In Acts 6:8–7:60, Stephen stands before the council as a faithful witness to Jesus Christ. Instead of defending himself, he retells the story of Israel to show that God has always been at work beyond temples, traditions, and human control—and that His people have repeatedly resisted Him. When Stephen sees the risen Son of Man standing at the right hand of God, he entrusts himself to a reigning King even as stones fall around him. This sermon calls us to examine where we may be resisting the Spirit and to stand with courage and hope before the King who stands for His people.

In Acts 5, the early church collides head-on with religious and political power, and what emerges is unstoppable courage. When commanded to be silent, the apostles declare, “We must obey God rather than men,” boldly proclaiming that the risen Jesus is Leader and Savior. Beaten and threatened, they do not retreat but rejoice, discovering that suffering for Christ is not defeat but participation in His glory. This sermon explores how the resurrection of Jesus transforms fear into courage and opposition into unshakable joy.

What happens when the risen Jesus truly reigns among his people? This sermon explores Acts 4:32–37 and reveals how the resurrection creates deep unity, frees us from the grip of possessions, and turns generosity into a powerful, visible witness. Through the example of the early church—and Barnabas in particular—we see a “resurrection economy” where grace reshapes how we belong, give, and live together. The message culminates in a bold vision for our own moment, inviting us to imagine how resurrection-shaped generosity can bring real hope and healing to our city today.

In Acts 3–4, a miraculous healing becomes a bold sign pointing beyond itself to the risen and reigning Jesus—and it sets off a confrontation with the powers that be. This sermon explores how the gospel not only brings restoration and joy, but also provokes resistance as Christ’s lordship challenges every rival claim to authority. From personal repentance to the cosmic renewal of all things, we see how resurrection power reshapes both lives and communities. Join us as we consider what it means to live with courageous allegiance to King Jesus and to bear faithful witness in a world that does not always welcome the truth.

A word for a distracted church, and a frightened world that needs a fearless one.

But the message does not stop at personal response—it creates a new community shaped by Scripture, sacrament, prayer, generosity, and joy.
