Acts ch 1 vs 1 to 11 The Ekklesia of Church
Pastor Brett Peterson
Every time we open the Bible we enter holy ground. God had 40 scribes write His Word for us! The Holy Spirit knew, by His foreknowledge, that we at Living Water would be starting the book of Acts today, 1/18/2026. And before we start the birth of the Church in chapter two, we must know […]
Acts intro part 2 Fasting
Pastor Brett Peterson
Luke starts where the Old Testament left off in the Gospel of Luke, and Act (Luke’s 2nd book) starts off where his first Book (Luke) leaves off – the assertion of Jesus! Acts is the story of the birth of the Church and Christianity! And they fasted a lot in the early Church! So we […]
Acts Intro Part 1
Pastor Brett Peterson
As we stand at the threshold of a new year and prepare to walk slowly, carefully, and reverently through the book of Acts, there are several foundational truths that rise to the surface before we ever begin chapter 1, verse 1. Acts is not merely history; it is theological narrative—showing us what Jesus continues to […]
Last sermon of 2025 Communion
Pastor Brett Peterson
And God, all year, gave us the reminder that this world is not our home. God emphasized the work of the Holy Spirit in shaping believers as pilgrims, not settlers—people who live faithfully here without belonging to here. This was especially important in a year marked by political tension, moral confusion, and cultural pressure. We […]

We Finish Luke! Chapter 24:49-53
Pastor Brett Peterson
As we come to the final verses of Luke’s Gospel, we’re standing at a sacred intersection — the risen Christ completing His earthly ministry and preparing His followers for all that comes next. These moments are not just the closing lines of a book; they are the doorway to the birth of the Church, the […]
Resurrection Part 2 Luke 24:13-48
Pastor Brett Peterson
That first resurrection morning was supposed to be a morning of victory. Jesus had repeated again and again that on the third day He would rise. Yet what do we find? The pillars of the Church hiding in fear, shattered in their faith, unable to grasp the very promise upon which everything rests. The women […]
Resurrection Sunday Morning Luke 24:1-12
Pastor Brett Peterson
There are moments in life when what we expect to find and what we actually encounter stand in complete opposition. We walk into a situation assuming one thing—only to discover something that changes everything. That is exactly what happens at the dawn of resurrection morning! Luke 24 opens not with trumpets, but with broken hearts. […]
