Witnesses: Silver & Gold - April 26, 2009

Witnesses: Silver & Gold

Texts: Psalm 84:1-2, 10-12; Luke 24:36-48; I John 3:1-7; Acts 3:1-16

Pastor Jon continues our exploration of the Early Church and what it means to be Jesus' witnesses. Peter and John are not swayed by the crippled man's stated needs, but look to meet his real needs--dignity, respect, the ability to walk, and the knowledge of Jesus. In doing so, not only is the man brought to salvation, but many more are added to their number.
