This sermon encourages Christians, as a new spiritual temple and holy priesthood, to live lives filled with God's presence by offering spiritual sacrifices of praise and service. Rooted in gratitude for Christ's ultimate sacrifice, believers are empowered by the Holy Spirit to use their unique gifts for the glory of God, the edification of the church, and the advancement of the gospel.

This sermon proclaims that a life of true fulfillment is found in embracing our identity as "elect exiles"—those who are unconditionally chosen by God and live as citizens of a heavenly kingdom in a fallen world. This identity is realized by allowing the Father to define us, the Spirit to change us, and the Son's blood to cover us, thereby freeing us from seeking significance in fleeting worldly things.

This sermon asserts that genuine conversion is a necessary and transformative process that moves individuals from spiritual blindness to sight through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. By engaging with the historical evidence of Christ and accepting the gospel's message—that we are both sinful and profoundly loved—we can receive a new identity and a relationship with God.

This sermon uses the early church's conflict in Acts 6 to highlight four commitments for a flourishing church: celebrating growth, caring for the vulnerable, prioritizing the ministry of the Word, and cultivating a "priesthood of all believers." By addressing internal conflict through delegation and maintaining a focus on these principles, the church ensures the continued increase of God's Word and the multiplication of disciples.

This sermon teaches that the early church's radical unity and generosity were a direct result of the Holy Spirit's power and their gratitude for Christ's sacrifice, which led to a powerful testimony and a community without need. It holds up Barnabas as a model of this selfless spirit and calls believers to emulate Jesus, the ultimate "son of encouragement" who gave everything for us.

This sermon teaches that ordinary believers, like Peter and John, can be "shook" by God to boldly impact their culture by relying on three divine gifts: a new identity in Christ, a supernatural perspective on circumstances, and the power of the Holy Spirit. It challenges Christians to move beyond self-sufficiency by embracing the strength found in God and the support of the 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 encourages Christians to overcome common barriers to prayer, such as busyness and doubt, by viewing it as a powerful spiritual weapon. The message urges believers to pray with desperation and alertness, recognizing their need for God's strength and the reality of spiritual warfare, while also focusing on interceding for other "saints."

This sermon, based on Ephesians 2, argues that the gospel forges a deep, multicultural oneness among believers by creating a new, supernatural community in Christ. This unity is achieved by tearing down the "dividing wall of hostility" that separates people, ultimately forming a new race whose primary identity is rooted in their shared dependence on Jesus's sacrifice and their common citizenship in God's kingdom.
