Send us Fan Mail What does the Bible actually teach about signs and wonders, miracles, healing, and the power of the Holy Spirit? In Acts 5:12-16, we encounter one of the most remarkable snapshots of the early church. Miracles are happening. The sick are being healed. Demonic oppression is being broken. Crowds are gathering. Yet Luke's main emphasis isn't the miracles—it's that more and more people are being added to the Lord. In this message, Pastor Timothy Stewart explores the biblical concept of power evangelism and answers important questions such as: • Are signs and wonders still for today? • What is the purpose of miracles in the New Testament? • What does the Bible say about healing and deliverance? • How should Christians think about spiritual gifts? • What are the dangers of both skepticism and sensationalism? • Why did miracles often accompany gospel expansion in Acts? • How do holiness, hunger, and humility position believers to experience God's power? Drawing from Acts 5, church history, revival movements, and missionary accounts, this sermon presents a balanced biblical approach to the work of the Holy Spirit while keeping Jesus and the Gospel at the center. The greatest miracle isn't physical healing—it's the salvation of a soul. 📖 Scripture: Acts 5:12-16 🔑 Key Themes: Power EvangelismSigns and WondersHealing and MiraclesThe Holy SpiritSpiritual GiftsRevivalThe Fear of the LordHolinessHumilityHunger for GodGospel MissionActs ChurchBiblical ChristianityIf this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who is hungry to see God move in their life. #PowerEvangelism #Acts5 #HolySpirit #SignsAndWonders #Healing #Miracles #Revival #SpiritualGifts #BiblicalChristianity #VintageChurch #LodiCA #FearOfTheLord #ActsSeries #JesusIsIrresistible

Send us Fan Mail In Acts 5:1–11, we encounter one of the most sobering and challenging passages in the entire New Testament—the story of Ananias and Sapphira. Why did God judge them so severely? What was their real sin? And what does this account teach the modern church about holiness, hypocrisy, and the fear of the Lord? In this message, Pastor Timothy Stewart explores how the early church faced not only persecution from the outside, but also deception from within. Through the story of Ananias and Sapphira, we discover that God desires authenticity over appearance, integrity over image, and hearts that fear Him more than they seek the approval of others. Most importantly, we learn that the fear of the Lord is not terror that drives us from God—it is awe that keeps us from playing games with God. At the cross, God's holiness and mercy meet, revealing why the Gospel is the shortest path to a healthy fear of the Lord. Whether you're studying the Book of Acts, wrestling with questions about God's judgment, or seeking a deeper understanding of authentic Christianity, this message will challenge and encourage you. 📖 Scripture: Acts 5:1–11 🔹 In This Sermon: • Ananias and Sapphira Explained • The Sin of Hypocrisy in the Church • What It Means to Fear the Lord • God's Holiness and God's Love • Satan's Attack on the Church from Within • The Connection Between Achan and Ananias • Secret Sin and Spiritual Growth • The Gospel and Authentic Faith • Why the Fear of the Lord Is the Beginning of Wisdom Join us as we continue our journey through the Book of Acts and discover how the early church turned the world upside down through the power of the Holy Spirit and unwavering devotion to Jesus Christ. #Acts5 #FearOfTheLord #AnaniasAndSapphira #BookOfActs #ExpositoryPreaching #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #HolySpirit #GospelCentered #VintageChurch #PastorTimothyStewart #BiblicalTeaching #ChristianLiving #ChurchLeadership #HolinessOfGod #FaithAndRepentance #NewTestament #VerseByVerse #ChristianPodcast #BibleStudy

Send us Fan Mail What does the Bible teach about generosity, stewardship, and money? In this message from Acts 4:32–37, we explore the remarkable picture of the early church—a community united in heart and soul, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and marked by radical generosity. As the gospel transformed their hearts, it transformed their relationship with possessions. The believers in Jerusalem understood that everything they had belonged to God and was meant to be used for His glory, the advancement of the gospel, and the care of others. In this sermon, Pastor Timothy Stewart examines how the resurrection of Jesus creates a people who hold their resources with open hands, why stewardship is a matter of worship, and how radical generosity has fueled the mission of the church from Acts to today. Topics Covered: • Acts 4:32-37 Explained • Biblical Stewardship • Radical Generosity in the Early Church • Barnabas: Son of Encouragement • Tithing and Firstfruits Giving • Gospel-Centered Generosity • Christian Giving and Worship • The Mission of the Church • The Power of the Resurrection • Living with Open Hands Key Takeaway: "Open hearts create open hands." Whether you're wrestling with questions about money, generosity, tithing, stewardship, or simply seeking to grow as a disciple of Jesus, this message will challenge and encourage you to see everything you have as a gift from God for His purposes.

