Jesus returns to Jerusalem for a feast and heals a blind man by anointing his eyes with clay made from spit, then sending him to wash in the pool of Siloam. This miracle, done on the Sabbath, stirs the fury of the Pharisees, who interrogate the man and his family. In our sermon, we learn a lot about the responses that people often have to our decision to follow Christ. We also take a look at how we should approach our family when we so deeply desire to minister the gospel to them.

Why do you seek Jesus? In our story the multitudes venture to find Jesus, and when they discover him in Capernaum, Christ confronts them and reveals their true motives. What we find is that they were more interested in having their hunger satisfied than they were in having their souls satisfied. Join us as we ask ourselves hard questions about what motivates us to find Jesus? Do we desire to serve him or would we prefer he bless and serve us? 

After the large crowds and excitement, Jesus and his disciples are ready for a break. As Jesus retreats to the mountains to rest and pray, he sends his disciples across the sea of Galilee with the intention that they meet him in Bethsaida. As the disciples sail, they find themselves in a storm that has them afraid and fighting for their lives. In our greatest moments of trial and fear we often forget all the miracles that Christ has done; we forget that he sees, he hears and he knows.

Identifying ourselves as a Christian is one thing, but identifying ourselves with Christ’s mission is a whole other thing. If we are going to identify or reflect God’s heart for the lost world, it will require establishing patterns in our ministry. Paul sets an amazing example for us in Acts 14 as he provides us with a clear template for his ministry, a pattern of ministry that continues throughout the remainder of the book. Do you have a pattern for ministry? Does your personal life conform to the urgency of that work?

For all those who follow Christ and live his mission to share the gospel, we will face heartache. There will be rejection and often it will come from among those you considered your friends, your co-laborers. Why does this happen and how do we stand strong when we feel betrayed? Todays message tells a story of John Mark and how he left his friends high and dry on the shores of Perga.

We are studying the first missionary journey of Paul & Barnabas, learning from their faith and their works. In this sermon we find they have just arrived at Cyprus when their preaching is soon met with enemy resistance. What do we do when our gospel voice is met with voices of dissent? What does it mean to stand against the “wiles of the devil” when discouragement is often our natural response?

In this sermon, we continue looking at the beginning of the greatest missions movement the world has ever seen. We walk through how two men were separated for a unique work and how they dealt with resistance from the enemy. We also hear from Andrew Ong about how God worked in his life to separate him for the work of the pastorate and how God is in the process of sending him and his family abroad.

In this sermon, we see the beginning of the greatest missions movement the world has ever seen. It begins with one church, a small group of leaders and two men called by the Holy Spirit. We learn in this message what it means to be a missions-minded church as well as an individual prepared for God’s calling. The most exciting part of Acts begins with this message.

In this sermon we summarize our study in Acts up to this point. The goal of this message is to rediscover all the things we must know about our Christian purpose: PRAY, PREPARE, GIVE, GO - - reminding ourselves of exactly what it means for the college and young adult ministry to live in that example.

In this message, guest speaker Alex Allen reminds us what it means to find Joy in our salvation. 

The world is constantly seeking happiness, yet it fails time and time again. Pastor Chris Best breaks down Psalm 119, explaining the happiness believers can have through His Word.

In this final week of our study, we focus on how to trade the worship of our feelings and thoughts to find pleasure in knowing, feeling, and acting according to God’s heart.  

Jonah is often referred to as the “Missionary Prophet” and yet his thought life was so out of sync with God’s will that he rebels at every turn. In his best moments, he is reluctant and in his worst moments he is faithless, consumed by his emotions, obsessed with his circumstances, and full of fear. As a ministry of missions-minded young people, how do we avoid falling prey to a thought life that hinders fellowship with God and stunts fruitfulness in our lives?

In today’s message, we examine Ephesians 3 to learn the breadth, length, depth, and height of the love of Christ.

James Fyffe preaches the testimonies of Barnabas and Saul as a pattern of submission and service in the ministry. 

Many of us have a false narrative in our minds about what it means to be the child of God. Being a Christian does not guarantee us an easy life, in fact, it’s a warrant for suffering. In Acts 12 we find the apostle James murdered and we see Peter delivered from a prison cell. How does God deliver? Who does God deliver? Why does God deliver? How can we learn to trust him regardless?
