AND THE CHURCH GREW

The name of Jesus is able to do what no amount of human persuasion or human power can ever do. He alone can impart strength and sensation to paralyzed legs. His power alone can raise a corpse from the dead. He alone can call a soul out of spiritual bondage and impart eternal life . He is still doing great wonders in changing depraved natures, breaking hard hearts, subduing obstinate wills, enlightening darkened judgments, and winning rebellious minds. God is still in the miracle making business but we fail to see that the greatest miracle of all is the saving of the lost soul. When the church, does what it’s supposed to do, the Lord blesses; this is when the church grows. So, Peter goes out of Jerusalem and visits the new churches and God decides to bless with miracles: lame walk, dead rise, loners join the assembly and all of them are souls forgiven of their burden of sin and reunited with their Heavenly Father. And the church grew.TEXT: ACTS 9:32-43SONGS:AWESOME GOD, PHIL WICKHAM, MW. SMITHWAYMAKER, LEELANDTOO GOOD TO NOT BELIEVE, EMMY ROSEMIGHTY TO SAVE, HILLSONG
