In this message, the speaker explores the profound "great mystery" of Ephesians 5, shifting the focus from earthly marriage to the eternal, prophetic union between Christ the Groom and His bride, the Church.

Guest speaker, Alan Hawkins, continues this weekend by exploring the essential "wineskin" of the early church, identifying a fourfold commitment to the apostles' doctrine, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer.

In this moving message, the speaker explores the transformative power of both direct and indirect encounters with God, drawing from the biblical accounts of Saul of Tarsus and the disciple Ananias. He emphasizes that an encounter with the living God—whether through a supernatural vision or the humble ministry of a fellow believer—is the key to breaking free from condemnation and stepping into a "promised land" of spiritual fruitfulness. Listeners are encouraged to stay present in their own encounters and to courageously serve as conduits for God to reach others through prayer, the laying on of hands, and compassionate action.
In this sermon, the speaker explores the holy standards of Psalm 15, contrasting legal restraining orders with the spiritual outworkings of a heart transformed by God's presence.

Shifting to a deeper personal reflection, the speaker shares how they overcame the painful deception of childhood rejection by realizing that God was present even in their most "Godless" moments. Ultimately, listeners are encouraged to "let it soak" and recognize that they are never alone, as God is always ready to interact and provide nourishment for the soul.
In this moving episode, we explore the profound spiritual concept of "first love" through a unique lens of classical and contemporary poetry.

Listeners are challenged to examine their own hearts and choose a path of humility and reconciliation to restore their vital connection with God and one another.
In this episode the "Stand Firm" series continues. Pastor Josh draws from Matthew 7 to contrast the wise man who builds his house on the rock with the foolish man who builds on sand. Using the acronym B.I.G. R.O.C.K.—representing Blessings, Influence, Goal, Righteousness, Origination, Care, and Knowledge—the message challenges listeners to move beyond religious ritual and behavior to a transformative heart-level obedience to the "sayings of Jesus."
In this reflective and deeply personal message, Pastor Paul explores man's chief purpose—to glorify God and enjoy Him forever—by extending that mission to our relationships with one another. Sharing personal stories of loss, marriage, and ministry, he illustrates that true biblical unity is not about identical thinking, but about being "one in spirit" as earthen vessels carrying the treasure of Christ. He challenges the church to move beyond surface-level harmony and into a deeper, sacrificial love that authenticates the Gospel to a watching world, effectively "turning the light on” for those who are far from God.
In this episode, Pastor Josh emphasizes the vital importance of Christian community, drawing from Paul’s letters to the Corinthians and Philippians to illustrate how we are called to "stand firm" as one body. Using the "Great Wall of Dallas" offensive line as a metaphor, he explains that while we are often vulnerable in isolation, we become an immovable force for the Gospel when we operate together in love. The message transitions into a moving testimony service, featuring stories of miraculous physical healing from lifelong food allergies and a profound spiritual deliverance from decades of torment. Listeners are encouraged to receive these testimonies as prophetic markers, stirring their own faith for real-time healing, peace, and breakthroughs in the year 2026.
In this message on the eve of a fasting call to worship, Pastor Josh draws inspiration from the Apostle Paul’s exhortation to the Philippians, he calls the congregation to stand firm in their faith regardless of life’s distractions, struggles, or persecutions.

In this episode, we transition from childhood memories of "boring" Christmas ornaments to the profound spiritual reality of the "Precious Pearl"—the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Drawing unique insights from the Gospel of Matthew, we explore how salvation is a treasure of immeasurable value that often becomes covered by the "dust" of life’s distractions, labels, and discouragements. The message challenges us to recognize a second pearl—the pearl of souls—urging us to look past human judgments and labels to see the people Jesus sacrificed everything to redeem. We conclude with a powerful reminder of the "impossible debt" we have been forgiven, calling us to choose mercy over sacrifice and embrace the true heart of the Gospel this season.

Join us as we reflect on the reality of "God with us" and what it looks like to walk in the fullness of His redeeming love today.
Ever prayed for patience and immediately regretted it? You shouldn't have! This episode explores why patience is not optional but essential for your spiritual journey. We look at the testimonies of healing and endurance, the intense suffering of the Hebrews, and the difference between macrothumia (long-suffering with people) and hupomone (self-restraint in suffering circumstances).

