Acts | The Spirit of Acts | January 23

Sermon by Jake Blair on January 23, 2022.

In Jesus’ parting words to His disciples, He doesn’t tell them to get out there, He tells them to wait… to wait on the Spirit. It’s as though the Spirit is the essential ingredient to everything He’s sending them out to do and be.

And the truth is, that it is still true today. In this sermon, we’ll learn that the church has not moved beyond the need for the Holy Spirit.

Acts | The Mission of Acts | January 9

Sermon by Adam Gibson on January 9, 2022.

The Holy Spirit is God within us and the one who empowers our mission. He is the secret sauce, for lack of a better way of saying it, for everything that we want to see happen in our city. If He doesn’t do it, it doesn’t happen. We want to see people saved, healed, brought from death to life… if that’s going to be a thing, we need him.

For Our Good Always | You Shall Not Covet | November 14

Sermon by Jake Blair on November 14, 2021.

The call was to therefore curb your desires in such a way to find your provision in God alone. But as you will see, in our culture we don’t really have a category for this.
