WHEN THE SPIRIT MOVES - Acts 10:44-48

In this powerful continuation of Acts 10, we witness the undeniable work of the Holy Spirit as He moves in the hearts of unexpected people, in unexpected places. As Peter is still preaching, the Spirit falls, confirming that the Gospel is truly for all.Join us as we unpack three key truths from this moment:1. The Spirit Comes Without Delay – God doesn’t wait for the perfect conditions. He moves when hearts are ready.2. The Spirit Breaks Down Barriers – Race, culture, background, and religion—none can stand against the unifying power of the Gospel.3. The Spirit Marks God’s People – The evidence of the Spirit’s presence is unmistakable. It’s a seal of belonging and transformation.This isn’t just history, it’s a reminder that God is still moving. The same Spirit that fell on Cornelius and his household is still at work in the Church today.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:Acts 10:44-48----CONNECT WITH US:Online: https://www.reachthegrove.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reachthegrove/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reachthegrove/Give: https://www.reachthegrove.com/give/----#reachthegrove #jesus #onlinechurch #faith #bible #believe #belong #cross #inspiration #christian #churchonline #truth #knowledge #trust #gospel #expository #preach #preaching #holyspirit #worship #praise #discipleship #sermon #bookofacts

BREAKING BARRIERS - Acts 10:9-33

In this powerful message from Acts 10:9–33, Pastor Roland walks us through one of the most pivotal moments in church history—when the Gospel breaks through generations of division to reach the Gentile world.We see how God used a vision, a Roman centurion named Cornelius, and the apostle Peter to reveal a bold truth: the Gospel of Jesus breaks every barrier—religious, cultural, and personal—so that all people can come into God’s family.Whether it's the walls we build around our traditions, our fear of stepping outside our comfort zone, or the invisible lines we draw between "us" and "them"—the Gospel tears them down.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:Acts 10:9-33----CONNECT WITH US:Online: https://www.reachthegrove.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reachthegrove/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reachthegrove/Give: https://www.reachthegrove.com/give/----#reachthegrove #jesus #onlinechurch #faith #bible #believe #belong #cross #inspiration #christian #churchonline #truth #knowledge #trust #gospel #expository #preach #preaching #holyspirit #worship #praise #discipleship #sermon #bookofacts

FROM KNOWING TO EXPERIENCING - John 3:16

In this message, we explore one of the most well known verses in the Bible, John 3:16, and discover how God's love is meant to be more than just understood intellectually. It's meant to be received, lived out, and experienced personally.Too many people know about God's love but have never truly allowed it to shape their identity, heal their wounds, or transform their lives. This sermon walks through what it looks like to move from information to transformation, from simply knowing that “God so loved the world” to actually experiencing that love in our daily lives.If you’ve ever struggled to feel God’s love or wondered how to respond to it, this message is for you.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:John 3:16----CONNECT WITH US:Online: https://www.reachthegrove.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reachthegrove/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reachthegrove/Give: https://www.reachthegrove.com/give/----#reachthegrove #jesus #onlinechurch #faith #bible #believe #belong #cross #inspiration #christian #churchonline #truth #knowledge #trust #gospel #expository #preach #preaching #holyspirit #worship #praise #discipleship #sermon #gospelofjohn
