What if God has been preparing something you can't see yet?
While ordinary believers carried the Gospel into Antioch, Saul had seemingly disappeared from the story. But the Holy Spirit was working in both places.
In this message from UNHINDERED, discover why being hidden doesn't mean being forgotten, how Barnabas recognized God's fingerprints, and what happens when years of unseen preparation come together.
You don't have to see the whole story to be faithful in the chapter you're living.
What if God is already working on the other end?
In Acts 10, Cornelius is praying in Caesarea while Peter is miles away in Joppa. Neither knows the other exists. Neither can see the whole plan. But God can.
85,000 Blueprints is about learning to recognize the Holy Spirit's voice, trust Him with what we cannot see, and faithfully build the piece He puts in front of us.
You may only see your end of the bridge.
God can see both shores.
What do you do when the brook starts drying up?
When God led you here, but now everything looks different? When the dream hasn't happened, the breakthrough hasn't come, or you can't see anything growing?
Sometimes faithfulness means moving. Sometimes it means staying. And sometimes it means trusting what God is doing beneath the soil.
In this message, Hannah Henkel invites us to listen again for the voice of the Holy Spirit and trust Him with the season we're in.
What if the thing keeping you from trusting God isn't doubt, but your need to see where He's taking you first?
From the Garden of Eden to a walk across the rocky Lake Huron shoreline, Charmaine Creamer explores the quiet places where trust becomes control, compromise becomes "just this once," and God invites us to surrender what we cannot see.
You don't have to know every step ahead.
You just have to know the One whose footsteps you're following.
If God is good, why do bad things happen? For some people, that isn't a theological exercise. It's the question attached to a funeral, a diagnosis, an unanswered prayer, or the reason they walked away from God. But what if the God you've been angry with didn't actually break His promise? In Acts 9:32-43, two very different rooms force us to ask a deeper question: Did God ever actually promise what we thought He did? Maybe somewhere along the way... the sentence changed.
What happens when something you've sincerely believed for years doesn't line up with what God says? In this special UNHINDERED message, Pastor Chris responds to the Lindsay Clancy case and the cultural conversation surrounding it. We'll wrestle with compassion, justice, human life, and the voices shaping what we call good and evil. Because when God's Word says the wall is crooked, we don't need to fix the level. We need to let Jesus change us.
What if one of the hardest things to surrender to Jesus isn't your weakness... but your strength? Saul was brilliant, driven, connected, and knew how to make things happen. Jesus didn't extinguish that fire. He began teaching Saul where to put it. In The River Driver, discover the difference between doing something FOR God and staying close enough to Jesus to participate WITH Him in what He's already doing.
Saul was certain he was serving God. Then Jesus stopped him on the road. But tucked inside Saul's famous conversion is Ananias, an ordinary disciple who knew Jesus' voice, honestly voiced his concerns, and went when Jesus said, "Go." The Open Line explores what it means to walk closely enough with Jesus to recognize His voice, trust His character when we can't see the whole road, and join what He is already doing in the ordinary places of everyday life.
What if God is already doing something you can't see yet? In Acts 8, God tells Philip to leave a city filled with revival and walk down a desert road without explaining why. But a chariot is already rolling. Isaiah is already open. Questions are already forming. In Down the Road, discover what happens when ordinary believers learn to recognize the Holy Spirit's voice, take the next step, and join what God is already doing.
What happens when the Gospel takes root in a life where something else has already been growing for years? Simon believed. He was baptized. He followed Philip. But beneath the new growth, an old root still needed the redemptive work of Jesus. In Acts 8:9-25, Peter reaches for the shovel, and we discover that sometimes grace looks like the Holy Spirit lovingly uncovering what we would rather leave buried. God isn't looking for prettier branches. He's cultivating surrendered lives.
From the road, it looked like everything was falling apart. Stephen was dead. The church was scattered. Families were fleeing Jerusalem. But what looked like defeat was actually the beginning of the Gospel reaching places it had never gone before. Discover why the road never tells the whole story, and how God is often reaching further than we can see.
What comes out of you when life squeezes you? In Acts 7, Stephen doesn't simply show us how to die with courage. He shows us what a life shaped by Jesus looks like under pressure. Discover why whatever fills your focus will shape your heart, how the Holy Spirit forms Christ's character in ordinary believers, and why a Kingdom with deep roots can never be stopped, no matter how much opposition it faces.
Every believer eventually comes to a threshold. Fear. Pride. Disappointment. The familiar. In this message, Charmaine Creamer explores how God meets us in those narrow places and invites us into something greater. Through Acts 6 and several companion passages, discover how fresh surrender, Spirit-led obedience, and trust in Jesus can move you beyond what's holding you back and into the life He is making you for.
