This sermon discusses how the early church in Jerusalem grew rapidly through the power of the Holy Spirit and the preaching of the apostles. However, tensions arose between Greek and Hebrew widows which led the apostles to appoint seven men to oversee charitable distribution.

This eventually led to a great persecution that scattered believers throughout Judea and Samaria, fulfilling Jesus' command to spread the gospel to all regions.

This sermon discusses loving one another as Jesus loved us.

Jesus gave a new commandment to love one another as he loved us. When we love one another, people will know we are Christ's disciples. The fruit of the Spirit is love and those who belong to Christ have crucified selfish passions and desires to live by the Spirit through love. The sermon encourages praying for a heart like Jesus' to love others and looking for ways to express tangible love to those around us this week.

John says he baptizes with water but one greater will come to "ignite the kingdom life...changing you from the inside out" through the Holy Spirit. However, Herod has John imprisoned for condemning his marriage to his brother's wife.
Sermon 07 11 10

Salvation is a gift from God through faith, not by works, so that no one can boast.
Sermon 05.27.12

Believers must have faith in Christ to be clothed with him and among the chosen few.
