ACTS : week 5

Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church

THE CHURCH'S BIRTHDAY
Acts 2:22

Looking at the beginning of Acts it's an exciting time. The birth of the church!

The first sermon of church history.

Peter

God uses people with issues...there is hope for you.

Jesus of Nazareth is the subject of his sermon.
Simplicity & his subject.
Jesus is center stage.

God chose to bring Jesus from an unlikely beginning.

Peter gives a shoutout from David.

We need to adapt to our audience.
Relate on their terms.
Get on their level.
Get into their heads.

The church often thinks 'they need to come to us' but we need to go to them!

If we don't evangelize, we'll fossilize.

With God, all things are possible.

There are things that are looming that seem impossible.
Getting out of debt, sharing your faith, kicking a bad habit, etc.

Through the Holy Spirit's power, you can supernaturally have victory in what seems to be doomed circumstances.

Peter used the Word of God and it cut their heart.

Repent.
