Acts 2:42-47 – Holy Spirit Community

When the Holy Spirit came upon the hundred and twenty disciples, there were many who were amazed. But there were some who thought these spirit-filled people had had a little too much wine to drink! After all, they were being heard by the crowd in several different languages at the same time! The Apostle Peter came to the rescue with a sermon that set the record straight.

Acts 2:37-41 – Holy Spirit Conviction

The message of Jesus as Lord and Christ, and the realization that it was this Jesus that they crucified, landed on the hearts of the people of Jerusalem with the force of cutting conviction. They knew they were guilty. What should they do? This Jesus whom they crucified will forgive them. The very death they caused is the means by which their sin is removed. Repentance, faith, and confession of Jesus as Lord is the way forward. This remains the way today. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world.

Today we continue our study through the book of Acts, with a stop in Acts chapter two. The day of Pentecost has arrived, and with it, the Holy Spirit. Without question this is one of the most significant events in the Bible, as the third member of the Holy Trinity descended upon the early Christian Church. As we will see in today's message, the work of the Holy Spirit began immediately, and the results were quite startling to those who witnessed them.

The Life Of Jesus is the Spirit-Filled Life | Acts 2:1-41 | Pastor Ben Spalink by GraceChurchNJ

This week, we looked at the first of our three rhythms of discipleship: community. God designed us for community, reflecting his Trinitarian nature, and the early church modeled this through devotion to God and one another. To follow Jesus well, we need both vertical connection with God and horizontal connection with others. Biblical community isn't optional—it's essential for discipleship.

Acts 2:14-41 shows Peter boldly proclaiming Christ to those who crucified Him, demonstrating there's no neutral ground—only God's grace or judgment. His sermon reveals that true transformation comes not through politics or returning evil for evil, but through surrendered hearts recognizing Jesus as both Lord and Savior. When 3,000 souls asked "What shall we do?", the answer was repent and receive the Spirit, proving that even our darkest days become emblems of celebration through the gospel's power.

Acts 2:1-4 – Holy Spirit Filling

They have the command to tell the whole world about the gospel and they are just supposed to wait around?? and yet in the end God brought the world to them.Acts 2:6Bewildered The work of Holy Spirit did not begin in clarification but in disheveling the people who ran to see what He was doing. But the work was immediately one of bringing a particular kind of unity and clarity no one could have anticipated. The reversal of the Tower of Babel happens here. God came down to men who were not trying to reach Him. God brought language back together. The scattering is now a gathering.  Now we have the real chance of a unified world. (Bonhoeffer's quote in Life Together:  Without Christ there is discord between God and humanity and between one human being and another. Christ has become the mediator who has made peace with God and peace among human beings. Without out Christ we would not know God; we could neither call on God nor come to God. Moreover, without Christ we would not know other Christians around us; nor could we approach them. The way to them is blocked by one's own ego [das eigene Ich]. Christ opened up the way to God and to one another. Now Christians can live with each other in peace; they can love and serve one another; they can become one. But they can continue to do so only through Jesus Christ. Only in Jesus Christ are we one; only through him are we bound together. He remains the one and only mediator throughout eternity.Acts 2:11Jews Converts Arabs Cretans The first display of Holy Spirit presence affects everyone the same way. Utter amazement and no discrimination. Even though the Jews received the Holy Spirit he immediately shows he is not their exclusive property. This is a message stamped on history. The people of God we're not supposed to be called out to keep out. They were supposed to reveal God to the world. Now Holy Spirit takes his first appearance to show them the new dispensation is a gathering of all people to the living God.

The two responses of the crowd in Jerusalem to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit reflect their unbelief. Some are confused, some mock, but all are blind to the reality that the Spirit of God has come upon his people. Peter, the once fearful disciple who denied his Lord, now stands filled with courage by the power of the Spirit to declare that what is happening can be explained only as the work of Jesus of Nazareth. This Jesus, crucified and raised, has now poured out the Holy Spirit. This Jesus is both Lord and Christ. To this Jesus we turn in repentance and faith. This Jesus we proclaim.

