    Peter preaches in the name of Christ following the healing of the lame man.

    "Many wonders and signs were done by the apostles" (Acts 1:43). 1. THE MIRACLE (vv. 1-11) It was money for which the lame man was begging; it was healing which he received. "SILVER AND GOLD HAVE I NONE; BUT SUCH AS I HAVE GIVE I THEE: IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH RISE UP AND WALK" (v. ...read more

    Today we will continue to be challenged and reminded of who the Holy Spirit is! Do we as the people of God know that we are not to do life without Him? We can do so many nice and moral activities in this life, but perhaps the deeper call is to move from

    Opener: I would like to begin today’s sermon by talking about the person and the working space of the Holy Spirit…He is a person…He is seeking to do a work in our lives and our congregation…but just like anyone else…He is ignorable!

    Carpe diem, seizing the opportunities of this day, is a great piece of advice. We human beings only have a precious little time which God grants to us here on planet earth. We should be putting that time to good use.

The prologue from John was also read. After some music, the crucifixion narrative was read, and then this sermon was ...read more
