Just like the Super Bowl highlights a few players while dozens work faithfully behind the scenes, the church only thrives when everyone steps off the sidelines and uses their gifts to serve. In Acts 6, the early church faced growing pains and discovered that when each person stepped into their God-given calling—listening to needs, sharing responsibility, and serving where they were gifted—the church grew stronger, healthier, and the gospel spread further. The invitation for us is simple: don’t just attend church, get in the game, because when every part of the body serves, God multiplies the impact.
About this Sermon Series:
The book of Acts tells the story of how the exalted Christ sends His Spirit to empower His people to continue His work in the world. Through the Spirit’s power, ordinary believers boldly proclaim the gospel, witness miraculous works, and form vibrant communities that embody God’s welcome to all people. Acts traces how the church’s witness, energized by the Spirit, extends from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, revealing Christ’s ongoing work through His people and the Spirit’s leading in every new challenge and opportunity.

The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live boldly, not blending in but standing out so the world doesn’t miss the message of Jesus. Through Acts 4, we see that boldness flows from being with Jesus—expressed in courageous testimony, fearless prayer, and generous, sacrificial living even in the face of opposition. As we spend time with Jesus and remain filled with the Holy Spirit, God calls us away from comfortable consumption and into courageous contribution for His mission.

In this weekend’s sermon, we continued the story of the early church living out their faith in everyday life. As Peter and John head to the temple to pray, God uses them to bring healing to a man who had been lame from birth—drawing a crowd and creating an opportunity to share Jesus. Acts 3:1–21 makes it clear the miracle isn’t the main point—Jesus is. Peter redirects the attention to Christ, reminding everyone that the power comes through faith in His name. This passage calls us to live with obedience and availability, staying open to divine interruptions, continually checking our hearts, repenting, and finding true hope and refreshment in Him as we live a “follow me as I follow Christ” kind of life.

At Newbreak Church, we believe Sabbath is a time to stop, rest, and reconnect with God, no matter your stage of life. Whether you’re a young adult enjoying quiet mornings, a parent creating family memories, or an empty nester reflecting on God’s faithfulness, Sabbath invites us to rest, worship, and be renewed in His presence. Join us this weekend and Pastor JoAnn Johnson shares with us the keys to finding peace, joy, and renewal in every season.
About this Sermon Series
This Advent, we’re turning our hearts toward the promise of a Savior—one whose name changes everything. “He shall be called” points us to some of the beautiful names of God revealed in Jesus. Each name pulls back the curtain on who He is and what He came to do. As we prepare for Christmas, we’ll see that the story of His coming is more than nostalgia—it’s the revelation of God’s heart, up close and personal, in Christ, for us, today.

He Shall Be Called, Part 5 Pastor Markus Witherspoon
December 24, 2025
In the final week of Advent, Pastor Markus Witherspoon of Newbreak Church Tierrasanta Campus will lead us in reflecting on the powerful names of Jesus that reveal the heart of God for us. In his sermon, "He Shall Be Called," Pastor Markus will highlight the significance of these names as more than just titles—they are the keys to understanding who Jesus is and what He came to do. As we approach Christmas, this message invites us to move beyond the nostalgia of the season and embrace the deep, personal revelation of God’s love and purpose, made flesh in Christ. It’s a call to open our hearts to the Savior whose arrival changes everything, not just for that first Christmas, but for our lives today.
