Sermon clips from Wilmette churches

31s
“Jesus' death and resurrection redeems rescues us from sin and separation from God. The greatest impact that the gospel has is to cleanse us of our sins and to reconcile us to God. We see this in verse 14. Look what it says in verse 14. Multitudes of men and women are turning to Jesus for salvation and new spiritual life. There's spiritual change, but the good news also does bring change to people's everyday lives.”
31s
“gospel impact means there is visible and tangible transformation as well. We see here that people are being healed. Their physical lives are being made whole. Okay. But what does that mean now for us today? Right? Because God typically doesn't have us perform miracles or healings or casting out of demons, but we do demonstrate the power of the gospel when we serve others, when we do good to others in the name of Jesus.”
18s
“But there's something else going on here. Right? Look at verse 42. Every day in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus.”
25s
“I say this almost every Sunday. Who are at least five people in your life who don't know who don't know the Lord? Maybe it's a family member or a friend or a classmate or a coworker or a neighbor. Pray that God would give you opportunities to share the gospel. If you're Christian, doing healthy Christian things, there should be increase in gospel impact.”
