God can call you in a moment—but becoming who He has called you to be takes time. In Acts 9:19–31, Saul has surrendered his life to Jesus and immediately begins telling others about Him. But the Apostle Paul we know today wasn't formed overnight. His journey included years of growth, testing, rejection, opposition, faithfulness, and obedience. In this message, Pastor Nick looks at Saul's early…
What are you still holding back from Jesus? In Acts 9, Saul’s life changes completely when he stops resisting Jesus and finally surrenders. The man who was persecuting Christians becomes a completely different person—and his story forces us to ask an uncomfortable question: Have I actually surrendered my life to Jesus, or am I still holding something back? In this message, Pastor Nick shares from…
Saul was one of the greatest enemies of the early church. He approved of Stephen’s death, dragged Christians from their homes, and traveled to Damascus intending to arrest even more followers of Jesus. But everything changed when Jesus met him on the road. In this message from Acts 9:1–19, Pastor Sam teaches through Saul’s unlikely conversion and the obedience of Ananias. Although Ananias had…
Have you ever felt a nudge to do something... and talked yourself out of it? In this message from Acts 8, we look at Philip's encounter with an angel, a desert road nobody wanted to travel, and an Ethiopian official searching for God without even knowing it yet. We break down what it really means to have the Holy Spirit as our Advocate — not just with us, but in us and upon us — and why so many of…
In Acts 8:4–25, Philip brings the gospel to Samaria, where many people place their faith in Jesus—including Simon the sorcerer. But Simon’s response reveals a sobering truth: it is possible to be around the things of God, say the right words, and still have a heart that is not right before Him. This message challenges us to look beyond outward religion, spiritual experiences, and simply going…
Persecution broke out against the early church, forcing believers to leave Jerusalem and scatter throughout Judea and Samaria. What appeared to be a devastating setback became the very thing God used to spread the gospel beyond the city. In this verse-by-verse teaching through Acts 8:1–8, Pastor Nick contrasts Saul’s religious pride with the faithfulness of Stephen and Philip. Saul believed he was…
Stephen stood before the very council that condemned Jesus to death. Instead of defending himself, he boldly proclaimed the gospel. In this verse-by-verse study of Acts 7 , we walk through Stephen’s powerful sermon—the longest recorded sermon in the book of Acts. By tracing the lives of Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and Israel’s history, Stephen reveals a sobering pattern: God continually calls His…
What happens when the church grows so fast that needs go unmet? In Acts 6, the early church faces its first internal conflict — and the apostles' response reveals something powerful: God often solves problems by raising up faithful people from within. Pastor Nick walks through the appointment of the first seven deacons, the qualifications that matter most (good reputation, full of the Spirit,…
What does it really mean to stand for Jesus when the world tells you to sit down and be quiet? In Acts 5:12-42, the early church continues to grow through the power of the Holy Spirit, but opposition quickly follows. The apostles are arrested, miraculously freed, commanded to go back and preach, beaten for their faith, and yet they leave rejoicing because they were counted worthy to suffer for the…
What does God really care about—your money or your heart? In this verse-by-verse study of Acts 4:32–5:11, Pastor Nick Wyss explores one of the most sobering passages in the New Testament: the account of Ananias and Sapphira. While this story involves money, possessions, and giving, the real issue is much deeper. The problem was never the amount they gave—it was the condition of their hearts. The…
