This Good Friday, we're airing a special re-watch of last year's service.  Join us as in somber reflection as we look back at what was given to us when Christ laid His life down on the cross.

Acts of the Apostles: The Eunuch

The Book of Acts tells an amazing story - it tells the story of how God began the movement known as The Church. And it tells the story of all the amazing things that God, by His Spirit, did through this movement as His people committed to following Jesus together and to reclaiming God’s vision for the world, even as they faced some extraordinary challenges together.

In today's message, which originally aired on April 10, 2022, Jeff digs into Acts 8:26-40.  Sometimes we complicate baptism and assume we need to be perfect in order to get in the water. So what can we learn about this from the story of the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8?

Acts of the Apostles: Simon the Sorcerer

The Book of Acts tells an amazing story - it tells the story of how God began the movement known as The Church. And it tells the story of all the amazing things that God, by His Spirit, did through this movement as His people committed to following Jesus together and to reclaiming God’s vision for the world, even as they faced some extraordinary challenges together.

In today's message, which originally aired on April 3, 2022, Jeff digs into Acts 8:4-25.  Sometimes people want to experience God for the wrong reasons. Case in point: Simon the Sorcerer. What can we learn about the story of Simon here today?

Acts of the Apostles: Stephen

The Book of Acts tells an amazing story - it tells the story of how God began the movement known as The Church. And it tells the story of all the amazing things that God, by His Spirit, did through this movement as His people committed to following Jesus together and to reclaiming God’s vision for the world, even as they faced some extraordinary challenges together.

In today's message, which originally aired on March 27, 2022, Jeff digs into Acts 6:8-15, and Acts 7:1-60. Stephen was the first martyr in the church. What can we learn from his life and boldness as we follow Jesus today?

Acts of the Apostles: Getting Organized

The Book of Acts tells an amazing story - it tells the story of how God began the movement known as The Church. And it tells the story of all the amazing things that God, by His Spirit, did through this movement as His people committed to following Jesus together and to reclaiming God’s vision for the world, even as they faced some extraordinary challenges together.

In today's message, Jeff digs into Acts 6:1-7. A lot of people have problems with “organized religion” and the “institutional church”. And yet even the early church eventually had to organize itself and build some structures around it. Why is this important? What does this mean for us today?

Acts of the Apostles: Worthy to Suffer Disgrace

The Book of Acts tells an amazing story - it tells the story of how God began the movement known as The Church. And it tells the story of all the amazing things that God, by His Spirit, did through this movement as His people committed to following Jesus together and to reclaiming God’s vision for the world, even as they faced some extraordinary challenges together.

In today's message, which originally aired on March 6, 2022, Jeff digs into Acts 5:17-42. The early church faced fierce opposition and persecution but treated it as a badge of honour. What does this show us about following Jesus today? Watch now to find out!

Acts of the Apostles: Drop Dead

Today's message come from Acts 5:1-11.  Ananias and Sapphira lie before the Holy Spirit and then drop dead. Yikes! What’s this story all about? What does it mean for us today?

Acts of the Apostles: Testify

The early church’s lifestyle testified to the risen Christ. How? How can we live the same kind of lives today? This morning's message comes from Acts 4:32-35.
