Acts 8:26-40 Philip, Divine Appointments and Baptism
Pastor Brett Peterson
Imagine standing in the middle of a massive, roaring stadium where a spiritual revival is taking place. That was Philip’s life in Samaria. Crowds were hanging on his every word, demons were fleeing, the paralyzed were walking, and a citywide revival was burning bright. Philip was a deacon—a man appointed to serve food to widows, […]
Acts 8:18-25 Simon, his Sin, and Salvation
Pastor Brett Peterson
What happens when someone wants the power of God but misses the heart of God? In Acts 8:18–25, we encounter Simon the sorcerer, who attempted to purchase the gift of the Holy Spirit with money. Through Peter’s strong response, we discover an important spiritual truth: God’s gifts cannot be earned, purchased, or manipulated—they are received […]

Acts 8:4-8 Samaria, Sukkot, and Salvation
Pastor Brett Peterson
And now, in Acts 8, the gospel is about to cross a line it has never crossed before. Not into Judea. Not into another Jewish town. Into Samaria — the place no Jewish preacher would go. The place where the hatred ran so deep that the disciples once asked Jesus to call down fire from […]
Acts 8:1-4 Scattered Saints
Pastor Brett Peterson
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to settle into comfort? We build our routines, gather with people who make us feel secure, and stay right where we feel safe.

Acts 7:20-45 Moses
Pastor Brett Peterson
When Stephen stood before the religious authorities, he wasn’t on trial—they were. They accused him of speaking against Moses and the Temple, but Stephen takes them on a tour of their own history to show a recurring tragedy: Israel consistently rejected the very deliverers God sent them, at the very moment God was moving. As […]

Pastor Brett Peterson
Have you ever had a season in your life when you wondered… “God, where are You?” Maybe you’ve been there. You’ve prayed. You’ve trusted. You’ve waited. And nothing seems to change. In fact, sometimes it seems to get worse. And if we’re honest, there are times when our circumstances can make us feel like God […]
Acts 7:8 The Final Covenant Part 3 – There are nations on the new earth!!!
Pastor Brett Peterson
Get ready to have your world rocked! **NOTE: At 1 minute and 46 seconds into the video, there is a random ‘thumbs down’ sign that appears when I am saying the Bible is God’s Word written by Him through 40 scribes. We did not put that there and we don’t know how it got there. […]
