Evangelism on SermonAudio

This sermon examines the events of Pentecost in Acts chapter two, defining the term as simply meaning 'fiftieth' rather than implying any magical properties. The speaker argues that the gift of tongues was a supernatural ability to speak known foreign dialects for evangelism, explicitly rejecting the concept of unknown or ecstatic languages. By analyzing the crowd's reaction and Peter's subsequent sermon, the text highlights the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy regarding the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The central message emphasizes that this power was granted to enable clear communication of the Gospel to diverse audiences, ensuring the message of salvation was understood by all. Ultimately, the passage serves as a call for believers to boldly proclaim the word of God without fear or timidity.

In this upcoming episode of The Narrated Puritan, we journey into 18th-century colonial America to uncover the incandescent life and ministry of Samuel Davies—a man Dr. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones famously called "one of your greatest preachers." Born to humble beginnings and educated under Samuel Blair at the historic Faggs Manor academy, Davies entered pastoral ministry under the constant shadow of terminal illness, preaching every sermon with urgent, eternity-bound gravity. From navigating Virginia's rigid legal establishment to turn local "Reading Houses" into licensed Presbyterian churches, to pioneering literacy and evangelism among hundreds of enslaved African Americans, Davies' fearless leadership laid the very groundwork for religious liberty in America while inspiring the legendary pulpit fire of a young Patrick Henry. Join us as we trace his remarkable journey from the Virginia frontier to his final days succeeding Jonathan Edwards as the fourth president of the College of New Jersey, and discover why Davies' solemn, heart-searching preaching still speaks with profound power to our generation today.

How can we know the Bible is trustworthy? Luke 1:1–4 shows us that Scripture is written by credible authors and grounded in eyewitness testimony, historical events, and careful presentation. These foundations give us confidence that the Bible is true and that our faith rests on solid ground. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
