Holy and RighteousFebruary 16, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 3:11–26This Sunday, Greg Pinkner continues our series on the Book of Acts. Acts 3:11-26 is Peter's second sermon and follows the miraculous healing of a lame man, drawing a large crowd in Solomon’s Portico, where Peter seizes the opportunity to proclaim Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s promises. He connects Jesus to Israel’s history, emphasizing that He is the suffering servant prophesied in Isaiah, the Holy and Righteous One whom they denied and handed over to Pilate, asking instead for a murderer to be released. Peter declares that Jesus, the Author of Life, was raised from the dead by God, and that faith in His name has brought healing and restoration. He calls the people to repentance, promising that their sins will be blotted out and that times of refreshing will come from the Lord. Ultimately, Peter points to Jesus as the fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham, sent first to Israel to bless them by turning them from their wickedness and inviting them into God’s Kingdom.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

These verses show us how important it is to be actively involved in a church community, serve others, and embrace the unity found in Christ.

Peter, empowered by the Holy Spirit, boldly preaches to the crowd, explaining that Jesus’ death and resurrection fulfill Old Testament prophecy. He connects the moment to the prophecy of Joel, showing that God’s Spirit is now poured out on all people, and calls the listeners to repentance and baptism. The passage culminates with 3,000 people believing and being added to the church, marking the explosive beginning of the gospel’s spread.

First FruitsJanuary 26, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Acts 2:1–13This Sunday, Greg Pinkner, continues our series on the Book of Acts. In Acts 2, we see the birth of the church as the Holy Spirit descends during Pentecost, marked by the mighty rushing wind and tongues of fire resting on each believer, symbolizing God's covenantal presence and action. This event is a reversal of the Tower of Babel, uniting people from different nations by enabling the apostles to speak in various tongues, allowing everyone to hear the gospel in their own language. The fire signifies God's presence, holiness, and purification, echoing His appearances throughout the Old Testament, from Moses' burning bush to the fire on Mount Sinai. Believers are now the temple of God, carrying His presence into the world, signifying a new covenant where the Spirit dwells within His people. This moment establishes the church as one people under one Lord, fulfilling God’s redemptive plan and gathering the first fruits of His Kingdom.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/

Now to HimJanuary 5, 2025 • Greg Pinkner • Romans 16:25–27This Sunday, Gospel Sunday, Greg teaches from Romans 16:25-27, where Paul summarizes the Gospel as God's power to strengthen believers through Jesus Christ.

The Last and Greatest DayDecember 29, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • John 7This Sunday, Greg teaches from John 7. He looks at the significance of New Year’s as a time for renewal.

Christmas Eve at FellowshipDecember 24, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Isaiah 60:1–21We often strive for perfection during the Christmas season, only to realize it’s unattainable, as life is filled with imperfections and unexpected challenges. The story of Jesus’ birth is a testament to this, set in a backdrop of political upheaval, hardship, and imperfection—far from the peaceful and ideal scenario we might imagine for the arrival of the Savior. Yet, the beauty of Christmas lies in the promise of God’s presence with us, even in our brokenness and imperfection, offering hope and light amid darkness. The prophetic words of Isaiah remind us of a future where God’s everlasting light and glory will make everything whole, a day when mourning will end, and righteousness will reign. Until then, Christmas serves as a glimpse of this ultimate redemption, reminding us of God’s enduring presence and the hope of what is to come.WEBSITE: https://fellowshipknox.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipknox/
