Summary
What can we learn from the Acts 2 church, and how does it apply to our lives today? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson talks about the radical movement of God that took place in Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples. He transformed their minds and spirits, empowering them to be bold advocates for Jesus, and changing the trajectory of the world. God can do similar things—and more—in our world today. As we live through this season of great change, He is awakening His people so we can overcome evil—not by our own strength and might, but through His Spirit.
