Acts chapter two says this about the first Christian church.They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer.And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. Today Ron takes us once again to the book of Acts to give us a glimpse into the life of the early church,and to encourage to uphold the original tenets upon which it was founded.

Acts chapter two is one of the most exciting passages in all of Scripture.The supernatural birth of the church.The first sermon ever preached in the church age, in which three thousand people came to faith in Christ.And then theres a brief passage that explains what we now know as the five purposes of the church.Thats where Ron is headed today as he continues his teaching series, AD: Acts of the Apostles.

Consider the words of Peter in Acts chapter two, "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christs for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Peters message was the first sermon of the church age.Simple,direct,straight to the point of what it takes to receive salvation.Today Ron takes us to this sermon to this Day of Pentecost,as he continues his series, AD: Acts of the Apostles.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The verse I just quoted was from Romans ten, seventeen.Earlier in that chapter, in verse fourteen, the Apostle Paul said, and how will they hear without a preacher?The spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ has always been dependent on people sharing that truth with the world.And today Ron takes us back to the day it all began.Its a sermon about a sermon, and it starts right now.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit happens at the point of your salvation in Christ.But thefillingof the Holy Spirit,thats a separate experience. Today, Ron explains the difference between being baptizedbythe Holy Spirit, and being filledwith the Holy Spirit.If that sounds a little perplexing, stick around,Ron is about to clear up any confusion you may have.

The birth of the world and the birth of Jesus Christ are two of the most dramatic events in human history.Well add one more to the list today. Today Ron takes us to Acts chapter two, and to one of the most amazing scenes in all of Scripture.

Are you waiting on an answer from God today?How much have you talked to Him about it? Well, you can make a list of pros and cons.You can talk to a pastor, a friend or a spouse.But unless youre spending a healthy amount of time in prayer, any decision you make will be something of a gamble.Ron talks about the power of prayer today as he continues his series, AD: Acts of the Apostles.

When you read the book of Acts, you cant help but notice all the good things the disciples of Christ were doing to launch the church and help it grow.But behind it all was a commitment to prayer.Prayer set the foundation for everything the early church was able to accomplish.Ron talks about this essential ingredient today as he continues his series, AD: The Acts of the Apostles.

You dont have to be a pastor or an evangelist to be a witness for Christ. Are you comfortable sharing your faith, or does it make you a little uneasy?Today Ron reminds us that weve not only been called to be witnesses for Christ,weve been equipped to fulfill that calling.
