Acts 2.22-36: "Preaching the Gospel" (7-13-25)

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Two and Verse Fourteen

JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE MESSIAH (Acts 2:25-36) In our message today, we continue listening to the first sermon of the new church age.  It was preached by a Holy Spirit filled and anointed Peter whose purpose was to convict the Jewish people of the terrible crime that they had committed.  For they had rejected and crucified the promised Christ, the Messiah that they had been waiting on for so long.  Now, Peter was offering them an opportunity to come to that Messiah for repentance and forgiveness.  Peter was preaching on the day of Pentecost, in front of thousands of Jews from all over the world.  The Jews had just witnessed the outpouring of the Holy Spirit through the 120 disciples speaking in the various tongues of their homelands.  They had come to celebrate the feast of Pentecost and instead they had witnessed a miracle.  Their reaction was one of confusion and mockery.  As he stood up to begin his sermon, Peter responds to the questions of the Jews by using Scripture.  Something they were very familiar with.  He proclaims that they should not be surprised by these events, as the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is similar to those events prophesied by Joel that will take place in “The day of The Lord,” which refers to the Great Tribulation and Millennial Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then, Peter starts to build his case for the proof that Jesus is the Christ, the promised Messiah:  First, he proclaims that Jesus was a recognizable Messiah.  Jesus had performed miracles unlike anything ever seen before in the history of the world.  This was evidence that He had been approved of by God.  He was the one who had fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament prophets. Next, Peter proclaims that Jesus was a rejected Messiah.  The crucifixion of Christ had been foreknown by God from the foundation of time.  When God acted in creation, He had also acted in redemption.  But this did not excuse the rejection of the Messiah, the Son of the Living God, by God's people.   Then, Peter proclaimed the best news of all, that Jesus was the resurrected Messiah.  Jesus was alive, He could not be left in the grave.  Peter declared that it was impossible for God to have left Jesus in the grave. Jesus died for our sins, but He was sinless.  He arose in victory.  Click on the play button to hear a message on the wonderful truth that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah.

God is in sovereign control over all things that happen, including tragedies, but that is not opposed to His compassion and His will for us to weep with those who weep.

Jesusis finally condemned by Pilate and sent to be crucified on Golgotha. Accordingto John's Gospel, Jesus is forced to bear His cross. “And He, bearingHis cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called inHebrew, Golgotha" (John 19:16-18). (By the way, Johnis the only Gospel that does not mention Simon of Cyrene by name.) Matthew'sGospel tells it this way: “Now asthey came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. " (Matthew 27:31-33). Mark'sGospel gives us some additional information about Simon of Cyrene. “And whenthey had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him,and led Him out to crucify Him. Then they compelled a certain man, Simon aCyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of thecountry and passing by, to bear His cross. And they brought Him to the placeGolgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull” (Mark 15:20-22) Historyalso gives us some information about the country of Cyrene where Simon wasfrom: Jews began migrating to Cyrene as early as the 3rd century BCE, primarilyunder Ptolemy I's policy to strengthen Cyrenaica, with further migrationsoccurring during the Roman period. The reasons for migration included politicalstrategies (Ptolemaic resettlement), economic opportunities (Cyrene'sprosperity and trade), religious connections (ties to Jerusalem), and, in laterperiods, escape from persecution or instability in other regions. By the timeof Simon of Cyrene in the 1st century CE, the Jewish community in Cyrene waswell-established, influential, and closely linked to Jerusalem, as evidenced bytheir synagogue and presence at major Jewish festivals. Cyrene was located inpresent day Libya next to Egypt. Itwas a part of the prisoner's humiliation that he carry his own cross to theplace of execution, so when Jesus left Pilate's hall, He was carrying eitherthe cross or the crossbeam (John 19:17). Apparently, He was unable to go on,for the soldiers had to "draft" Simon of Cyrene to carry the crossfor Him. (This was a legal Roman procedure. See Matt. 5:41.) When you considerall that Jesus had endured since His arrest in the Garden, it is not difficultto imagine Him falling under the load. But there is something more involved:carrying the cross was a sign of guilt, and our Lord was not guilty! Thousandsof Jews came to Jerusalem from other nations to celebrate the feasts (Acts2:5-11), and Simon was among them. He had traveled over 800 miles from Africato celebrate Passover, and now he was being humiliated on a most holy day! Whatwould he say to his family when he got home? But might have looked to Simon like a catastrophe turned out to be awonderful opportunity, for it brought him in contact with Jesus Christ. Simonprobably had come into the city of Jerusalem to attend the 9 a.m. prayermeeting in the temple, but got caught up in the crowd following Jesus to Hiscrucifixion. But God's providence place him in the right place at exactly theright time. It was then that the soldiers “compelled” him to carry the cross ofJesus.  Wehave good reason to believe that Simon was converted because of this encounterwith Jesus. Mark identified him as "the father of Alexander andRufus" (Mark 15:21), two men that Mark assumed his Roman readers wouldknow. A Christian named Rufus was greeted by Paul in Romans 16:13, and it ispossible that he was the son of Simon of Cyrene. Apparently Simon and his twosons became well-known Christians who were held in honor in the church. BeforeSimon met Jesus, he had religion and devotion; but after he met Jesus, he hadreality and salvation. He did both a physical and spiritual "aboutface" that morning, and it transformed his life. God can still useunexpected and difficult situations, even humiliating situations, to bringpeople to the Savior. What is your story?

