JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH | NEW TESTAMENT | BODY OF CHRIST | KOINONIA | FAMILY | ONE-ANOTHER | ACTS

Jesus gave His life to build His church, not just a weekly religious gathering or a building, but a family of people devoted to one-another in love and humility. It’s about more than just coming and watching a performance, more even than just serving and getting involved – it’s about living a life connected with others, where we each lay our own desires down for others. And as we live this way, the world will see and be drawn to Jesus.

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH | NEW TESTAMENT | BODY OF CHRIST | HISTORY | MISSIONARIES | REFORMATION | ACTS

Missionaries vs Cannibals! Teachers vs Tyrants! Preachers vs Pioneers! Jesus promised that He came to change everything. He wasn’t joking. You need to hear these incredible true stories of men and women of God throughout history who did the seemingly impossible and saw darkness, injustice, evil, and tyranny flee before the spread of the Gospel. “I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail” – Matthew 16:18

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH | NEW TESTAMENT | BODY OF CHRIST | HISTORY | GLADIATORS | SLAVERY | ACTS

Though the church has been anything but perfect, as the Kingdom of God has expanded throughout history, God has used normal people like you and I to invade the darkness and bring light. Follow along today as we look at some of the men and women God has used to overthrow injustice and evil throughout the generations, particularly in combating the violence of the Roman Gladiator fights and the evils of slavery. And if He could do as much in their day, what will He do in ours?

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH | NEW TESTAMENT | HELL | BODY OF CHRIST | BLESSING | HISTORY

In a world ruined by sin and the power of the enemy, God has one answer to solve the world’s problems – the church, His people, filled with His Spirit and shining as lights in a dark world. That’s not arrogance or pride, just the reality of our calling in the Bible and the historical facts. Throughout history, despite our mistakes and weaknesses, the church has been an immeasurable force for good, bringing God’s blessing to the earth wherever it advances. And as that church moves forward, person by person, the gates of hell don’t stand a chance.

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH | NEW TESTAMENT | SALT | LIGHT | MATTHEW 5:13 | MATTHEW 5:14-16

While our culture has become increasingly antagonistic toward the church, the church in many ways has retreated from our high calling to be salt and light. Rather than bringing restoration, hope, and light into dark places, we’ve surrendered to the critics, stood back in timidity, and complained about the problems instead of fixing them. It’s time we as the church stop holding back in fear and selfishness. It’s time to step into our calling and bring healing and hope to a world in despair.

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH | NEW TESTAMENT | POWER | PRIESTS | TEMPLE OF GOD | BODY OF CHRIST | TRUTH

Rather than being simply another meeting to go to, the church as God envisioned it is the hope of the world. We are called as the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit of God Himself dwells. We are the body of Christ, a mystical, miraculous union of God and mankind, carrying the authority of God because we are united with God. We are the pillar and foundation of truth, a kingdom of priests, making the wisdom of God known to the world.

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH | NEW TESTAMENT | ACTS | LOVE | UNITY | HISTORY | ACTS 2:42-47 | ACTS 4:32-35

Your conception of the church is wrong. That’s a bold statement, but I think it’s most likely true. When Jesus died and rose again, He hinged all His plans of conquering the kingdom of darkness and spreading love throughout the planet on one thing – the church. As He envisioned it, the church is more than just a 90-minute religious interest group where people go to be entertained or encouraged. The church was meant to be the most compelling movement ever conceived, a family of transformed people who transform the world. Anything less is a cheap imitation.
