An edict from Rome uprooted them, and it placed them directly in Paul’s path. Pastor Adam closes this series through Acts with Priscilla and Aquila, an ordinary couple whose tentmaking trade, open home, and willingness to quietly disciple a gifted teacher named Apollos left a mark on the early church that outlasted them.

His name was Joseph, but the apostles renamed him after the thing he was known for — encouragement. Pastor Adam traces Barnabas through Acts: the man who sold his land for others, vouched for Saul when no one else would, and gave John Mark a second chance that changed church history.

While a city in Samaria is still buzzing from revival, God sends Philip the other direction — to a desert road, to minister to one man. Pastor Harry unpacks what happens when the church trades the crowd for the one, and what it costs, and gains, to carry the gospel that far.

A new series in Acts. A new question for the congregation: if the people around you asked you to be a busboy, would you be honored or offended? The person they asked in Acts 6 was Stephen. He started at the tables. He ended in the streets, speaking with a wisdom and courage no one could withstand. That’s the invitation.

Most of us live far below the capacity available to us. On Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Adam skips the argument about tongues and goes after dunamis — the explosive power Jesus told the disciples to wait for, and what it looks like on an ordinary Tuesday.

Devoted, together, daily. Pastor Adam closes the series on regularity, makes an unfashionable defence of religion, and ends with Nicholas Winton — who told nobody for fifty years, until the audience seated around him stood up.

The Greek for “together” carries proximity, not just agreement — they lived near each other. Pastor Adam handles the verse everyone flinches at carefully, then refuses to let the caveat do all the work: do you actually want to be part of a church like that?

Four things the first church devoted itself to, treated as a blueprint rather than a historical note. Back from Israel, Pastor Adam puts the uncomfortable question to his own congregation: ten years in, we have gotten wider — have we gotten deeper?

Paul goes to Jerusalem not knowing what waits, warned in every city. Nic Gilmore preaches it with the question turned on himself, names the problem of suffering rather than stepping around it, and asks whether any of us are on track to finish well.
