About this listen

This Sunday, we looked at Acts 22:30-23:11, where the apostle Paul faces intense hostility—yet God uses that very pressure to grow Paul’s character and advance the gospel mission. Scripture reminds us that our trials are not accidents; they are “necessary” moments where God strengthens our faith and shapes our witness.

Just as Paul’s opposition became a surprising doorway for gospel opportunity, our own hardships can become platforms for clarity, credibility, and courage. When we respond to suffering with trust instead of panic, and faith instead of fear, people around us see the power of Christ at work in real time.

Our message this Sunday is called Resistance and Refinement. Let's explore how God uses the struggles we’d never choose to accomplish the purposes we could never imagine—and how our response to hardship can shine the hope of Jesus to a watching world.

Join us each Sunday at 9 or 11AM as we seek our Lord Jesus with you all. Hope you will join us and invite a friend.
