This sermon emphasizes that the early church's success came from its devotion to the apostles' teaching (doctrine), which provides the foundation for genuine fellowship and mission. The message encourages listeners to become disciples by not only knowing but also obeying Jesus' teachings, which builds a strong and attractive church community.

This sermon uses the Day of Pentecost from Acts 2 to discuss what it means to be "filled with the Holy Spirit" and how this spiritual filling can lead to revival. It draws a parallel between the first Pentecost (when God gave the law on Mount Sinai) and the second Pentecost (when God gave the Holy Spirit), arguing that Christians today live in an ongoing "Pentecost" where they are called to live daily by the power of the Spirit.

This sermon celebrates baptism as an act of discipleship and a public testimony of Christ's finished work, not a means of earning salvation. It explains that baptism beautifully illustrates the gospel—Jesus's death and resurrection—and that our obedience to this command is not about adding to our own "good list," but is a joyful response to the perfect righteousness that Jesus has already fulfilled and credited to us.

This sermon teaches that true discipleship requires three fundamental habits: self-denial, which involves not demanding what one is owed; a deliberate rejection of worldly wisdom in favor of Christ's teachings; and the willingness to die to oneself, mirroring Jesus' sacrifice, as the only path to finding true and eternal life.

This sermon argues that the church's greatness comes from believers actively making disciples, a mission often hindered by fear. Using the example of the early church, the message encourages believers to confront their fears and pray for boldness to share the gospel, trusting that the Holy Spirit will provide the power and produce the fruit.

This sermon encourages parents to abandon worldly goals and instead focus on raising children who love and obey Jesus. It teaches that this is achieved through a gospel-centered method of parenting—shepherding the child's heart, not just correcting behavior—and by parents themselves modeling a secure identity as a child of God.

This sermon argues that effectively sharing the gospel requires three "batteries": a gospel burden, a gospel identity, and a gospel circle. The message emphasizes that by understanding our true identity in Christ's righteousness, we can be freed from shame to actively and lovingly share the precious gospel message with those in our lives who need to hear it.

This sermon celebrates Resonate's nine-year anniversary by presenting seven prayers for its future, focusing on the importance of glorifying God, prioritizing mercy over judgment, and making obedience a joyful desire rather than a burdensome chore. It ultimately argues that a true relationship with God is not about obtaining external blessings but about finding ultimate satisfaction and purpose in Jesus himself, which in turn leads to a life of authentic worship and good works.

This sermon argues that serving Jesus is a radical commitment to His mission, not an attempt to use His power for personal gain or to balance faith with other earthly priorities. It emphasizes that true service is a joyful response to God's grace, rooted in the identity of being saved, rather than a means of earning His favor.
