Opposition to gospel work should strengthen us to boldly (and joyfully) press on with that work through the power of God’s Spirit and confidence in God’s plan. 

The New Testament church joyfully sacrificed herself by courageously and tenaciously proclaiming the gospel despite deadly opposition because of all it means to be in Christ. 

Messiah brings seasons of refreshing to all who believe by blotting out sins & abiding with us while we wait for the Messianic restoration of all things. 

The miracle at Pentecost was nothing short of God’s new creation, a glorious new and permanent creation in which we fully participate through Jesus Christ.

If we’re to be truly holy people, sin must become so utterly sinful that we readily and eagerly embrace a lifestyle of humble repentance. 

The New Testament church was a new organism which accomplished great things for Christ; therefore, if the 21st century church especially in America wants a similar legacy, she must understand and devote herself to emulating the character of that effective New Testament church.
