This sermon focuses on Acts chapter 11, primarily, as Peter goes back to Jerusalem to give a report on the Holy Spirit's activity at Cornelius' house.

We then, shift to the birth of the Church in Antioch where the disciples of Jesus were first called Christians.

Acts 10 tells the story of Peter bringing the good news of Jesus to Cornelius' household. This is a major shift in the book of Acts as Cornelius is a Gentile, and at this point, Christianity had only been spreading among Jewish people.

After Peter's proclamation of the Gospel, the Holy Spirit is manifested among the Gentiles in a similar fashion to the Day of Pentecost.

Have you ever heard the phrase "born-again"? In some circles of Christianity, this phrase is often used to talk about conversion - becoming a Christian. They might call themselves a "born-again" Christian.

But how does one become "born-again"? What does it look like?

In Acts, chapter 9, we get a glimpse of just such a conversion. Saul has been persecuting the Church...but by the time Jesus is done with him - he has an entirely new outlook on life. He's a new person. He's born-again!

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin walks through the conversion of Saul, to highlight the ways in which God continues to "convert" us towards His grace + mercy in our daily walks with Jesus.

This sermon focuses on the work of Philip in Acts 8 after a great persecution breaks out in the city of Jerusalem. We watch as Acts 1:8 begins to come to fruition in Acts 8:1.

In this sermon, we are introduced to the first Christian martyr, Stephen. This sermon walks us through the history of Christian martyrdom from Biblical times to the present day with the hopes that the stories of the martyrs inspire our faith and witness.

"What is Truth?" This question might summarize the popular 21st century opinion about reality. We live in a relativistic society. Where "my truth" is valued over any "objective truth."

What's interesting, however, is that those three words were uttered in the 1st century. To Jesus. By Pontius Pilate - the Roman Ruler. It's recorded in John 18:38, and with that question - he foresaw the "modern problem" of Truth.

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin unpacks the "problem of truth" - by looking at the history of truth. If God really is sovereign, then we can expect His Words to ring true through the annals of time.

But what do we find when we look at the history? Listen and consider what you look to for truth as these words of Pilate are unpacked.

It's a growing church in Jerusalem when Acts chapter 3 begins. What will happen now that the Holy Spirit has come upon the Apostles? Well, they don't sit still. In this sermon, Peter and John head into the temple and on the way heal a crippled man in the name of Jesus. This sets off a series of events where the religious leaders try to silence the apostles from speaking the name of Jesus.

In Acts, chapter 2, we hear the first sermon ever preached by the Christian Church. Peter stands, in the midst of a Jewish festival called Pentecost, and he proclaims the truth about Jesus of Nazareth.

That day, we are told, three thousand people came to believe in Jesus.

Why? What was so compelling about what Peter shared?

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin demonstrates the secret power that Peter had in his proclamation. A power - that is still available to you today. Listen and consider the radical truth that the world experienced on that Pentecost 2,000 years ago...and which still invades the world today.
