In this study, Pastor Kevin walks us through Acts 10–12, unpacking the groundbreaking moment when the Gospel crossed cultural and ethnic lines, extending God's grace to the Gentiles. Through Peter's vision and his divine appointment with Cornelius, we see how God is orchestrating both sides of the story—preparing hearts, breaking barriers, and confirming His love for all people.
The session dives into the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Gentile believers, highlighting the truth that God shows no favoritism—whoever calls on His name shall be saved. We also explore themes of supernatural deliverance as Peter is miraculously freed from prison, and the sobering reality that not all prayers are answered the same way—like James' martyrdom.
As always, Pastor Kevin weaves in personal stories, deep truths, and thoughtful questions that challenge us to trust God's justice, even when life feels unfair. This week’s study is a rich reminder that salvation transforms not only our eternity but also the way we see and love others—without prejudice, without boundaries.
Three Main Takeaways:
God Is No Respecter of Persons
The Gospel is for everyone—Jew, Gentile, rich, poor, black, white. Peter's vision and the salvation of Cornelius' household affirm that God's love is available to whoever believes, regardless of background or status.
Salvation Brings Transformation
True salvation doesn't just change your eternity—it changes your heart. It produces love, even for those you once hated. Pastor Kevin shared powerful testimonies of how God's saving grace leads to reconciliation, forgiveness, and radical love.
God Is Just, Even When Life Feels Unfair
From James’ martyrdom to Peter’s miraculous release, we're reminded that God’s ways are higher than ours. Life may not seem fair, but God's justice, goodness, and faithfulness can always be trusted—even in what we don't understand.
In this message we walk through the familiar parable of the sower and discover what it means to be a “hope dealer” for the Kingdom of God. We’ll learn how to:
identify the kind of soil we’re working with (the condition of a person’s heart)
prepare the soil by building relationship, listening, clearing away obstacles
plant the seed of Jesus by sharing our story, stepping into the moment when the soil is ready
Whether you’ve been sharing your faith for years or are just wondering how to begin — this message will give you practical steps to live out your faith in everyday life.
We explore how hope begins in us, and what it looks like when it overflows into the lives of those around us. Join us as we step into being hope dealers—people whose lives reflect joy, peace, and abundance of hope.
In this week’s Bible study, Pastor Kevin walks us through the incredible conversion of Saul — the man who once hunted Christians, yet became one of the greatest missionaries in history. From the power of God’s voice in Acts 9 to the freedom we find in Christ through grace, this study reminds us that no one is too far gone and that God’s plans are always bigger than our understanding.
Along the way, Pastor Kevin unpacks powerful truths about waiting on the Lord, the inclusion of the Gentiles, and the freedom believers have through Jesus. This conversation is full of encouragement, laughter, and real-life wisdom about trusting God’s timing and letting His Spirit lead.
3 Main Takeaways:
God Doesn’t Need Our Help — Just Our Trust.
Pastor Kevin reminded us that God doesn’t need us to fight His battles or fix His plans. He’s powerful enough to raise up kings, tear down walls, and move mountains. Our job is to wait, trust, and obey — even when it’s not easy.
No One Is Beyond Redemption.
Saul’s transformation into Paul shows that God can take the most broken, violent, or lost person and turn them into a vessel of grace. If He can save Saul, He can save anyone.
Jesus Fulfilled It All — We Live in Freedom.
Through Peter’s vision and Paul’s teaching, we see that Jesus fulfilled the law. We don’t serve out of obligation anymore — we serve out of love. We get to give, worship, and live holy because His Spirit leads us.
Pastor Kevin walks us through Acts 8 and explores not only the remarkable salvation of Simon the former sorcerer, but also the subtle and dangerous grip of bitterness in the life of a believer.
Through real-life examples and Scripture, Pastor Kevin reveals how bitterness is often rooted in unresolved hurt, unmet expectations, or disappointment—and how it can poison our perspective if left unchecked. You'll also hear about the miraculous salvation and baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch, the obedience of Philip, and the importance of the Holy Spirit's role in the believer’s life.
We also begin to look at the conversion of Saul, setting the stage for one of the most radical transformations in Scripture.
Whether you’re navigating personal hurt, struggling with forgiveness, or just hungry to see God’s Word come alive, this episode offers clarity, challenge, and hope.
3 Key Takeaways:
Bitterness is a Choice, Not a Destiny.
Bitterness often starts as a seed from a wound or disappointment, but it only grows when we choose to feed it. Forgiveness—toward others, ourselves, and even our misconceptions about God—is key to freedom.
God Can Use Your Obedience in the Middle of Nowhere.
Philip left a full-blown revival to obey God in the desert, leading to the salvation of a single Ethiopian man. Your simple "yes" to God can have eternal ripple effects beyond what you can see.
Your Past Doesn't Disqualify You from a Powerful Future.
Simon the sorcerer, the Ethiopian eunuch, and even Saul (who persecuted Christians) are all examples of how no one is too far gone for God to redeem, restore, and use in extraordinary ways.
