The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit Spirit”

Christ Alone

Acts 4:11 This Jesus is the Stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone. 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men (mortals) by which we must be saved

"It's All About Jesus"

After a miraculous healing Peter explains that the healing and all of life finds its meaning in Jesus. The healing of the man was through Jesus, the forgiveness of sin is found in work of Jesus, and the meaning of a life blessed by God is found through transforming ministry of Jesus.

"Rags to Riches"

The Lord will continue to work powerfully through the hands and words of the apostles. In Acts 3, we see a perfect illustration of how God reaches into the heart and lives of the sinner to bring them to a newness of life. The world will offer many things to us, but all that they can offer to us are temporary alms that will never address our real problems.

A Portrait of a Faithful Church

Against all odds the disciples do not scatter to the winds or cower in fear after Jesus leaves them. As the Holy Spirit came and filled them the Church responded to the work of grace in their lives by loving God and loving the people in His church and world. The Spirit used them in the city and drew thousands to salvation in Christ.

Christ-Centered Preaching

Every sermon that we preach must be a Christcentered sermon. The first sermon that is preached in the book of Acts is Christ-centered. If Christ is not at the center of our Gospel message, we are not a gospel preaching people.
