Sunday, October 26, 2025"We Believe: Th Holy Spirit" - David ElksSermon based on Acts 4:23-31(reading by Matt Trenchard)

What does true unity look like in the church? In Acts 4:32–37, we see a powerful picture of believers filled with the Holy Spirit—living with one heart and one soul, sharing generously, and proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus with great power. This passage reminds us that unity isn't just agreement—it's the supernatural work of God's Spirit that fuels mission, strengthens believers, and glorifies Christ.

Speaker: Pastor Giles LitznerThe Spirit protects the authenticity of the message by exposing counterfeits and continuing to advance the mission.

What would you do if you were told to stop talking about Jesus?In this Sermon, we'll look at Peter and John standing on trial before the most powerful leaders in Israel. They boldly proclaim judgment — and then astonishingly offer grace and forgiveness through Jesus to the very men who orchestrated His death.The result: threats to stay silent.Their response:

The apostle Peter is transformed from hiding and denying knowing the name of Jesus to bolding proclaiming salvation in the name of Jesus, "unable to top speaking about what [he has] seen and heard." Stephen explains to the Jewish leadership how the Story of Scripture has all led to Jesus and becomes the first Christian martyr. We are introduced to a young zealot named Paul, who "breathes" threats and murder against the followers of Jesus. It is the explosive, beginning of the church; no one is left unchanged by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Come listen as Addison teaches over Acts 4:33-5:11.

We have seen the threat to the early church from the religious leaders who from the outside tried to stop the apostles from speaking in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Today we see another threat that comes from within. When the impurity of deceit and hypocrisy surfaces in the church, it is a threat to her unity and the power of her witness. May the Lord use this example to lead us to greater purity of heart for Christ. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

Acts 4 | Packinghouse Greg Peter and John heal a beggar and are arrested for preaching Jesus' resurrection; before the Sanhedrin, Peter (filled with the Spirit) says the man was healed “by the name of Jesus Christ… whom you crucified, whom God raised,” declaring salvation is found in no one else (Acts 4:10–12). The council, unable to deny the miracle, threatens them to be silent, but they answer they must obey God and speak what they've seen and heard, and are released. Real authority is Jesus' name and resurrection, not religious or political control; time with Jesus plus the Spirit is enough to witness; when human commands contradict Christ's commission, obey God with nonviolent courage.

Acts 4:23-37 reveals that success in adversity comes not from waiting for trials to pass but from seeking the Lord, resting in His sovereignty, and praying for boldness even when afraid. When threatened by authorities, the early church didn't pray for comfort or revenge but for courage to continue speaking God's Word. Their faith was proven genuine through selfless living, biblical unity, and radical generosity—demonstrating that a ground-shaking God enables His people to remain unshakable.

The preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ is met with both unbelief and belief. Unbelief in Jesus is more than indifference, it is opposition to him. Genuine belief in Jesus leads to faithfulness to him. Acts 4 exposes unbelief and calls for repentance. It also shows the kind of thinking and praying that keeps us boldly believing and proclaiming him. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

In this week's message from Everyday Mission, we see two sides of the early church—radical generosity and sobering deceit. In Acts 4:32–5:11, the Holy Spirit empowers a community marked by grace, unity, and dependence on God, while also revealing the danger of hypocrisy and self-promotion. The gospel calls us to live open-handed lives, trusting that everything we have belongs to Him. When God's Spirit transforms our hearts, generosity becomes more than giving—it becomes worship.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Acts 4 teaches that the gospel transforms cultures not through compromise but through believers who know who they are because they know who God is. When religious leaders arrested Peter and John for healing a lame man, they revealed the real issue wasn't truth but control. The apostles' boldness came not from arrogance but from an unshakeable foundation: a dead man was walking, proving Jesus's resurrection and validating their message that salvation exists in no other name.
