Strengthened to Prosper — Stephen De Silva

In the second part of his message, author and speaker Stephen De Silva shares a biblical and Hebraic perspective on financial well-being. Instead of just focusing on tactics or even strategy, Stephen shares a bigger picture in which identity, purpose and vision take their rightful place. 

The Lidless Blender — Stephen De Silva

The Power of Being with Jesus

Pastor Susan Fochler shares from Acts 4:1-13 how Peter and John, although they were "unschooled, ordinary men," astonished the elders and teachers of the law with their courage, who consequently "took note that these men had been with Jesus." Susan  encourages us to realize that as we spend time with Jesus, we too will be changed in ways draw others' attention to Jesus living inside of us! 

Activating the Gift of Healing — Brent Lokker

True Community — Brent Lokker

Pastor Brent Lokker highlights the defining characteristics of the fellowship of believers as described in Acts 2:42-47 and Acts 4:32-37. Rather than treat these ideas as confined to the first century, Pastor Brent demonstrates that breaking of bread, praying for one another and taking care of each other's practical needs remain as defining marks of Holy Spirit-inspired communities today.  Given May 18, 2019.  See the slides here.

Prophetic Ministry that flows out of Acts 2:17

Pastor Joel Pollard shares the biblical basis of contemporary Prophetic Ministry from the outpouring of the Spirit on "all flesh" (everybody) in Acts 2:17. He expands on this with real-life examples of how such prophetic words can effectively call out the treasures hidden in our lives and propel us towards our personal calling and destiny.

An Invitation to Awesome Worship!

Pastor Todd Lout brings us a two part message on worship. In the first segment he explains the meanings of Hebrew words that describe various postures in worship. In the second segment, Pastor Todd paints a vivid picture of how worship looked in the early church as described in Acts 2:42-47. With this in mind, Pastor Todd invites us to recapture the awe, wonder and zeal that that made the first fellowship of Christian believers so attractive that "the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."

Resurrection Celebration

Pastor Brent Lokker demonstrates the reality of Jesus' resurrection through the testimony of scripture and the testimony of human lives rescued by that same dunamis power!

The Holy Spirit Reveals Jesus

Pastor Russ Fochler delves further into the purpose and meaning of the outpouring of God’s Spirit in Acts 2. A significant part of that purpose was to allow Jesus’ Ekklesia to bring His realm, His answers to a hurting world. But this is not a formula or a method, since the the keys to Heaven’s Realm only come through our relational access to the mind of Jesus about the situations and people Father God desires to help.  This relational access is empowered by Holy Spirit being in us and upon us!

Filled for a Purpose

Pastor Brent Lokker focuses this week on Peter's first sermon where he explains the significance of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the effects of which were amazing and perplexing to those who witnessed it (Acts 2:12). The availability of the Holy Spirit in these last days is part of God's plan to reach the whole world, and is not something to be confined to the four walls of a church building, nor kept hidden in the secret lives of select believers. "And it will come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh…" (Acts 2:17a)
