"The Holy Hinge"

Acts 12:1-19a

Rev. Charlie Phillips

Last week we talked about the truth the Spirit of God keeps front and center in the lives of His people when the world around us seems to crumble: grace will prevail. In Acts 12 we see a historic example of that truth playing out—God’s people terribly wounded and yet triumphantly delivered. Join us this Sunday as we gather to heal around God’s Word and the tender heart of our King, who meets His people in their grief and reminds them that even in the darkest moments, His grace will prevail.

Join us as we seek the Spirit’s movement in our lives and in the world.

"Little Christs"

Acts 11:19-30

Rev. Charlie Phillips

C.S. Lewis once said, “The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose. It is even doubtful, you know, whether the whole universe was created for any other purpose.”



If Lewis is right, it begs the question: Are we becoming little Christs? This Sunday, we’ll explore the origins of the term “Christian” and what it truly means to bear that name.

Join us as we seek the Spirit’s movement in our lives and in the world.

"Pride & Prejudice"

Acts 11:1-18

Rev. Charlie Phillips

Joel Beeke once said, “In essence, sin is all that is in opposition to God.” Martin Luther put it this way: “Sin fails to let God be God.” And R.C. Sproul famously said, “Every act of sin is cosmic treason — a futile attempt to dethrone God in His sovereign authority.”



When you hear those words, who comes to mind?

The moral collapse of our culture?

The unbelieving world shaking its fist at heaven?

The obvious rebellions “out there”?



Or your own heart?

Acts 11 refuses to let us sit back as spectators of someone else’s treason. It confronts us with a sobering reality: sometimes it is not the pagan world that most resists the advance of God — it is God’s own people.
