In Acts 5, we see what fueled the passion of the early church to take seriously their call to be witnesses of Jesus. Their boldness came from knowing what He had done, trusting the power of the Spirit, and surrendering fully to God’s will. This message calls us to remember the joy of the gospel and to share that good news wherever God has placed us.

Acts 4 gives us a powerful picture of courage under pressure. When Peter and John were arrested for proclaiming Jesus, they didn’t shrink back—they spoke with boldness because they had been with Him. This message reminds us that real confidence doesn’t come from our ability, but from the presence and power of Jesus in us.

Acts 3 tells the story of a man healed in the name of Jesus, showing the power, purpose, and presence of Christ still at work in the world. This message reminds us that to live in Jesus’ name means walking in His authority, reflecting His compassion, and pointing others to the hope only He can give.

In Acts 2, the church is born and thousands are added in a single day. It paints a picture of believers who gathered faithfully, prayed constantly, and lived with glad and sincere hearts. This message calls us to be a community rooted in Jesus and empowered by the Spirit, so that God can use our devotion to impact the world around us.

In Acts 2, the Spirit of God fills the disciples and launches the mission of the church. This message explores what happens when the Spirit moves—giving boldness, uniting people across barriers, and pointing everyone to Jesus. The same Spirit who moved at Pentecost is still at work in us today.

Witnesses don’t stand still—they stay on mission. In Acts 1, Jesus sends His disciples to bear witness to the resurrection, empowered by the Spirit and anchored in hope. This message challenges us to follow their example, living as faithful witnesses in a world desperate for good news.

What does it mean to be a Spirit-empowered witness for Jesus? Acts 1 shows us that the mission of the church is built on the resurrection of Jesus and sustained by the empowering presence of the Spirit. This message reminds us that the same Spirit who filled the first disciples is alive and at work in us today.

What does it look like to walk in the words, ways, and wisdom of Jesus? Luke 9 shows us that discipleship means being sent with God’s power, with a clear purpose, and with a heart for people. This message challenges us to move from simply believing in Jesus to actively joining Him in His mission.

Jesus calls His disciples to live in a way that feels upside down compared to the world—but it always leads to life. In Luke 6, He redefines the good life, teaches us to love even our enemies, and calls us to reflect the mercy of our Father. This message reminds us that discipleship isn’t about performing for God, but about being transformed by His Spirit into people who look more and more like Jesus.

What does it look like to truly walk in the ways, words, and wisdom of Jesus? Luke 6 challenges us to embrace a different view of the good life, to love when it makes no sense, and to reflect the mercy of our Father. Discipleship is not just about agreeing with Jesus but about becoming like Him.

Discipleship is about following Jesus with a submitted, teachable, and committed heart. In Luke 5, we see Jesus call ordinary people into His mission. This message invites us to consider how we will respond to His call—whether with admiration from a distance or by stepping out in faith to follow.

Discipleship starts with a question: will we follow Jesus in every part of life? In Luke 4, Jesus chooses worship over power, truth over comfort, and obedience over self-interest. This message challenges us to ask: what am I really building my life on—and is it shaping me to look more like Him?

Faithfulness isn’t just how we start—it’s how we finish. Psalm 71 reminds us that from youth to old age, we’re called to proclaim God’s power and goodness. Even in seasons of weakness, God invites us to keep trusting, keep speaking, and keep living with purpose.

Praise and petition often go hand in hand. Psalm 66 reminds us that when we worship God for who He is and what He’s done, it not only changes us—it impacts those around us. Our praise can become a powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness through every season.

What do you do when you’ve messed up—really messed up? Psalm 51 shows us a path not of shame, but of honest confession, grace, and transformation. In this message, we explore how King David’s prayer after moral failure invites us to come clean before God, trust in His mercy, and walk forward renewed. True repentance doesn’t hide from God—it runs to Him.

We all leave something behind—but what kind of legacy are we really building? Psalm 49 challenges us to see beyond worldly success and temporary riches, reminding us that lasting value is found not in what we own but in who we belong to. In this message, we explore what it means to live with eternal perspective, resist comparison, and trust God as the only one who can redeem our lives. The only legacy that lasts is one rooted in intimacy with Him.

In seasons of discouragement or spiritual dryness, our souls may feel downcast—but that doesn’t mean God has changed. Psalm 42–43 invites us to be honest with our pain, remember God’s past faithfulness, and keep seeking Him even when the answers feel delayed. This message reminds us that a longing for God can become a determined faith in Him. When we praise before we see the change, we root our hope in who God is—not just what we want Him to do.

Forgiveness isn’t optional—it’s who we are in Christ. Just as we’ve been forgiven, we’re called to release others from their offenses and walk in love toward them. This message looks at the power of forgiveness, how to release the weight of offense, and how God’s redemptive purpose transforms even the deepest wounds. In Jesus, we find freedom to forgive and courage to love.
