In this sermon, the preacher discusses the book of Acts as a blueprint for the church. He emphasizes the importance of the early church's relationship with the Holy Spirit. The preacher encourages prayer for missionaries and workers who are spreading the gospel. He also highlights the need for a comprehensive church program that includes revival meetings, education, publishing, and missions. The sermon concludes with a comparison between the church of today and the early church, expressing concern about the lack of progress in winning souls for Christ.

Harry Ironside addresses the debate surrounding the nature of the Church as depicted in the book of Acts, arguing against ultradispensationalist views that suggest a transitional period between the law and grace. He emphasizes that the Church, the Body of Christ, was formed at Pentecost through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and that the apostles were fully aware of their mission to spread the Gospel to both Jews and Gentiles. Ironside asserts that the Church is one and indivisible, and that the teachings of Paul and the other apostles were consistent throughout their ministries, without a significant break in the dispensation of grace. He concludes that the Church of God, purchased by Christ's blood, remains unified and is not divided by differing interpretations of Scripture. The sermon calls for a careful reading of Acts and the epistles to understand the continuity of the Church's mission.
