Walking and Leaping and Praising God
As we continue our study through the book of Acts, we come to the first healing of the church era. Through this display of Christ's power, the door is opened once again to the gospel of Jesus Christ being proclaimed in the temple courts. Through this event and Peter's subsequent sermon, we leanr not only what Christ imparts to those who trust in Him, we learn what characterizes true, biblical ministry.

The Character of The First Church
Is church a place where you go, or a community of God's people in which you have invested yourself? Is worship a weekly event that you merely attend, or is it a gathering of family where you delight to express your adoration of the Lord of glory? These questions must be asked because there is still a consumerist mindset plaguing modern Christianity. In this passage, we look at the character of the first church and see the purity of their devotion and fellowship as God was mightily at work....

The Fulfillment of All Our Hopes
As we pick up with the second half of Peter's sermon, he offers his Jewish brethren both warning and hope. Though they acted in sinful ignorance in killing the Messiah, they were not beyond God's grace. As the prophets foretold, it was God's will that His servant Jesus suffer to accomplish the salvation of His people. Now, if they would believe, they could receive forgiveness, they could be prepared for Christ's return, and they would receive the promised covenant blessings.

Brokenness, Belief, and Baptism
In this message, we explore the conversion of thousands of Jews who had just listened to Peter's Pentecost sermon.

The First New Covenant Sermon – Part 1
As we saw in the previous text, crowds of people had gathered to see what was going on when they heard the sound of the Spirit and the Christians speaking in tongues. Some of them were asking the honest question “What do these things mean?” and some accused the Christians of being drunk. Peter stands forth from the 12 Apostles to answer both the honest question and the accusation, and what he gives us is the first sermon of the New Covenant era. In this sermon, Peter shows us how Salvation in Ch...

Tongues of Fire
The Day of Pentecost is the Birthday of the New Covenant People of God, and it is a day of explosive power and truth and joy. Because of the Charismatic movement, this text is too often and too simply treated as a proof text for tongues. But in this sermon we will see it is more about God's glory in fulfilling His promise to establish Christ's kingdom in the next era of redemtive history. Through these 13 verses, we are taught just how Christ builds His kingdom.

How Christians Wait on the Lord
How do we occupy ourselves as believers when God brings us to a time where we must wait? That's where the disciples were. Jesus had ascended back to heaven, He had told them to return to Jerusalem, and now they had to wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit to come. Their example of how they spent their time waiting for the Lord to fulfill His promise teaches us some critical lessons about what waiting on the Lord looks like.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
As Luke opens the sequel to his gospel account, he links his history of the early church firmly and faithfully to the Person and Ministry of Jesus Christ. In these opening verses, we also have Jesus once again promising to His disciples the coming baptism of the Holy Spirit. These two things – the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of His Holy Spirit – are center- stage in everything that follows in the book of Acts, and these same things define us as the church.
