Discover the freedom that comes from letting go of performance, condemnation, and the exhausting belief that God's love must be earned. Through Peter's message in Acts 3, we explore how genuine repentance turns us back to Jesus, wipes away sin, brings seasons of spiritual refreshments, and restores us to the life God created us to live.
A youth mission trip to New Orleans produced unexpected, Spirit-led moments of healing and freedom that mirrored the early church in Acts 3. Just as God orchestrated Peter and John's encounter with the lame man, He is still putting people on holy collision courses today - working through His worshiping people in ways that lease everyone in awe.
The early church's radical devotion to teaching, fellowship, shared meal, and prayer wasn't a product of obligation - it was the natural overflow of lives surrendered to the Holy Spirit.

Through the Holy Spirit, God removes barriers of ethnicity, gender, age, and status, calling His people to live in freedom, unity, and the shared mission of proclaiming the gospel.
The Holy Spirit empowers followers of Jesus to continue His mission with God's power and authority, not their own effort. When we submit to His leadership, God works through us in ways that reveals His glory, draw people in, and change how they see both us and Him.
Many have us have been living under the weight of hurt, disappointment, and exhaustion, but Jesus promises that ordinary believers who trust in Him can experience presence of the Holy Spirit just as the early church did. As our belief grows through trusting God and taking Him at His word, the Holy Spirit works through us to bring healing, glorify God, and draw others to faith.
