What does the Bible actually teach about signs and wonders, miracles, healing, and the power of the Holy Spirit?

In Acts 5:12-16, we encounter one of the most remarkable snapshots of the early church. Miracles are happening. The sick are being healed. Demonic oppression is being broken. Crowds are gathering. Yet Luke's main emphasis isn't the miracles—it's that more and more people are being added to the Lord.

In this message, Pastor Timothy Stewart explores the biblical concept of power evangelism and answers important questions such as:

• Are signs and wonders still for today?
• What is the purpose of miracles in the New Testament?
• What does the Bible say about healing and deliverance?
• How should Christians think about spiritual gifts?
• What are the dangers of both skepticism and sensationalism?
• Why did miracles often accompany gospel expansion in Acts?
• How do holiness, hunger, and humility position believers to experience God's power?

Drawing from Acts 5, church history, revival movements, and missionary accounts, this sermon presents a balanced biblical approach to the work of the Holy Spirit while keeping Jesus and the Gospel at the center.

The greatest miracle isn't physical healing—it's the salvation of a soul.

In Acts 5:1–11, we encounter one of the most sobering and challenging passages in the entire New Testament—the story of Ananias and Sapphira. Why did God judge them so severely? What was their real sin? And what does this account teach the modern church about holiness, hypocrisy, and the fear of the Lord?

In this message, Pastor Timothy Stewart explores how the early church faced not only persecution from the outside, but also deception from within. Through the story of Ananias and Sapphira, we discover that God desires authenticity over appearance, integrity over image, and hearts that fear Him more than they seek the approval of others.

Most importantly, we learn that the fear of the Lord is not terror that drives us from God—it is awe that keeps us from playing games with God. At the cross, God's holiness and mercy meet, revealing why the Gospel is the shortest path to a healthy fear of the Lord.

Whether you're studying the Book of Acts, wrestling with questions about God's judgment, or seeking a deeper understanding of authentic Christianity, this message will challenge and encourage you.
