The book of Acts tells us of the incredible spirit of the first Christians. They faced great opposition from the Jewish leadership, culminating in the execution of Stephen. However, instead of allowing persecution to silence them, they continued their evangelistic efforts with even more fervor: “Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word” (Acts 8:4). In today’s sermon from evangelist Roger Boone, we learn how Christians of today can have the same mindset to go everywhere preaching the word.
The apostle Peter told the people: “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38). What was that Holy Spirit gift and how would the promise be for “as many as the Lord our God will call”? Find out in this outstanding sermon from evangelist Brian Burns.
Is the faith of Christianity built on false premises? Does Jesus truly exist? In this sermon by evangelist Joe Hisle we learn that parents need to take seriously their responsibility to affirm the most important issue of life: the existence of God and His reliable inspired word.
Jesus delivered the following commission to His apostles: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20). Understanding and applying the concepts of the great commission will enable each generation of Christians to fulfill it, winning disciples to the cause of Jesus Christ.
