Acts 10:1–48
In Acts 10, God shows Peter that the gospel of Jesus Christ is for every person. Jesus is Lord of all, and everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.

This message calls us to trust Christ, love people beyond our usual boundaries, and share the good news with those God places in our lives.

Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
“Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” — Acts 10:43

IDX Youth Group
IDX stands for Identity in Christ. The “X” represents the cross and reminds us that our true identity is found in Jesus Christ not in popularity, performance, social media, or what others say about us.
IDX is a place for students to have fun, build friendships, ask honest questions, and grow in their faith.
This Week’s Lesson: When Friends Hurt You
Friendships can be great, but they can also be hard. This week, students will look at Ephesians 4:25–32 and learn how to respond when someone hurts them—with truth, kindness, forgiveness, and wisdom.
Our big idea: Because Jesus forgave us, we can respond to friendship conflict with truth, kindness, and forgiveness.
Students will also receive a five-day Bible study to continue the conversation at home.

“IDX stands for Identity in Christ. The X represents the cross, and it also reminds us of the Greek letter Chi, the first letter in Christos the Greek word for Christ.” Christ=Christos=Χριστοˊς

Who Was I to Stand in God’s Way?
Acts 11:1–18
God’s grace reaches farther than our assumptions. In Acts 11, the early church learns to rejoice as God brings people from every background to repentance and new life through Jesus Christ.
Join us this Sunday as we consider this powerful question: Are we willing to celebrate what God is doing even when it stretches our comfort zone?
Visit our church website to read the Prepare Your Heart for Sunday guide, explore the Scriptures, and pray over the message before worship.

Join us this Sunday as we continue our study through Acts with a message titled “Jesus Is Lord of All” from Acts 10:1–48.

God showed Peter that the good news of Jesus Christ is for everyone. No background, past, or barrier can prevent anyone from receiving forgiveness and new life through faith in Christ.

Take a few minutes this week to read Acts 10:1–48 and prepare your heart for worship. Visit our church website for the full “Prepare Your Heart for Sunday” guide, Scripture readings, and prayer prompts.
Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
“Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” — Acts 10:43

This Sunday, we will continue our journey through the Book of Acts. In the verses immediately before this passage, Saul later known as Paul has been dramatically saved and has begun preaching that Jesus is the Son of God. The church, which had experienced persecution and uncertainty, now has a seaso...

in Acts 9:32–43 we see Jesus working through Peter to bring hope, healing, and new life. We will be reminded that Jesus sees our needs, calls us to serve others with practical love, and invites us to depend on Him through prayer.

Join us for our Fellowship Wednesday Night Bible Study: “Genuine Faith: Lessons from Simon the Sorcerer.”

In Acts 8:9–25, we learn that true faith is more than knowing about God or being impressed by His power. Genuine salvation comes through trusting Jesus Christ and is shown by a heart that repents, grows, and follows Him.
