Acts 13 tells of the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas. Their message was recieved with joy by some and spite by others. This sermon shows how Paul and Barnabas gave the answer of what to do with guilt.

Humanity has always had the proclivity to pursue and protect our own kingdom rather than live for God's Kingdom. This story illustrates whose kingdom will last and which King protects His people. The Kingdom of God gives life and last forever, man's kingdom will end in death and destruction. Choose wisely.

Act 10 contains the story of Peter interacting with a Roman Centurion named Cornelius. This story shows us that the Holy Spirit is available to all those who fear and call on the name of Jesus as their Lord.

This chapter of Acts tells of the ministry of Phillip to those surrounding Jerusalem, even those in North Africa. The Spirit is described as guiding the process by which Phillip preaches and proclaimes the risen Christ and teaches through the Bible.

Stephen is recorded as the first martyr for the Christian faith in Acts. But Luke's inclusion of this story has much more to do with the temple of God expanding to all the nations as was promised in the Old Testament. The Temple would no longer be the physical brick and morter building but the people of God upheld by the Word of God and the Spirit's indwelling.

The church was faced real challenges in their early day as they would throughout her history. Acts 6 shows us how God's Spirit carefully helped navigate a potential rift in the church through providing what we would know as the church office of "deacon". Deacon's were to serve the physical needs of the community as the apostles continued on with the Word ministry to the church.

Peter and John clearly confront the Sanhedrin's misconception of Jesus and what God has done through Him. The leadership of Israel is now transfered to those who recognize the King as Jesus. This King leaves His Spirit to encourage and streangthen His Church, including you and me.