Send us Fan Mail In Revelation 18–19, the story of Babylon’s fall collides with the song of the Bride’s redemption. One city burns while another shines. One banquet devours; the other delights. In this message, Banquets & Beauties, Pastor Timothy unpacks the two banquets and two beauties that define the destiny of every soul. Babylon’s deceptive beauty—marked by pride, luxury, and deception—ends in destruction. But the radiant beauty of the Bride—clothed in grace, not performance—leads to eternal joy at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. 📖 Key Themes: “Come Out of Her, My People”: The Call to Leave BabylonThe Two Banquets: Wrath and RedemptionThe Two Beauties: Deception vs. DevotionThe Fear of the Lord and the Freedom of GraceThe Bride’s Readiness: “It Was Granted Her…”Worship as the Rehearsal for the Wedding🙌 Discover how to live ready—anchored in grace, captivated by Christ, and longing for the eternal banquet where the Lamb sings over His people. #Revelation #BanquetsAndBeauties #VintageChurchLodi #PastorTimothyStewart #MarriageSupperOfTheLamb #BookOfRevelation #JesusIsWorthy #FaithfulExiles #ComeOutOfBabylon

Send us Fan Mail In Revelation 17, we encounter one of the Bible’s most vivid and unsettling images — the great prostitute, Babylon the Great, riding the beast and seducing the nations. But beneath the imagery lies a timeless truth: the world’s systems of pleasure, prosperity, and power still war against the Lamb today. In this message, Politics and Prostitutes: A Tale of Two Cities, Pastor Timothy unpacks the meaning of Babylon as more than an ancient empire — it’s the spirit of the age, the City of Man, contrasted with the City of God. Through Scripture, history, and modern parallels, we’re called to live as faithful exiles: in the world, for the city, but never of the world. 📖 Key Themes: The Great Prostitute & the Spirit of BabylonPleasure, Prosperity, and Power: The World’s Three LuresCovenant Unfaithfulness vs. Holy FidelityDaniel’s Model of Faithful Presence in BabylonThe City of Man vs. The City of God🙌 Discover how to seek the welfare of your city without losing your soul — learning to love Babylon redemptively while keeping your allegiance to the Lamb. #Revelation #PoliticsAndProstitutes #CityOfGod #CityOfMan #VintageChurchLodi #PastorTimothyStewart #FaithfulExiles #BookOfRevelation #JesusIsWorthy

Send us Fan Mail In Revelation 15–16, we encounter one of Scripture’s most sobering truths — the wrath of God. Far from being cruel or impulsive, God’s wrath is the necessary expression of His holy love and justice. Pastor Timothy unpacks the two expressions of wrath — passive and active — and shows how every act of divine judgment flows from a heart of love that refuses to let evil win. Through powerful connections to Romans, Exodus, and the cross, we see that Jesus drank the cup of wrath so we could drink the cup of salvation. 📖 Key Themes: The Wrath of God: Already and Not YetPassive vs. Active WrathWhy Love Necessitates WrathThe “Two Cups”: Wrath or Salvation“It Is Finished” vs. “It Is Done” — Two Moments of Divine Justice🙌 Reflect on what it means to live awake, repentant, and ready — before the day when repentance is replaced by reckoning. #Revelation #WrathOfGod #VintageChurchLodi #BibleTeaching #JesusIsWorthy #PastorTimothyStewart #BookOfRevelation #LoveAndJustice

Send us Fan Mail In Revelation 14, we are called to “Follow the Lamb wherever He goes.” This powerful passage contrasts the way of the Lamb with the way of the beast — two marks, two allegiances, two destinies. Pastor Timothy unpacks what it means to live as those who bear the name of the Father, not the mark of the world. Belief becomes allegiance, and worship becomes witness as we learn to follow Jesus with endurance and purity in a world that pressures us to conform. 📖 Key Themes: The Mark of the Beast vs. the Seal of the LambAllegiance: Belief that Becomes ObedienceEndurance and Faith of the SaintsThe Eternal Gospel and the Call to WorshipThe Harvest: Salvation or Judgment🙌 Discover the hope and courage that come from following the Lamb — the One who conquered through sacrifice and reigns through love. #Revelation #FollowTheLamb #VintageChurchLodi #BookOfRevelation #PastorTimothyStewart #FaithfulToTheEnd #JesusIsWorthy #WorshipAndWitness
