God's Holy Wrath (Acts 4:32-5:11) By Sandjaja Prawiro - Sunday April 14, 2024

April 15, 2024 16:50 - 52 minutes - 71.5 MB

Often, our discussions about God center on His love, forgiveness, and mercy, overlooking His holiness. God’s holiness and His nature are not two things, they are but one! God’s holiness is His nature, and God’s nature is His holiness. This holiness presents a dilemma for mortal beings—we are drawn to Him as our creator, yet we also feel small and unworthy in His presence. In the Old Testament, God's wrath is portrayed as a response to human sin and disobedience, contrasting with human anger...

On Sunday we gathered on what Christians have often referred to as “Palm Sunday”. It is a day that we celebrate the beginning of the most important week in history. This is the week that Jesus’s whole earthly life was building towards. And at the center of this week is the cross. The Gospel writers spend around 40% of their narratives on this one week. This one week, usually referred to as the Passion week, in Jesus’ earthly life represents about .1% of His time on earth, but the Gospel acc...

After the apostles Peter and John were released from jail, they did not stop preaching the gospel. This required boldness in the face of opposition.

Lets learn how the early church Christians lived out thei...

(Correction Timestamp 10:45 and 12:07, Jesus did not appear to 500 witnesses in the Gospel of Luke but 1 Corinthians 15:6) Waiting for something is not the easiest thing to do in life, especially when it comes to God’s promises.

As we go through Acts 1:12-26, I want us to pay special attention to...
