"Next time someone says something dumb about how they don’t think they have to go to church to be a Christian, please remember these things. We are members of the body of Christ, if we don’t assemble as the church, in a church, to have church—we are dismembering ourselves. And dismembered body parts are gross."
"We're here to worship God and love people, not feel God and like people. No one ever said you had to feel close to God at church. Church isn’t about how you feel, it’s about worship and fellowship. It’s about being challenged to grow in our faith and comforted with the promises of the Gospel."

📖 Scripture Reading: Acts 5:1-11, Hebrews 10:26-31, Hebrews 12:29
In this message, we explore the boldness of Peter and John as they stand before the Sanhedrin, and the unwavering courage of Dietrich Bonhoeffer as he faced the evils of Nazi Germany. Both stories illustrate what it means to be bold in our faith, to stand firm in the truth of the Gospel, and to trust in God's sovereignty.
Join us as we dive into Acts 4:13-31, where we witness the miraculous healing performed by Peter and John, their fearless testimony before the most powerful religious leaders in Israel, and the unshakeable faith that compelled them to say, "We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard."
Drawing parallels to Bonhoeffer's courageous stand against Hitler, this message challenges us to examine our own lives. Are we listening to God rather than the voices of doubt and fear? Are we living out our faith boldly, with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control?
God has Hope for you here.
