.

GO! Connect With Others

1/28/2024
The early church understood in order to stay healthy and continue to reach out to the world around them, it was important to assemble in small groups. These meetings were more than just a gathering, rather it was an intentional assembling sharing spiritually and materially with each other.

GO! In the Power of the Spirit

1/21/2024
The power of the Holy Spirit is not an end in itself but only a means toward the end of making disciples. In this message Pastor Dave Koop shares about the power of the church, its message and SHAPE.

Duration:00:34:37

GO! The Name of Jesus

1/14/2024
Guest speaker Ake Carlson shares a message unveiling the great significance of The Name of Jesus. Names represent something and represent the person behind it. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, we see the Name of Christ being revealed to us and for us, so we can know Him personally and be full of His power to do His work!

GO! What Jesus Expects of His Church

1/7/2024
This year as a church we will delve into an exploration of the responsibilities and expectations that Jesus places upon His church as seen in the book of Acts. In the first chapter we will see the proofs, promise, priorities, program, prospect, and prayer that sets up the divine mandate to “GO!”.

God's Gift Must be Shared

12/31/2023
God is leading our church into a new chapter marked by a stronger emphasis on missions. As our church enters into its 30th year, we have reached a stage where God is compelling us to plant more churches, and to send more messengers into the mission field. The message of Christmas, God’s gift to us in His Son, must be shared and we can draw inspiration from the shepherds who, upon encountering the Christ-child, went on a mission to spread the Good News. “When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.” - Luke 2:17-18 NIV

Why Should We Celebrate Christmas?

12/25/2023
Christmas itself has now far outstripped Easter in popular culture as the real celebratory center of the Christian year–a move that completely reverses the New Testament emphasis. We sometimes try, in hymns, prayers, and sermons, to build a whole theology on Christmas, but it can’t in fact sustain such a thing. Easter, however, should be the center. Take that away and there is, almost literally, nothing left.

Christmas is about Light

12/24/2023
Christmas is about the light coming to earth. In the Gospel of John, we find the beautiful proclamation that encapsulates the essence of Christmas: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it”. - John 1:5, ESV

Receiving the Gift of Christmas

12/24/2023
For a gift to be complete it must be received. Christmas is all about God extending His gift to us. As Christians, Christmas is more than a nostalgic feeling, it is a time to reflect deeply on what God truly gave us.

Responding with Worship

12/17/2023
Exploring the account of the Wise Men in Matthew chapter two, we discover an enduring lesson that speaks directly to all of us on how we too can respond to the extraordinary gift of God sending His Son.

Home Sweet Home: The Greatest Gift of All

12/10/2023
Christmas is a huge celebration in our homes as we gather with loved ones, especially if it includes the sounds of children! God designed home and although not perfect, they are a gift from God.

The Power of an Apostolic Church

12/3/2023
We are living in a time where there is a thick darkness on the earth and yet a thick powerful glory of the church. We are moving into biblical times and must be ready for it. Though, we do not know how long this time will take, we understand that the world is changing at a high speed and we see signs of what the Bible describes as the end time and restoration of the Church.

The Power of a Gift

11/26/2023
The power of a gift is simple; it is LOVE. We are wired for love. Because LOVE is the most powerful force in the universe, a gift has the possibility to transport this power into the lives of those around us. God demonstrated the power of a gift when He gave the greatest gift of all times.
