Pentecostalism on SermonAudio

We look at the Feast of Pentecost, also known as the Feast of Weeks or Feast of Harvest. Also Reference: (John 19:31), Matthew 28:1, 1 Corinthians 15:23, Matthew 28:6, Acts 1:3, James 1:18, Romans 8:23, Matthew 9:37-38 https://bbfohio.com

Joel: He sees Pentecost, the restoration of Israel, final judgments, and the coming Kingdom! Amos: A shepherd given a burden from God for nations surrounding Israel and Israel itself.

The sermon establishes the origin of the church at Pentecost, distinguishing it from Israel through the unique doctrine of spirit baptism and the indwelling Holy Spirit. It explains that while Israel had a 'come and see' stewardship, the church operates under a 'go and tell' mission to all nations as part of God's single historical plan. The speaker highlights the concept of the church as a mystery previously hidden in God, revealing Jew and Gentile as one body. This new dispensation shifts the basis of sanctification from the law to dependence on the Spirit, producing Christ's life in believers. Ultimately, Christians are viewed as stewards who will be evaluated at the judgment seat of Christ for their faithfulness in this new role.

The sermon explores the forty-day period between Jesus' resurrection and ascension, highlighting how He appeared in tangible yet supernatural ways to equip His followers for a new reality. By examining encounters with Mary Magdalene, the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and Thomas, the message emphasizes that the risen Christ transcends time and space while retaining His physical scars as proof of redemption. This interim phase serves to teach believers to recognize Jesus' presence in everyday life and understand that God transforms past suffering rather than erasing it.

The sermon interprets Peter's Pentecost sermon as a declaration that the 'last days' began with Christ's first coming, rendering the Old Testament sacrificial system obsolete. It argues that the cosmic judgments described in Joel and quoted by Peter symbolize the imminent destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD, rather than the end of the physical world. Pastor Chastain emphasizes that God removes all false religious substitutes to clear the way for faith in Jesus Christ alone. By contrasting the believers' boldness with the crowd's mockery, the message highlights the urgency of responding to the gospel while it is available. Ultimately, the text asserts that salvation is found exclusively in calling on the name of the Lord amidst this historical transition.

The sermon explores the necessity of appealing to both the heart and the mind in Christian conversion, emphasizing that true faith requires the grace of God rather than mere emotionalism or intellectual assent. Drawing from Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 13, it defines divine utterance as the Holy Spirit's power enabling believers to speak with authority, a gift that remains vital despite the cessation of tongues. The speaker warns against quenching the Spirit through worldly distractions and encourages active obedience and prayer to maintain spiritual sensitivity. By contrasting superficial religious performance with genuine reliance on the Holy Ghost, the message urges listeners to hunger for righteousness and discern truth from error through Scripture. Ultimately, worship and testimony must center on glorifying God, relying on His power rather than human wisdom or emotional manipulation.

In the morning, we will be looking at how the fellowship of the Christian believers developed in the early New Testament church, following the apostle Peter's great Pentecostal Day sermon. In particular, we will consider "The Marks of the Church."

The sermon establishes the origin of the church at Pentecost, emphasizing that Spirit baptism is the exclusive mechanism for incorporating believers into the body of Christ. It analyzes Acts as a transitional narrative where Jews, Samaritans, Gentiles, and disciples of John all received the same spiritual experience, proving there is no distinction in salvation status among these groups. The teaching contrasts dispensational theology with covenant theology, arguing for a strict distinction between ethnic Israel and the church while affirming that believers partake in the blessings of Israel's covenants. It further defends the deity and personhood of the Holy Spirit within the Trinity and asserts that spiritual gifts like tongues were temporary signs for authentication during the apostolic era. The overarching theme is that God's primary purpose in history is to demonstrate His glory through these distinct redemptive acts.

