Steve DeNeff: āI was on the island called Patmos ⦠I was in the Spirit on the Lordās day.ā Those two sentences form the crucible in which the Revelation is given. God is with us, even when weāre alone on Patmos. He comes, not merely a child, but āone like the Son of Man approaching at an infinite speed, setting up his kingdom amidst the powers that rule the world. His kingdom āis eternal and will never be destroyed,ā (Dan. 7:14). God is with us ⦠the Voice is behind us ⦠always closer than we think.

The Painter
Nathan Metz: The book of Acts reveals a process of ārediscoveringā God (through the new realities of the Work of Christ and the Gift of the Spirit). The sermon will be preached to a ācurious attenderā who has come to learn more about God. I will walk this person through three phases of getting to know God: (1) wanting to be Him, (2) wanting to paint Him (3) wanting to be painted by Him. At its core, this is a sermon about the faults of modern subjectivism, the challenge of seeing God rightly and the implications of Godly humility.

What Makes the Gospel āGood News?ā
Lori Minor: Good news is only good for those who benefit from its āgoodness." As believers it's important that we properly define and distribute the powerful "Good News" of the Gospel!

All Play
Steve DeNeff: In the Church that God planted there is a conspicuous absence of heroes. Every member is active. Everyone plays a part, each one doing what seems natural (like common sense) to them, but together they accomplish what no hero ever could. Everyone wins! And so when we walk in the Spirit, we become ALL that we were made to be.

In Jesus' Name
Emily Vermilya: Abiding in Christ is the source of all true courage. In Acts 4, Peter and John show that when believers draw their strength from Jesus, they can face anything. The Spirit who once empowered them now empowers us to live and speak with fearless humility in Jesusā name.
