Filled with the Spirit, Pointing to Jesus
Acts 2:14-41
Teacher: Pastor Matt Pierson
Date: February 22, 2026

In Acts 2, we witness the powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit as Jesus fills His followers gathered in Jerusalem. Then Peter—once the fearful disciple who denied Jesus—stands up, filled with the Spirit, and boldly proclaims the gospel.
What transformed Peter from frightened fisherman to fearless apostle? The same Holy Spirit who breathed new life into him now lives in us. As Charles Spurgeon said, without the Spirit, “we are as ships without wind, or like coals without fire.”
Join Pastor Matt this Sunday as we explore what it means to be filled with the Spirit and to live lives that point to Jesus.

The Holy Spirit: God With Us, In Us, and Through Us
Acts 2:1-13
Teacher: Pastor Jim Thomas
Date: February 15, 2026

Acts 2 is noisy, visual, disruptive, astonishing and historically pivotal. What does the Bible mean by phrases like: the outpouring of the Spirit, the baptism of the Spirit, being filled with the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit? And why was the coming of the Spirit so decisive in the rapid, unstoppable spread of the gospel in the first century?

In Acts 2:1–13 we are taken to the Day of Pentecost—when the risen and exalted Lord Jesus poured out the promised Holy Spirit on His people. This was not just a religious pep rally; it was the fulfillment of God’s ancient promises and the moment when the church was empowered for its global mission.

Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through this amazing passage to see how the Holy Spirit is God with us, God within us, and God working through us to make Christ known to the nations.

The Lord Reigns
Acts 1:9-26
Teacher: Pastor Tommy Bailey
Date: February 8, 2026

The Ascension is perhaps among the least considered aspects of the work of Jesus, yet it is a decisive turning point in the history of God’s redemptive work. In Acts 1:9–26, Jesus is exalted above all rule and authority as the Lord of all. His Ascension is not his absence, but the moment that sets the table for the outpouring of his Spirit upon all who call on His name.

Join Pastor Tommy as we consider why the Ascension matters, how it reshapes the life of the Church, and the sure hope it gives us as we place our trust in the Lord who reigns now and will one day return.

The Communion of Saints
Isaiah 43:1-3a
Teacher: Pastor Matt Pierson
Date: February 1, 2026

What do you do when you are in a very difficult situation? What does an entire community do when they are faced with a difficult situation? Where is God when we encounter hardships? Are we left on our own, or do we encounter God’s presence even when we feel like we are in the valley of the shadow of death? Join Pastor Matt as we study through the first few verses of Isaiah 43, and we are reminded of the God who is there for us, and we are encouraged to take part in the Communion of Saints.

On Your Marks, Get Set, Wait!
Acts 1:1-8
Pastor Jim Thomas
January 18, 2026

Before the church moved forward, Jesus told them to stop. Before the mission began, He commanded them to wait.

The book of Acts opens not with strategy, speed, or self-confidence—but with a risen Lord who insists that His people do nothing until they are clothed with power from on high.

Join Pastor Jim for an introduction to the book of the Acts of the Apostles and the opening eight verses as he explores why waiting does not have to be wasted time; why the Spirit—not human effort—is the engine of the mission, and how God still moves His people onto mission with the presence and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Anchored in God’s Word
Psalm Psalm 119:145-176

The Village Chapel - 01/11/2026

Psalm 119 ends the way an authentic Christian life is often lived, not neat and tidy, but with honesty and hope. Cries for help mingle with praise, confidence gives way to confession, and with humility the psalmist recognizes his need for grace while clinging to the sturdy truth of God’s promises.

Join Pastor Tommy as we see how God’s Word anchors us to reality by revealing who God is, who we are in Christ, and where we are headed for eternity.

Where do you turn when you feel the pressure of a "double-minded" world, or when your own heart feels weary? As we begin a new year, we often look for ways to improve our lives through resolutions, but the psalmist in Psalm 119:113-144 points us toward a more certain, life-giving trajectory: a resolute devotion to the Word of God.

Join us as we continue our verse-by-verse journey through Psalm 119. In this teaching, Pastor Tom Yarbrough explores how to cultivate a hearty spiritual appetite for the truth. Through these ancient stanzas, we discover that God is our hiding place and our shield, offering a strong defense when we feel under attack or uncertain. Learn how the well-tried promises of Scripture provide a steady footing and a hope that will never be put to shame.

The Certain Word in an Uncertain World
Psalm 119: 81-112

The Village Chapel - 12/28/2025

Where do you turn when your world is in chaos, you can’t find your footing, everything seems uncertain, and finding a way forward is unclear?

Psalm 119:81–112 invites us to a more certain, steadier, proper confidence—not confidence in ourselves, but confidence in the God who speaks and in His Word to us. Through our longings and afflictions, as we seek comfort, wisdom and guidance, this ancient song reveals the unshakable certainties of God’s Word. In a world of competing truths and shifting values, discover the sure and certain Word from the God Who speaks—and how His Word remains a lamp for our feet and a light for our path.