Pentecost represents a divine catalyst for spiritual advancement, calling believers to move beyond their past limitations into God's empowering presence. Today's message explores how the Holy Spirit transforms ordinary people by filling them with supernatural power to fulfill their God-given purpose.• Pentecost celebrates renewal, restoring what has been devoured by life's difficulties• The Holy Spirit fills not just buildings but individual believers, equipping each person uniquely• God accepts us with our imperfections, demonstrated through the leavened bread offerings in Leviticus• Character development must match our spiritual calling to avoid personal shipwreck• Peter's journey from denial to boldness illustrates God's redemptive power through the Spirit• Waiting with expectation alongside other believers creates an atmosphere for breakthrough• The 50th day represents God's perfect timing for supernatural intervention• Generational connection between seniors and young adults strengthens the church body• Spiritual gifts need activation through intentional asking and openness to God's power• Moving forward requires both the power of the Holy Spirit and our willing participationJoin us tomorrow evening as we continue pressing into God's presence.

THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS (Acts 2:4-24) We certainly have seen a full list of Biblical doctrine in the messages over the last few weeks.  For we have seen the disciples wait on the Holy Spirit, and then we have seen them regenerated by the Holy Spirit, baptized by the Holy Spirit, sealed by the Holy Spirit, gifted by the Holy Spirit, anointed by the Holy Spirit, and then filled with the Holy Spirit, when it arrived with a display of awesome sound and awesome sight.  The disciples went up into that upper room a group of individuals, and then came down as members of one body, changed by the Holy Spirit into new creations as the body of Christ. We continue the same pattern this week as we get to see the Holy Spirit speak through believers who have surrendered to the will of God, who are now filled with the Holy Spirit and are allowing Him to work through them.   Now, I believe that if you were to ask most lost people and, unfortunately, a great many believers, if the Holy Spirit had ever spoken to them, the answer would be “No” and then they would give you this look like maybe you were crazy, or in need of some serious counseling.  In fact, most people don't even believe the Holy Spirit exists.  But, of those groups that do believe that the Holy Spirit of God exists, many think of Him as only a mystical force or energy that moves around the world like wisp of wind.  Now, it is certainly true that the Holy Spirit does have force and energy, but He is also a Person, just as is the Father, and the Son, and one of the characteristics of a person is that they speak. Since this is true, what does the Holy Spirit say?  Jesus gave us the answer to that question when He announced the coming of the Comforter.  He tells us that the Holy Spirit testifies of Him.  He tells us that Jesus is alive, that Jesus loves you, and that Jesus died for your sins.  But, there is much more. Click on the play button to hear a message on what the Holy Spirit has to say to you, and through you.  It is a message that will embolden you to share the gospel message of Jesus Christ.

Community is not just a program or a preference, it is the very method God uses to shape and transform us. The early church, as described in Acts 2, models a way of life that is both beautiful and challenging. Rather than gathering around shared interests or life stages, the people of God gather around a shared need for the gospel and a new identity in Christ. This kind of community is not easy; it requires courage to be known, to depend on others, and to allow ourselves to be changed. Fear often keeps us from opening up, but the life we long for in Jesus is rooted in courage, not fear.

Why we Gather (Acts 2:42-47) by Harvest Church

KEEPING YOUR SPIRITUAL FIRE BURNING, PART II (Acts 2:1-4) If we are to live the victorious Christian life, then we must have the spiritual fire of God's Holy Spirit burning brightly in our lives.  We are absolutely powerless to be in God's will without the Holy Spirit.   Fire is a symbol of the Holy Spirit: It spreads: Fire begins small, but it can devour a forest or destroy a city. The convicting power of the Holy Spirit begins as small spark in the heart of a lost person, and then it spreads, from person to person as the new believer tells of his wonderful salvation. It burns:  Everything fire touches is transformed into fire.  The fire of the Holy Spirit transforms your old sinful nature into one that is righteous before God.   It purges: Fire sterilizes and kills germs, disease, and all impurities.  The Holy Spirit convicts the lost person of the sin in their lives, baptizes them into the body of Christ, and purifies them with the blood of Christ. It illuminates: We take for granted the light that comes from the flip of switch, yet for thousands of years, fire was man's only source of artificial light.  It allowed men to work and walk in a dark world.  In the same manner, believers walk in a world dark with sin.  It is the Holy Spirit living in their hearts that speaks to them, provides discernment to them, and illuminates the mind of Christ for them. It warms:  Fire provides heat and comfort in a world full of cold and ice.  Jesus promised the disciples a Comforter.  The Holy Spirit is the Comforter to the believer in a cold, hard, world that has no love for them or their faith.  He comforts us when we are in trials.  He empowers us when we need Him most.  He enables us to live the Christian life. It smolders:  Men can resist and quench ordinary fire, but the fire of the Holy Spirit can never be put out.  Once the fire of the Holy Spirit is in your heart it will never leave you.  But, you can make it inoperative in your life.  If you allow unrepented sin in your life, it will smolder quietly in the heart of the believer, ignored, and then suddenly begin to spread again.  Click on the play button to hear a message on the four things that you must do to keep the spiritual fire burning in your life.   This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS.
