Ordinary People, Extraordinary Impact: Stephen
Most people wouldn't put "faithfulness" and "impact" in the same sentence. We tend to think that influence belongs to the gifted, the famous, or the powerful... Stephen would disagree. This Sunday in our Ordinary People, Extraordinary Impact series, we'll meet a man who began by serving tables and ended up changing history. Stephen wasn't an apostle. He wasn't a church planter. He wasn't even a preacher by profession. He was simply a man full of faith, wisdom, and the Holy Spirit who remained faithful to Jesus no matter the cost. His story reminds us that God often does His greatest work through ordinary people who are willing to stand firm when life gets difficult. We'll discover: How God uses ordinary acts of service to prepare us for greater things. Why courage is not the absence of fear but faithfulness in the face of it. How one person's witness can impact lives far beyond what they can see.

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Impact: John
We continue our Ordinary People, Extraordinary Impact series by looking at John: The Apostle of Love. Now, if you know John's story, that's a pretty surprising title. John wasn't always known for love. Early on, he and his brother James earned the nickname "Sons of Thunder." That sounds less like a church ministry team and more like a professional wrestling tag team. At one point John wanted Jesus to call down fire from heaven on people who disagreed with them! Yet by the end of his life, John became known as the apostle who continually taught one simple message: "Love one another." What changed? He spent time with Jesus. And the same love that transformed John can transform us. Join us as we discover how an ordinary fisherman became one of the most influential followers of Christ in history—and what his story teaches us about living lives marked by love today.

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Impact: James
Join us as we take a fresh look at the life of James—an ordinary man who God used to make an extraordinary impact. James wasn’t one of the most famous disciples during Jesus’ earthly ministry. In fact, there was a time when he struggled to fully believe. But after the resurrection, everything changed. God transformed him into a courageous leader whose faith, wisdom, and obedience influenced the early church in powerful ways. His story reminds us that God delights in using ordinary people who are willing to trust Him.
