October 6, 2024 | Engaging Daily with Scripture

Pastor Aaron Graham |  Washington DC
 
The Bible is the best selling book of all time. We have more access to the Bible in more translations than ever before. We can read the Bible anytime, anywhere, and there are endless bible study tools to help us understand it. And yet most people don’t engage with Scripture daily and are honestly pretty biblically illiterate? Why is that and what are the consequences? I’ll share with you today about a study called the Power of 4 - that discovered the power of engaging with Scripture at least 4 times a week. We’ll be in the Acts 2 today as we talk about Engaging Daily with Scripture.

September 29, 2024 | Celebrating in Worship

Pastor Kevin Nderitu | Washington DC
 
What is worship? And when should we worship? The scriptures quotes the early church as worshiping in gladness and sincerity and that made such an impact to them and those around them. They didn’t just gather for worship on Sundays, and they definitely didn’t live out their faith in isolation. They came together daily—worshiping and living their faith out loud with a deep joy and sincerity. Their worship wasn’t confined to a temple or special location. It flowed into their homes, around their tables, and through their relationships.
 
Scripture: Acts 2:46-47

September 22, 2024 | How to Share the Best Story Ever Told

Pastor Aaron Graham | Washington DC
 
Everyone loves a good story. Perhaps this is because stories have been the primary way humans have preserved history; by capturing people’s attention through strong storytelling. How can we tell the greatest story, the literal death and resurrection of the Son of God, more frequently and impactfully?
Scripture: Acts 1:1-11

September 8, 2024 | Baptism Sunday: Raised to Life

Pastor Aaron Graham | Washington DC
 
Baptism is the public mark of a Christian’s repentance from sin, trust in Christ as Savior, and commitment to following him as Lord. Baptism is not a suggestion for the Church, it is a command from Jesus’s own words.
