Lord's Supper, Prayer, Acts, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This morning we are continuing to work our way through a short series (True Christianity), within a larger series (Acts: The Story Continues), based on Acts 2:40-47. We’re taking additional time here because this passage gives us insight into four vital signs (i.e. signs of life) for every Christian church and every Christian. This week, we’ll see that true Christianity is marked by a deep and joyous worship of Jesus.

We are taking five weeks to unpack true Christianity from the first authoritative account of the first Christian church recorded in Acts 2:40-47. This week we get insight into the second of four “vital signs” (i.e. signs of life) of true Christianity: immovable truth. True Christianity has an immovable commitment to God’s truth, revealed in the Bible and summed up in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

In Acts 2:40-47, we have the first authoritative description of the first Christians and, in turn, true Christianity. Therefore, we are taking five weeks to unpack true Christianity. This week we get insight into the first of four “vital signs” of true Christianity: redeemed community. True Christianity results in a new community identity, new devotion and a new character.

In Acts 2:40-47, we have the first authoritative description we have of the first Christians. They not only describe what happened but help us examine ourselves. Amidst the cultural confusion about what Christianity actually is, here we get insight into true Christianity. True Christianity is God-initiated, Jesus-centered, and person-changing.

In Acts 2:14-41, Peter stands up on the Day of Pentecost to preach the first post-ascension, Holy Spirit-empowered Christian sermon to a crowd of unbelieving Jews. Rather than appealing to emotion, Peter directs their attention to the facts of fulfilled prophecy and the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ for the salvation of all who believe.

Spiritual Gifts, Acts, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In Acts 2:1-13, Jesus’ disciples receive the much anticipated and long-awaited promise of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Here we see the Holy Spirit is new power, that brings a new message and forms a new people. This is instructive for us as a newly forming, Jesus-loving, Spirit-filled people in the city.

In Acts 1:9-26 Jesus prepares his first band of followers (120) for His mission by rooting them in the gospel, meeting them in prayer and appointing leaders for the mission. In this, we too can learn how to prepare our lives to be used by Him. Next week: the Spirit comes.

God has been exceedingly gracious (Eph 3:20,21) to us as a newly forming Jesus-loving, gospel-centered, Bible-believing people in heart of our great city. We’re growing numerically, people are meeting and maturing in Jesus, more communities are needed, and sin is coming into the light of Jesus’ grace. The demand for more leaders has never been greater. It has been quite an adventure and we have only just started (literally).

Acts, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In the opening verses of the book of Acts we learn that Jesus’ mission is historically-true, witness-driven and kingdom-focused. Luke is clear. While his gospel was about what Jesus began to do and teach, this book – Acts – is about what Jesus continues do and teach through His Spirit-empowered people.

Ephesians, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

In Ephesians 6:21-24, the Apostle Paul comes to the end of his deeply theology, yet wisely practical, letter to the Ephesians. He does so by touching on the main themes of his letter (grace, peace, faith, love) and calling the church – and us – to “love incorruptible”.
