Beach Church

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Steven’s death, which Saul supported, could have been a crushing blow to the early church. And yet, as Pastor Jerry shared yesterday, God can turn any circumstance around at any time! In fact, He's in the business of taking seemingly ordinary people in difficult circumstances and using them for the kingdom. Saul started out approving Steven’s murder and persecuting the church, and eventually became a kingdom influencer. Philip began as a table server, and he became an evangelist that cast out demons! What does God want to do in and through you in your current set of circumstances?

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || We had the privilege of hearing from Pastor Michael Young this week as he led us through Acts 6:8-7:60. These are the 3 key takeaways that we can learn from Stephen in this passage:
• The gospel, if we truly believe it, will cost us.
• When we follow Jesus, He is Lord over our lives and we are not.
• You can have all the information and still get it wrong.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || While walking us through Acts 6:1-7, Pastor Jerry reminds us that we cannot effectively share the gospel if we try to do it all alone. The truth is that God did not design the church to be run by superheroes! The power of God is released wherever someone is raised up to serve in Jesus’ name.

Acts 6:1-7

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday morning, Pastor David continued our ACTS series by walking us through Acts 5:17-42. As westudy the apostles and the boldness of their faith, we're reminded of the importance of prioritizing faith over worldly concerns. If our purpose comes from God and not from man, why are we concerned with what people think? The noise of the world is quick to drown out God's voice - what are we doing to hear Him?

Acts 5:17-42

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || This Sunday, Pastor Jerry walked us through the challenging passage about Ananias and Sapphira. As we read Acts 5:1-16, we focused on the significance of honesty and humility in the early Christian community. This is still relevant today as we struggle with the desire to project perfection in our messy lives . Pastor Jerry challenges us to live out an authentic faith through genuine confession, humility, and reliance on God's grace.

Acts 5:1-16

He is Risen, Beach Church! What an exciting opportunity we have to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus! This week, Pastor Jerry walked through the book of Acts, as the early church referred back to the whole basis of our faith. Jesus died for you and I, and then three days later, He rose again. This, “But God”, moment is the perfect reminder that even in the midst of our darkest circumstances, we serve a victorious and resurrected king!

As we prepare for Easter, Pastor Jerry took time yesterday to remind people of the harsh realities of the cross. However, even in the midst of deep pain, there was still hope! The criminal on the cross beside Him was invited into paradise with Him, proof that God sees us and responds to us in our desperation. Let’s reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice before we celebrate his resurrection.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Rachel hits us with the tough question, "What do you need to give more of?" Acts 4:32-27 tells us that believers in the early church shared everything they had with those who had need. Rachel challenges us to not only be generous with our finances but also with our time, energy, and attention. Being part of a generous kingdom requires us to be generous people. God is calling each one of us to be more generous with something. Throughout your week, pray about what God may be asking you to give more of.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry challenges us to honor God by being bold in our prayers. Despite the threats that Peter and John were facing in Acts 4, they prayed not for safety but for boldness to continue sharing the Good News of Jesus. This message emphasizes the importance of bold, faith-filled prayers that align with God's will, recognizing that God honors such prayers and works through them to accomplish His purposes. What bold prayers can you pray this week?

Acts 4:23-31

The message yesterday from Pastor Emmanuel was both challenging and encouraging. Jesus IS worth sacrificing everything for. The apostles knew this truth when they were confronted with persecution in the early chapters of Acts. Hopefully, we can follow in their footsteps and continue to say, “He is worth it!”
