Christmas, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Why did Jesus come? That question faces us every Christmas. It is one of the most important questions we can think about today, on Christmas, or the rest of your life. Jesus is undoubtedly the best known and most influential human being in the history of the world. Yet, there is a surprising amount of confusion about this God-Man, particularly when it comes to why he came.

In Acts 6:1-7 the Enemy continues his attempts to sideline the newly forming early church, not by external persecution or internal hypocrisy, but by subtle distraction. The big idea here is that God wants us (individually and corporately) to experience healthy growth in Him, but distractions threaten that growth.

Jesus’ fingerprints are all over Acts 5:12-42. In this section we see that God is working in human history, through His people, to bring about His unstoppable purposes. Our God is all-powerful, ultimately controlling our trials, our fears, our weaknesses, and our persecution. From beginning to end, God wins.

Jesus promises to be with us as we boldly, yet humbly, proclaim His gospel in a world of unbelief. Unbelief is not a modern, intellectual or personality issue. It is something much deeper. This week we take a closer look at unbelief and Spirit-filled ways to faithfully face it – in your life and the lives of others.

God is moving in powerful ways so far in the book of Acts. Jesus is saving people from their sin. Lives are being changed daily. The church is declaring and displaying the nature of the gospel. The church is on fire. Amidst this, it is helpful to reflect on our own lives and the life of our church. Is this the kind of thing that is going on in my life and church? Is there passion, joy and thankfulness? Is God showing up? Is Jesus making himself known? Do we believe this could be true of us? God offers all this, and more, in the name of Jesus.

This week we wrapped up our series-within-a-series on True Christianity as depicted in Acts 2:40-47. So far we’ve seen that true Christianity results in a redeemed community, with an immovable commitment to truth, and is marked by joyous worship. Lastly, today, true Christianity embraces everyday mission. Amazingly, he uses redeemed sinners to point sinners-in-need-of-redemption to the Redeemer.

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.
