Now I would like to show you  a number of scriptures from the book of Acts which will show you how the Name of Jesus helped to establish the early church. When you read these scriptures in sequence you wil begin to see the power and authority of the Name of Jesus."  Acts 2:38,"Then Peter said to them,Repent, and let everyone of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ fror the remission of sins,and you shall recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 3:6-7, " Then Peter said, Silver and Gold I do not have, but what I do have,  I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones recieved strenght. Acts 3:16,"And His name, through faith in His name,has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all." Acts 4:7and 10, by what power or by what name have you done this? Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Isreal, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole." Acts 4:12,"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:18,"And they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus." Acts 5:12,"And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people."Acts 5:28,"Did we not strictly command you not to teach in His name."Acts 5:40,"and when they called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus." Now we will look at Luke 10:17,"Then the seventy returned with joy,saying, Lord even the demons are subject to us in Your name." By studying all of these scriptures about the name of Jesus, you will have a great appreciation for the great power and authority of His name.
