Trying to discern God’s will for our lives can be difficult, but he has not left us without tools to try and hear his voice. In Acts 13, the church at Antioch was worshiping, fasting, and praying when they heard the Spirit tell them to set apart Barnabas and Saul. Often in Acts, God speaks to his people through prayer. How can we actively seek to hear from God, and how can fasting aid us as we try and experience more of him? Check out our latest sermon for more.

In Acts 10, Peter enters the house of Cornelius. While this seems like a small thing, in reality it was a massive shift in Peter’s thinking. For most of us life, Peter had kept his distance from the Gentiles for fear that he might be made unclean. However, God teaches him through a series of visions, "What God has made clean, do not call common.” Is it possible, that out of a similar desire to be holy, we might be keeping the world at arm’s length? What does it look like to pursue holiness but also to engage a world that is far from God? Check out our latest sermon from Acts for more.

In Acts 9, we read about one of the most dramatic conversion stories in all. of scripture. Saul, the great persecutor of the church, comes to faith in Christ when he encounters Jesus on the Damascus Road. Many Christians today might feel like their story of coming to faith is much less impressive than Paul's. However, the Bible shows us that any time someone puts their faith in Jesus, it's the result of a miracle that God works in their hearts. Check out "The Miracle of Conversion" for more.
Throughout the book of Acts, God often works in surprising ways. One of the most surprising stories in the book comes in Acts 8.
