Sermon Synopsis for June 1-2, 2024
The Church needs to demonstrate a robust missiology and a rudimentary understanding of government to be effective in a divided democracy. When the church is faithfully present to King Jesus, worshipping God in all spheres of life, it becomes the most missionally effective in the world.

The Call To Duty | Matthew 28:18-20 | Vince Taylor

There is a duty that every believer is called to. This duty is to live a godly life and share the Good News of the Gospel with neighbors and nations. We are given the commandment by Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20 to ”Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Life is the stage for our faith to be on display. An onslaught of challenging elements along the journey of life will need to be faced. Preparation is needed to respond, react, and navigate these elements as we demonstrate and display our faith and give glory to God.

Acts 23-26 | Paul: A Beacon of Faith, Justice, and Love on Trial

Sermon Synopsis - May 4-5, 2024
Paul was on trial because of his faith in Jesus Christ. Throughout the trials, Paul demonstrated a life of faith that lived out true justice, leading the world toward being a better, more functional and more flourishing place. In contrast with his Jewish accusers, Paul's message was all about love, forgiveness and transformation. Paul did not react, retaliate, or seek revenge for any injustice that he suffered. Paul continued to be God's servant and witness, letting God be the sovereign authority. 

Empowered | Acts 21-22

Gospel success is rooted in God's sovereignty. This explains Paul's Gospel success, why he was so faithful to the Gospel, and why God was faithful to produce fruit that continues even today. Just like Paul, as we are anchored in God's sovereignty, we will have the clarity, confidence, conviction and courage in life that will make us an unstoppable force for God's glory and His mission in the world.

Empowered | Paul's Farewell Tour

Paul addresses the leaders and elders at Ephesus who are responsible for making sure the basics of the faith are the basis of forming Christian community. The basics of the Christian life that form the basis of a Christian community are to live a life of love, truth, tears, trials, and togetherness. Additionally, as believers, we are called to live a life of service,  awareness, development and gospel centrality. As Paul continues his journey and sets his sights on reaching Jerusalem, he knows that suffering and trials are ahead of him. No matter what Paul is facing, his life is a living embodiment and example of the presence of King Jesus on planet Earth.

Sermon Synopsis
Paul continues his missionary journeys, and in Acts 19, he is in Ephesus. Paul ministers and shares the Gospel boldly in the synagogue. Some believe, but some become stubborn and reject the message. Paul then goes to lecture and teach so that many throughout Asia, both Jews and Greeks, hear the Word. Paul performed miracles, and many confessed sin and the name of the Lord was greatly honored. 

Empowered | Acts 18 | Pastor Dan Young

Sermon Synopsis
In Acts 18, Paul continues his missionary journey, and he comes to Corinth, where he connects with Priscilla and Aquila, who are tentmakers like Paul. While in Corinth, Paul preaches the Gospel to Jews and Gentiles and encounters Jewish foes who abuse, arrest and accuse him, but many are saved. God demonstrates His faithfulness and affirms that Paul is to continue preaching and not be afraid. 

Empowered | Easter 2024

The Good News is that the Cosmic King, Jesus Christ, has come and, through His death and resurrection, is making all things new. We are called to be broken-hearted over spiritual darkness and depravity and to be bridge-builders in our culture driven by God's love. Like Paul, we are to be both a bright and bold witness, concerning the resurrection of Jesus and how God made a way for human beings to repent, be forgiven and be reconciled to God through His Son, King Jesus.