Pastor Dave focuses on the power of spoken words, urging the congregation to guard their mouths and recognize that they carry words of life that can break chains. He grounds his message in the unparalleled importance of the Name of Jesus, which is exalted above every name and holds dominion over death. PD uses a memorable analogy of an untrained dog to challenge the congregation to submit to God, making themselves available for His use.
Drawing from Romans 6:15-23, this message asserts that everyone is a "rule follower," and the choice is simply whose rules they will obey: the self-destructive dictates of the flesh that lead to shame and death, or the transformative lordship of God that leads to sanctification and eternal life. Pastor Josh passionately urges the audience to stop just being informed and instead embrace the spiritual transformation and instantaneous freedom available today through Christ, reckoning themselves dead to sin and alive to God.
Unlock the purpose God has for your life, even in the midst of your deepest struggles. In this message, Pastor Paul dives into Psalm 139, revealing that God knows you completely—your thoughts, your losses, and your innermost pain—because He created you as a "marvelous work" with a unique gift. Hear his raw personal testimony of growing up with a "locked up heart" and learn how your moments of immense pressure and duress, what he calls "choke points," are actually the very places God has chosen to meet you, giving you the potential to finally open up. This sermon is an invitation to embrace vulnerability, give God your brokenness in exchange for His healing at the Communion table, and join the church body in the unity and love that is meant to be a visible hope to a broken world

Pastor Paul exhorts the church to connect to one another so that WE become greater than the ME.
Just in one week, maybe you've experienced grief, joy, distraction, faith, unbelief, and many more. In order to take our experiences, week to week, and encounter the people and needs of others that God has lined up for us, we need anointing. What is it? Do you have it?
Returning from Uganda, Bishop Fred Makka proclaims truth from the Gospel of John. Consider today to get free from those grave clothes.
Happy Father’s Day. Today, we look at the three mentions of Abba in the Bible. Near the end of the Sermon, we hear a prayer and declaration from one of our own earthly fathers in the congregation, brother Mark Heller.
We are God’s workmanship, His masterpiece. We are His treasure, He hunts us down. Do you see yourself as God’s great treasure? Have you joined as His hands and feet in the great treasure hunt?
There is more than one response to the resurrection of Jesus. Listen to these from ages past. Which do you hold?
“It is finished.” John 19:20. This significant statement signifies the completion of…
Yet, what remains? Listen in now.
As it turns out, often, we don’t know what’s going on. We may be tuned-in intelligent people, smart, and yet, we still don’t see the bigger picture. Yet, everywhere we look, the world needs good news. So what movement toward God’s purpose are you making?
Consider this, “Jesus is not so concerned about getting us to heaven…” What then is the concern?
Stepping through Revelation’s church letters, Pastor Josh declares the preparation points for being a prepared Bride for Christ.

