A Story of Sharing, Lying and the Power of God

The early church saw God demonstrate His power and His salvation in amazing ways. Their lives were transformed by Jesus Christ. One of the things the Lord led them to do was to share with each other sacrificially. The results of this were amazing. But, not everyone was controlled by the Holy Spirit. Some people lied to God. The result for them was tragic. In this message, A Story of Sharing, Lying and the Power of God, from Acts 4:32-5:11, you will see the grace of God and the power of God in action, and you will hear how God wants you to respond.

They Have Been With Jesus

When a person meets Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, that person is changed forever. The early disciples were so changed by Jesus that even nonbelievers noticed that they had been with Him.

In The Name of Jesus

As Christians, we seek to live each day for Jesus' name to be glorified through our lives. The early disciples surely did too. When Peter & John went up to the temple at prayer time one day, they encountered a crippled man who needed to know Jesus personally. In the name of Jesus, there is healing. In the name of Jesus, there is forgiveness. In the name of Jesus, there is blessing. This message, In The Name of Jesus, from Acts 3:1-26, describes how the name of Jesus can be glorified in and through your life today.

Authentic Christian Fellowship

In Acts 2:41-47, the Bible describes the way that the early Christians related to God and to each other.

What do we learn from them about how each local church can be an Authentic Christian Fellowship? The early church saw God move in powerful and awesome ways. They saw God turn their world upside down. Do you pray for God to move in that way again? Listen to the message here: http://www.lpbaptist.org/authenticchristianfellowship.mp3
