Acts Sermon Series
Discover how the gospel spread through ordinary people empowered by an extraordinary God.
In this sermon series on Acts in the Bible, Pastor Marty and the Calvary Church teaching team walk through the explosive beginnings of the early Church. What started in Jerusalem grew into a global movement — through prayer, miracles, persecution, and bold witness. As we follow the apostles and early believers, we’ll uncover Acts in the Bible to reveal timeless truths about faith, mission, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
This journey through the Book of Acts will challenge us to live with boldness today, right where we are.

Why Acts Still Matters Today
The world around us is constantly shifting, but the mission of the Church remains the same. The Book of Acts is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago, acting as a blueprint for what God can do through everyday people filled with the Holy Spirit.
When the Church in Acts faced persecution, they prayed harder. When they encountered need, they gave generously. When they were scattered, they preached boldly. And God moved.
Today, we’re invited into that same movement.

Today, we’re invited into that same movement.
At Calvary Church, this study of Acts inspires us to:
- Pray without fear
- Love without limits
- Share the gospel without hesitation
Because we know who God is — and what He’s still doing — we live boldly and go wherever He leads. The mission hasn’t changed.