In this message, we explore how Jesus is still in the business of healing today. We walk through healing stories from Mark (the woman with the issue of blood, Jairus’ daughter), and then examine four areas in which Jesus brings healing:
Soul (for sin, shame, guilt)
Heart (for brokenness, crushed spirit)
Mind (renewing thought, sound mind)
Body (physical healing)
You’ll also hear a testimony from one of our church family members about how Jesus has healed over time, from inside out.
We invite you to step toward God today—for healing, for wholeness, for hope.

Pastor Kevin continues the study through the Book of Acts with a deep dive into the life and legacy of Stephen—the first martyr of the early Church. As the Church begins to grow, we see rising opposition, persecution, and a dramatic clash between spiritual light and darkness. Pastor Kevin unpacks Stephen’s unwavering faith, the supernatural power at work in the early believers, and how these themes still speak to our lives today. He also challenges us to reflect on forgiveness, spiritual warfare, and the cost of following Jesus in a world often hostile to truth. This episode is a compelling reminder that the spiritual world is real, and God's power is greater than anything we face.
🔑 Three Main Takeaway Points:
Stephen’s Boldness and Martyrdom Teach Us the Cost of True Faith
Stephen, though not an apostle, was full of the Holy Spirit and used by God to perform miracles and boldly preach truth. His fearless stand cost him his life, yet Jesus stood to honor him—a powerful picture of what it means to be faithful, even unto death.
The Gospel Always Confronts Darkness—But God’s Power is Greater
From persecution in the early church to spiritual warfare today, there is a constant clash between light and darkness. The story of Simon the Sorcerer and Philip’s ministry in Samaria shows us that God’s power is not only real—it’s superior to every dark force.
Forgiveness is Required, Even When It Hurts
Just as Stephen and Jesus prayed forgiveness over their killers, believers today are called to do the same—even when deeply wronged. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or excusing sin, but releasing bitterness and trusting God's perfect justice.
Today, Pastor Josh preaches from John 9 and calls us to move past focusing on what we don’t know about Jesus — and instead anchor ourselves in what we do know. He shares how the blind man’s simple declaration, “I was blind, and now I see,” becomes a powerful foundation for faith. Then he transitions into “I Know This: He Saved Me,” teaching the three things that salvation means: He saved us from something, into something, and for something.
In this week’s Bible study, Pastor Kevin dives into Acts chapter 4, building on the miraculous healing in Acts 3. We examine the powerful fallout from Peter and John’s healing of the lame man, the explosive growth of the early church, and the rising tension with the religious leaders—especially the Sadducees. Pastor Kevin unpacks what it means to stand boldly in the face of opposition, the spiritual blindness that comes from hardened hearts, and the sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira as a warning against spiritual deception.
You'll also hear compelling illustrations on how unbelief can take root, the danger of tolerating even small lies, and how God’s power moves when His people pray in unity. From Peter’s bold preaching to the shaking of the meeting place, this study challenges us to walk in truth, faith, and the fear of the Lord.
Three Main Takeaways:
Bold Faith in the Face of Opposition
Peter and John’s response to persecution highlights the power of the Holy Spirit to speak through us—even when we’re unprepared. Their courage reminds us that boldness in our faith often invites resistance, but God is always faithful to confirm His word with power.
Unbelief Is Spiritual Blindness, Not Just Doubt
The Sadducees and others witnessed undeniable miracles—yet still rejected the truth. Pastor Kevin emphasized that hardened hearts can render people unable—not just unwilling—to believe. Unbelief is not merely an intellectual issue; it’s spiritual blindness.
Lying Is No Small Sin in God’s Eyes
The tragic story of Ananias and Sapphira is a stark warning about deceit in the church. Pastor Kevin reminded us that lying originates from Satan, and God takes it seriously—even lies that seem small or harmless. “Put away lying” was the challenge for all believers.
In this message, Pastor Mike Benson speaks about Renewed Passion — what it looks like, how it fades, and what God wants us to do to regain it. Drawing from Revelation 2:1‑7, he points out how the church at Ephesus was strong in many ways (dedicated, doctrinally sound, durable), yet had left their first love.
You’ll hear three instructions from Jesus on how to recover lost passion: Remember, Repent, and Return. If you’ve ever felt distant, lukewarm, or unsure in your walk with God — especially if “doing” for Him has replaced “being” with Him — this sermon is especially for you.
In tonight's study, Pastor Kevin walks through Acts chapters 2 to 4, unpacking the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the explosive growth of the early church, and the unwavering commitment of the apostles to the doctrine of Christ. With over 3,000 souls saved in a single day, the Church begins to take shape — not through comfort, but through conviction, obedience, and sacrificial unity.
Three Main Takeaways
Doctrine is Foundational, Not Optional
The early church “continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine,” which was rooted in Jesus' teachings. Pastor Kevin emphasized that doctrine is simply what we believe—and what we believe shapes how we live. Knowing the Bible is essential to knowing God and walking in truth.
The Power of Pentecost Reveals God's Plan for All Believers
The events of Acts 2 — the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, 3,000 salvations, and the alignment with Old Testament feasts — were not random. They were part of God’s divine plan. Just as the law was given on Mount Sinai and 3,000 died, the Spirit was given at Pentecost and 3,000 were saved, demonstrating the contrast between the law and grace.
