What is our purpose as the body and bride of Christ? Listen to Adrian Rogers.

Now here's what we exist to do, to exalt the Savior, evangelize the sinner, and enlist the saints.

Not complicated, is it? Not complicated at all. Question. Does this excite you? Would you like to be a part of that? Or you just want to draw your

breath, draw your salary, drag into heaven with a wasted life? Welcome to Love Worth Finding,

featuring the profound truth of the gospel simply stated by Adrian Rogers. In part one of today's message, we learned that the church

is the world's first idea of Jesus. We need to ask ourselves, do we exhibit the same power as the

amazing first century church who turned the world upside down with the gospel? The church exists

to exalt the Savior, to proclaim the manner of Jesus' life, the meaning

of his death, and the miracle of his resurrection. If you have your Bible, turn to Acts

Chapter 2, as Adrian Rogers shares more about the amazing first century church.

Now, I'm going to give you now a description of a church triumphant, and we're going to

ask God to make our church that kind of a church, found right here in the second chapter of the

book of Acts. You know, we talked about the principles of power and the Holy Spirit of God. But now,

once we have that anointing, that power, what do we do?

What is our purpose? Well, number one, we are to exalt the Savior. Now begin now in verse 22

of this chapter. The day Pentecost has come. All of these signs and wonders have been done.

The Holy Spirit has come and baptized that motley crew into the body of Christ. And Peter stands up to preach the gospel. And here's what he

says in verses 22 through 26. Ye men of Israel, hear these words, Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you

by miracles and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you as ye yourselves also

know, him being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God,

ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain, whom God has raised up,

having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be holding of it.