Acts 2: 42-47

Cory Vardenfalse

This week, we focused on the prophecy of Joel and its fulfillment in Acts, exploring what it means that God pours out His Spirit on all people, sons and daughters, young and old. The reality of God's Spirit indwelling every believer invites everyone to dream “Kingdom dreams. ”Spirit-shaped visions for blessing others, rooted in Scripture, tested in community, and aimed at the common good. Kingdom dreaming doesn't belong to a select few or to adults only. Jesus invites all of us to recover a sense of childlike wonder, trust, and courage, and to take concrete steps, however small, to love others in His name.Support the show

The Roar from the Throne (Acts 2:1-21) | 090725 by One Ancient Hope Presbyterian Church

We were created for community because at the heart of God himself is togetherness. From Genesis to Acts, we see that loneliness fractures us, but in Christ, God is reconciling us back to himself and to one another. This message explores the tensions the early church held—Word and Spirit, gathering and scattering, holiness and hospitality, communal and missional—and invites us to live them out at our own tables today.Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.Support the show

If we admit it, it’s easy being a Christian in America. We go to church, sing the songs, listen to the preacher, talk of love—then go back to real life. It’s all good—but it doesn’t much resemble the Christians or the church in the Bible—because, for most of Christian America, genuine Christian love cramps our … Continue reading ‘Love Will Cramp Your Style’ (Acts 2:42; 1 Cor. 13) →

Acts 2:1-13 teaches that the church's power comes not from human effort but from the Holy Spirit's presence, fulfilling Joel's prophecy that God would pour out His Spirit on all people. The fire that once appeared in burning bushes and temple clouds now rests on each believer. True evidence of the Spirit's work shows in two ways: we make much of Jesus, and we bless others by sharing His transforming love.

Once Jesus ascended on high, he sent the Father's promised Spirit to light up the church and empower her for her mission.

What is the Gift of the Holy Spirit? Is He the gift Himself? Or is He the one who gives gifts? How and why does He bring power into the life of the believer? As we continue our series “Dear Pastor”, we'll try to discover what the Bible teaches us about the Holy Spirit.

In Acts 2, the promised day is here, and Jesus pours out his Spirit on his disciples. That day marks a new day in God's redemptive history. In the days of the prophets and of John the Baptist, the Spirit was promised. Now the Spirit has come, filling believers with power to declare the mighty works of God in the last days. These are the days in which we live. This promise is for us. May the Lord open our eyes to this indescribable gift.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on March 5, 2025) In the world in which we live, there are many organizations that claim to be true churches. But the word of God teaches us how to sift through all these claimants in order to find the true church. In today’s sermon, we learn about one...

Acts 2 | Pastor Greg This message unpacks Acts 2: the Spirit's Pentecost outpouring fulfilling Joel, Peter's Scripture-rooted sermon that Jesus is both Lord and Christ, and the call to repent and be baptized—“whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”—as 3,000 are added. It then highlights Acts 2:42 as the church's blueprint: steadfast devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayers. The passage also shows a voluntary, temporary sharing of goods, and a rhythm of gathering in the temple and from house to house. The point: Scripture presents a Spirit-empowered church that bears witness to Jesus and is defined by these four core devotions.

All who waited for Him to come met him. Young and old men and women. This must have been both a shock and a delight. Social justice is a good thing maybe even a great thing but true equality and fair treatment is a myth outside this singular experience. This is the only place in history where the entire playing field is leveled completely and every single person receives the gift. Every person elevated to God-friend status. This is the only social equality that the church guarantees and it trumps any other. Making races equal or genders equal to each other before each other is meaningless. God giving every person equal access to the Holy Spirit and therefore equal before Him is actual equality. This is why the church must not become an entity which majors on economic, gender, or any other form of liberation theology because these are less than perfect and never to be obtained equalities while gospel equality IS liberation theology that is obtainable now and forever.
