The Beautiful Name
Acts 4:1-12
Dr. Gregg Hagg, a seasoned pastor and theologian, conducted a two-year sermon series on the Book of Acts, which chronicles the spread of the early Christian church after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This series was designed to provide a comprehensive and engaging overview of this pivotal time in Christian history and to help congregants gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by the early church.
Over the course of the series, Dr. Hagg delved into the key themes and lessons presented in Acts, such as the importance of community, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the need for boldness in spreading the Gospel message. He drew on his extensive knowledge of the Bible and Christian history to provide insightful and thought-provoking commentary on each passage, and encouraged members of his congregation to reflect on how these lessons apply to their own lives and spiritual journeys.
On January 14, 2006, Dr. Gregg Hagg covered Acts 4:1-12 in a sermon titled "The Beautiful Name." This passage describes the arrest and trial of Peter and John after they healed a man in the name of Jesus. Dr. Hagg emphasized the power and significance of the name of Jesus, which has the ability to heal, save, and transform lives. He challenged his congregation to recognize the beauty and authority of Jesus' name and to boldly proclaim it to the world, trusting in the salvation that it brings. Dr. Hagg also called on his congregation to have courage and faith in the face of opposition, knowing that they serve a risen and victorious Lord.
