September 10, 2017 Acts 2:42-47 ESV PRIMARY SOURCES: * Special credit belongs to Dr. Timothy Keller for many of the insights from point 1 of this sermon -- "One Book." This specifically pertains to the language of treating Jesus as a personal assistant, accepting only 90% of the Bible, and the "knife being more solid material" than us. Deepest thanks to Dr. Keller for his insights.
