What's going on at ACC?

As Paul continues his letter to the Colossians, he shifts from what Christ has done for us to how we are called to live because of it. Through Jesus, we have been raised to a new life, one that is no longer defined by our past, our sin, or our failures. Instead, we are called to put away the old self and put on the character of Christ.

Rules may control behavior, but they cannot transform the heart. In Colossians 2:16-23, Pastor Collin Brennan reminds us that true spiritual growth comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ, not through legalism, religious performance, or man-made rules. Only Christ can change us from the inside out.

Paul reminds us in Colossians that life in Christ is not about religion, rules, or trying harder—it is about being made completely new through Jesus.

In Revelation 4 and 5, John is taken into the throne room of heaven where all of creation worships God alone. Pastor Rick Cunningham reminds us that worship is not just singing on Sundays—it is a life fully centered on God.

Pastor Collin reminds us that the mission of the church is not complicated—but it is costly: we are called to live, serve, and stand firm in Christ.

Pastor Collin reminds us of a truth that is both simple and life-changing: Jesus is enough.

Ps. Rick Cunningham walks us through Jesus’ letters to the seven churches in Book of Revelation, reminding us that these words are not just for them—they are for the Church today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
