What does the Bible really teach about speaking in tongues? In this episode, Jonny and Hank dig into the gift of tongues from a biblical perspective — walking through Acts 2, Acts 10, Acts 19, and 1 Corinthians 12–14 to examine whether tongues in Scripture refers to known languages or a private prayer language.Hank shares a personal story from his college years visiting a charismatic church, then unpacks:- What tongues meant in Acts 2 (the Day of Pentecost)- How Luke's authorship and timeline shape the interpretation of Acts- 1 Corinthians 13 and the "tongues of angels" — literal or rhetorical?- Whether tongues is a sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit- Paul's instructions for order in the church (1 Corinthians 14:27, 14:23)- Early church history: Gregory of Nazianzus, Chrysostom, and the origins of the modern private prayer language movement (Charles Fox Parham, Agnes Ozman, 1901)- Romans 8:26 and the Spirit's intercession in prayerThis is a respectful, Scripture-first conversation for anyone wondering how to think biblically about tongues, the charismatic movement, spiritual gifts, and the sufficiency of God's Word — without dismissing sincere believers who see it differently.
What is the true message of the Gospel, and how are we called to respond to it? In "The Power of the Gospel - Part II," Pastor Travis Aicklen continues the "Is This Thing On?" series by challenging us to step into a season of spiritual harvest. While the life of faith often requires us to wait well, there is also a time to move boldly when God calls us to act. Pastor Travis breaks down the core of the Gospel message and confronts the excuses we make for delaying evangelism. Tune in to the full message to discover how God is calling you to reach the lost people in your life.Key PointsOvercoming Our Excuses: We often delay sharing the Gospel because we expect hostility, feel unqualified to answer hard questions, or become too near-sighted with our own daily appetites. Jesus reminds us that the fields are already ripe for the harvest. (John 4).The Compassion of Christ: Jesus came for the lost, as illustrated by the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, showing that God's heart is set on rescuing those who are far from Him. (Luke 15).Finding Your 'One': Every believer is challenged to identify one specific person who is far from God, pray for them, and intentionally share the Gospel with them.Conclusion & Call to ActionAre you willing to push past your comfort zone and share the Good News with someone in your life? Stop waiting for "four more months" and recognize that the harvest is ready now. Find the courage and conviction to reach your "one".

The early Christians were devoted to four things: teaching of the apostles, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers. As Christians we will have an opportunity to thrive if we devote ourselves to the same four things. "The Environment for a Thriving Faith", Craig Ford, 08-02-26
Colton dives into how the early Church modeled a devoted community to scripture, prayer, fellowship, and prayer.
In the final message of The Story We're In, we discover that the Church isn't a building to attend but a people filled with God's presence, sent on God's mission, and invited to God's table. As we look ahead to the day when Jesus makes all things new, we're reminded that our calling isn't to simply wait for heaven—it's to faithfully join God's work of renewal here and now.Check out the sermon at bridge.tv/sermons or wherever you stream podcasts.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

What is the Gospel, and how does it advance in our world today? In this insightful message, Pastor Travis Aicklen dives into the Book of Acts to explore the undeniable power of the Gospel. Whether you are a longtime believer or just exploring faith, this sermon challenges us to understand how the Holy Spirit moves and how different people respond to the Good News. Tune in to the full message to discover how God might be calling you to reach the people in your own life.Key PointsHonoring the Word: Believers are called to pray that the word of the Lord speeds ahead, but we must also ensure it is honored and never watered down just to attract a crowd (2 Thessalonians 3).The First Sermon: After the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, Peter preached the very first Christian sermon in Acts 2, boldly declaring Jesus as both Lord and Christ to a diverse crowd.The True Response to the Gospel: A genuine encounter with the Gospel leaves people "cut to the heart," which leads to repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Spirit, and joining a devoted community (Acts 2).Different Paths to Faith: Using Acts 16 as a model, Pastor Travis highlights three distinct ways people come to Christ: through intellectual reasoning (Lydia), supernatural power encounters (the enslaved girl), or witnessing authentic Christian character in the midst of trials (the Roman jailer).Conclusion & Call to ActionTake a moment to consider the people in your life—are they looking for a logical appeal, a demonstration of God's power, or an authentic example of Christian living?

SUMMER SCHOOL - Back to Basics - Holy Spirit 101 - Week 7 - Acts 2 & John 15 & 16 - Jeff Bachman by FBC Benicia
Peter and John heal a man lame from birth in Jesus' name, publicly confirming apostolic authority within Israel's continuing temple-centered kingdom setting and prophetic hope.
A sermon from our series on the book of Acts. Date: 2 August 2026 Speaker: Ben Smart Acts 2 www.stmatthews.com.au/unichurch
“And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:44–47 NLT) I love new believers. They are the lifeblood of the church. When I have the privilege of speaking to other pastors, I tell them that if they don’t have a constant flow of new believers coming into their congregations, they will become spiritually dead. We can either evangelize or fossilize. Show me a church where new believers are not coming in, and I’ll show you a church that is stagnating. Show me a church that has new believers coming in on a regular basis, and I’ll show you a church that has vibrancy and life. That said, new believers need older believers to stabilize them. New believers’ hearts are full of zeal, but they don’t understand the ground rules yet. They need older believers to teach them. Older believers also need new believers. They need their zeal. They need their passion. They need their excitement to remind them of what they’ve forgotten. Sadly, it’s usually the new believers who want to do the most when they know the least. When we ask people to help out with something at Harvest Christian Fellowship, we often have new believers who come and say they want to help: “I’ll do whatever you need. I would like to sign up for six ministries.” While we’re very appreciative of their willingness to serve, we want them to have a good foundation first so they can be properly trained and equipped to do what God has called them to do. On the other hand, there are older believers who have known the Lord for years, maybe even decades, who don’t give a passing thought to helping out at church. It should be just the opposite. But as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, I want to point out that what’s true for the church is also true for our country. New believers are the lifeblood of our country. Our nation was forged in the flames of revival. And we pray for a new revival to sweep across this country. The description of the church in Acts 2:44–47 serves as a model: “And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved” (NLT). In the meantime, every new believer, every decision made for Christ, represents a mini revival. As these new believers commit themselves to the biblical truths and principles on which our nation is built, our nation becomes incrementally stronger, more vibrant, and more attuned to God’s leading. When we share our faith, we’re not only changing lives, but we’re also changing our country. Reflection question: What would it look like in your life to prioritize sharing your faith?

God Speaks Your Language Acts 2:1-13
A Church That Draws Near (Acts 2:42-47) | Kieth Seymour
Can you follow Jesus without going to church? And if you've been hurt, disappointed, or disconnected from church, is it even worth coming back?Many people are searching for authentic community but end up feeling isolated, skeptical, or convinced that faith can be lived alone. In this message, we explore what the Bible actually says about the purpose of the church through Acts 2:42–47 and Hebrews 10:23–25. Instead of a building or an event, Scripture presents the church as a people who gather, give generously, and grow together because of what Jesus has done for them.If you're wrestling with faith, community, or wondering whether church still matters, this message offers a hopeful, biblical perspective worth considering.Watch, reflect, and discover what real church was always meant to be. If this encourages you, subscribe for more messages exploring faith and everyday life.
