The Jesus Church: Finding the Church of Jesus in the Book of Acts | Donovan Rillion | The Mission-Minded Church

Antioch gave away their very best for the mission—and the Gospel spread through the whole region. In this message from Acts 13, we look at what it means to be a mission-minded church: one that knows whose it is, seeks God, and sends. The question for us is simple: will we do the same?

The Jesus Church: Finding the Church of Jesus in the Book of Acts | Donovan Rillion | The Faithful Church

When pressure comes, how does the church respond? In Acts 12, real pressure comes. But the church doesn't panic or pick up swords, they pray! This week we find that a faithful church holds up under pressure not because the pressure lets up, but because of what it's made of: prayer, and a dependence on God and one another — FAITH!

The Jesus Church: Finding the Church of Jesus in the Book of Acts | Donovan Rillion | The Barrier Breaking Church

When Jesus came to earth, His mission was to bring salvation to people—and that meant breaking down barriers. Not only in His own work, but in the continuing work of His Church. Today we look at the example of Peter and the early church in Acts 10 and ask: "Who are the Gentiles around us who still need the Gospel?" and "What barriers still need to be broken down?"

The Jesus Church: Finding the Church of Jesus in the Book of Acts | Donovan Rillion | The Unlikely Church

This week in The Jesus Church, we meet Saul on the road to Damascus — a man breathing threats against the church, the last person anyone expected God to use. Yet Christ stopped him and called him a chosen instrument. In Acts 9, we're reminded that no one is beyond the reach of grace, and God still calls the most unexpected people to declare His glory.

The Jesus Church: Finding the Church of Jesus in the Book of Acts | Donovan Rillion | The Obedient Church

Obedience is easy when it costs nothing. But what do you do when it costs everything? This week in "The Jesus Church" series we look at Acts 5 — and what it looks like to obey God when the stakes are real.

The Jesus Church: Finding the Church of Jesus in the Book of Acts | Donovan Rillion | The Generous Church

Generosity isn't a giving program or a guilt trip — it's a symptom of the Spirit moving in God's people. This week in Acts 4-5, we look at what it means to be a church that gives not to look good, but to meet real needs, fuel the mission, and bear fruit that actually feeds people.

The Jesus Church: Finding the Church of Jesus in the Book of Acts | Donovan Rillion | The Bold Church

What if the church operated like we have nothing to lose? The Apostles, specifically Peter and John in Acts 3-4, stood in front of the men who murdered Jesus — and didn't flinch. They, and the church, prayed for boldness. And when God showed up, nothing could stop them. The Bold Church isn't some relic of the first century. It's what we're supposed to be — and this week we ask what it would look like if we actually lived that way.

The Jesus Church: Finding the Church of Jesus in the Book of Acts | Donovan Rillion | The Spirit-Empowered Church

The Church began with the Spirit’s power, not human effort. Acts 2 shows a community shaped by devotion, generosity, and real connection—and reminds us: we can’t create the fire, but we can stack the wood.

The Jesus Way: Finding the Way of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke | Donovan Rillion | The Blessed Way

What do you do when the greatest person you've ever known walks out of your life? The disciples faced that exact moment when Jesus ascended into heaven. But their response wasn't grief. It was joy and blessing. In this final scene of Luke's Gospel, we unpack why Jesus' departure was actually a good thing for them — and what it means for us today.

The Jesus Way: Finding the Way of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke | Donovan Rillion | The Empowered Way

What if your problem isn't that you need to try harder — but that you're running on the wrong power source? From Luke 24, we explore the Holy Spirit's role in empowering followers of Jesus to actually live and testify the way He called us to.
