Reach Church

God uses relationship to usher hope and healing into our lives. He equips us to do the same when He sends us into our cities.

God has a plan for us: to bless us as we work to be a blessing to the city He's placed us in.

The disciples endure imprisonment and torture for loving their city. To be a church for the city, we must count the cost...and choose to love anyway.

To be a church for the city requires true unity and radical generosity -- 2 things that only come from the Holy Spirit.

Infintiely powerful, intimately personal. In a beautiful exchange with Peter, Jesus puts both his authority and compassion on display. If there’s grace enough for Peter, there’s grace enough for you.

Charles Spurgeon said it perfectly -- "Let us not be too mournful about anything, now that we know we have a risen savior as our friend!"

After being released from their night in jail, Peter and John pray with their friends. What and how they pray inspires us to examine the manner in which we approach our Heavenly Father in prayer.

Peter and John are arrested and brought to trial as the good news about Jesus spreads through the city. Peter follows Jesus’ example and displays a selfless love.

Regardless of the relationship you have or don't have with Jesus, the reality of His vast love and power is bigger than your current understanding. So...how does your view of Jesus and His love need to be enlarged?

When Peter heals a lame beggar, we get two glimpses of what it means to walk in Jesus' name.

We have been invited into relationship with the creator of the universe, to converse with Him as often as we like. Incredible. So why do we struggle to take Him up on the invitation?

In both the Lord's Supper (communion) and ordinary meals, we see glimpses of God's love. Jesus wants you to come to the table, and to pass the invitation along to others.

True fellowship is not just Christians hanging out. It’s about participation, partnership, a shared purpose, and even shared possessions. A God who IS fellowship has done everything necessary for us to experience fellowship with Him and fellowship with one another.

Time for some unlearning and relearning. It's not enough to just hear the Word. Our devotion is measured by our obedience.

As Peter gives the first sermon ever, we are reminded that we have a gospel to believe, a Holy Spirit to be filled with, and that we can't help but live out that good news.

The inauguration of the Church, God's beloved family, the body of Christ, is marked by the coming of the Holy Spirit, in power, to unify and empower the followers of Jesus for the great mission before them. Things will never be the same.

The disciples are about to step into the grand mission that Jesus has invited them into. But first...they must wait. There is much to be learned when we observe how they wait.

As we start our deep study of Acts, we zoom out to see the book’s crucial place in God’s big story, and learn about the Holy Spirit who empowers us to step into the role we’ve been invited into.

Matthew 6:5-13. Prayer is an essential part of life in God’s kingdom. Jesus teaches his followers how to pray - simply and specifically.