Grab your Bible and join us from the Savannah Mission Bible Training Center as we study the Baptist Catechism Question 48. The preface to the Ten Commandments ("I am the LORD your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery," Exodus 20:1-2) shows that grace always precedes and grounds obedience. The Exodus story— bondage, Passover lamb, Red Sea deliverance, wilderness journey, and law given at Sinai—is a living parable of salvation in Christ: the Passover points to Christ our sacrificed Lamb, the Red Sea to baptismal union with Him, the wilderness to our pilgrimage of dependence and sanctification, and Sinai to Pentecost where the Spirit writes the law on hearts of flesh. Redeemed from sin's bondage, we are called to grateful obedience—not to earn salvation, but as those bought with a price—living as thankful servants who having the blood of Christ applied walk by faith in the Spirit.

The sermon examines the events of Acts chapter two, focusing on the preparation and phenomena surrounding the day of Pentecost. It highlights how the early church was prepared through unity, prayer, and praise, creating an atmosphere conducive to the Holy Spirit's manifestation. The speaker contrasts the old covenant law with the new covenant spirit, emphasizing that the Spirit empowers believers rather than condemning them. Key elements of the Pentecost event include a sound like wind, tongues of fire, and speaking in known languages to spread the gospel. The message concludes by urging believers to seek God's presence through worship and unity, warning against mocking or dismissing the work of the Holy Spirit.

Peter's Pentecost sermon draws on Joel, Psalm 16, and Psalm 110 to make one thunderous point: the Jesus they crucified is both Lord and Christ, proven by the Spirit poured out, the resurrection that David foretold, and the throne he now occupies at God's right hand. Knowledge of these facts is not enough without the faith and repentance that respond to them.

Acts 13:48 — Every doctrine gets built like a Jenga tower — stack enough man-made pieces on a good foundation and eventually the whole thing topples. Time to check Irresistible Grace against the foundation itself: God's Word. This topical Bible message examines "Irresistible Grace" — the "I" in the Calvinist TULIP doctrine — and asks whether Scripture actually teaches an inward, effectual call that cannot be resisted, or whether God offers grace to all mankind and gives every person a real choice to respond by faith. This study on Calvinism and free will walks through Isaiah 46 and 55, Jeremiah 32, and five chapters of Acts to see the actual pattern of salvation in the early church. If you've ever been told you have no free will in salvation — or told that you do — this message won't ask you to trust a theological system. It asks you to trust the text. This verse-by-verse look at conversion in Acts traces the pattern from Pentecost (Acts 2) through the healing at the temple gate (Acts 3-4), Saul's conversion on the Damascus road (Acts 9), the Philippian jailer (Acts 16), and finally Acts 13:48 itself — including a look at how the NIV's "appointed" differs from the KJV's "ordained," and why that distinction matters. This message walks through Isaiah 46, Isaiah 55, Jeremiah 32, and Acts 2-16, explaining: - Why theological systems are dangerous to build on top of each other like a Jenga tower - What Isaiah 55:8-11 teaches about God's word never returning void - Jeremiah 32:35 and what it means that something "never came into God's mind" - The pattern of salvation at Pentecost (Acts 2) - The healing of the lame man and its evangelistic purpose (Acts 3-4)

This class focuses on the theme of the kingdom of God as found in Luke/Acts. We show that the kingdom of God is mentioned in Luke 1 with the message to Mary from Gabriel the angel, and is found early in Acts in Peter's preaching on Pentecost, and finally in the end of Acts with Paul's contending about the kingdom of God. Since this is so important, we discuss key issues about what is revealed about the Kingdom of God in Luke/Acts. The kingdom of God is grounded in the identity of Christ as the Davidic king promised in Psalm 110:1. Peter's Pentecost sermon contended that David could not be the promised one who would rule because his grave was still with them. Jesus was raised from the dead and ascended to heaven where He rules at the right hand of God. We also examine passages about the judgment of hardening which is mentioned in Isaiah 6 as cited in Acts 28:25-27. We cite passages in Luke about hardening of those who reject the clear evidence that Jesus is the Messiah. The kingdom of God is not a territory on earth. Wherever the King resides there is the kingdom. The kingdom of God will not be on earth until the King returns to rule on earth. Now it is in heaven at the right hand of God. All believers have access to our Lord who hears our prayers.

