This episode follows Paul as he defends his faith before the Sanhedrin, faces plots on his life, and is transferred to Caesarea to stand before Felix and later Festus — ultimately appealing to Caesar. Interwoven is a parallel with Elijah and the widow of Zarephath, highlighting how God speaks "take courage" in moments of fear and scarcity.

The central message: God keeps his promises and sustains his people one day at a time, calling believers to trust, testify, and take hold of the courage already provided to them.

This message reflects on Acts 22 and Paul’s testimony: his persecution, the Damascus Road encounter, and how God transforms even messy pasts into purpose. Nothing is random—God’s timing and purposes often exceed our understanding. Trust that you are being formed for a purpose, and if you’re still alive, God isn’t finished with your story.

The sermon highlights Paul’s example of a life fully surrendered to God—faithful in ministry, generous in giving, committed to sharing life with others, and anchored in the hope of the resurrection.

Listeners are invited to reflect on five core themes—fully surrendered, fully faithful, fully shared, fully generous, and fully confident in the resurrection—and to apply practical nightly questions that help shape daily obedience, service, and stewardship.

This episode explores Acts 19, where the Holy Spirit arrives in Ephesus, bringing healing, deliverance, and bold witness.

It contrasts the power of God with occult practices, describes believers publicly renouncing their idols, and explains how the Spirit assures, transforms, and empowers Christians for mission.

This sermon from Mountainside Church examines Acts 18, focusing on Pauls ministry in Corinth and the ordinary believers—Priscilla, Aquila, Crispus, and Apollos—who helped spread the gospel. It highlights how God turns setbacks into new beginnings and calls believers to faithful, sacrificial discipleship.

Key themes include trusting God in fear, the command to keep speaking the gospel, and the importance of investing in others to multiply the impact of the church.

In this episode we walk through Acts 17, following Paul and Silas from Thessalonica to Berea and on to Athens, describing how the gospel provokes three common responses: belief, curiosity, or rejection.

The message highlights the Bereans' careful search of Scripture, Paul’s reasoned conversation with the Athenians about the true God, and the reminder that Jesus calls for an ongoing, life-changing response — not mere opinion. The episode encourages listeners to trust God to work beyond expectations and to live as devoted disciples of Christ.

In Acts 16 we see the gospel break into the lives of three very different people: a wealthy businesswoman, a slave girl, and a Roman jailer. In a culture where some Jewish men prayed, “Thank you, Lord, that I am not a Gentile, a slave, or a woman,” the Spirit of God made sure the good news touched each of those very groups. It’s a beautiful reminder that Jesus is for everyone—no matter your background, failures, status, or doubts. Just as Paul and his companions learned to keep stepping forward, trusting the Spirit to guide them to where God was at work, we’re invited to do the same. The good news is that salvation isn’t something we achieve; it’s a gift freely given. And Jesus is still meeting people today—breaking chains, healing hearts, and drawing people from every walk of life into His family.

This episode examines Acts 14–15: Paul and Barnabas’ missionary work in Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe — a miraculous healing, the crowd mistaking the apostles for gods, fierce opposition that leads to Paul being stoned, and the gospel opening to the Gentiles as the church grows.

We reflect on the cost of discipleship, the reality of suffering and persecution, and the power of mutual encouragement and joy as the community presses on in faith.

This episode reads Acts 13:14–38 and unpacks the gospel: God’s rescue through Jesus, the forgiveness of sins, the presence of the kingdom now and the hope to come, and the transforming power of the Spirit in believers' lives.

Today we compare elite athletes’ discipline and sacrifice to the Christian life, emphasizing commitment versus consistency. The message draws on 1 Corinthians 9 and 1 Timothy 4 to call believers to spiritual training, perseverance, and pursuing the eternal prize—Jesus—culminating in a reminder that our efforts are a response to God’s grace .
