We believe once you see this Christ ... you will find him irresistible. What we know not-teach us. What we have not -give us. What we are not-make us. Without this Gospel Heat -people will simply snap. Putting pressure on their will may temporarily alter their behavior but never changes their heart.

Christlike: Grace Under Fire (Acts 6:7–8:3)

Text: Acts 6:7–8:3

Jesus did not come to supplement your goodness, but to save you from your wretchedness. Sometimes we hurt, we bleed, we need help getting through life! God's church means...people not buildings.

Title: Growing Pains: Overcoming Challenges to Church Growth 

Text: Acts 6:1–7

The great red dragon will stop at nothing to destroy a growing church! When you care about something you appoint people to care for it. Don't bring me the problem without bringing me a solution. Anyone can point out problems. No spiritual gift required for that.

God can transform your life. God is taking messy lives and renovating them We WERE NOT good people needing to turn over a new leaf, but we were dead people who NEEDED TO be made alive by a new power. ARE YOU SOMEONE who walks through church thinking more about your glory than God's?

Spirit–Empowered, World–Evangelizing, Christ–Centered Ninjas (Acts 2:1–41)

Title: Spirit–Empowered, World–Evangelizing, Christ–Centered Ninjas

Text: Acts 2:1–41

I am not smart enough to teach anything other than the Bible, and I am too smart to teach anything but the Bible. You can have all the facts you want, but you still lack something. You lack POWER! Peter's sermon (at Pentecost) is pretty simple...The tomb is empty the throne is occupied...Jesus will not stay dead....repent and believe.
