What's going on at ACC?

In this message from Colossians 1, we see that the gospel doesn’t just save us—it transforms us. A life rooted in Christ produces faith, love, endurance, and real, visible growth.

After choosing to follow Jesus, what comes next? In Now What?, Pastor Collin Brennan looks at Acts 2 and shows how a life of devotion—through God’s Word, fellowship, communion, and prayer—is the foundation of a growing faith.

On Friday, darkness covered the land. The earth shook. Hope seemed lost. Saturday brought silence. The waiting. The wondering. But Sunday changed everything. What looked like defeat… was never the end. The stone was rolled away.

As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowd celebrated Him as King. They laid down cloaks, praised His miracles, and welcomed Him with joy. Yet many of those same people misunderstood who He truly was. They were looking for a political savior—a conquering king on a warhorse—not a humble Lord who would go to the cross.

Join us on Sunday, March 22 at Ashland Church of Christ for a special evening of fellowship and worship during this Lenten season.

Following Jesus isn’t about comfort—it’s about surrender. Many want a Savior, but fewer are willing to follow a Lord.

Pastor Rick Cunningham teaches from Revelation 1:4–20, reminding the church that while the kingdoms of this world rise and fall, God’s Kingdom and the church of Jesus Christ endure forever. Throughout history, governments and empires collapse, yet the church continues to stand because it belongs to God.

Join us Friday, April 3 from 6:00–6:30 PM at Ashland Church of Christ for a Good Friday service with hymns and a message led by Pastor Collin Brennan as we remember the sacrifice of Jesus.

What does it truly mean to make Jesus Lord of your life?

As we enter March and continue our Bible in a Year journey, Pastor Collin reminded us that spiritual growth often happens in seasons that feel slow or challenging. When reading difficult passages — especially in the Old Testament — we are encouraged not to rush, but to ask why. Every law, instruction, and detail reveals something about God’s character, His holiness, and His purpose for His people.

Revelation 1:1–3 tells us that this message is inspired by God, centered on Jesus Christ, and meant to be read, heard, and kept. There is a blessing promised not merely to those who study it, but to those who live it.

In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul reminds us that no matter how gifted, knowledgeable, or sacrificial we are, without love it all means nothing. Love isn’t an extra quality added onto faith — it is the foundation that gives everything meaning.

Pastor Collin Brennan reminds us that true joy is not found in favorable circumstances but in a deep, abiding relationship with Christ. As the new year begins—often carrying the same struggles from the year before—Paul’s words challenge us to rethink what joy really means.

Joy Found in Christ continues our journey through Philippians by drawing a clear distinction between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him. Paul reminds the church that joy is not rooted in achievements, religious credentials, or outward obedience, but in a living, ongoing relationship with Christ.

True joy isn’t found in comfort or circumstances, but in a humble heart anchored in Christ. As Paul writes from prison, he shows that pride quietly robs us of joy and unity, while humility restores both.

As we step into a new year, Pastor Collin Brennan opened a new sermon series in the book of Philippians with a powerful reminder: joy is not rooted in circumstances, but in Christ. Drawing from Paul’s imprisonment in Rome, we see a faith that refuses to be shaken by hardship.

As we closed out the year, Pastor Collin Brennan invited our church family to reflect on a simple but urgent question: Are we ready? Following Christmas and on the edge of a new year, this message looked not backward, but forward—to the promise of Christ’s return. Drawing from Isaiah 62 and Matthew 25, Pastor Collin walked us through Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins, reminding us that spiritual readiness isn’t about appearances—it’s about what’s burning within.

For generations, Israel lived under Roman occupation—oppressed, heavily taxed, and longing for God to intervene. Into that darkness, God unfolded His meticulous plan of redemption. In Luke 2, we are reminded that the waiting was not in vain.

Collin Brennan brings an encouraging message titled “Help Is on the Way.” As we move from Thanksgiving toward Christmas, we’re reminded that God specializes in comeback stories—both in Scripture and in our everyday lives.

Sunday, December 7th, Billy Willis from Youth Alive as our guest speaker. Billy will be bringing a powerful and timely message titled “Compassion”, rooted in Matthew 9:36–38.
