Sermons in Acts
Stephen Davey's exposition through the book of Acts.
The book of Acts immediately introduces major change! The Messiah has come and gone. The Holy Spirit is about to descend. Major transitions from the Old to the New Testament will take place. The Church of Jesus Christ is about to be created. Systems of worship, work and the spiritual life are all about to be radically changed. Whew! Talk about major adjustments and rearrangements! Not to mention the beginning of a special period in church history of miracles, signs and wonders. Only one word seems to fit this study - action! And remember this: from the 1st Century to the 21st Century, this Book of Action continues to issue a call to us all! You're about to go deeper in your discovery of principles intended by God to bring every one of us unto a new life of dynamic living, for the glory of God.
Acts will encourage you to discover the Good News. Salvation is not just for the Jews. The Gentiles are included too, and the gospel is spreading from Jerusalem to Judea and beyond!Jesus Christ has given direction to the apostles - directions for them to go everywhere, spreading the gospel . . . the news that there is only one way to salvation - Jesus Christ. So, get on board and get ready to sail. And don't forget, this Book of Action continues to issue a call to us all - the call to share the gospel to your world . . . where ever you might live!
