This is a dive into Paul’s farewell in Acts 20—the part where grown men ugly-cry on a beach because ministry actually mattered to them.
If you’ve ever wondered why people drift, why it hurts, and why your life is always preaching even when your mouth isn’t… yeah, we’re going there.
Mic drops:
• “Some of us are leading people into spiritual danger simply by doing nothing.”
• “Freedom is doing what you want—after Jesus changes what you want.”
Come get humbled. And encouraged. And maybe spiritually jump-started.

If you’ve ever nodded off in church, this sermon is for you.
And if you haven’t… well, give it time. We all take a little spiritual nap now and then.
Today we're looking at one of the wildest moments in the Book of Acts—the night Paul literally preached someone to death.
And then brought him back to life.
Try topping that with a sermon illustration.
Here’s the thing: Everyone jokes about “falling asleep in church,” but the real danger isn’t dozing off during the message. “It’s not sin that gets us first — it’s sleepiness.” The world lulls us into spiritual drowsiness, and we don’t even notice it happening.
Meanwhile, Jesus is over here yelling, “Wake up,” not because He’s annoyed, but because “falling asleep in faith is inevitable; but being raised by Christ is certain.”
This message isn’t a guilt trip. It’s not caffeine for your conscience. It’s about the God who refuses to let you stay asleep.
“He doesn’t just forgive you — He wakes you up.”
And trust me, you’re going to want to hear what happens when He does.
So buckle up, stretch if you need to, and—no promises—but I’ll try not to preach long enough for anyone to fall out of a window.
Let’s jump in.
What happens when Jesus starts messing with your economy? When faith stops being a hobby and starts costing you something? In Acts 19, the people of Ephesus lose their minds because the Gospel hits them right where it hurts—their wallets. Paul preaches that “gods made with hands are not gods,” and suddenly the idol industry crashes.
That’s what the Gospel does—it disrupts business as usual. It threatens the systems that profit from our sin. And when Jesus becomes Lord of your life, all your lesser lords panic.
Mic drops:
“When faith gets real, it shakes things up.”
“When Jesus becomes Lord of your life, all your lesser lords panic.”
“The Gospel wins the day—not by shouting louder, but by outlasting the noise.”
“The Gospel doesn’t just rearrange your playlists—it rewrites your song.”
This message is called “No Little Disturbance.” Because when the real God shows up, all the fake ones start a riot.

Halloween’s over—but the darkness didn’t get the memo.
This week we’re talking about what happens when fake power meets real power, when superstition and control games run head-first into Jesus. Spoiler: the darkness loses. Every. Single. Time.
💬 Mic-drop moments:
“Light moves into darkness. Darkness pushes back. And light wins—every single time.”
“We can’t just tack Jesus onto our life like a magic charm and expect it to work.”
“When darkness meets real power, something’s gonna burn—and it doesn’t have to be you.”
You don’t want to miss this one.

“Not Today, Pastor Pushy” (Acts 19:1–7)
Ever been told you’re “not spiritual enough”?
That you just need to feel it more, cry harder, or speak in tongues to prove you’ve got the Holy Spirit?
Yeah… same.
This week’s message by Pastor Frank is about what it really means to be baptized in the name of Jesus—
and how the Holy Spirit isn’t something you earn by emotional gymnastics.
💧 It’s not a performance. It’s a promise.
🍞 It’s not hype. It’s grace.
🔥 If you're baptized, you already have the Spirit.
Mic drop quotes:
“The gifts of the Holy Spirit aren’t a merit badge.”
“You don’t need to fake it or chase it. Just rest in it.”
“Baptism tells you who you are. Communion reminds you Whose you are.”
“The Spirit doesn’t beg you to perform; He helps you love.”
You don’t have to be the complete discipleship package — you just have to do your part. That’s how God’s been building His Church since day one: imperfect people passing on perfect grace.
💬 “God’s been running His Church on unqualified people since day one.”
💬 “If we make it all about us, we’ll stay stuck on the cliff talking about gravity.”
💬 “When we stop making faith about ourselves and start helping someone else — boom! — all the courage we need shows up.”
Watch the full message and see why discipleship isn’t a program — it’s a chain reaction.

Ever feel like you’re giving it your all, but nothing’s working?
Church hurt? Culture wars? Prayers bouncing off the ceiling?
Discouragement: 1. You: 0. That’s how Paul felt in Corinth. Until Jesus pulled a midnight mic drop: ‘Don’t be afraid. I am with you. I’ve got people in this city.’ Guess what? He still does.

