The Gospel & The Commission | November 8, 2026 9:00AM Service

In week 15 of 'The Case for Biblical Literacy' series, Pastor Kevin Cain turns to the Book of Acts and the epistles to ask two questions: how did the apostles advance the Gospel, and what did they run into as it spread to the ends of the earth? Using Paul's sermon in Acts 13 as the model, he shows that every apostle preached the same message: the whole Old Testament points to Jesus, the one Savior who offers a universal invitation to Jew & Gentile alike. They carried that message into synagogues, marketplaces, and debating halls - the same way believers today are sent into their churches, workplaces, and campuses. Drawing on Jeremiah 2:13, John 7, and Ezekiel 47; Pastor Kevin describes the Holy Spirit as a river of living water that can die in two ways. A river can lose its banks and become a destructive flood of chaos, as it did in Corinth, or it can dry up into a cistern of legalism, as it did with the rule-adding Judaizers in Galatia, while Ephesus swung from one extreme to the other. The message closes with a call to live in the healthy flow of freedom & order, new wine in new wineskins, because "freedom without order is a destructive flood, and order without freedom is a dry riverbed."
