Straightway He Preached Christ

The sermon traces the transformative power of divine grace through the conversion of Saul, who, after encountering the risen Christ, immediately proclaims Jesus as the Son of God with fearless boldness, confounding his former allies and provoking persecution. Despite initial disbelief from the Jerusalem disciples, his authenticity is confirmed by Barnabas, allowing him to join the apostles and boldly preach, ultimately leading to his forced departure for safety. The narrative then shifts to Peter's ministry, where healing and resurrection—exemplified by Aeneas's miraculous recovery and Tabitha's restoration—demonstrate the ongoing work of Christ's Spirit through His church, resulting in widespread revival and faith. These miracles, rooted in divine authority and faith, underscore the church's mission to walk in reverence and comfort, multiplying through the power of the Holy Spirit, and affirming that God's redemptive work continues through faithful witness and supernatural intervention.