Obedience to God May Require Civil Disobedience
When the apostles were commanded not to preach in Jesus' name, they boldly responded, “We must obey God rather than men.” Pastor Kevin challenged listeners to reflect on moments in modern society — from business ethics to government mandates — where believers may have to stand firm in biblical convictions even when it's costly.
When generosity becomes part of your discipleship, it transforms everything — your time, your talent, and your treasure. In this message, Pastor Josh challenges us to live generously, breaking free from greed, fueling God’s mission, and turning burdens into blessings. Whether it’s serving on a crew, sharing your story, tithing, or investing in our community project, God calls us all hands on deck to participate.

In this week’s study, Pastor Kevin discusses Acts chapter 2, diving deep into the moment the Holy Spirit was poured out on the early church during the Feast of Pentecost. We explore the significance of this event, the prophetic parallels between the Old and New Testaments, and why Pentecost was the appointed time for this divine outpouring. Pastor Kevin also tackles common questions about the gift of tongues, the role of spiritual gifts today, and the importance of biblical order in their operation. This study is rich in history, theology, and practical insight—and might just change how you view the Holy Spirit's role in your life.
Key Takeaways:
The Law Brought Death, But the Spirit Brings Life:
On the original Pentecost, 3,000 people died after receiving the law (Exodus 32), but in Acts 2, 3,000 people were saved when the Holy Spirit was given. This stunning contrast reveals how the New Covenant through Jesus brings grace, life, and spiritual empowerment.
The Holy Spirit Empowers Believers for Today:
Tongues and spiritual gifts were not limited to the early church. Pastor Kevin showed through Scripture that these gifts are still active and needed, providing personal edification and corporate encouragement when used in biblical order.
Pentecost Was Purposefully Timed:
God chose the Feast of Pentecost—a Jewish harvest festival—to pour out His Spirit, symbolizing a spiritual harvest where all are welcome. Even the loaves baked with leaven presented at this feast foreshadowed that imperfect, sinful people (like us) could be filled with the Spirit and used by God.
Discover what it means to lean into your purpose—and who God places around you to help carry the load. In this sermon, Christian unpacks Exodus 17 and Acts 2 with a powerful message: "Homies on the Hill." When you're weary and overwhelmed, it’s not just obedience—it’s community that gives you strength.

In this powerful opening message on the Book of Acts, we explore what it means to be baptized with the Holy Spirit, the difference between receiving the Spirit at salvation and being empowered by the Spirit for ministry, and how the Holy Spirit leads believers into supernatural living. Pastor Kevin also unpacks the significance of Jesus' return to the Mount of Olives and highlights the importance of being Spirit-led in our daily lives.
3 Main Takeaway Points
1. Acts Is Not Over — We’re Living It Now.
Pastor Kevin emphasizes that the Book of Acts is the only New Testament book without a formal conclusion. Why? Because it’s still ongoing—through the lives of believers today. Jesus began the work, and He handed it off to His Church—to us—to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth.
2. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit Is Distinct from Salvation.
While the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer at salvation, Pastor Kevin teaches that the baptism or filling of the Holy Spirit is a separate and empowering experience for service, boldness, and supernatural ministry. It’s not a one-time event but a continual filling for ongoing work.
3. The Holy Spirit Speaks and Leads Us Today.
From Philip and Peter in the Book of Acts to personal stories of deliverance and healing today, we see that the Holy Spirit is still guiding, warning, empowering, and using believers. Pastor Kevin challenges us to be sensitive to the Spirit’s leading and not be afraid to step out in obedience.
In this powerful message, Pastor Josh breaks down the heart of worship—not as a feeling or song preference, but as a life of surrender, sacrifice, and response to God's goodness. Using Romans 12:1, he reminds us that worship is more than emotion—it's offering our lives as a living sacrifice.
Packed with powerful testimonies, spontaneous joy (even an impromptu wedding!), and a challenge to get uncomfortable for God, this message invites us to worship in a deeper way.

In this powerful conclusion to our series on Finding Jesus in the Pages of the Old Testament, Pastor Kevin walks us through the astonishing connections between Old Testament prophecies, types, and shadows—and their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. From the tabernacle and temple to the life of Joseph, we see vivid parallels that reveal Christ in remarkable detail. Pastor Kevin also highlights dozens of prophecies—some given hundreds of years before Jesus’ birth—that were fulfilled exactly in His life, death, and resurrection, strengthening our confidence that He truly is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.
✨ Three Main Takeaways:
Christ is everywhere in the Old Testament – From the structure of the tabernacle to the story of Joseph, the Scriptures consistently point to Jesus as God’s redemptive plan revealed in advance.
Prophecy confirms Jesus’ identity – Between 300–400 Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus’ lifetime, with exact details like His birthplace, betrayal price, and method of death—leaving no doubt that He is the promised Messiah.
Knowing the Old Testament protects against deception – Understanding prophecy and the patterns of Scripture equips us to recognize God’s truth and avoid being misled, just as the disciples’ eyes were opened when Jesus explained the Scriptures to them.
