In his sermon, Logan explores the book of Acts and emphasizes that sharing faith is the primary way Jesus continues his work through his followers today. He challenges us to move beyond secular and religious motivations toward a gospel-centered witness rooted in genuine love and the truth of Christ’s sacrifice.

This sermon explores how the Holy Spirit empowered the early church to flourish through a commitment to prayer, compassion, and the ministry of the word. By examining the legacy of Stephen, we discover how spirit-driven faithfulness enables believers to trust in God’s sovereign purpose even in the face of rejection or failure.

Exploring the origins of the church in Acts 2, this sermon explains how the Christian faith rests on the historical reality of Jesus’ resurrection and a personal, heart-level encounter with the gospel message. It describes how this foundation creates a spirit-filled community characterized by radical generosity, devoted learning, and a commitment to sharing God’s love with the world.

Pastor Johnny explores the profound “aha moments” that occurred as the disciples realized the life and resurrection of Jesus were the fulfillment of ancient prophecy. By examining Peter’s bold message at Pentecost, we discover how Christ’s victory was God’s plan all along and how His grace invites us to move beyond our expectations into a new life of faith.

When Paul and Barnabas miraculously heal a lame man, the locals begin to worship them as Greek gods. Paul swiftly works to correct this, and Bishop Chris Warner shows how this applies to miracles and to idols today.

After Paul preaches the sermon in Pisidian Antioch, we get to see the incredible effect it has on Jews and Gentiles alike. Dean shows the great lengths Paul and Barnabas went to to give this sermon, and shows how we can have that same missionary impact today.

In this passage, we see Paul and Barnabas called to be missionaries to the Gentile Church. We see Paul preaching in the synagogue at Antioch in Galatia, and we learn about the importance of listening to God’s calling.

In Acts 9, we read about the conversion of Paul. Dean talks about the surrounding chapters, which include the conversions of the Roman Centurion Cornelius and the Ethiopian Eunuch, and how we can be like Ananias and Barnabas were to Paul.

On the 2nd Sunday of Easter, CCV begins a series using the Lectionary Year C readings, focusing on The Acts of the Apostles.

In Acts 5, Peter and the Apostles are arrested for preaching Jesus. But when the Angel of the Lord sets them free and calls them to preach the gospel in the Temple they are re-arrested. But Peter and the Apostles refuse to be silenced: “Should we obey God or men?” he asks. And what about us? What keeps us from proclaiming Jesus is the Christ? Fear. How do we live with same joyful in the face of suffering, love for enemies, boldness for Jesus that the Apostles did?

We continue to learn about our generous God through Acts 9. Dean walks through the four scenes of generosity through the Holy Spirit found in the story of the conversion of Saul.

Bp. John Guernsey shares about the remarkable diversity of the early church in Philippi. Through Paul in Acts 16, the gospel reaches rich and poor, slave and free, Jew and Gentile.
