John Piper, Jesus Is the Christ, the Son of God (Acts 9:19-22). The truth that Jesus is the Son of God needs to be one of the central pillars in our understanding of reality. Having listened to Piper's sermon, How would you say you or anyone can come to know the Son?
John Piper, Jesus Still Turns things Around (Acts 9:23-43). Jesus does not like pessimistic views of life or history. He has surprises in store that you have never dreamed. Do you agree with Piper that Jesus turns problems and systems and things around? On what basis?
John Piper, What God Has Cleansed Do Not Call Common (Acts 10:1-11:18). Mission Week. Cornelius would not have been saved if no one had taken him the gospel. And no one will be saved today without the gospel. How can we be made better at sharing our faith?
Piper, Exalting Jesus So the Spirit Falls (Acts 10:36-48). If you want the Spirit's power in your life, make Jesus the center of your life: [...]The Spirit is sent to make Christ real to people and to show us who he really is in his glory so that we come to love him and trust him and obey him and show him to the world. How did Peter exalt Jesus? By presenting Jesus as follows:
- Jesus, the Bringer of Peace;
- Jesus, the Lord of All;
- Jesus, a Man Anointed with the Spirit and Power;
- Jesus, a Man Stronger Than Sin and Satan;
- Jesus, a Man Who Was Killed in Spite of His Goodness;
- Jesus, Alive from the Dead and Raised by God;
- Jesus, the Final Judge of All People;
- Jesus, the Source of God's Forgiveness for Our Sins.
What aspects of Jesus' person or life did the Spirit of God use to make Christ known to you personally?