What if the greatest work of the Holy Spirit is happening in the part of your life nobody else can see? In Acts 5, Luke invites us beneath the surface to discover that pressure doesn't create faith... it reveals what God has been quietly cultivating all along. Join us as we discover how ordinary people become deeply rooted disciples whose lives continue bearing fruit, even when life gets hard.
Can a life look spiritually healthy while something is deeply wrong beneath the surface? In one of the Bible's most challenging passages, Acts 5 reveals that God isn't interested in polished appearances. He's cultivating healthier hearts that naturally bear lasting fruit. Discover why real spiritual transformation never begins on the branches. It always begins at the roots.
After severe storms, people ask, "How'd you make out?" Acts 4 asks the same question, but it's talking about people, not trees. Discover how the early church responded when life shook them, why they prayed for boldness instead of safety, and how the Holy Spirit patiently reshapes our reflexes until we learn to see every storm through the story of God instead of letting the storm define reality.
For forty years, everybody knew the story. Everybody knew where the lame man sat. Everybody knew what he couldn't do. Then Jesus interrupted the story. In Acts 4, the religious leaders are confronted with evidence they cannot deny: a transformed life standing right in front of them. What happens when God challenges the narratives we've accepted as permanent? What have you decided God can't do? Discover how Jesus still interrupts settled stories and changes lives today.
Have you ever felt like something was missing, even when you were chasing all the right things? In Acts 3, Peter confronts a crowd searching for life, hope, freedom, and purpose, only to discover they had been looking in the wrong direction. A crippled man looked to silver. A nation looked to power. A crowd looked to a miracle. Meanwhile, the Author of Life was standing right in front of them. What if the life you've been searching for has been closer than you think all along?
Most of us spend our lives focusing on what we don't have. Not enough resources. Not enough influence. Not enough experience. But what if God has already placed everything you need for today's assignment in your hands?
In this message from Acts 3, discover how a man who had never walked encountered the life-changing power of Jesus through two ordinary believers who simply made themselves available to the Holy Spirit. Because God has always done extraordinary things through ordinary people.
UNHINDERED begins with a simple but powerful question: What if the Book of Acts isn't the story of extraordinary Christians, but ordinary people who believed Jesus was alive and the Holy Spirit was present? In Acts 2:42-47, we discover that the wildfire of the early church wasn't built on spectacular moments, but on ordinary devotion. Join us as we explore how truth, community, tables, and prayer became the spark that changed the world and how the same Holy Spirit is still at work today.
What if “The Space Between” was never empty? In this Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Christopher Sanders explores the connection between the Mercy Seat, the Upper Room, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. Discover how the Presence once hidden behind a veil now dwells among and within surrendered people. The fire no longer falls on a golden box. It falls on people.
Before Pentecost became fire in the streets, it was hidden surrender in an upstairs room. In this powerful message from Acts 1, Pastor Chris Sanders explores faithful waiting, the upper room, the Presence of God, and why silence does not mean God is absent. If you are in a season that feels quiet, unfinished, or uncertain, this sermon will encourage you to stay surrendered and keep your heart ready for the fire God is preparing to send.
In Acts 1, after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, Mary the mother of Jesus is still there in the upper room… praying, waiting, remaining. This powerful message explores the quiet strength of faithful endurance and the kind of faith that keeps showing up when life becomes painful, repetitive, and uncertain. Some of the biggest work God does happens through people who simply refuse to leave the room.
What do you do when the sky goes quiet? In Week 4 of The Space Between, we step into one of the most overlooked moments in the Gospel story: the Ascension. Jesus did not disappear. He was enthroned. Acts 1 is not the story of Christ leaving His people behind. It is the story of Christ taking His seat as King. And that changes everything. If life still looks unchanged, this message will help you see the silence differently.
What do you do when God told you where to go, but not what comes next? In John 21, Peter obeys Jesus and goes to Galilee, but in the silence of waiting, he reaches for what feels familiar. This message explores trust in the waiting, restoration after failure, and the voice of Jesus still calling us forward when we do not know what comes next.
What if the most important moments with Jesus aren’t forced… but invited? In Luke 24, the resurrected Jesus walks with two believers and acts as if He will keep going. He doesn’t force His way in. He waits to be invited. In this message from The Space Between, we explore what it means to recognize His presence, respond with hunger, and invite Him to stay. This is where everything begins to change.
He’s alive… but what do you do when life still doesn’t make sense?
In this message, we step into the moment after the resurrection—when the tomb is empty, but the disciples are still confused, still uncertain, & still hiding behind locked doors.
Because the truth is…
The resurrection didn’t immediately bring clarity.
It brought questions.
They thought the story would end with victory over Rome…
Instead, it led to a cross.
And when Jesus rose again, it didn’t restore their expectations.
It rewrote them.
