In this message, we explore the story of the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, examining how early believers navigated deep conflict and cultural shifts within the church.1Key topics include:The Nature of Conflict: Why "certain people problems" are a normal, albeit challenging, part of community growth.Navigating Change: Understanding what to keep from the past and what to leave behind as the mission evolves.The Power of Conversation: How the Jerusalem Council demonstrates that holy, transformative dialogue is central to the life of the church.Grace and Inclusion: A look at the paradigm shift that expanded the circle of belonging, prioritizing grace over legalism.Bobbi also shares updates on the upcoming Marda Loop Commons launch and current community life at Commons Church.

In Acts 13, the spotlight shifts from Jerusalem to Antioch—a diverse, unexpected community where the Holy Spirit is doing something entirely new. From former outsiders and unlikely leaders to the commissioning of Paul and Barnabas, this chapter reveals a church that chooses mission over comfort, creativity over control, and expansion over preservation.In this message, we explore how God's grace continually pushes the church beyond its assumptions, why the most transformative movements often emerge from the margins, and what it means to trust the Spirit enough to send our best into the unknown.Whether you're navigating change, wrestling with tradition, or discerning what's next, Acts 13 reminds us that the future of God's kingdom has always belonged to communities willing to follow where the Spirit leads. ★ Support this podcast ★
How does faith change us over time?In Acts 10, Peter encounters a vision that challenges everything he thought he knew about who belongs, who is welcome, and how God works in the world. As he meets Cornelius—a Roman centurion and outsider to Israel's covenant story—the early church discovers that the Spirit of God is already moving beyond the boundaries they assumed were fixed.This message explores slippery slopes, spiritual growth, unexpected relationships, and the surprising truth that transformation is normal in the Christian life. What if the Spirit is at work in places, people, and experiences you never expected?📖 Scripture: Acts 10:1–45In this teaching, we explore:Why Peter's vision was so shockingHow spiritual growth often happens graduallyThe role relationships play in transforming our theologyWhat it means that Jesus is "Lord of all"How the Spirit continually pushes beyond our assumptionsCommons Church exists to create space for spirituality, curiosity, and community.

What gives ordinary people the courage to speak truth, resist fear, and remain hopeful in a fractured world?In Acts 4 and 5, the early church faces its first wave of persecution after Peter and John heal a man at the temple gates and boldly proclaim the resurrection of Jesus. Confronted by powerful religious leaders, threatened, imprisoned, and punished, the apostles discover that true power is not found in coercion or control, but in resurrection, community, and the Spirit of God.In this sermon, Yelena explores:• Why the message of Jesus provoked opposition• What Acts teaches us about power and courage• How community helps us face fear• Why joy can still exist in suffering• What it means to live nonviolently and faithfully todayWhether you’re wrestling with fear, longing for deeper community, or trying to live with integrity in a divided world, this conversation invites us to become people of courageous witness together.Scripture: Acts 4–5Commons ChurchLove God.

What if the judgement of God looks nothing like we imagined?In Acts 2 we step into Peter’s first sermon after Pentecost—the moment the church begins to find its voice. But instead of fear, vengeance, or religious certainty, Peter announces something radically different: resurrection changes everything.Together we explore:- The real miracle of Pentecost- Why not everyone recognizes new movements of God- “Your sons and daughters will prophesy” and the expansiveness of the Spirit- The Day of the Lord reinterpreted through Jesus- Resurrection as God’s victory over violence and death- Why Peter sees the cross not as divine punishment, but divine participationThis is the story of a church learning to see the world differently in the light of Christ.Scripture: Acts 2 Commons Church — Calgary, Alberta ★ Support this podcast ★
What do you do when the future feels uncertain, God feels quiet, and the old season is clearly over?In Acts 1–2, the early church finds itself in that exact moment — caught between resurrection and Pentecost, between promise and fulfillment, between what was and what will be. And somehow, in the waiting, God is already moving.This week at Commons Church, we explore how faith often begins not with certainty, but with trust in the middle of transition.—📍 Commons Church🌐 https://commons.church📷 Instagram: @commons.church#Acts #BibleTeaching #ChurchOnline #Faith #HolySpirit #CommonsChurch ★ Support this podcast ★
What if the real miracle of love isn’t finding the right person—but becoming the kind of person who can stay?In this final message of The Miraculous series, we explore the ancient story of Ruth and uncover a vision of love that goes far beyond romance. This is a story about commitment, community, and the quiet, steady work of choosing one another—again and again.From friendships to family, from social responsibility to romantic connection, love is revealed as something we build, not something we stumble into. And maybe, just maybe, it’s this kind of love that holds everything together.✨ If love is more than a feeling… what does it look like to practice it this week?—Commons ChurchCalgary, AlbertaMore messages: commons.church/watch ★ Support this podcast ★
What if the most meaningful moments in your life aren’t random at all?In this talk, we explore a surprising story from Acts 8—the encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian traveler—and ask a simple but unsettling question: Can coincidence be a miracle?Rather than focusing on miracles as interruptions of nature, this message reframes the miraculous as something formed over time—through attentiveness, presence, and the kind of person we are becoming. Maybe the miracle isn’t just in the moment things come together… but in the quiet ways our lives are shaped to notice those moments at all.From desert roads to everyday conversations, this is an invitation to rediscover wonder—not in spectacle, but in the ordinary intersections of our lives.If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of your everyday routines, this conversation is for you.📖 Scripture: Acts 8:26–40📍 Commons Church, Calgary🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on faith, culture, and the way of Jesus ★ Support this podcast ★
