The Movement is Sending

As we learned in last Sunday’s sermon, the early church in Antioch was a Spirit-led, Spirit-empowered church. May we be a church that hears the Holy Spirit, sends the best workers to the field, speak the Word boldly, and safeguard the church from wolves.

The Movement is Crossing Barriers

Colossians 3:11, Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

Indeed, God responds to anyone who commits to Him. God rejects no one who comes to Him but requires those who call on Him to have faith in Jesus.

In this sermon, we find the movement crossing barriers.

The Movement is Strengthened

“Conversion is our willing response to the gospel call, in which we sincerely repent of sins and place our trust in Christ for salvation.” - Dr. Wayne Grudem

Today, we will study one of the most crucial chapters in the Book of Acts—the conversion of Saul, the Movement’s worst enemy. The conversion of Paul is pivotal, not only on which his life turned, but on which the history of the church turned. Let's learn from Acts Chapter 9

The Movement is Expanding

The previous chapter ended with the killing of Stephen by an angry and enraged Sanhedrin who could not tolerate the truth which he spoke and so they stoned him to death outside the city walls. Stephen was not the last. What happened that day started a wildfire of persecution that led to the scattering of believers all over the place. And what seemed to be the end of the movement is actually the beginning of God’s Expansion.

Persecution did not stop the church– it scattered it and expanded it.

Today as we study Acts 8, let us find three important Truths about the Expansion of God’s Movement.

Stephen: The Spirit-Filled Man

The two greatest words in the Christian life: trust and obey. And Stephen did them both. He believed God; he did what the Spirit told him to do. His life was full of the Holy Spirit. What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? It means to be under the control of the Holy Spirit. It means that the fruit of the Holy Spirit is evident in his life. He has that reputation. People see that in him.

Let's learn more from Stephen's example in this sermon.

The Movement is Organized

It had to get organized to carry out effective ministry, and that ministry needed to be in the hands of the people who cared the most. It had to get organized so that the people who needed to be proclaiming the Word of God all the time were continuing to do that and weren’t distracted by something else.

The Movement is Relentless

More than 2000 years have passed, and the church of Jesus Christ is still here, and very much alive. We are still preaching the same message, we are still worshiping Jesus Christ, and we are still pursuing people for the glory of God. Let's listen to this sermon to see all the ways the Movement is relentless.

The Movement is Purged

The fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit bring peace and growth to the church. Treating the Lord with contempt by religious fakery should remain a fearful prospect in the church. God is not mocked. And the Holy Spirit is a great comfort here, because it is precisely by his indwelling power that we become real and authentic.

Sin among the saints is more serious than sin among the lost. Sin against the Holy Spirit is very serious. 
Be on guard against hypocrisy in your life.

The Movement Prays

Do you know our church’s vision?

“A dynamic growing church of transformed believers passionate for God.”

Has there ever been a church like that?

Yes. The first church in Jerusalem was just like that. They enjoyed the miraculous display of the presence and power of God through the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. They saw souls saved in abundance. They were living in a day when the extraordinary was the order of the day. Imagine how dynamic and growing they were that on their inauguration day 3,000 got saved and baptized at one service.

Their secret? They were a movement that PRAYED.
