For thousands of years Christians have gathered around the world once a week to remember and celebrate Jesus together. However, is what we call “church” what it was intended to be?

This movement that we have been swept up in began with a handful of people who were not terribly sure of what they were doing. In fact, they were mostly unsure and confused in their nature.

But by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit empowered them to establish and lead a revolutionary vision creating witnesses of the love and grace of Jesus that has continued even to this day. We are here today because of the ACTS OF THE APOSTLES through the Holy Spirit just weeks after Jesus was crucified and resurrected.

This study of the book of Acts should bring us back to purpose of the church and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Moments after being filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter delivers an incredibly insightful and powerful sermon. But what catches our attention is that 50 or so days earlier, Peter had the darkest night of his life and was ready to throw everything away. We see that when the Holy Spirit fills our brokenness, we are stronger than we have ever been.
