God sends his Spirit and gives life to the body called the church!  The mission is the same as the Spirit empowers and makes us witnesses.  Pastor Rick covers Acts 2:1-41

Pastor Rick begins the new Series called UNFINISHED... a study in the book of ACTS.  He covered Acts 1:1-11 in the message to CrossPoint Church.

Pastor Rick focuses on Luke 2:1-7 where Dr. Luke gives us a few details about the birth that changed the world. The Savior has come and will have a relationship with you... if you let Him. This is still Good News.

Mary and Joseph had much faith.  In spite of their fear, they listened to God.  May we all listen to God better... especially when it doesn't make sense.  This young couple is inspiring.

God gave the greatest of all messages, the good news to a group of lowly shepherds.  The shepherds met Jesus and became the first evangelists of the good news.

Zechariah and Elizabeth give birth to John which brings great joy to all because John the Baptist is the forerunner of the Messiah.

Jonah ends with God asking Jonah a powerful question: Shouldn't I SHED TEARS for such a great city? Today, our priorities seem to be off.  God's heart is broken over the not yet redeemed... likewise, our hearts need to be broken for the lost.

Jonah is angry at God for gracing the evil Assyrians.  Jonah was not grasped by grace.  So odd for a preacher not to rejoice in the repentance of Nineveh. We all need to be grasped by grace.

Jonah listens to God, preaches His Word and the whole city repents.  God uses flawed messengers proclaiming the inspired Word of God to change our culture.

God extends grace to Jonah by having him swallowed by a great fish.  Jonah knew that salvation comes from the Lord... but after spending some time in the belly Jonah KNOWS that salvation comes from the Lord ALONE.
