Opening Day: Jesus' Movement | Andy Stanley
Channel: Hamilton Mill Church
Date: 02/03/2024

When the church first began, a natural question surfaced right away: What shall we do? The answer had to do more with understanding who your faith was in more than what needed to be done.

- The responsibility of current Christians to maintain the original intent of Jesus' assembly is emphasized, using the first-century church as a model.

- The cultural significance of the early Christian movement is explored, including the empowerment of believers through the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

- Peter's sermon in Jerusalem invites devout Jews to change their mindsets, indicating the transition from traditional temple worship to a new era in Jesus.

- The initiation of the church is depicted as inclusive and unifying, challenging individuals to publicly embrace the movement of Jesus for forgiveness and empowerment through the Holy Spirit.
