The Disciples were Called Christians

Sermon: Pastor Q Kim

This episode explores Acts 11 and the moment when believers were first called “Christians” in Antioch. Through the story of the early church, we see how God used ordinary believers to spread the gospel across cultural boundaries, turning persecution into opportunity. From the encouragement of Barnabas to the rediscovery of Saul and the generosity of the Antioch church, this message reminds us that God speaks, God sends, and God uses everyday people to accomplish His purposes. The challenge for us today is simple but profound: Are we living in a way that shows we truly belong to Christ?

Breakthrough - The Open Heaven

Sermon: Pastor Q Kim

This week’s message from Acts of the Apostles 10 explores the story of “open heaven,” as God uses the visions of Cornelius and Peter to break barriers and reveal that the gospel is for all people. When the Spirit falls on the Gentiles, we’re reminded that open heaven begins with an open heart—so where might God be calling you to move beyond comfort, tradition, or prejudice to share His grace more boldly?

Going BEYOND: Increased in Strength

Sermon: Pastor Q Kim

This week’s message from Acts of the Apostles 9:19–31 follows Saul’s dramatic transformation from persecutor to bold proclaimer of Jesus as the Son of God. As he grows in strength through seasons of opposition and preparation, Barnabas steps in as an encourager, helping launch Saul into his calling. God often shapes us in hidden places before using us powerfully. Will you trust His process and become a hope-builder for others?

Temple, People, Walls

Sermon: Pastor Jason Choi

Scripture: Nehemiah 6:15-16

As we step into a new year, this message calls us to see life from God’s perspective—not our own. Drawing from Ezra and Nehemiah, we explore what it means to rebuild the temple, the walls, and most importantly, the hearts of God’s people. This sermon challenges us to honor what God is doing in the next generation, guard the inner temple where His Spirit dwells, and resist strong structures paired with weak faith. With powerful stories of sonship, trust, and supernatural provision, we’re reminded that breakthrough comes when we ask God boldly as sons and daughters and take steps of faith beyond our comfort. This is a word of hope, renewal, and breakthrough for 2026.
