The Capable Church
Christians have created many systems to handle church conflict while forgetting the system God created: the church. The same church that has been able to carry the message of Christ for nearly 2000 years has the capacity to manage its own conflict.
Don’t Give Up!
As our nation celebrates fathers this weekend, we look at what the apostles teach us in Acts 5 about being better men of God. A
Testing God
In Acts 5, we find one of the first negative stories in the early church. In a church that is unified and selfless, dishonesty could be a threat that would change all that. God takes that very seriously, and the church learns about the importance of truth.

Pursuing Peace
Romans 14 teaches us how to get along when we have differences of opinion. One of the great challenges of conflict is trying to get the root of the problem rather than focusing on the personalities involved. This week we unpack some practical ideas of how to solve the people problem while pursuing peace.
Women In Acts
Women play a significant role as followers of Jesus throughout the book of Acts. This Mother’s Day we talk about Tabitha, Mary (mother of John Mark), Rhoda and Priscilla; and we learn how having some of their characteristics can help us in our walk with God.
