What's going on at ACC?

This week’s message centers on Psalm 33 and the idea that faith is a dialogue—a back-and-forth between God and His people. Just as the Psalms themselves are structured like the five books of Moses, they reflect how Israel remembered God’s powerful acts and responded with worship, trust, and obedience.

Join us as Collin brings a powerful Thanksgiving message reminding us of the heart of the season: gratitude grounded in the grace of God. As we head into a week of family gatherings, full tables, and grateful hearts, he took us deep into Ephesians 2 to remind us where true thanksgiving begins. Thanksgiving isn’t just a holiday — it’s a lifestyle filled with awe for the mercy God has shown us.

In “Wisdom That Walks,” Collin Brennan continues our series in the book of James, exploring the heart behind conflict and the source of true wisdom. James challenges us to look beyond surface disagreements and examine what’s really driving our words and actions. Is it jealousy? Pride? Selfish ambition? Or is it a humble spirit rooted in God’s wisdom?

In a world where battles rage all around us—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally—it’s easy to feel unarmed. But Scripture reminds us that “the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4). God has equipped His people with everything we need to stand firm, overcome fear, and live victoriously through Christ.

Guest speaker Rick Cunningham shares a powerful message from Genesis 3 titled “I Did It My Way.” Adam and Eve’s choice to trust their own way over God’s led from Eden’s delight to the pain of exile. This message challenges us to examine our own hearts and ask: Will we do it God’s way—or ours? Watch the full service, dive deeper with the Genesis 3 reading plan, and join us next Sunday for Week 3 of the James series.

What does it really mean to have living faith? This week, Pastor Collin Brennan unpacks James 2:14–26, showing us that genuine faith naturally overflows into action. It’s not about earning salvation—it’s about letting faith in Jesus transform the way we live, love, and serve.

Steadfast in the Storm — Life’s storms are inevitable, but how we respond reveals the depth of our faith. This Sunday’s message encourages us to stand firm, trust God’s promises, and let perseverance shape our character. Discover biblical truths from the Book of James that equip you to remain unwavering when trials come.

God created us to be in relationship with Him. He is personal, the source of life, gives us boundaries for our good, and established marriage between one man and one woman.

Join us as Ps Rick Cunningham explores Genesis 1:1–2:3—God as the sole Creator who speaks light into darkness, orders time, and declares His work good. From the forming of the world to the Sabbath rest, creation reveals His power, wisdom, and love. Wherever you’re joining from, lean in, worship with us, and consider the God who not only made everything, but invites you to know Him personally through Jesus. He made you on purpose and for a purpose—find hope and new beginnings

Resentment is understandable when we’ve been hurt, but it is also deadly—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Through David’s encounters with Shimei, we learn the courage to forgive instead of striking back, the grace to release bitterness, and the reminder that forgiveness is not a one-time event but a continual process. Jesus calls us to forgive as we’ve been forgiven, letting go of poison and walking in freedom.

Bathsheba was pregnant. Uriah was dead. And David, the king, was responsible. But the turning point wasn’t in the sin itself—it came when God, in His mercy, sent Nathan to confront David. Sometimes we must lovingly confront others. Sometimes we must humbly accept correction. Join us as Pastor Jamie Allen shows how accountability, repentance, and forgiveness lead us back to God’s heart.

Lesson #2 (August 10, 2025) – Facing Giants Text: 1 Samuel 17:4 – 51 We look at a great section of the Bible, not just because it’s an exciting story, but because there are important lessons about how we can face giants. We don’t face them often, but we all face threatening giants at times. When we do, it will be a turning point for us. Will we have courage, or will we be cowards? Will we show faith or fear?

In today’s message, Accepting the Call, Pastor Jamie Allen begins our new series David: Turning Points with the story of David’s anointing in 1 Samuel 16. God didn’t choose the tallest or the strongest—He chose a shepherd with a heart for Him. We’re reminded that God often calls ordinary people in unexpected ways. Will you recognize His whisper? Will you answer the call that could change everything?

Join us in August for David: Turning Points, the final sermon series by Pastor Jamie Allen at ACC. Each week explores a pivotal moment in King David’s life—moments of calling, courage, failure, compassion, and forgiveness. David wasn’t perfect, but he had a heart for God. Discover how his story can help you navigate life’s turning points with faith, humility, and hope. Sundays at 10 AM at Ashland Church of Christ.

This Sunday, we continued our “Essentials” series with a message on Confess. Pastor Jamie Allen unpacked Romans 10:9 and reminded us that confession isn’t just speaking words—it’s declaring with boldness that Jesus is Lord. We explored why confession matters, how it transforms our lives, and what it means to live out our faith in word and action. True confession is both a surrender and a testimony to the world.

In today’s message, Repent, Pastor Jamie Allen showed us that belief is just the beginning—true faith leads to repentance. We explored how repentance means more than feeling sorry; it’s conviction, contrition, and real change. Through the healing in Acts 3 and Peter’s bold message, we were reminded that repentance brings forgiveness, refreshment, and freedom. Don’t just believe—turn, and be transformed.

Each week explores a foundational step in the Christian walk: Believe, Repent, Confess, Be Baptized. Discover what really matters and how to grow in your faith. Series begins Sunday, July 6 at 10 AM. Don’t miss it!

In Part 1 of our series From Purpose to Presence, Collin Brennan shared how the stories of Rahab and Zacchaeus reveal God's plan across generations. Both were unlikely people in unlikely places—yet God used them in powerful ways. Even the tree Zacchaeus climbed was part of the plan! This message reminds us that God is always working, and each of us has a role to play. Are you ready to take the next step of faith?
