    September 3 - Acts (Part 2)
    2026/09/03
    Acts is an incredibly important book. It's not just simply history, it is a primer for how to live the Christian life and how the people of God are called to live with one another and toward the world. The book of Acts is filled with sermons and speeches. 10 major ones take up almost 1/3 of the book of Acts. Peter - 3 ⁃ 2:14-36 Pentecost pilgrims - Peter speaks to a devout Jewish audience. ⁃ 3:12-26 Temple onlookers - Peter speaks directly to the devout Jewish audience. ⁃ 10:34-43 Cornelius' household - Peter brings a message of salvation to the gentiles and here he speaks to a non-Jewish audience. Stephen - 1 ⁃ 7:2-53 Sanhedrin - Stephen gave such a great sermon, that it got him killed. He speaks of what the church is supposed to be. Paul - 6 ⁃ 13:16-47 - From a missionary trip #1, message given at the synagogue at Antioch and directed to Jewish people ⁃ 17:22-31 - From a missionary trip and delivered to a non-Jewish audience unfamiliar with scripture at the Areopagus at Athens ⁃ 20:18-35 - From a missionary trip - message is given to a gathering of Ephesian elders and tailored to who they were. ⁃ 22:1-21 - to a mob at the steps of a temple. ⁃ 24:10-21 - message delivered to Felix at Caesarea ⁃ 26:2-29 - message given to Agrippa II and to the court There is an often used phrase in Acts and is significant for the church then and for the church today. That phrase is: "Signs and wonders" used 9 times. These are God's works, and calls attention to the fact that He is who He claims to be. This phrase is first used in Exodus. It testifies to the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus. And God is still at work. We are seeing signs and wonders today, especially in the persecuted and desperate churches. The western world is Christianity light, but throughout history when people resolve to do what God calls them to do, pushback comes. When we take God seriously - the enemy hates that. As God does signs and wonders the enemy is not happy at all. When we do what is right in God's eyes the world and the enemy will hate us. This is why God says to hold tight to Him and we are drawn even closer to Him. There are mighty things that God is doing in the underground church in areas around the world. Pastor shares several testimonies of the wonders God is doing around the world today. Revival is taking place across the globe. ⁃ 2:19 ⁃ 2:22 ⁃ 2:43 ⁃ 4:30 ⁃ 5:12 ⁃ 6:8 ⁃ 7:36 ⁃ 14:3 ⁃ 15:12 "Signs and Miracles" ⁃ 8:6-13 We are introduced to "The Way" a name given to those who followed Jesus. The word Christian is also used in Acts. Disciple is the most common word for followers of Jesus. The Holy Spirit gives direction. The model in Acts is that God has the plan, God shows His children what to do, and the children pray for God to show them how to do what He's desiring they do. Pastor takes us through chapters 3 - 7. ⁃ Peter healing a beggar ⁃ Peter and John arrested ⁃ In a matter of a few months there are at least 10,000 believers in Jerusalem. ⁃ Preach that salvation is found only in Jesus Christ and tell this to the religious leaders. ⁃ They prayed to God for more miracles and that He would continue pouring out the Holy Spirit and they continue to preach irregardless of the pressure to stop. ⁃ The story of Ananias and Sapphira teaches that we need to be honest before God. ⁃ Peter is again placed in jail for speaking about Jesus and an angel releases him. ⁃ God desires not just our mind for learning of Him, He desires our hearts and to be in communication with Him and have a relationship with Him. ⁃ Stephen's speech was to the Sanhedrin and they became very angry and grab him and stone him. Stephen dies praying for those stoning him. ⁃ Saul witnesses the stoning of Stephen. ⁃ Pastor ends with the story of Saul's conversion. Saul comes to faith in Christ and is named Paul.

