Daily Hope with Pastor John S. Dickerson


The Day the Church Exploded | How the Holy Spirit Built the First Church

January 11, 2026

What does a healthy church actually look like—and how did it all begin? In Acts 2, Pastor John S. Dickerson walks through the moment the Church went from 120 believers to over 3,000 in a single day. This Daily Hope episode explores Peter’s Spirit-filled preaching, the power of the gospel, and why growth is a natural result of the Holy Spirit at work. Before structures, programs, or buildings, the early Church was fueled by truth, bold preaching, repentance, baptism, and the power of God. This message sets the stage for understanding what Jesus intended His Church to be and why Acts 2 still matters for believers today.