Text: Acts 2:37-41 | Speaker: Levi Bakerink | Description: After Peter finished his Pentecost sermon, the hearers were "cut to the heart" and asked what they must do to be saved. Through their question and Peter's answer, we learn what the proper response to the gospel message is—repentance and faith in Christ and baptism into his name. All this is the work of the Spirit in the lives of believers, fulfilling the gracious covenant promises of God to his people.

This Bible Study examines the immediate response to Peter's Pentecost sermon in Acts 2, highlighting the call to repentance and baptism as public identifications with Christ. It explores the theological significance of receiving the Holy Spirit and the universal scope of God's promise to all whom He calls. The text details the early church's devotion to apostolic teaching, fellowship, the Lord's Supper, and prayer, which fostered a community marked by awe and generosity. Through their shared life and practical care for one another, believers demonstrated favor with the surrounding people while the Lord continuously added to their number. The message emphasizes that salvation is a gift received by faith, resulting in spiritual renewal and conformity to Christ's image through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Church PT1.What comes to mind when you hear the word "church"? Many people think of a building, a denomination, or a Sunday event. But the Bible teaches that the church is much more than a place we attend—it is a people God has called together for His glory.In this first lesson, we discover that the church was not man's idea but God's eternal plan. Before Bethlehem, Calvary, or Pentecost, God already envisioned a redeemed people who would belong to Him. The church was established by Jesus Christ, purchased by His blood, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry the Gospel to the world.Acts Chapter 1 reminds us that Christ left His followers with a mission: to be His witnesses everywhere. The church exists to worship God, fellowship with believers, grow through discipleship, serve others, and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.We learn that the church is the "Ekklesia"—the called-out assembly of believers. It is both the universal body of Christ and the local congregation where believers worship, pray, learn, and serve together. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, people from every background become one family in Christ.This lesson also highlights the importance of Christian fellowship (koinonia), where believers share life together through love, prayer, service, giving, encouragement, and even suffering. The church is not a spectator event but a spiritual family on mission for God.The ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper remind us of Christ's death, burial, resurrection, and our commitment to follow Him. They are visible testimonies of the grace we have received through Jesus Christ.The church is God's people, established by Jesus Christ, empowered by HS.

Sermon: When Christians Disagree Text: Romans 14:1-12 Speaker: Pastor Jason Van Bemmel In this sermon on Romans 14:1-12, Pastor Jason Van Bemmel explores how believers should navigate secondary disagreements and matters of conscience. Opening with a fascinating historical anecdote about a dispute between famous 19th-century preachers Charles Spurgeon and Dr. George F. Pentecost, the message demonstrates how Christians can hold very different personal convictions while maintaining true friendship and ministry partnership. Short Summary Outline: Introduction: The Reality of Disagreement • Dr. George F. Pentecost publicly shared that he gave up smoking cigars, viewing it as a "little sin". • Charles Spurgeon, a cigar smoker, responded that without a clear biblical command, he could enjoy a cigar to the glory of God. I. Welcome One Another Without Contempt • In the Roman church, returning Jewish believers (the "weak in faith") and Gentile Christians clashed over Old Testament dietary laws and holy days. • Paul commands believers to welcome one another without quarreling over non-biblical opinions, because God has already welcomed them both. II. Remember Who is Actually in Charge • We must not judge the conscience-bound choices of other believers because Jesus is their Master. • This call for positive tolerance applies only to extra-biblical convictions, not obvious sins like sexual immorality, greed, or laziness. III. Prepare for Your Own Judgment • Judging others leads to the false measurement of comparing our holiness to theirs. • Believers will face a "stewardship judgment" regarding their time and opportunities, but they face zero condemnation because Jesus

Jesus declares Himself the source of living water during the Feast of Booths, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies regarding God's provision and future eschatological hope. The sermon explains that this promise refers to the Holy Spirit, which Jesus poured out upon His church at Pentecost after His glorification. Believers receive this Spirit not merely for personal renewal but to participate in Christ's ongoing ministry of blessing the nations. The church acts as the new temple, where the Spirit flows through preaching, sacraments, and spiritual gifts to transform the world. Christians are called to continually drink from Christ and fan the flame of the Spirit to serve others in their daily lives.
