New Wine and Old Wineskins

In this episode, Pastor Christian walks us through Acts 5, where the early Church is growing rapidly, and the religious establishment struggles to contain the fresh movement of the Holy Spirit. As thousands turn to Christ, the old wineskins of tradition and rigid religion begin to crack under the pressure of new life.We see how jealousy, confusion, fear, and rage filled the hearts of the religious leaders — emotions that rise when human control is threatened by God's work. Through the Apostles' obedience and boldness, the gospel continues to spread despite opposition, reminding us that when God opens a door, no one can shut it.This teaching challenges us to stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit, to walk through the doors God opens, and to remain faithful to the new work He desires to do in and through us.
