The Book of Acts: The Mission Continues - Pastor Chad Stuart - October 23, 2021
02/02/2022 Duration: 33minSend us a textThe book of Acts ends somewhat abruptly. Unlike a television drama or a short story, the author doesn't tie up the narrative with a neat bow. Why is this?

10/11/2021 Duration: 28minSend us a textIs the world getting worse? Has it ever been this bad? Unfortunately, those are the wrong questions. Instead of seeking to measure how bad the world may be, we need to do what the Apostle Paul did. What was it? How should we react when we come face-to-face with the storms of this life? Should we focus on the storm itself, or is there something higher?

07/11/2021 Duration: 27minSend us a textEvery interaction we have with others says something about who we are, what we believe, and the God we serve. We're called to desire good for all whom we interact with—the highest form of "good" being a person's relationship with Jesus. Are we saying this with our words? Are we doing this with our actions?

The Book of Acts: Don't Go Along to Get Along - Pr. Chad Stuart - Oct. 2, 2021
05/11/2021 Duration: 30minSend us a textHave you ever gone along with an idea that you knew was incorrect, simply because you didn't want to make waves? Most of us have probably done this at some point in our lives. In Acts 22, we see the Apostle Paul making a conciliatory gesture for this same reason—he didn't want to make waves and unfortunately, there were consequences. Are there areas in our lives where we don't speak up or speak out, simply to avoid the awkward moment that follows? What can we learn from Paul as he navigates the tricky cultural waters of his day?

The Book of Acts: Model for Church Elders - Pr. Chad Stuart - Sept. 25, 2021
02/11/2021 Duration: 33minSend us a textThe apostle Paul, the writer of much of the Bible’s New Testament, was never one to shy away from his calling. In Acts 20:17-37, Paul lays out the ideal qualifications and characteristics for a church leader. He did so while declaring to the believers in Ephesus that God was guiding his ministry and they would never see him in person again. Paul placed the Gospel message as his highest priority—more so than his own comfort or even his own life. Do we model this same level of commitment to sharing, testifying, serving, and praying in Jesus’ name? Are we allowing God to lead and guide our ministry—both personally and corporately?

26/10/2021 Duration: 20minSend us a textDo you struggle with idolatry? Most of us would probably answer in the negative. While it's true that we may not have little statues made of silver or gold, each of us can still struggle with idols. How are some common, modern-day idols impacting our faith?

24/10/2021 Duration: 23minSend us a textWhen the Holy Spirit leads His church, it’s sometimes moved in directions that it didn't plan to go.

Love Grows in Circles, Not Rows - Pr. Chad Stuart - August 21, 2021
22/10/2021 Duration: 32minSend us a textAs we’ve discussed in the previous messages from this series, the strength of our spiritual health depends on the personal growth that takes place in, you guessed it, circles, not rows. The sum of our experience with God and each other must be more than 90 minutes of worship on Saturday mornings. As humans, we simply don’t build relationships this way. What happens when we make a conscious effort to spend time in circles?
