Sean Thome speaking during the August 2 Sunday message

Equipping one another to practice the compassion of Jesus every day.

Our Mission

Ephesians 4:11–13  ·  Matthew 9:35–38  ·  1 Peter 3:8

August 2 Sunday’s Message · Acts 8

The Gospel Advances

Sean Thome continued Empowered Witnesses through Acts 8, following the gospel into Samaria and into Philip’s encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch. We are invited to live as everyday witnesses—showing and sharing the love of Jesus, noticing where God is already at work, and responding faithfully wherever he sends us.
