The Gospel in a Pluralist Society

The early church ministered in a pluralistic society with numerous gods, religions, philosophies and beliefs, very much like the world today. Is belief simply a matter of individual conscience?

The Acts 4 passage and message takes us through the problem with truth claims, the problem with the problem with truth claims, the solution and provision for the problem.

This message shows in his sermon how that first miracle points upward, points forward, points inward, and points downward.
