Deep Springs Baptist Church Sermon Series

Acts 2:39-41: The Birthday of the Church "For the Promise is Unto You!"

We continue in our study of Acts chapter two and the birth of the Church.  After Peter's sermon, the Holy Spirit brought deep conviction on the crowds.  Peter urged them to repent and be baptized in Jesus' name and they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Peter reminded them that the promise of the Holy Spirit is for them, their children, and to those who are far off.  We also look at the sovereignty of God in calling sinners to repentance. 

Acts 2:38 "The Birthday of the Church Part IV"

We continue in our study of Acts chapter 2.  After the signs of Pentecost and Peter's great sermon, the crowds fall under conviction.  Upon asking Peter and the Apostles what they must do, Peter explains they must repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus, and they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  We will examine some of the controversies and misunderstandings that stem from this passage of scripture.  Please join us with an open Bible as we study God's Word. 

Acts 2:37-38a "Birth of the Church Part III: The Need for Repentance"

After Peter's powerful sermon on the Day of Pentecost, the crowd felt deep conviction and a sense of urgency.  The Word of God and the Spirit of God had produced this conviction.  Their question ("what shall we do?") indicated their desperate desire to be right with God. Peter then explains that the first step is repentance.  In this message, we will examine what repentance is and what it is not. 

Acts 2:14-36 "Birth of the Church Part II: The Church's First Sermon"

Continuing in our study of the birth of the Church, we will examine the content of Peter's first sermon on the day of Pentecost.  His introduction from Joel counters the claim that the Apostles were drunk.  He then moves on to the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of the Lord Jesus.  This is a masterful sermon rich with theological content from the Old Testament Scriptures. 

Acts 2:1-13 "The Birth Day of the Church (Part One)"

Today we look at Acts 2 and the birth of the Church.  Luke is careful to explain to us that what he is writing about is the fulfillment of the ancient feast of Weeks (or Pentecost).   We will look at the sounds, sights, and Spirit-inspired speech that followed. 

Hebrews 2:5-18 "Why Did God Become a Man?"

In this 12-22-24 sermon, we look at reasons for the Incarnation.  Why did God have to become a man?  This explains the true meaning of the Nativity. 

Phil 4:4-7 "Don't Worry About Anything, Pray About Everything

In this end of the year sermon, we look at Paul's letter to the Philippians.  He encourages them to rejoice always in the Lord.  He exhorts them to cast all of their anxiety on the Lord and pray instead of worrying.  As we do those things (with thanksgiving!) the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds! 

Matthew 2: "Christmas in Prophecy"

In today's episode we look at four specific prophecies concerning the birth and infancy of Jesus Christ.  His birth in Bethlehem and subsequent flight to Egypt, Herod's slaughter of the infants, and the Royal Family settling in Nazareth were all predicted by the Old Testament prophets.  These are no mere coincidences and all prove that Jesus Christ is indeed the promised Messiah of Israel and the world! 

Luke 2:22-38 : "The Greatest Baby Dedication"

Joseph and Mary bring the infant Jesus into the Temple.  He is obedient to all of the regulations of the Law.  Simeon and Anna are representative of the godly remnant who were looking for the Messiah. 

Judges 16: "Remember Me"

We come to the conclusion of the Samson narrative.  How will he be remembered? What lessons can we glean?
