ACTS – The Unstoppable Church

Opposition

Opposition comes quickly, but the church stands strong. Pastor Scott continues our sermon series ACTS: The Unstoppable Church with a lesson in Acts 3-5. The apostles face persecution, yet they refuse to back down. Threats, imprisonment, and pressure can’t silence the gospel. Discover how the early church responded boldly and how we can stand firm today in the face of opposition.

ACTS – The Unstoppable Church

A Church for God’s Mission

The Book of Acts is more than history—it’s our mission. The Unstoppable Church is a seven-week journey through Acts, revealing how God established, empowered, and sent His church to transform the world. From the Spirit’s arrival at Pentecost to breaking cultural barriers, facing persecution, and engaging society with the gospel, Acts shows us what it means to live on mission for Christ.

Lessons from a Cottonwood Grove

Rooted in Christ, flourishing in faith – drawing life from God, not the world.

This sermon was Larry Coulter’s farewell message as he retires after 45 years in ministry, with 10 years at Lakeway Church. Using Jeremiah 17:5-8, he contrasts two types of people – those who trust in themselves versus those who trust in the Lord. Through personal stories and the metaphor of cottonwood trees in the Grand Canyon, he illustrates how spiritual growth progresses from seed to sapling to mature trees, emphasizing the importance of developing deep roots in faith.

Where is your trust planted? If you’ve been feeling dry, anxious, or distant from God, it may be time to shift your trust from human strength to divine provision. This week, choose to be like a tree planted by the water—deeply rooted in Christ, drawing from His never-ending source of life and strength.

Relationship Reset

Fight Right

Philippians 2:1-8 and Matthew 7:12 provide a powerful framework for handling conflict in relationships. Philippians calls us to approach others with humility, selflessness, and the mindset of Christ, prioritizing their needs above our own. Matthew 7:12, the Golden Rule, challenges us to treat others as we want to be treated, fostering mutual respect and empathy. Together, these verses teach us to fight for the relationship, not to win arguments or prove we are right. Instead of seeking victory, we seek understanding, reconciliation, and unity, valuing the person and the connection over being right. This approach fosters healthy, grace-filled relationships that reflect Christ’s love. 

 Scripture Reading: Philipians 2:1-8

 ‘So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.’ Matthew 7:12 (NIV)

 ‘Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.’  Ephesians 5:1 (NIV)

Relationship Reset

Week 1: The Power of Words

Pastor Scott begins a two-week series rooted in biblical wisdom, Relationship Reset. You will discover the path to thriving relationships and learn how to restore, strengthen, and bring life to your most important relationships.

 Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:29 + Proverbs 18:21

Ephesians 4:29 and Proverbs 18:21 together emphasize the incredible power of our words. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that our words hold the power of life and death, while Ephesians 4:29 urges us to speak only words that build up and give grace. Practically, this means recognizing that our words can either uplift and encourage or wound and destroy. Speaking positively brings life, strengthens relationships, and reflects God’s grace. Conversely, negative or careless words can harm, discourage, and break trust. These verses challenge us to be mindful of our speech, using it as a tool to bless and nurture others.

Life is Hard – God is Good

God Forgives

Exodus 34:4–7 paints a picture of a God who is both holy and merciful, forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin. Today, Pastor Luke Gordon unpacks the transformative power of God’s forgiveness—a forgiveness that reaches beyond our failures and restores us to His presence. What does it mean to embrace His mercy, even when we feel undeserving? And how can we reflect this grace in our relationships with others? Join us as we explore the boundless forgiveness of God and the hope it brings to our lives.

Life is Hard – God is Good

God Is Faithful (He Keeps His Promises)

In Exodus 34:4–7, God reveals Himself as a God of abounding love and faithfulness, overflowing with mercy and grace. This week, we’ll dive into the depth of God’s covenant love—a love that never runs out and never gives up on His people. What does it mean for us to trust in His steadfast love and to share that love with others? Together, we’ll explore how God’s love transforms us and calls us to live lives marked by His abundant mercy. Don’t miss this powerful reminder of the unshakable love of God!

Life is Hard – God is Good

God Is Slow to Anger (and incredibly kind)

If God is good, why is life sometimes so hard? The Bible reveals that things aren’t as they should be. Brokenness is everywhere, including in us. But the story of Scripture and the mission of God is one of rescue, redemption, and restoration. As we begin the New Year, this teaching series invites us to approach life’s challenges with a fresh perspective, seeking the power of the Spirit, the restoring love of Christ, and the faithful goodness of God in every area of our lives.

In Exodus 34:4–7, we encounter the profound nature of God revealed to Moses: a God who is compassionate, gracious, and slow to anger. What does it mean for us to reflect this aspect of God’s character in our relationships, workplaces, and daily lives? This week, we’ll explore the richness of God’s patience, the power of His steadfast love, and the call to embody this same patience in a world that often thrives on impatience. Join us as we uncover how understanding God’s slowness to anger can transform not only our hearts but also the way we extend grace to those around us.

First Things First: Reordering Our Lives for the New Year

Where has YOUR spiritual life become cluttered, lost, and disordered?

We all know what it feels like to be disordered, lost, and in need of a reset. Our spiritual lives are no different. Pastor Danny Hartmann invites us to recognize the clutter and disorder in our hearts and reflect on where we need recalibration. Through the lens of Matthew 22:37-39, Pastor Danny will explore how disordered loves—placing anything above God or loving things in the wrong order—can lead to spiritual imbalance. Discover how God calls us to realign our priorities and love Him first, finding clarity and purpose in His perfect order.
