This morning, we continued into the story of the early church in the Book of Acts and explored how the first believers broke through cultural, social, and spiritual barriers to spread the Gospel. In this message, we looked at how God used ordinary people, radical obedience, and the power of the Holy Spirit to build a unified community in a divided world. As we unpacked these moments from Acts, we were challenged to examine the barriers in our own lives and consider how God may be calling us to step out in faith, love boldly, and live on mission today

Yesterday we dove into our Acts Series: Part II with Austin Presnell at The Beloved Church

Saul’s story reminds us that transformation doesn’t start with our past being erased, but with God’s voice being obeyed in our lives. In the middle of shame, brokenness, and the questions of others, Saul wasn’t defined by who he had been or what people assumed about him. He was defined by what God said to him and about him: a chosen instrument, called to carry Christ’s name, even through suffering. The same question stands before us: are we being shaped by what God has spoken over us, or by what we and others keep saying about us?

On Sunday at The Beloved Church, Pastor Austin Presnell invited us into the deep and tender truth that the Light has come into our world through Jesus, even as we live in the tension between promise and fulfillment. With hearts turned toward hope and expectation, this sermon gently reminds us that the light of Christ isn’t just a distant promise—but a present reality that meets us in our shadows, our questions, and our longing for something more. Through Scripture and reflection, we’re encouraged to let this light shape how we see ourselves, our neighbors, and the world around us. Wherever you are on your journey—waiting, wondering, or worshiping—may this message help you receive and reflect the light that has already come, bringing peace, clarity, and renewed hope

In this message from The Beloved Church, Austin Presnell reflects on the hope found in Christ—the kind of hope that shines steadily, even in seasons of uncertainty, weariness, or waiting. As Scripture points us again to Jesus as the Light of the world, we’re reminded that hope is not wishful thinking, but a confident trust rooted in who God is and what He has promised. This sermon invites us to lift our eyes, allow God’s light to meet us where we are, and let His hope awaken faith, endurance, and expectation in our hearts. Wherever you find yourself today, may this message encourage you to rest in the coming light and walk forward with renewed hope.

In this message, Austin tackled one of the most difficult questions people struggle with: Why does God allow suffering? Austin walked through the reality of pain in our world and explained how suffering enters our lives not because God delights in it, but because we live in a fallen creation marked by brokenness and human freedom. Yet even in the middle of that brokenness, God remains sovereign, present, and actively working for redemption. We learn how suffering can deepen our dependence on God, shape our character, and open our hearts to the needs of others. Most importantly, it reminds us that God is not distant from our pain, Jesus stepped into human suffering Himself, showing that we serve a God who understands, carries, and ultimately transforms our sorrow. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about hardship, grief, or the goodness of God, we pray that this message offers hope, clarity, and encouragement for your journey. _______________________________________ Learn more about The Beloved Church: https://www.belovedgr.church/ Subscribe to The Beloved Church | / @belovedgr.church Follow us on Instagram | / thebelovedchrch Follow us on Facebook | / thebelovedchurch Helping the next generation fall in love with Jesus. #TheBelovedChurch #AustinPresnell

Can we really trust the Bible? Toran Scott from The Local Church dives into the evidence. From Historical accuracy, ancient manuscripts, and real-world relevance, Toran uses this to show why Scripture stands the test of time. This message invites you to wrestle with doubt, ask hard questions, and discover how the Bible’s story can still shape your life today. Why can we trust it? If we’re going to base our entire life and submit to The Bible, how can we be certain that it is reliable?

There are some questions in life we don’t think twice about asking — What’s for dinner? What’s the weather? But then there are others we quietly wonder and rarely voice. What is the Bible, really? Can we trust it? What did Jesus Himself say about Scripture? In week one of our series “I’m KindAfraid to Ask,” we explore what the Bible truly is and why it still matters today. The truth is, God’s Word isn’t afraid to speak clearly into the very questions we’re often too afraid to ask. The real question is — will we listen? Join us as we dive in these next few weeks. _______________________________________ Learn more about The Beloved Church: https://www.belovedgr.church/ Subscribe to The Beloved Church | / @belovedgr.church Follow us on Instagram | / thebelovedchrch Follow us on Facebook | / thebelovedchurch Helping the next generation fall in love with Jesus. #TheBelovedChurch #AustinPresnell