Paul stood on Mars Hill and told the intellectual elite, “What you worship as unknown, I proclaim to you.”
This week, we looked at that sermon — and yeah, we tied in Charlie Kirk’s assassination and what it means to be “Mars Hill brave” in our own cultural battleground.
“There’s no argument that can disprove truth, so the only response is always violence.”
“Only good people go to heaven — and there’s only one truly good person. His name is Jesus.”
Some mocked Paul, some delayed, a few believed. Same responses today.

Athens had Zeus, Athena, and Apollo.
We’ve got money, sports, politics, and little glowing screens in our pockets.
Same idols. New packaging.
The problem? We don’t even notice them anymore.
Paul was disgusted. We’re entertained.
💥 “If idols don’t bother you, they’ll consume you.”
💥 “The scariest idol is the one that doesn’t bother us anymore.”
Want the truth? Don’t settle for what’s new when what you need is what’s true.

You ever notice how people have really strong opinions about the Bible… without actually reading it? We scroll memes, share quotes ripped out of context, argue about “what Jesus would do” like it’s a group project, and then quietly hope nobody asks us where any of that’s actually written.
It’s like cramming for the final exam of life by… watching the movie trailer. You get the general vibe, but you miss the actual story—and then you’re shocked when the test is full of questions you’ve never even heard of.
Today we’re going to meet two groups of people who heard the same message about Jesus. One group grabbed pitchforks, the other grabbed their Bibles. And spoiler alert—the Bible-readers changed the world.
So yeah—this isn’t just about them. This is about us.
(Edited to full length)
“If your faith never costs you anything, it’s probably not faith in Jesus.”
That’s the sermon.
Paul and Silas got thrown in prison, beaten, and still sang worship songs at midnight.
Meanwhile, we’re mad if someone parks in our usual spot. This one’s about pain, purpose, and why God might not be trying to get you out of the hard place—but use you in it.
Catch the replay. And maybe ask yourself what your midnight song sounds like.

"If the only voice you trust is your own—you’re being discipled by a liar and a fool."
Oof. That one left a mark.
We all want to believe we're following truth… but how do you know who to trust anymore? Politicians? Influencers? Yourself? Your spiritual Spotify playlist?
This week at NewChurch, we talked about competing voices, the lies we buy into, and what happens when God’s truth disrupts the noise.
🔗 Catch up on the message now and ask yourself: Who do you trust?
P.S. In this sermon, I mentioned that “pythons and seraphim are the same word in the Bible.” That’s not technically true. They’re actually different words in different languages—“python” (Greek, Acts 16) refers to a spirit of divination, while “seraphim” (Hebrew, Isaiah 6) are heavenly beings associated with fire and God's throne.
That said—both are linked with serpents in Scripture. One is a deceiving spirit, the other a burning angelic presence. Both are spiritual powers. But one lies. The other worships.
In Numbers 21, God sends seraph serpents (seraphim) to bite the people for their rebellion. The people repent, and Moses is told to make a bronze serpent and lift it up—foreshadowing Christ (John 3:14).
The seraph as a fiery serpent shares symbolic space with the Python spirit—both are serpent figures associated with spiritual power, but one is from God’s judgment and the other from pagan deception.
Thanks for listening closely, for your grace, and for being part of this messy, beautiful journey of learning God's Word together.

“Faith comes by hearing… not zoning out.”
Let’s be real—you’ve probably nodded through a sermon or two while mentally making a grocery list. No judgment. But this one? You’re gonna want to actually hear it. It’s about a woman who listened for real—and it flipped her whole life (and her whole household) upside down in the best way. Open hearts, open homes, and a God who still speaks.

“Closed Doors (Acts 16:6–10)”
Ever had a dream die? A plan crumble? A door slam shut right on your fingers while you were trying to pry it open in Jesus' name? Yeah. Us too.
Paul had the Spirit of Jesus tell him “Nope” (twice!) before finally getting a vision to head somewhere he hadn’t even planned. Turns out God is better at Google Maps than we are.
This message is for anyone who’s ever been frustrated by redirection and divine silence. Spoiler: Closed doors might be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Jesus loves you just the way you are… but also wants you to knock it off and get out of your comfort zone. 😬 This week’s sermon is all about giving up perfectly good things—for perfectly better reasons. Like the Gospel. And love. And maybe even wearing something other than black. Some of us are way too loud with our opinions. Others are way too quiet with our faith. This week’s sermon asks one simple question: what are you willing to give up so someone else can actually see Jesus in you? It’s about comfort zones, spiritual pride, and loving people more than being right. So yeah… it’s not super comfortable. Watch anyway.

