Silence!
False religion, as impressive and wealthy and powerful and magnificent as it may look and sound, is a facade of spirituality that cannot stand even the slightest exposure to truth. It is helpless before the simple testimony of a transformed life. Peter proves this in remarkable fashion.
Jumping for Joy
Lame men are jumping for joy around the streets of Jerusalem! Blind men are seeing again. Deaf men are hearing. The work of God through the Apostles is evident. This organism called the Church which has sprung up almost overnight is growing by the thousands. You want to see what spiritual revival looks like? Read Acts 3!
The Color of the First Century Church
What happens when a Church loses sight of its ultimate goal? It seems a bit too easy nowadays to just go to church on Sunday, listen to a sermon, sing songs, and go home--all the while forgetting why God called us to meet in the first place. In this message we visit the first-century Church for a reminder of what corporate worship is all about.
The First Sermon
The First Sermon ever given in the Church age illustrates the Gospel so clearly and reminds us that becoming a Christian is a transaction. Sanctification takes a lifetime; conversion takes a moment.
The Last Pentecost
Have we bought into the truth that the Holy Spirit really did descend? Do we really believe that the third Person of the Trinity really does permanently indwell every believer? And does it show in the way we live?
Throwing Dice . . . Drawing Straws
Like drawing straws or picking a hand, we sometimes seek God's will like it's a game of chance, don't we? But the tools for discovering God's will are not mystical. So throw the dice away and join Stephen in this message as he give you the proper tools for discovering the will of God.
Last Words
A person's last words are his or her most important. That's why Jesus' challenge before He ascended into heaven is called the "great" commission: "Go and make disciples of all men." Are you obeying His last command?
The Promise
It is a shock for most today to discover that the power of the Holy Spirit was never intended to be an end in itself. The Holy Spirit was given to us to sanctify us -- to set us apart. But people miss this all the time. People treat Him like some sort of energy source. They try to tap in to Him. In this message Stephen takes us back to the book of Acts to clear up some of the lingering confusion regarding the Spirit's work in the Church.
On the Edge of Their Seats
The disciples are waiting anxiously in Jerusalem. Jesus has just ascended into heaven and promised that a Comforter would come. They would know Him when they saw Him. But what would His arrival be like? When would He come? How would He come? The disciples were about to find out!
