  Speaker 2: Our endeavor here is to speak the truth of God plainly, boldly,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: without compromise a man because we are entrusted by God
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: with the word of the Lord. We've been entrusted with

• 1:55
  Speaker 2: be faithful to the truths of the scriptures, to preach
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the Word, to be instant in season out of season, reprove, rebuke,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: exhort with all.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Long suffering and doctrine.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: For we know, as the Bible tells us through prophecy,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the time will come when men will not want to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: endure sound doctrine. And we know that we are living
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: in such a time as that which the Bible has
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: already spoken of.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And so Amen.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And again it is our a man endeavor, by the

  Speaker 2: help of God, to a man be faithful to the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: scriptures and preach the word of the Lord. Amen, without compromise.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: All right, before we begin Acts chapter number four, let's
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: take a moment to invoke the presence of the Lord Father.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We are just so grateful to You for all of
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: your mercies that are new every morning. Great is your
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: faithfulness to us.

  Speaker 2: You've been good, You've been merciful, You've been faithful, compassionate,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: long suffering, and forgiving loved us with an everlasting love,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: even while we were yet in our sins.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Lord, you came seeking to save that which was lost.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And we pray even now that your mercy will extend
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to somebody today who needs to know that you are
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the true in the Living God.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Lord.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Someone's eyes and ears will be open, their hearts will
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: be receptive to come to believe and know that you
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: are the true in the Living God.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And there is none beside the save us, and we
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: shall be saved.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Help us, and we shall be helped keep us, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: we shall be kept by the power of the Mighty,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Almighty and Living God. We give you praise and honor today,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and the name of Jesus Christ, we praise the thanks,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Amen and amen no other salvation. Verse number one, Acts,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Chapter four, reading from the King James version. And as
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: they spake unto the people, the priests and the captain
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, being
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: greed that they taught the people and preached through Jesus
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the resurrection from the dead. And they laid hands on
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: them and put them in hold unto the next day.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: For it was now evening tide. Howbeit many of them
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: which heard the word believed, and the number of them
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: was about five thousand. And it came to pass on
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the Mara that their rulers and elders, and scribes, and Annus,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the High Priest, and Caiaphas, and John and Alexander, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: as many as were of the kindred of the High Priest,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: were gathered together at Jerusalem. And when they had set
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: them in the midst, they asked, by what power or
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: by what name have you done this? Then Peter, filled
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: with the ego, said unto them, ye, rulers of the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: people and elders of Israel, if we this day be
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: examined of the good deed done to the impotent man,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: by what means he has made whole. Be it known
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: unto you all and to all the people of Israel,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: ye crucified, whom.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: God raised from the dead, even by.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Him, doth this man stand here before you. Hold This
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: is the stone which will set at naught of you builders,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and is become the head of the corner.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Neither is their.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Salvation in any other, For there is none other under
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and they took knowledge of them that they.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Had been with Jesus.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: The Acts of the Apostles chapter number four, Verses one
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: through thirteen. This all takes place in the aftermath of
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the miracle healing of a crippled man who had never
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: walked Amen, when the Apostles were on their way in
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: chapter number three to the temple to pray, and the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: man asked of them alms, and Peter said, silving gold,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I do not have, but such as I do have,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: give idea in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Up and walk Amen.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: So this a man healing, called such a commotion, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the people were all amazed. And of course Peter went
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: on to take the opportunity to preach the gospel to them.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And this is why.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: The chief priests and the rulers and all of the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a man establishment is disturbed because of a man. The
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: fact that the Apostles are now preaching Jesus Christ, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: people are yet marveling today when they hear of the unapologetic,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: bold preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that is,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: by the way the power of God to salvation to
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: all who will believe, to all who will receive this gospel.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: One thing that I am absolutely certain about is this.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: The Word of God is crystal clear about who the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Savior is. The Word of God is crystal clear about
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the fact that it is through this Savior alone.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: That we are to be saved.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: The Word of God is crystal clear in the record
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: of the unambiguous statements of Jesus Christ himself made concerning
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: who our Savior is. I am he is what Jesus
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: said emphatically. Now, of course, this is the source from
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: which Peter and John and the rest of these Upper
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Room disciples, if you will, got this audacious spirit to
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: teach the people this way of salvation.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Of course, from the perspective of a man.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: The rulers and again the establishment, these men were ignorant,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: they were unlearned, they will untrained, and the one and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: only other source of their boldness and learning had to
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: come from none other than the man called Jesus, who
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: they assumed they were done with after he was sealed
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: up in that tomb.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But now, oh no, no.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: No, Now they are contending with not one preacher, not
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: one miracle healer.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: But do you remember what Jesus said to the apostles,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: greater works, you'll be able to do.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: And because I go to the Father. And now that
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: they were multiplied, remember why Jesus.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Was even here.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: He gave the disciples power to go out and perform
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: miracles and signs and wonders. And he also on another occasion,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: sent out seventy And so now that Jesus is gone,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: they're not contending with just this one preacher, just this
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: one miracle worker, just this one proclamator, if you will.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But now it would soon be, and it already has
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: turned into literally an army of soldiers who would go
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: into all the world preaching this same Jesus, a man
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: who was by the way, very much alive, who is
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: even now seated at the right hand of the Majesty
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: in the heavens. So who is the focus, the central
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: focus of the preaching of the apostles to the people,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: none other than Jesus, the Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, whom
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: they had cruci five. And this is exactly what Peter
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: reminds the people of who had consented, by the way