    August 27 - Acts (Part 1)
    2026/08/27
    Acts is an important book. It is the only spirit-inspired history that we have of the Christian church. It is far more than just what God once did. It is a description of how God works. It is a description of what His people are supposed to be, how we're to live, and how to carry out that work. Acts is a foundational book. Acts is a powerful book. It is a practical and applicable book for us today, because we are living in a repeat of the New Testament era in so many ways. Acts Author: Luke, the physician, gentile, also authored the Gospel of Luke. An historian and excellent author. Date: ca. 60-62 A.D. written shortly after the events of Acts took place.and while Paul was waiting for his trial. Book has an abrupt ending and leaves you wondering what happened next. Shortly after this book was written there was a fire in Rome and the emperor Nero blamed the Christians for it and thus unleashed a wave of persecution against Christians. It was during this time that Peter was crucified, that the Apostle Paul was beheaded, and much of the leadership of the Christian church was killed. Contents: 1. Volume 2 of a 2 volume work 2. Luke / Acts together are 1/4 of the New Testament 3. It is known as the Acts of the Apostles but might more accurately be called the Acts of the Holy Spirit. It's about the roll of the Holy Spirit leading and guiding believers in Jesus. 4. Historical value and Theological insight. Shows us life as a first century believer. The New Testament shows us that God does not change. What He did He still does. The Father gives the Holy Spirit to all who ask. We are to base our theology on all of Scripture, not excluding Acts. Luke gives us amazing teachings about the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. He gives us amazing truths that are life-changing. Pastor shares some personal stories of how the book of Acts has changed his life. Outline of Acts ⁃ Acts 1-12 Acts 1:8 Jesus says to his disciples: "you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses to Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria..." In the heart of the Israelite nation. These first chapters show Peter's work in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. ⁃ Acts 13-28 Jesus' words in Acts 1:8 after Samaria, continue with "to the ends of the earth." These chapters starting in chapter 13 are about Paul taking the message to the "ends of the earth." Pastor focuses in on the first 2 chapters of Acts. Jesus has ascended, and the Holy Spirit has come and the Holy Spirit leads and guides us. In Acs we see that when God moves the enemy pushes back. Doing things God's way brings opposition from the enemy, but they faced it in the confidence of God. They took up their crosses, died to self and followed Jesus no matter what the cost. We are to suffer for the cause of Christ. Through faith in Jesus we receive that gift of the Holy Spirit. Our mission is to make disciples not church goers, Our goal is to hasten the day of Jesus' return because He is coming again. Chapter 2 tells us of Pentecost and the day the Holy Spirit came to the disciples. A wind came and tongues of fire were on their heads and they were able to talk in different languages. Peter tells doubters that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is what God has promised. He quotes from Joel and Peter is saying that we have not entered a new era, that we have entered the "last days."

  • August 20 - Luke

    August 20 - Luke
    2026/08/20
    Luke Author: Luke, the physician, was a Gentile, possibly from Antioch, he was an associate of Apostle Paul Date: ca. 58-62 A.D. Contents: 1 Gospel of Luke is the 1st of a 2 volume work. 60% of this Gospel is unique to Luke and not recorded elsewhere. 2. Addressed to "most excellent" Theophilus, Theophilus may have been a man of high standing, a government official 3. Stresses Jesus as Savior of the world (19:10 is the central truth of the Gospel of Luke "the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.") 4. Focuses on both Jesus' works and His teachings Purpose: Possibly a Legal defense of "the Way" (followers of Jesus) Emphases: 1. Holy Spirit 2. Prayer 3. The importance of Women 4. Gentiles - that God intends the entire world to hear the Gospel message 5. Jesus' message is for the Outcasts - and we are called to do the same Unique to Luke: 1. Birth narratives and Songs - Tells of Jesus' birth in greater detail. The Song of Mary (Magnificat), the Song of Simeon (Nunc Dimittis) 2. Jesus' childhood years 3. Parables only in Luke: - Good Samaritan - Prodigal Son - Rich Fool - Persistent Widow 4. People only in Luke: - Zechariah - Elizabeth - Simeon - Anna - Zacchaeus 5. Disciples on the Emmaus Road and Jesus' Ascension stories are only told in Luke Luke tells things that were from eyewitness testimonies. Ex: "Mary treasured these things in her heart" has the feel of a personal interview. Luke is also good at giving details such as where things happened and personal information on who was involved. Luke gives many detailed stories surrounding Jesus' birth story that are not in any of the other Gospels. The book opens with the story of the Priest Zechariah and his wife and their son John the Baptist. Then the book moves to Mary. Luke tells the birth story from Mary's perspective. And then into the Baptism of Jesus and Luke includes the detail that it was as Jesus was praying that the Holy Spirit descended on Him as a dove. The bulk of the book is on the works and teachings of Jesus including several Parables included in Luke that are not in the other gospels but that share important faith lessons for us to learn. God does not look at what people look at. It's not about what we've earned and achieved. God looks at the heart. We can have everything the world has to offer and we end up with nothing. But with God even though we have nothing, we have everything! Jesus' desire is that all come to know Him. He warns the disciples about the coming difficult days but to continue to depend on Him. He also predicts the destruction of Jerusalem and that Jerusalem would be over taken by Gentiles, (which happened in 70 A.D.) Jesus tells them the control of Jerusalem by the Gentiles would continue until "the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled." The time of the Gentiles continued for 1900 years, but then in 1948 the Jewish people returned to their homeland. Pastor shares that then in 1967 - an event he says he is old enough to witness - took place. The Jewish people took control of Jerusalem. We've lived to see "the time of the Gentiles fulfilled." What does this tell us? It is saying we're getting closer to the time of Jesus' return! Luke shares the words of Jesus from the cross. And it is Luke who shares the story of the man on the cross next to Jesus who gave his life to Jesus. Luke shares the story of Jesus' death, resurrection and the story of the women finding the empty tomb. Luke then shares the story of the two people on the road to Emmaus. Jesus joins them along the 7 mile walk, Jesus explains to them what is said in the scriptures concerning Himself. Following this event, Jesus shows Himself to the disciples in Jerusalem, opening their minds to understand the scriptures. Jesus tells them the Holy Spirit is coming and the book closes with the Ascension of Jesus. Luke's Gospel is a carefully written book. Written in chronological order, it is an intentionally laid out book. Next week we explore the second volume of Luke's work. Join us next week for part 1 of our study of the Gospel of Acts.
