What The Resurrection Accomplished

In this message from Resurrection Sunday 2024, Pastor Braden brings a word of encouragement about what Jesus' resurrection accomplished. Hint - it is powerful and life-changing!

Acts #12 - Like Stephen, Like Jesus

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through most of Acts 6 and all of Acts 7. This is one long section of scripture that describes a passionate follower of Jesus named Stephen, who is wrongfully put on trial and eventually executed for his faith. Here, we explore numerous principles that apply to all followers of Jesus today.

Acts #11 - Pushing Through The Roadblocks

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 6:1-7. This text is about the Church - they had an issue, addressed it, and moved on better for it. You might think "what does this have to do with me?" - the reality is that as a believer, you are part of the Church too! You are a vitally important part of the same movement Jesus started all those years ago. Therefore, we need to be lovers of the Church and take seriously the call Jesus gives us to BE His Church!

Acts #10 - A Gospel Stand

In this message, Sean Bosse teaches through Acts 5:12-42. This section of scripture details some of the persecution the early church was beginning to endure, which involved arrest, threatening, and even physical beatings. In the face of danger, the early church took a stand for the Gospel, and we must do the very same thing today.

Acts #9 - What Do We Do With Our Sin As Believers?

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 5:1-11. This is the text about Ananias and Sapphira, who lied to God and the church and were struck dead as a result. Within what seems like an intense (some might even argue 'extreme') account is actually a beautiful, freeing invitation from God to us about how we are supposed to handle our sin day by day as believers.

Acts #8 - The Path Forward Under Pressure

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 4:23-37. Here, the early church was at a crossroads - if they continued on with the life Jesus called them to live, it could cost them everything; if they stopped and put it down, they would be denying their King and Saviour. Neither option was easy, but they trusted God - and he made a way forward for them.

This is a critically important message for the church today, as we will find ourselves in similar situations if we are committed to doing God's work.

Acts #7 - War, Worship and Witnessing: Insights From Acts 4

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches from Acts 4:1-22. This text deals with the disciples getting arrested in the wake of healing a crippled man in Jesus' name.

This text is a grab bag of impactful truth - pushback from the enemy, a religious spirit, and what happens when we boldly witness in spite of it all. This is full of principles for our walk today!

Acts #6 - Let's Walk!

In this message, Sean Bosse teaches from Acts chapter 3. This is an account of a miraculous healing done in the name of Jesus. This is full of principles for today, so be encouraged as you listen in!

Acts #5 - A Picture Of The Church

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 2:42-47. This is an INCREDIBLE text that shows a picture of what the thriving early church was like. This is not just a word about the church of the past, but also word for the church of the present - what our priorities need to be, what we should be focused on, and what we should be doing as a result of being led by the Spirit of God.

Acts #4 - The Gospel: Our Main Message

In this message, Pastor Braden teaches through Acts 2:14-41. This text is all about the GOSPEL - the good news of who Jesus is and what he has done. The Gospel is called "the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes". It is the only message that can lead to salvation. It is the message the Church needs to champion.

All believers are called to be witnesses for Jesus - a huge piece of this is sharing the Gospel. Thankfully, God provides everything we need - the opportunities, the boldness, the message, and the results. We just need to do it!