Contagious uncleanness. Contagious holiness. Come on, tell me you don’t want to listen in?
Continuing from last week's message, the clear and present reality is that hearing the Voice of God can be difficult for all Christians. This has been true in ancient days and remains true in these modern times. So, follow along in this sermon as Pastor Josh takes a practical look at recognizing the voice of God via audibility, thoughts, and sense.
John 10:27 - Jesus’ sheep hear His voice and He knows us and guides us. Is His Voice the Voice you are listening to? Are you led, instead, by a stranger? Consider this sermon on hearing God’s voice, and following Him. Be influenced by Jesus, not the Stranger.
This message is about identifying who sits on your heart’s throne. The reality is that in fasting we can miss the target. So, check your gauges. Who’s on the throne of your heart? Do I have peace in this season? As I give up this or that food, what is Jesus speaking to me?
Continuing in the Depletion Repletion series, we are pointed to this truth, “The repletion that is the Holy Spirit being poured out, comes from letting go of my agenda and taking on His.” What is poured out of you that brings new life and filling?
Depletion is reduction in the number or quantity of something. Repletion is the condition of being filled up or overcrowded. How do these two work in tandem in the context of fasting? Consider Psalm 131:2, what does it mean to calm and quiet a soul? Listen to this message to challenge your understanding and receive encouragement when you fast.
Resting in Isaiah 9:6-7, Pastor Paul entices the congregation to be with Immanuel. "This yes to God, needs to be a 'You, Father, know better than I.'" Have you considered the passage "the government will rest on his shoulders?" Does that also mean the governance of your life? How about your heart? Are there areas that are still closed? Consider that "Immanuel" is the answer to all closed doors.
It is a privilege of parents to name their children. In the prophecies of Israel, many names are given to children foretelling various events. Consider Immanuel, God is with us. Near a thousand years later, Jesus is so. In this Christmas season, consider the many names of Jesus as a declaration of witness to this world; Prince of Peace, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Wonderful.
Good tidings, the good news, the Gospel. This is God's comfort for all mankind. Have you received Him? Supernaturally we become enveloped in the Holy Spirit when we experience God's comfort. Are you in need of God's comfort? Listen in to deepen your understanding.
Today we hear from our brother Lou Dolloway. Lou tells his tale juxtaposing the journey of his jerkish self through Jesus to a man justified. How about you? Can you relate? The common denominator of every Christian Believer is how they come into a new life through Jesus! Thank you, Lou, for sharing.
Launching from Matthew 16:19, Pastor Josh helps clarify on the context of binding and loosing. Are we only reading Scripture, or are we allowing the Scriptures to read us? How is your time with the Lord, not necessarily quantity, but quality?
Continuing in the questions, “why is the Bible so Authoritative?”, Pastor Josh takes us into pain and suffering. God’s call is to stand in calm and storm. Consider this quote from Joseph Tson “95% of Christians pass the test of adversity, while 95% of Christians fail the test of prosperity.”
Join us in this testimony sermon by Loren Widrick. From accounts of healing and exorcism from travels in India, to a personal account of heaven after a missed medical procedure, Pastor Loren encourages the body to wake up the inner man and get a "jolt" from God.
Have you ever had the thought "I wish could go back..." Well, your past is not your future when Jesus gets involved. Listen to this sermon on inviting Jesus into all of your life!
Experience can be vitally important in sharing one’s faith. Coupled with the revealed, written, Word of God we have our powerhouse testimony. Yet, experience without the Authority of Scripture, leads to ruin. Listen to this sermon on setting the Bible in it’s number one place as our Authority.
We say that God is good, all the time. We say that He is in control, and that He has a plan for everything. In this we speak the truth. What of, then, the evil of this world?
At first response, the idea to put on a yoke sounds burdensome. Yet, consider this again. What if the yoke spoken of in Matthew 11:28-30 is the actual life that you were meant to live? Listen to this sermon as Pastor Paul dives into being hitched to Jesus.
Today, Pastor Josh teaches on the Shema. The Shema is that of generational unity, for you, your sons and daughters, and your grandsons and granddaughters. See Deut 6:4-9. How does Matthew 22:39-40 connect with this core Jewish belief? Listen in to hear the unity of generations.
There is a great divide between men's unrighteousness and righteousness. On the unrighteous plateau we have men and women, of the utmost evil behavior. This is all people, on equal footing - "none righteous...". On the other side we have God. Is there a bridge? Can there be reconciliation?