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to the murder of Jesus, Jesus of Nazrath is still
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: performing miracles of healing, even though, Amen, he is no
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: longer bodily here a man in the flesh. It is
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: through his name, it is through the power. It is
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: through the authority that he is given to the apostles,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: given to the Church, given to those who believe on him,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: that through that name, and that name only by the way.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Remember in the Book of Acts. Later on they will
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: have these, Amen, seven sons of Skiva, who would take
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: upon themselves a man the audacity to cast out demons
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: from this demon possessed individual. Of course, the demons did
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: come out, but before they came out, they said, Jesus,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I know, and Paul, I know, but who are you?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And they leaped upon them and wounded them and drove
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: them out, a man naked and a shame, as it were.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And so again, Jesus, although.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: He is no longer here bodily in the flesh, because
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: of course he's risen from the dead, a death hell
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: in the grave, and he ascended back up into heaven,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: and the apostles by the way witnessed his ascension a man,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: as he was taken up on a cloud. And again,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: even though he is no longer here, and they no
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: longer are contending with one preacher, one apostle, one chief apostle,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: if you will, that's who Jesus is. He's the chief apostle.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: They are now contending with an army of soldiers. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: this lame man has been made hold by Jesus, Peter says,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: by the name of Jesus, by the power that's in him,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: by the authority that we have vested in us. This Jesus,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: who is the stone that was rejected by you, the establishment,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: who is now the head of the corner. He is
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the chief cornerstone. You ought to ree the scriptures, Peter,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: in my mind, I believe he would, And I don't
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: know if he did refer back to this, but of
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: course he was in essence referring to the stone that
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: was cut out without hands a man, the stone that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: The Bible speaks of in the Old Testament, that.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Same rock that provided water in the desert, that same rock, Amen,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: that is a man, that great mountain that feels the
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: whole earth, that crushes all of the kingdoms of this world.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: This man was healed by this Jesus, who is the
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: chief cornerstone, on whom the whole building is fitly framed
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: and put together. And if you and I are to
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: be saved, if you and I are to be free
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: from blood guiltiness, this is what Peter is preaching to
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: these people. There is one and only one by whom
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: you must be delivered. What Peter and Apostles would go
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: on to preach not on on that day, but insisted
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: on until they were martyred for the insistence. I mean,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: they insisted on this. Ladies and gentlemen. They preach Jesus.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: They preached him crucified, they preached him risen. They preached
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: him as God. They preached him as the Judge. They
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: preach him as the one who is coming back. They
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: preached Jesus. That's what we need to be preaching today. Amen,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: we need to preach Jesus. Go into all the world.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Jesus commanded and commissioned the church. Preach the gospel. What
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: is the gospel, The good news of Jesus Christ, the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: good news of salvation, the good news of hope, the
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: good news of deliverance, the good news that you and
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I don't have to die where we can live.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: So they insisted all the way unto martyrdom, that this
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Jesus is the only way that has been provided for
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: man to be save. Now for the life, I want
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: to say, for the life of me, but I'm still alive,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: But for the life of these bold eyewitnesses of Jesus
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: who laid down their lives for this good news.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: That man has been given away too escape.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Why is this so difficult for people to comprehend. I
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: don't think it's difficult for them to comprehend.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think it is at.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: All, because I mean, it's crystal clear. Jesus spoke plainly,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: he stated, And this is where Peter and Apostles got
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: this from.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Remember they struggled themselves with believing who Jesus was.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And remember Jesus asked his disciples, who the men say
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: that I am? Some say you are liar, some say
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: you are the want of the prophets. Some say this Jesus,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: who do you say that I am?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: That I am?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Peter spoke up and said, thou art the Christ, the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: son of the Living God. And you know what Jesus
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: said Peter Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: You don't get the revelation of who Jesus is. No
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: man can say. The Bible says that Jesus is Lord.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Except by the Holy Ghost. No one can come except
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the Lord, the spirit of God. The Holy Ghost draws them. However,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, there is no confusion. There is no
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: ambiguity about the statements that are made in scripture. Again,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Jesus himself spoke plainly, and he stated in no uncertain terms.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: That he is the Way, He is the Truth.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: He is the Life, he is the Light, he is
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the Door, he is the good Shepherd, he is the Messiah,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: he is thee I am. He is the one who
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: forgives sins. He is the fulfillment of the prophecies of
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: the scriptures of old. And Jesus went on to say, also,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: if you do not believe that I am He, you
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: will die in your sins.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Now again, for those who are.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Still not yet clear in your minds, understand if you
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: will that there is absolutely no other way, no other help,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: no other hope, no other option, no other appeal, no
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: other avenue, no other rescuer, no other recourse, no other approach,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: no other atonement, no other intercessor, no other mediator. I
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: could go on and on and on the Bible, the
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: word of God, Jesus himself, the scriptures of old crystal
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: clear that Jesus is our one and only way to
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: be saved. That's why Peter stated it so clearly, Acts four,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Chapter twelve, Acts Chapter four, brother Verse twelve. Neither is
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: their salvation in any other For there is none other
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: name under Heaven given among men whereby.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: We must be saved. Now let me close with this.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: God was in no way obligated to provide even one
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: way for man to be saved from his rebellion against
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: his creator. But God, being the loving Father that he is,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: God being the gracious God that he is, God being
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the forgiving and compassionate source of mercy that he is,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: of his own kindness towards us, he provided one way.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: For all men to be saved.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: And that one way was, is, and will forever be
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ alone.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: There is salvation in none other.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Lord, Open eyes, ears, hearts, Speak as only you can
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to the hearts of those who are yet in unbelief,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: that they may come to know that you are the
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: True and the Living God, the only way of salvation.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Be glorified, be magnified in Jesus' name. We pray, give thanks, Amen,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: and a man
