Message: “The First New Covenant Sermon – Part 1” from Shawn Merithew

A message from the series “Sermons.” As we saw in the previous text, crowds of people had gathered to see what was going on when they heard the sound of the Spirit and the Christians speaking in tongues. Some of them were asking the honest question “What do these things mean?” and some accused the Christians of being drunk.

Message: “Tongues of Fire” from Shawn Merithew

A message from the series “Sermons.” The Day of Pentecost is the Birthday of the New Covenant People of God, and it is a day of explosive power and truth and joy.

But in this sermon we will see it is more about God’s glory in fulfilling His promise to establish Christ’s kingdom in the next era of redemtive history. Through these 13 verses, we are taught just how Christ builds His kingdom.

Through these 6 verses, it is made very clear who we are in this world. The church is a people defined wholly by Christ.
