What Makes a Church Truly Biblical? | The Blueprint Found in Acts

January 09, 2026

How can you tell if a church is truly continuing the ministry of Jesus? In this Daily Hope episode, Pastor John S. Dickerson walks through the opening of the Book of Acts to show what a New Testament church is meant to be. From teaching God’s Word and caring for people to depending fully on the Holy Spirit, Acts reveals the DNA of a healthy, Jesus-centered church. This message explains why no church is perfect, why the Holy Spirit is essential for both believers and churches, and how Acts bridges the life of Jesus to the mission of the church today. A powerful reminder of what the church is called to be—and why the Holy Spirit is not optional but essential.