On the mountain top, Jesus called out to the ones He wanted to go with Him. (Mk 3:13) Do you believe this? Do you believe that anything God invites you to do with Him will bring you LIFE! How about when He calls you to speak your testimony to friends, co-workers, fellow students, or random people off-the-street. Will that also bring LIFE? Listen here and be encouraged.
God wants us to agree in oneness. When there is contradiction between brothers and sisters in the Lord, it's time to apply questions and tools to move from contradiction to complementation. Will you make the move?
In this sermon, Pastor Josh lays out four words; disease, devouring, dejection, and detachment. Would you like immunity from these? Have you noticed the word “unity” in “immunity?” This sermon tackles judgment, those unlike yourself, and derisions.
This sermon parallels the account of Joseph (Gen 41) with our own walk on earth - that our life is a part of God's plan. Deception, trickery, loss, forgiveness, redemption, laughter, leadership, these are in our lives. Listen now and let God move us in His plan.
Sometimes the one right in front of you is also the most annoying. Annoying, or broken? Consider when Jesus groaned in frustration while surrounded by so many at the tomb of His friend. Yet, what is the Holy response to those such dear ones? Listen today at how love is displayed to the one in front of us, especially the closest who might bring frustrations.
Celebration and testimony. Returning from Belize, our missionaries tell tale of God’s goodness on their YWAM trip. Following that, our summer camp youth tell of the ways God has worked in them.
Picture the journey of Joseph before he ends in prison. He's trying to do the right thing. He's on the track God has for him. He resists outright sin! Yet in prison he goes... Consider this as you listen to today's sermon on Trusting God's Plan.
We continue in this second sermon in the Fear of God series. Doesn’t the bible say to “fear not?” Yet, doesn’t the Bible also say, “the fear of the Lord is clean and pure.” “...Be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day…” “Fear the Lord…” “...the beginning of knowledge is the fear of God…” Listen here on more in this series.
Doesn’t the bible say to “fear not?” Yet, doesn’t the Bible also say, “the fear of the Lord is clean and pure.” “...Be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day…” “Fear the Lord…” “...the beginning of knowledge is the fear of God…” Dive into this series on the Fear of God.
Jesus yearns for us to be together. But what if it gets messy? Outpouring from God to us and from us to others is active as we are in relationship with others.
What is life? How best do we rest to refresh that life? When the Adversary is on our doorstep, or trouble is all about, how can we still rest? Listen in on this week's sermon on Corrective Rest.
"Today we talk about salvation!" Just for the afterlife, or for life here on earth? Is it sufficient for those with a hard heart? What role does it play in our plans, how about God's plan? Reading scripture can be fruitful, but only if it's connected to Salvation. This and more in today's sermon.
Today, Bishop Fred Makka from Uganda proclaims, "Fathers don't run away from their families!" Launching from the first commandment with promise, Exodus 20:12, we hear of the responsibilities of children to their fathers and fathers to their children. Best of all, we hear of the love of the Great Father for all!
Exhausted? Busy… all the time? Struck, at times, with the cares of all the things around you, good and frustrating? What does it mean to be in this life? What is life? In the midst of these questions, what does God have to do with any of it? Today, come to Life!
Today, Pastor Paul expresses the timeless truth that following God's plan is "better together." There are things spoken by God that only come from the brothers and sisters of our community. Yet, what is community? Furthermore, what does that community do after receiving from God? Who are their neighbors?
What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Consider those who wait until they are filled with the Holy Spirit and then they are powerful witnesses. Using the account of Peter from Luke's gospel, Pastor Josh points the believer to the great yearning of God's desire that we maintain a continuous infilling of His Holy Spirit - the power with which to do His Will, that is to love others, not in our strength, but with His.
Tune in today for testimony on this Day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit of God is loving and this is evident in each personal declaration of healing, boldness, and response! Oh! God is good, fun, and exciting. Enjoy.
Acts 2: 1-13 gives us the details of that first Pentecost. Despite all that is going on with these ancient brothers and sisters, as they wait on Jesus’ promise, they were in one accord! What cost is to pay for this same passion today?

