Enduring & Enjoying the Mission | Building a Church on Shared Life, Sacrifice, & Purpose

In this week’s message, Pastor Kit walks through Acts 18, introducing the early days of the church in Corinth and the kind of lives that fuel God’s mission. Through the story of Paul—and the powerful example of William Borden—we’re confronted with a deeper question: what actually possesses a person to live fully for Christ?

As Paul enters Corinth, he forms meaningful partnerships with Aquila and Priscilla—ordinary people using their work, resources, and relationships to advance the gospel. Together, they model a church that isn’t built on attendance, but on shared life, sacrifice, and purpose. Even in the face of resistance, Paul continues preaching, encouraged by God’s promise: “I am with you.”

This message reframes how we view calling, community, and even our circumstances. Where we live, who we know, and what we’ve been given are not accidents—they are part of God’s providence. Ultimately, what sustains a life of faith isn’t comfort or success, but being overcome by the love of Jesus—and responding by giving Him everything in return.
