As we enter into Acts 9 there is a common theme appearing. That theme could be described by this: YOU have the goods! If you have Holy spirit in your life, you have been given POWER! So, Use it!!!Lets talk about it. 

In our series in the book of Acts today we see Philip heading into the city of Samaria where he finds an entire city under the spell of witchcraft. A sorcerer had filled the void with his devilish ideas and signs so that the entire region thought that he was the great power of God. That was until Philip rolled in and preached Christ unto them, suddenly the real power of God was on full display! Evil spirits ran out, bodies healed and everyone born again and even baptized in the Holy ghost! Let's learn from this one today! this is how we do it, let's talk about it! 

In our series on the book of Acts, we see Stephen, chosen to wait tables and yet was found to be working mighty miracles! The religious leaders began to attack him but he being filled with the Holy Ghost, gave an amazing answer, BUT, it just was not going to be enough. We have many leaders like this today, who rather protect the establishment than to allow Holy Spirit to do His work. In the end, this man was killed for simply doing what any spirit filled believer should be doing. Could you hang? Let's talk about it. 

In our series on the book of Acts, as we come into chapter 6, we see things are going well, the word is spreading, but suddenly troubles arise. A group of widows were being overlooked. The disciples made the decision that it would not be good for them to stop doing what they were doing to take care of these others, so lets find some men who can do it. The Bible gave some awesome qualifications, men of honest report, good reputations and filled with the Spirit.  One of these chosen men, Stephen, was reported to be found working great miracles! Lets talk about that. 

In our series on the book of Acts, here we are again, persecution! Not from politicians nor the people but the religious leaders. How do we handle ourselves when the religious leaders say, "No", when God said, GO"? In this chapter we are going to discover something that every born again, spirit filled believer needs to understand, that is, the supernatural is just what we do now.  It's not some special calling, some anointing, or manmade. Let's talk about it. 

In our series on the book of Acts we find ourselves in a bit of a harsh transition. Chapter 3 is ending in an awesome sermon being preached due to that amazing miracle at the gate Beautiful. All of Jerusalem is buzzing because of it, people are being born again be the thousands and then we find ourselves into chapter 4, thinking this is just going to be amazing...NOPE. Here come the religious elite. These men find themselves in trouble for simply doing what God commanded them to do!  I hope you are ready for it! lets talk about it. 

In our series on the book of Acts, what does it look like to be a Spirit filled believer? We venture into chapter 3 to find a couple of men who have just discovered that answer while working a miracle on a lame man. "Such as I have, I give thee..." What do you have? When we partner with Holy spirit it moves from what I do not have to what I do have that He is working with. Lets talk about it. 

In our series on the book of Acts, in chapter 2, we see the promise fulfilled in the introduction of the Holy Spirit of God being poured out onto the people. Jesus said that we would receive power after that and sure enough as they received that promise of Holy Spirit, salvations, miracles, and healings began. What about tongues? Paul has a lot to say about it. Take a listen and see for yourselves. 

Lets begin a series on the book of Acts. Today in chapter 1 we are going to see that Jesus references 2 baptisms! The whole "you have all of the holy spirit you'll ever need when born again" flies out the window! Jesus is telling these people, who walked with Him, talked with Him, saw the miracles, heard the sermons firsthand, that in order to go forth in His name, you'll need to do this first. If they needed Holy spirit, I think we might need Him too! Let's talk about it. 

What if God asked you to do something that did not make sense? What if He had you do some things that were inconvenient and yet they produced some amazing results for the kingdom? What if, after doing something so amazing, God asked you to leave with no recognition, could you? We are about to see Jesus cast out a legion of devils and all the towns' people, coming and seeing the amazing results, beg Him to leave them alone! Did God have a plan? Lets see.