Peace, and Happy Mother's Day.
Special speaker, Pastor Cabo from Cuba proclaims Christians are people who walk in fire! Translated by Pastor Sam Larkin, be encouraged and emblazoned by this word of God!
We are all called to be holy. We are labeled by God after we receive Jesus, thus we become holy. This is not synonymous with perfection. Enter the puppy. Consider the ways, or pitfalls, of a puppy. Contrast these ways with the ways of Jesus, the Holy One Who made us His holy one!
Continuing in a second part to the previous week, Pastor Josh tackles the heart of behavior instead of Jesus. With best intentions in mind, lines are drawn and rules are placed in the name of God, but without the heart of God. Listen to this two sided encouragement and caution.
There are ways the impurities can enter into the lives of Christians and disrupt what God wants to do. Listen to this sermon that encourages us to go deep, being watchful of such thorns, as we are truly led by the Holy Spirit. Even when that leading takes you to your fellow brother or sister in correction.
Consider this vision: a group of connected congregants committed to Christ’s body, locally, regionally, and globally. Doing stuff together, not to be busy, but because of the expression of love for one another and God. In this we go far, together.
How would our life change if we lived with Resurrection revelation deep in our hearts? Would we forgive that person who insulted us, even when they don't admit fault? Would we shoot down our right to get offended when we are genuinely hurt by another? What death can be overcome with the Life of Jesus? Listen and be challenged.
Listen now to challenge your own perspective on what the Father would like to do in both the region you live, and through you. After all, Luke 24:21: The disciples thought, and wanted, the Kingdom of God to appear immediately. Crowds of people felt the same! “Save us now, I pray” they cried. Yet, Jesus’ salvation was already at hand. It just didn’t look like what they expected.
Mark 1:9-13. Jesus is baptized and then immediately driven into the wilderness. The Holy Spirit drove Him there... why? Listen now and hear of our Savior receiving the Father's love, consecration, and anointing.
"What does it mean for me to walk with God?" Every person has to ask this question at some point. The abundant life answers this question in the deepest sense WITH Jesus, not without. Sometimes when we look in the mirror, we look at our outward appearance and begin to think life is about those imperfections. Instead, drag this mindset into Jesus' presence and listen to what He is saying.
Spring boarding from the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the House of God is commissioned to destroy the dragon of Satan's works by loving people with abandon as Jesus loves the world. In the simplest way, put aside the pacifier of "time sucking" wasters and engage the Heart of God.
Like droplets shedding from a person who rises from Baptism waters, so the old man is shed from the Believer. This old way can still be tempting, however, like a delicious looking cookie. Yet, eating of this dessert only invites trouble.
Covering some in-house business first, our pastor reviews the recent building referendum and offers all the congregation to operate in the Fruit of the Spirit as to the timing of the project. Following that is an electrifying message on serving God, not Mammon!

