Podcasts about Acts 2

Pastor Luke Simmons unpacks why our physical lives and practices matter so much for our spiritual formation. In this message from our series, "The Glory of Salvation," he explains how baptism and the Lord's Supper serve as God-given, physical pictures of the invisible realities of salvation.  Luke contrasts ancient Greek ideas about the body and soul with the Bible's vision of whole-person redemption, then walks through what Scripture teaches about baptism and communion. He also answers common pastoral questions:  - What is baptism, and what does it actually signify?  - What is the Lord's Supper, and how is it different from baptism?  - Does baptism save you?  - Are you baptized into a local church or into Christ?  - Why does our church encourage kids to wait to be baptized?  - How should parents think about kids and communion?  - Should you get baptized again if you were baptized as a child?  - Why do we take the Lord's Supper every week?  Whether you're new to Christianity or have followed Jesus for years, this sermon will help you better understand and appreciate these two key practices and how they point you to Christ's finished work.00:00 - Introduction09:42 - What is Baptism?15:09 - What is the Lord's Supper?**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

God saves us, then He adds us to His Son's Church.  We're in Acts chapter 2 today--Be Blessed!

Text: Acts 2:1-13 The Holy Spirit being given to the church is one of the most significant moments in church history, and it defines who we are as a body. But one of the most amazing things about the giving of the Holy Spirit is that he is given to the whole church, he unites the church, and he makes it so the message may be understood by all who hear the gospel and are ready to receive it. In a very real way, the giving of the Holy Spirit undoes what was done at Babel. But instead of us trying to climb to heaven, heaven had descended to us and adopted us as citizens.

Vital Signs of a Spirit-Filled ChurchActs 2:42-47Teacher: Pastor Tommy BaileyDate: March 1, 2026In Acts 2:42-47, Luke pauses the whirlwind narrative of the early church to pull back the curtain on the ordinary, day-to-day life of a community transformed by the Spirit of God. What he reveals are the vital signs of a church that had come alive. A people hungry for God's Word, bound together in deep fellowship, radiating with worship of God, and devoted to prayer. Right in the middle of a culture known for its moral decay and lust for power, this peculiar band of believers lived in a way that was both strange and compelling to the watching world.Join Pastor Tommy as we explore what it looks like when the Holy Spirit shapes a community from the inside out. Their devotion was the natural overflow of hearts that had been cut to the core by the gospel of Jesus. The same Spirit who set that young church ablaze is still doing His transforming work today.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Acts 2:22-47 - The Church is Birthed - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Acts2026/a1446.pdf

Series: N/AService: SundayType: SermonSpeaker: E.R. Hall, Jr.

Discover how the early church sustained one of history's greatest revivals through surprisingly ordinary means. After 3,000 souls were saved at Pentecost, the early believers faced a crucial question: how do you maintain spiritual momentum after such an extraordinary move of God? This powerful message explores Acts 2:42-47 and reveals the four pillars that sustained the early church's growth and spiritual vitality. Learn about the difference between manufactured revival and genuine spiritual awakening, and how ordinary faithfulness in teaching, fellowship, prayer, and breaking bread created lasting transformation. Explore the meaning of biblical awe, the power of Christian community, and how radical generosity flows from authentic relationships. Understand why the early church chose daily fellowship over just Sunday worship, and how their bigger tables rather than bigger fences attracted others to faith. This biblical teaching on church growth, Christian community, spiritual disciplines, and revival will challenge you to move beyond merely attending church to truly participating in the lives of fellow believers. Perfect for pastors, church leaders, small group studies, and anyone seeking to understand how God builds His church through faithful people committed to ordinary spiritual practices. Keywords: early church, revival, Acts 2, Christian fellowship, church growth, spiritual disciplines, biblical community, Pentecost, apostles teaching, prayer, breaking bread, koinonia, fear of the Lord, Christian generosity, church history, spiritual awakening, biblical awe, daily fellowship, authentic Christianity.

Filled with the Spirit, Pointing to Jesus Acts 2:14-41Teacher: Pastor Matt PiersonDate: February 22, 2026In Acts 2, we witness the powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit as Jesus fills His followers gathered in Jerusalem. Then Peter—once the fearful disciple who denied Jesus—stands up, filled with the Spirit, and boldly proclaims the gospel.What transformed Peter from frightened fisherman to fearless apostle? The same Holy Spirit who breathed new life into him now lives in us. As Charles Spurgeon said, without the Spirit, “we are as ships without wind, or like coals without fire.”Join Pastor Matt this Sunday as we explore what it means to be filled with the Spirit and to live lives that point to Jesus.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Rev. Clay Wooten

In the final week of our stewardship series, we turn to what may be our most limited and most revealing resource: time. Drawing from Acts 2:42–47, this sermon explores the early church's intentional rhythms—worship, shared meals, prayer, generosity—and what they teach us about how we order our days. Time is not just something to manage; it is something to steward with purpose. We consider four invitations: growing deeper with God, investing in real community, serving through acts of mercy, and practicing Sabbath in a culture that resists rest. If we are mortal and cannot do everything, then our choices about time become spiritual decisions. What might change if we lived not as “human doings,” but as human beings—trusting that even of time, there is enough?

On The Literary Life podcast this week, Angelina and Thomas are back with this second episode on the play Don Juan by Moliere. After sharing their commonplace quotes for this week, Thomas kicks off the discussion of the play with a definition of the farce and how it applies to this play. They share more notable passages of Don Juan as they highlight related literature and stories from across Europe, the archetypes and stock characters represented by Sganarelle, and the value of the comedic form. They also talk about other works that were influenced by this play. Don't forget to check out the complete show notes for this episode at https://theliterary.life/316.

The disciples of Jesus have been praying in the wake of their Lord's ascension and departure, waiting for the promised Holy Spirit. In a magnificent display, the Holy Spirit arrives and the disciples begin to clearly speak different languages. Native-born peoples from various lands hear their own tongues being spoken by these Galileans and are simultaneously amazed and confused. Peter stands to address this crowd of Jews, quoting Scripture and explaining what happened to Christ, God's Messiah. He calls them to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus, and about 3,000 are added to the number of those following Christ. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Acts 2 reminds us that Jesus didn't leave us without a purpose. Instead, He entrusted the Good News to Christians everywhere. This sermon explains how the Church continues Jesus' work by making disciples and sharing the Gospel through the Holy Spirit's power. 

The Holy Spirit: God With Us, In Us, and Through UsActs 2:1-13Teacher: Pastor Jim ThomasDate: February 15, 2026Acts 2 is noisy, visual, disruptive, astonishing and historically pivotal. What does the Bible mean by phrases like: the outpouring of the Spirit, the baptism of the Spirit, being filled with the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit? And why was the coming of the Spirit so decisive in the rapid, unstoppable spread of the gospel in the first century?In Acts 2:1–13 we are taken to the Day of Pentecost—when the risen and exalted Lord Jesus poured out the promised Holy Spirit on His people. This was not just a religious pep rally; it was the fulfillment of God's ancient promises and the moment when the church was empowered for its global mission.Join Pastor Jim as he walks us through this amazing passage to see how the Holy Spirit is God with us, God within us, and God working through us to make Christ known to the nations.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.
