We Need What the Early Church Had

About this sermon

• What happened to Peter, and what happened to those disciples, has got to happen to us.  • • They were changed from fearful, doubting, running, hiding, fleeing, scared, backboneless, wishy-washy, denying disciples of Jesus to men who eventually gave their life in death.  • • Jesus was not looking at what the disciples were or how much they had failed, but He was looking at what He could make of them.  • • Great preaching alone cannot reach the world.  • • Do you know why the Early Church reached the then-known world? The early church produced the proof that Jesus Christ was who He claimed to be!  • • The early church had to convince the world that Jesus Christ was Lord from the foundation of the earth!  • • God, what must we do that we might work the works of God?  • • And they went forth and preached everywhere.  • • God working with them.  • • There is no way that you can enter into the realm of the supernatural, and have God begin to use you to manifest the supernatural, without running into the conflicting forces.  • • You’d better know how to deal with the negative forces of unbelief.  • • Don’t worry about what anybody says. Just get on with the job. Heal the sick. Cast out devils. And let the works speak for themselves!  • • I’m talking about laying hold onto a spiritual breakthrough that enabled the Early Church to take the world!  • • God is not depending upon who we are or what we possess, God is depending upon what He can make of us! - Morris Cerullo  • • Maybe the early church had something that we need today!