With utmost honor to the Holy Spirit, Pastor Josh delves into putting Jesus first over all others, including our family.

The Author and Finisher of our faith sits down at the right hand of God waiting for His enemies to become His footstool. What does this tell us about the superiority of Jesus? Listen now as Pastor Josh expounds on sections in Hebrews and also tells of the joys of a recent mission trip to Tanzania.
Drawing parallels from his early Soldiering days, Mr. Marrow outlines the benefits and responsibilities of serving as a Christian in the Lord’s Army. Just as a Soldier receives dog tags to mark identity, so a Christian receives new spiritual life reborn for new purposes. Likewise, coming under obedience to God's commandments is similar to a Soldier obeying officers and Drill Sergeants. For the Christian, this is Pride’s undoing.
REST! Burdened with an intercessory heart, Pastor Josh delivers a simple, yet powerful, word to be at peace. The body of Christ may be rife with strife at times, and we all need rest. Jesus desires to sit down in our hearts, in a place of rest. Consider this important message, to come unto Christ to find that rest, rather than anything else.
Do you mourn? Graves in our life create places of mourning. Loss of people, broken situations, or failed expectations can all lead to mourning. God desires to turn our mourning to dancing. Be challenged today to revisit such places and allow God to turn those graves into gardens.

Leaven makes its way through the whole lump. As it does, so does our human reasoning. Consider this message as Pastor Josh wakes us up to relying on the Holy Spirit instead of the leaven of our own reasoning.
In this episode, listen as Pastor Paul lays the positive foundation for expectancy while alerting us to misaligned expectations.
Communion and reverence are hand-in-hand. Jesus gave us this example in John 13 with washing the feet of 12 disciples, demonstrating deep respect for Our Father and one another. Included in this brotherhood were ones who would wrong Him. Listen now and be encouraged to do likewise with all those around you. Be in communion with reverence.
Listen this week as Pastor Paul shares the value of stepping into life with one another. Using Acts 2:42 as the foundation for fellowship, Pastor outlines joys of sharing life together. There may be conflict, if so, engage in love. There will be vulnerability; confession brings healing. There will be fellowship; break bread, pray, and continue steadfastly with one another. In all of this, it's better together.
This week Pastor Josh takes us to 1 Cor 11:17-22, the most extensive discourse on communion. The key to this passage is for Apostle Paul to correct myriad divisions among the church body so that unity flourishes. Now, listen to the Word as you consider your heart and the unity among those around you.
Better together. "If the church exists for anything, the church exists to be the body of Christ. [Christians] are to share in the life of Jesus in coming together as parts of Him to manifest His glory on the Earth." Listen to this vital word on the importance of forming or being a part of a small community of Believers!

Beginning with communion commission and encouragement, Pastor Josh and Pastor Paul launch us into this sermon’s focus - vision. “Vision is God’s good pleasure being done in this region, just as it is in Heaven. Vision, when you have it, causes you to see something that is not there yet.” Listen now to the rest of this message, part four of Pastor Josh’s series on Taking the Land.
“It is your God given destiny to DO what HE wants you to DO.” Consider this declaration from Pastor Josh. “We get so caught up in the situation… yet we want to take the keys the Father has given us and not think! we have the keys that He’s given us.” Listen now, as Pastor Josh expands this proclamation.
Consecration, according to Pastor Josh, is "receiving in my heart my identity as sacred to God, and therefore living life as sacred to God." Today, Pastor Josh outlines, through personal testimony, what it means to lay self down by the intimacy and Grace of Jesus. The time for consecration is NOW!
Grace is a "broad spectrum" word. It covers a lot of things. Hear then how you may be a scoundrel, today, but you are closer to God than you think. By His Amazing Grace, repentance, faith, and closeness to God is right at your door!

Today’s teaching has additional subtitles: Peter, the great hope for the dysfunctional, the extremist, the angry, the arrogant… Pastor Cheryl identifies her life’s testimony with Peter’s successes and failures.

Where do we go to receive our comfort? We have deadlines to meet, kids to tend, tests to study for, medical illnesses, trials, and troubles.

“For He made Him, Who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” 2nd Corinthians 5:21 declares this Great Exchange.

You don’t have to take decades to receive this. Act today, for the Great Exchange has been made!
“When we realize how much Jesus loves us, then we can love the way He wants us to.” Today’s message from Romans 5:8 has a simple revelation. “If I have the slightest bit of an issue with a brother or sister, I’m not loving him [Jesus] with my whole heart. There is still a fracture [in the heart] that [Jesus] hasn’t ministered to.” Pastor Josh reiterates this as he continues the series “Love the One in Front of Me.”
Expectations and perspective are drawn upon as Pastor Josh looks into Thomas’ reaction to Jesus’ resurrection as found in John 20. At times we are people who put an expectation on how God should move. Instead, let us untether those expectations in exchange for faith in Jesus, unchained from past experience but rooted in the love and words of Christ.
Pastor Paul declares, “Let the real you out!” The real you is that person who is tapped into the Living Well of Jesus. Jesus is the bubbling-up flow of Life Who quenches all thirst. Why go one more day dehydrated? Instead, engage with Jesus and partake, becoming “that ever flowing spring.”
Continuing a series titled “Love the One in Front of Me,” Pastor Josh uses a film clip to accentuate the difference of one who does not know she’s been chosen, from the same one who shines after she believes she is cherished. Now let us ALL love the one in front of us by telling them the Love of Jesus!
“I am what I am.” Are you? How does this phrase filter through the Lord? Listen now as Pastor Paul offers perspective on “I am what I am…”

Rolling through both old and new testament, Pastor Paul draws out the truth, need, and encouragement to guard our hearts by accepting God's love for us. Troubles will come to divert and divide, yet, as Psalm 86:11 declares, let us walk with an undivided heart that we fulfill the mission of God to love Him and love people.
Join ACF for a Baptism celebration and communion after the message. Today, Pastor Josh preaches on loving the one in front of you!
