If you wrote Psalm 23, you'd probably have God defeat your enemies first and then set the table. But the Shepherd asks you to sit down while the enemy is still breathing. In this message, Havilah Cunnington unpacks why spiritual maturity isn't choosing between two truths, but learning to carry both.

What if part of the good work God is doing in you is your ability to go places your feet will never touch? On One Day to Feed the World Sunday, Dr. Nick Garza of Convoy of Hope takes us into Philippians 1, where Paul thanks a church for its partnership in the gospel. This message reframes a verse most of us read as a personal promise, and shows why giving through the local church is one of the most powerful ways to carry hope to the world.

If anyone could have done ministry alone, it was Paul. He met Jesus in a blinding light, heard His voice, and would go on to write much of the New Testament. So why, in Acts 13, does he never show up without someone by his side? This message uncovers why God surrounds us before He sends us and why your purpose was never meant to be a solo project.

Your work goes uncredited. A friend shares a heavy trial. You walk through a painful season. How you respond in moments like these reveals whether you're giving glory to God or quietly taking it for yourself. In this message from Acts 12, Pastor Bob Grimm walks through Herod's shocking end and shows why excellence is never the problem, forgetting who gave it to us is. Worms hide in the dirt, and they're closer than we think.

Are angels real? And if they are, why do most of our ideas about them come from movies instead of Scripture? In this message from Acts 12, we look at one of the most dramatic rescues in the Bible and uncover three things every believer needs when they can't see a way out. Faith doesn't mean pretending the prison isn't real. It means knowing the prison isn't all there is.

When your brain has an unanswered question, it fills the gap with a story. The question is whether that story is true. In this message from Acts 12, we walk through the hardest chapter of the early church's life and discover two things that grew in them when the answers never came. You may not understand everything, but God does, and He is always at work building something beautiful in you.

Is someone blessed by God because they're wealthy? Maybe. Is someone blessed because they're not wealthy? Maybe. So how would you actually know? In this message from Acts 11, we follow Barnabas to Antioch to see the evidence God's blessing leaves behind, including one form of it that showed up in the middle of persecution, not after it ended. Blessing isn't the absence of trouble. It's something far better.

Any finite number divided by infinity equals zero. So whether you live 80 years or 120, compared to eternity your life is zero time. And what we do in this zero time determines how we will spend eternity. In this guest message, John Bevere unpacks the judgment seat of Christ and the two areas Scripture says every believer will be examined in. Would you rather know about this now, or find out then?

We have done a great job teaching who we are in Christ. We have not done nearly as well teaching what we are called to do. Grace is not only forgiveness, it is empowerment, and your gifts were never meant to be sat on. The parable of the talents confronts us with an uncomfortable question: is maintaining the same thing as being faithful?

Do you know what you believe? Not a twenty-minute theological lecture, but the four things every Christian should be able to say out loud. In this message from Acts 10, Peter walks into a packed house of hungry listeners and delivers a message so clear it still defines Christianity two thousand years later.

Have you ever met someone and almost immediately thought, "We're probably not going to be friends"? You didn't say anything. You weren't rude. You just quietly made a decision. They're not my kind of person. Maybe they're too loud, too quiet, too political, too religious, too successful, too broken, too different. Sometimes we don't even realize we're doing it. We simply sort people. We have our people: the ones we naturally connect with, trust, invite to dinner, sit beside at church. And then there are the other people, the ones we keep at a distance. So here's the question: what if God has a bigger circle than we do?

Acts 10 is one of the most significant chapters in the entire book of Acts, not simply because of what happens, but because of what God reveals. If there is ever a chapter where heaven leans over the balcony of eternity and shouts to earth, "There is more!" this is it. Peter has become a veteran of revival. Cornelius, from the outside, looks like he has everything: influence, wealth, respect, morality, religion. But God looks at both men and says the same thing. There is more. Never believe you've exhausted everything God wants to do in your life. If there was more for Peter, and more for Cornelius, then there is more for us.

What does it actually look like to live a life that resembles Jesus? That question sits at the heart of this powerful exploration of Acts chapter 9, where we witness something remarkable: Peter raising Tabitha from the dead in a way that mirrors, almost detail for detail, a miracle Jesus himself performed.

Saul's conversion on the Damascus road was radical and immediate. But his maturity wasn't. Right after that famous encounter, Scripture shows us something we often skip past: a long season of development. Paul gets radically converted, but then God takes him through a process He takes all of us through. This process is called maturing. A commitment to Jesus is a commitment to growth, and the only way we can experience the more of "There Is More" is if we mature.

If we're honest, every one of us knows someone we've quietly decided is beyond God's reach—and sometimes, that someone is the person in the mirror. In this message, we follow the most radical conversion in Scripture, meet an ordinary disciple given a terrifying assignment, and discover the three things Jesus loves to do with long shots. Don't stop praying for the one you've almost given up on.