Ever feel like you’ve messed up so bad there's no coming back? Like you’re permanently in someone’s “Do Not Trust” file—or worse, your own? Yeah, us too.
This week’s message is called “God Writes Comebacks”—because He does.
Even when people give up on you.
Even when you give up on you.
Even when your idea of a good church service involves fog machines, metal music, and letting the devil preach (true story—watch to believe it).
Before you write someone off—or yourself—give this a listen. You might just find God isn’t done with you yet.

🍦 “It’s not gluttony if it’s Blue Bell.”
🛑 False. Also—nice try.
This week we’re talking about the sneaky ways we justify our sin—especially the ones that feel totally normal (like sexual sin, cohabitation, and... queso addiction). It’s a sermon about tape, temple prostitutes, blood sausage, and why God’s design for sex is more than just outdated rules.
👀 Come ready to be slightly offended, deeply encouraged, and reminded that Jesus is way better at justifying you than you are.

Do Christians just pick and choose what Bible verses they like?
Like, why do we still care what Leviticus says about sex—but ignore the stuff about bacon, tattoos, or polyester blends? Isn’t that just religious hypocrisy with a side of shrimp cocktail?
👀 In this message, we’re going to tackle one of the biggest accusations against Christianity: inconsistency. And we’ll do it by looking at how the early church dealt with the same exact issue in Acts 15.
🎯 Spoiler: We’re not picking and choosing. We’re rightly dividing the Word of God—just like Jesus and the Apostles taught us.
This one’s funny, thought-provoking, and packed with truth that will deepen your faith and help you answer real questions.
▶️ Watch now and see why bacon is not a sin—but pride might be.

What if people thought you were a god?
In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas perform a miracle—and the crowd tries to worship them. It's tempting to enjoy the spotlight, but they tear their clothes and point to Jesus instead.
This week’s message is about pride, suffering, and the only path to the Kingdom of God: through many tribulations.
💬 "We want to be worshiped, not crucified."
But Jesus shows us a better way.

Ever had a conversation that seemed to be going great—until suddenly you’re the bad guy? 😳
That’s exactly what happened to Paul and Barnabas in Acts 14. They were preaching the Gospel, people were believing... and then a mob tried to kill them. So, should they stay or should they go?
This message is about what to do when sharing your faith gets awkward, rejected, or downright dangerous—and how to trust God with the results. 💬🔥
You don’t have to win arguments. You’re just called to share the hope you’ve been given.
👉 Watch now and be encouraged.

Have you ever hesitated to speak up because you weren’t sure how people would react? Maybe you had the perfect comeback five minutes too late, or you thought of the right words after the conversation was already over.
What about when it comes to talking about your faith? Ever felt that moment of panic—What if I don’t say it right? What if they ask me something I don’t know? What if I make things weird?
We hesitate. We second-guess. We tell ourselves, Someone else will bring it up. Someone who knows more, someone who’s better at this. And we keep our faith quiet.
But what if we’re afraid of the wrong thing?
Today, we’re going to look at Acts 13, where Paul and Barnabas show us what it means to boldly share the Gospel—even when it’s uncomfortable, even when people don’t want to hear it, even when there’s opposition. We’ll see how they didn’t let fear stop them, how they shook off rejection and kept moving forward, and why we need to stop making evangelism about us—our comfort, our reputation—and start trusting God with the results.
Because at the end of the day, the real danger isn’t that people might reject us—the real danger is that they never hear about Jesus at all.

We like to think we’ve carefully chosen what we believe—that we’ve weighed the evidence, considered the options, and landed on our opinions deliberately. But what if we’re just sticky cheeseballs rolling through life, collecting random opinions, cultural trends, and half-baked ideas without ever questioning if they’re actually true?
What if truth isn’t something we invent—but something revealed to us by God?
This Sunday, we’re diving into Acts 13, where Paul lays out how God has been revealing truth throughout history—culminating in Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really true (or if you just like a good cheeseball analogy), this message is for you.

Have you ever tried to do exactly what God wanted you to do—only to run into obstacle after obstacle? You finally commit to growing in your faith, sharing the Gospel, or stepping into what God is calling you to do… and suddenly, everything seems to push back.
Yeah. That’s not a coincidence.
In today’s message, we’re diving into Acts 13:1-12, where Paul and Barnabas are sent by the Holy Spirit on their first missionary journey—only to immediately run into opposition. But here’s the thing: the Gospel is unstoppable. No amount of resistance can stand against what God is doing.
We’re going to talk about what that means for us today—how we can recognize spiritual opposition, stand firm in our calling, and trust that God always finishes what He starts.
I’d love for you to listen and engage with this message. And if it speaks to you, share it with someone who needs encouragement. Let’s grow in faith together.
