In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace God's heart for global missions. The central theme revolves around Acts 17:6, where early disciples were described as those who 'turned the world upside down.' We're reminded that the Great Commission isn't just a suggestion, but a command from Jesus himself. The speaker takes us on a journey through Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, showing God's consistent desire for all nations to know Him. This isn't just about far-off lands; it's about each of us finding our role in God's global plan. Whether we're called to be goers, senders, mobilizers, greeters, or prayer warriors, we all have a part to play. The message challenges us to examine our hearts and ask God to align our passions with His. It's a call to step out of our comfort zones and see the world through God's eyes, recognizing the urgency of reaching the unreached with the gospel.  Read More

In this powerful message, we explore the transformative story of Peter and Cornelius from Acts 10, challenging us to break through cultural and ethnic barriers for the sake of the Gospel. We're reminded that God shows no favoritism, accepting those who fear Him from every nation. This narrative compels us to examine our own biases and preconceptions, urging us to step out of our comfort zones and embrace diversity within the body of Christ. The message emphasizes the importance of immediate obedience to God's call, even when it contradicts our long-held beliefs or societal norms. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to prepare our hearts for God's work, expecting Him to move in and through us to reach others who may be different from ourselves. This teaching invites us to be bridge-builders in our communities, embodying Christ's love for all people regardless of their background.  Read More

In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace the true essence of an empowered church as seen in the book of Acts. The central theme revolves around being witnesses for Christ, not just in word but in action. We're reminded that the early disciples didn't just preach a reduced gospel, but lived out a kingdom gospel that turned the world upside down. This isn't about political power or earthly kingdoms, but about the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit working through us to redeem humanity. The message urges us to move beyond a private, comfortable faith and into a bold, transformative witness that impacts Jerusalem (our local community), Judea (our region), Samaria (our nation), and the ends of the earth. As we deny ourselves and embrace this calling, we're promised that God will move mightily through us, just as He did in Acts, resulting in salvations, healings, and Kingdom advancement.  Read More
