On today's program we will continue an exciting journey through the book of Acts, as we open chapter four. Here we find some new believers in Christ, who had prospered financially, selling some of their possessions, and bringing the money to the disciples to distribute to those in need.

What we'll see today is more evidence of the Holy Spirit's presence, and more evidence of man's unwillingness to acknowledge His presence. Peter called the people to account for this back then, and his words will remind us today, that acknowledgment begets faith, and faith begets worship and that's why we're here... to glorify and worship the Lord Jesus Christ.

Have you ever experienced something and later realized you'd been set up? That's exactly what's about to happen to Peter and John. They're on their way to the temple to pray and they come across a lame man begging for money. What happens at the Beautiful Gate served to give the people a vivid example of the presence and the power of The Holy Spirit.

Many Christians try to live a Christian life without ever really knowing what it is. Is that you today? Well, help is on the way as we bring you another message from pastor Lloyd's series in Acts. Today's message is titled "Evidence of a Healthy Church". Join us in Acts chapter two as we learn what it means to really be a healthy church.

Today we begin a message dealing with the last six verses of the second chapter of Acts. Here's the scenario: Peter has just given a dynamite sermon about the power and the glory of Jesus Christ, and now those who heard the sermon are asking, "What do you want us to do now?" It's a common question, and there's a very clear answer found in these verses in Acts chapter two.

Today we'll look at chapter two, verses twenty two through forty one. Here, Luke records the amazing and Spirit-inspired words of the Apostle Peter's first sermon. Peter is exhorting his audience to repent and be saved. And those who have heard his words are being swept up in the Holy Spirit.

When the Holy Spirit came upon the hundred and twenty disciples, there were many who were amazed. But there were some who thought these spirit-filled people had had a little too much wine to drink! After all, they were being heard by the crowd in several different languages at the same time! The Apostle Peter came to the rescue with a sermon that set the record straight.

Today we continue our study through the book of Acts, with a stop in Acts chapter two. The day of Pentecost has arrived, and with it, the Holy Spirit. Without question this is one of the most significant events in the Bible, as the third member of the Holy Trinity descended upon the early Christian Church. As we will see in today's message, the work of the Holy Spirit began immediately, and the results were quite startling to those who witnessed them.

There are many wondrous events occurring in this book - from the descending of the Holy Spirit to the many adventures of the Apostle Paul. And Lloyd's messages will help you understand not only what is going on in the early church, but also, how these events affect your life and your relationship with Jesus Christ. So join us for today's Bridging the Gap and turn in your Bible to the second chapter of the Book of Acts.

If you weren't with us we are continuing our study through the book of Acts and we're near the end of chapter one. The Acts of the Apostles is the full name usually given to this book, but perhaps a more accurate title would be "The Acts of the Holy Spirit through the Disciples". Turn to Acts chapter one in your Bible and join us for today's edition of Bridging the Gap.
