Ablaze Series: Acts
For most of 2008, we went through the book of Acts, which records the apostles’ work after Jesus’ ascension and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. If you want to learn about the foundation of the Church we know today, listen to this series!

Paul has some new companions on his church-planting journey. And also an unexpected calling to Macedonia. Rich Richardson preaches.
Ablaze: Acts 15:1-35
The Gospel is on trial in Jerusalem. Is salvation a result of faith and obedience? Are Jewish Christians still bound by the law? Paul argues for a pure Gospel, centered on the perfect work, death, and ressurection of Jesus. Rich Richardson preaches.
