Continuing in Acts, chapter 16, Paul and Silas respond to suffering in a remarkable way—not with despair, but with prayer and worship. Before the prison doors ever opened, God was already doing a miracle in their hearts, and their faithfulness became the doorway for the jailer and his entire household to encounter Jesus. This message reminds us that redemption and restoration are more important than relief, and that God wastes nothing we surrender to Him.

In Acts 16, Paul and Silas experience severe persecution after an act of mercy and obedience leads to their arrest, beating, and imprisonment. Their story reminds us that following Jesus doesn’t mean avoiding hardship — in fact, persecution can come because we are faithfully doing what is right. Yet even in suffering, God can deepen our connection with Jesus, strengthen our faith, and open doors for greater ministry as we choose to follow Him no matter the cost.

Acts 15 tackles a major challenge in the early church: how Jewish and Gentile believers could become one family without adding requirements to the gospel of grace. Through the Jerusalem Council, we’re reminded that salvation comes by grace through faith alone—but spiritual maturity calls us to something more: willingly laying down our freedoms for the sake of others and living lives of purity that reflect Jesus. As followers of Christ, we’re called to pursue both unity within the church and a distinct, faithful witness to the world.

Paul and Barnabas had a sharp disagreement over John Mark that ultimately sent them in two different directions—but they continued pursuing the same mission. Their story reminds us that conflict, disappointment, our past, or the opinions of others don’t have to derail God’s calling on our lives. Rather than becoming consumed with results or comparison, we can remain focused on who God created us to be and faithfully continue the work He has given us.

This Sunday, we welcomed Paul Bartles, our ONE% Men's Ministry leader to share a word with us.

This Sunday, we spent an entire morning remembering what God has done, and celebrating what he is and is going to do in our lives.

None of Jesus’s followers get an “out” on the Great Commission, but it can be hard to share the truth freely with others.

This Sunday Pastor Susan May shares with us from Acts chapter 3 and reminds us how we can take advantage of opportunities that God places before us to share the Good News.

In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas experience everything from enthusiastic praise to violent rejection as they continue sharing the gospel. Through it all, they refuse to take credit for what God accomplishes through them, reminding us that we are simply “jars of clay” carrying His power. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to live with bold faith and genuine humility—always remembering that Jesus is the point, and the glory belongs to Him.

In Acts 13, Paul boldly proclaims that no one can be made right with God by keeping the law—salvation is a gift of grace received through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim shows us why this message brought incredible joy to the Gentiles, fierce opposition from many Jews, and why the same challenge still confronts us today: Are we resting in God's grace, or trying to earn His approval through our own efforts?
