6 PowerPoints in a Pandemic

Sermon TextActs 2: 4 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
Sermon Title7 PowerPoints in a Pandemic
Point 1: Power of togethernessActs 2: 1 2 …, they were all together in one place…John 15: 12 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
Galatians 5:13 6:1-3, 10 NLT - 13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer[a] is overcome by some sin, you who are godly[b] should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. 2 Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. 3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important. 10 Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.
Romans 12: 10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
1Thessalonians 5: 11 So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.

Point 5: Power of praiseActs 16: 25 25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

Point 6: Power of declaring. Acts 13: 8-11 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. 9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, 10 “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.”
