This is our final message in our Acts series subtitled,

Mission without Means, based on Acts 4-5. This morning, Pastor Dave teaches us about counting the cost of being on mission with God and paying the cost anyway. We often think that a hero is a person who is greater than the rest of us, but we will discover that a hero knows the cost and pays it anyway. Jesus counted the cost, he taught his disciples to do the same, and Acts 5 shows them in action. We, average and ordinary followers of Jesus, are called to be everyday heroes to our city.

Amor of God

Are you in the battle or on the sidelines? We are part of a war of universal magnitude between God, His truth and against Satan and his lies. The armor of God is essential to winning the fight and accomplishing what Jesus asked us to do. Many Christians are distracted, immobilized, and defeated because they have bought into the lie. Let's move into victory and out of comfort.

Love Defined

Our world struggles to define love. Love is seen as a feeling of attraction.

But this definition of love is weak. It will fail.  We need a bolder and stronger definition of love—a definition that God provides for us in 1 Corinthians 13.

United, Feared, Wanted

Churches disciplined by God and indwelt by his Holy Spirit look different than other groups. Following the death of Ananias and Sapphira, the Church developed a rhythm of ministry that was only possible by surrender to the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus. The Church’s dependency on God united them even as it created fear in the community. The God of justice and mercy was among his people. While the Jewish Christians met in the temple court, Church ministry looked very different from temple ministry. Remarkably, the Church was attracting new believers and continuing to grow. What would it look like for us to surrender fully to Christ, be filled by his Spirit and serve in his power? Would it change how Victoria saw us? Would we be a place that caused the community to fear the justice of God while many are drawn to Christ?
