Destiny Church of Jacksonville

You will never be complete if all you ever do is receive. 

In week 9 of our All In series, Pastor Chris teaches from Acts 6 and 7 on the value of serving instead of complaining. In the midst of severe persecution, the disciples continued to press ahead and serve those around them, remaining faithful to the mission at hand. As they did, they saw their numbers "greatly increasing". 

God uses those who make themselves available.

On week 8 of our All In series, Pastor Chris teaches about perseverance and how we can stay faithful when life gets tough.

When we're waiting for a miracle, it's important to remember that God will use the very thing that was meant to hold you back to launch you out.

He's got the whole world in His hands and hasn't forgotten about you!

God sees in us what we cannot see in ourselves. 

Today, Pastor Chris preached from the end of Acts 4 to the beginning of Acts 5 about the power and grace of the Holy Spirit in our lives. When we seek Him and find Him, we discover boldness and love that will tell the world who we live for.

What bold step do you need to take in your life right now?

Even in the middle of persecution, we see people coming to Christ.

This week, Pastor Chris preached out of Acts 4 about the power of the Gospel in the midst of persecution. When you spend time with Jesus, the atmosphere changes and the darkness gets stirred up.

People will know the followers of Jesus by their love, even when difficulties arise. What will you be known for?

God is looking for people not only to give to, but to give through.

Today we are joined by Pastor Mark Harrell as he brings an incredible word about the prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4. In this passage, Jabez models some of the things we should ask for in prayer including blessing, influence, presence, and protection.

In this story, pain cried out. You can cry out to the Lord too.

Fellowship with other believers is vital to our spiritual development.

Pastor Jodi brought week 5 of our All In series and preached on the importance of community. She taught that we do not outgrow the need for it and that choosing to do life in isolation will hinder your spiritual growth.

Community is the best way to break down the walls separating you from your God-given calling. How will you connect with others today?

The power of Jesus is present and available in the name of Jesus.

For part 4 of our All In series, Pastor Daniel took us through Acts chapter 3 and the lessons we learn through Peter's sermons. God is sovereign in His work and in His timing. It is up to us to be intentional about our time with Him and live with expectation for the lives He could change for His glory.

What are you expecting God to do in and through you today?

The safest place that you could ever be is following the Holy Spirit's lead.

In part three of our All In series, Pastor Chris brought an incredible message on Pentecost and the gifts of the Spirit. Pentecost isn't about the tongues, but about a group of people. It's about power and life.

What will you do for the glory of God?

The goal of Christianity isn't to become more like one another, it's to become more like Jesus.

In week 2 of our All In series, Pastor Chris dives in to the first part of the book of Acts and teaches on the importance of prayer and the Holy Spirit. The true church will live and move and have its being in prayer.

Every divine action begins from the Father, proceeds through the Son, and is completed in the Holy Spirit.

God's Word carries God's authority.

This week, Pastor Chris begins a brand new series on the book of Acts and the acts of the Holy Spirit therein. There is one God who eternally exists as three distinct persons and this message lays the groundwork for the coming weeks as we dive deeper into what it means to live life empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Every promise of God has an intended purpose. What will you do with the promises we've been given?
