Sincere belief doesn’t make something true, and plenty of people around us are searching for answers in the wrong places. In this message from Acts 17, Austin Lee shows how Paul used an altar to “the unknown god” to start a conversation in Athens, and how we can meet people where they are without leaving them there.

When the story gets uncomfortable, our instinct is to manage it. In this message from Matthew 28, Jeremy Brandt contrasts the guards and chief priests who bought a cover story with the risen Jesus, who holds all authority and sends His people out to tell the truth.

Samson had the strength to tear apart a lion but couldn't say no to compromise — and his story is a warning that having gifts from God isn't the same as living for God. In this message, Landon Miller traces Samson's calling, his slow collapse into compromise, and the moment his failure met God's redemption — a reminder that your worst moment doesn't have to be your final chapter.

What do you do when God opens the door but tells you to stay? In this message from Acts 16, Austin Lee walks through Paul and Silas's beating, imprisonment, and midnight worship to show that our hardest circumstances can become the exact platform God uses to reach someone else.

Is faith in Jesus ever enough on its own, or does it need something added? In this message from Acts 15, Curtis Rosinski traces the early church's first major theological crisis to show that the gospel was always meant for all nations, that grace alone saves, and that Christ's finished work leaves nothing left to add.
