O, Church Arise
Feb 9, 2025 • Brian Rhodus
Pastor Brian discusses the significance of the Book of Acts, emphasizing its role in detailing the early church's formation and the work of the Holy Spirit. He highlights five key points: Acts is the only New Testament history book, bridging the Gospels and Paul's letters, authored by Luke, focusing on the early church's development, and introducing the Holy Spirit's role. Rhodus analyzes Acts 1:1-5, explaining the ascension of Jesus, the apostles' role, and the promise of the Holy Spirit. He urges modern churches to stay away from prioritizing trivial matters over the gospel's message, urging a return to simple, mission-focused faith.
