This sermon introduces the Book of Acts, focusing on the first five verses. Pastor Jim emphasizes that Acts was written by Luke, a Gentile physician who accompanied Paul on his missionary journeys, to document what happened after Jesus' ascension. The message highlights two key lessons: when God saves you, He intends to use you in His kingdom, and He baptizes you with the Holy Spirit to make you a new creation with power for ministry. The sermon contrasts self-reliance with Spirit-reliance, encouraging believers to understand their identity and calling through the power of the Holy Spirit rather than their own abilities.
