In the previous two sermons, we thought about the testimony and explanation of Pentecost together. Today we will think together about the “fruit of Pentecost”, that is, to see what purpose or effect God wants to achieve in the event of Pentecost. Let’s look at the first point: Continue reading “MARCH 19, 2023, PREACHING:Fruit of Pentecost”
Yes, Pentecost has not yet passed, but the Bible says that the people were amazed and suspicious, saying, “What does this mean?” Everyone should ask this question. Do you agree? Let’s look at the first point: Continue reading “MARCH 12, 2023, PREACHING: Explanation of Pentecost”
The second chapter of Acts has had a profound impact on church history and still speaks to us today. What is the significance of this scripture being sandwiched between Matthias’ by-election of the apostles and the testimony of the Beautiful Gate? Can you reconsider what the Bible actually says? Let’s look at the first point first: Continue reading “March 5, 2023, PREACHING: Testimony at Pentecost”
Acts 3:12-26; 2/26/2023; BCBC/IOUC; Rev. Paul Wang
When I talk about Peter’s second sermon today, it means that we may ask in our hearts, what did he talk about in his first sermon? I will give Peter’s first sermon on March 12th, and now let’s go back to today’s message. Look at the first point: Continue reading “February 26, 2023, PREACHING: Peter’s second sermon”
Testimony at the Beautiful Gate
Acts 3:1-11; 2/19/2023; BCBC/IOUC; Rev. Paul Wang
Today, we talk about “the testimony of the beautiful gate” in Acts 3:1-11. Did you find anything? Yes, I skipped the second chapter. Why? I want everyone to experience together how would the early church go on without chapter two? The order has changed, what will it look like? Let’s look at the first point: Continue reading “February 19, 2023, PREACHING: Testimony at the Beautiful gate”
Jesus ascended to heaven, and the disciples faced a choice, right? They were used to the daily leadership of Jesus Christ, but suddenly, what happened in these few days caught the disciples off guard. What should we do about the future direction, the lack of disciples, and the relationship with each other? They need to make a decision, right? Continue reading “February 12, 2023, PREACHING:Decision made in Cenacle”
If the Gospels introduce Jesus Christ, then the Book of Acts introduces how Jesus Christ continued to stay in the church through the Holy Spirit. Then, the book of Acts found a helper to co-work with him to complete the mission. This is the Book of Luke. Luke thus becomes a bridging figure in history. Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Church, and the saints are integrated into one, spreading out a large net of the Gospel, integrating the culmination of the Gospel and apologetics. It is about the Kingdom of God, the Mother Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Heaven. Let’s look at the first point: Continue reading “February 5, 2023, PREACHING:The first apologist”
This is the fifth and final vision of the prophet Amos, the final judgment and destruction. This also made me interested to see the prophet Isaiah, who served in the southern kingdom of Judah at the same time as Amos, said: “Unless the Lord Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.(Isaiah 1:9)” This is also the core message of Amos. Let’s look at the first point: Continue reading “JANUARY 29, 2023, PREACHING: Mercy and faithfulness”
This is the fourth vision of Amos, which is the fruit of summer. This is a metaphor, which means that the end is near. Because the summer fruit does not last long, if not eaten in time, it will soon rot. Let’s look at the first point:
Continue reading “JANUARY 22, 2023, PREACHING:Summer fruits”
Fortresses are easiest to take from the inside, regardless of your attitude. The prophet Amos came north from the pastures of the southern kingdom to be the prophet of the northern kingdom. When a prophet speaks the truth, there is bound to be internal strife. Let’s look at the first point: Continue reading “JANUARY 15, 2023, PREACHING: Internal strife”
