Intro:
The Holy Spirit Comes Down
EX: Jesus kept His promise by sending the Spirit
During His ministry, He promised several times to send the Holy Spirit.
It began with John the Baptist:
Jesus also spoke of this day:
Spirit arrived in a mighty way
Signs:
Sound from heaven
Rushing wind
Tongues of Flame
Filled with the Holy Spirit
spoke in other tongues
tongues- languages
This sign was a gift of communication
It was human languages to allow people from around the Empire to hear the gospel in their own language.
AP: The Spirit is still present and active in our lives:
Jesus warned of a day when the world would hate us because they hated Him.
To comfort the Disciples, he said:
Jesus continues in chapter 16
The Holy Spirit indwells us and seals us until the resurrection.
He gives us:
fruit (Gal 5) which transforms our character
gifts which equip us to serve Him and minister in His church.
The Crowd Thinks Up
EX: The crowd thinks up an explanation
Human wisdom
funny isn't it?
They come up with a natural explanation:
these guys are drunk!
Now, In my years of EMS, I have seen several suspected of being intoxicated, and all the time, I never heard them speak a new language.
They slurred a lot, but not suddenly speak a new language
To top that off, none of them ever had a flame on top of their head!
Standing in the midst of the Holy City on a feast day where the devout have gathered, they never pause to consider that God may be doing something!
AP: We are often misunderstood by the world
Our devotion to God is called fantacism
In the last 8 years, we have seen several times that those of us who trust God's word, have been compared to terrorists.
Since we dare believe there is a GOD, and He has and is speaking to us makes us different.
Our desire to help them see the truth is condemned as judgement
We preach Jesus to them
We attempt to Rescue them
We call on them to Repent
They stay stop judging me.
Our Love for them is viewed as hate.
We should be walking in love
Jesus loves the lost He is seeking.
They interpret any disagreement as hating them.
Peter Speaks Up
EX: Peter preaches the gospel to the crowd
Focused their attention:
shot down their "drunk" theory
Offered an explanation:
Prophesy was fulfilled:
quoted Joel (17-21)
God had told His people of this day
They shouldn't have been surprised.
Got to the point:
He preached Jesus
Verified by God through signs and wonders 22
Crucified 23
Resurrected as the Scripture says
Called for Repentance
AP: We share the same message:
Jesus:
God in the flesh
Died for our sins
Raised by God
Coming again
1. Trust Him
Put your faith in him and him alone
Nothing else is sufficient!
Faith in Christ and His work alone
2. Repent-
John MacArthur said, "This refers to a change of mind and purpose that turns an individual from sin to God (1Th 1:9).
Such change involves more than fearing the consequences of God’s judgment.
Genuine repentance knows that the evil of sin must be forsaken and the person and work of Christ totally and singularly embraced
MacArthur, J. F., Jr. (2006).

The Empowered Church Grows
EX: The Lord added many to the church
Jesus had promised to build His church
Here He adds 3000 to the 120.
With the power of Spirit, they were able to Grow
Notice what occured in v 42
The saved were baptized
They continued:
doctrine- The apostles teaching
fellowship- partnership and sharing with each other
Breaking of bread- The Lord's supper
prayers- Spending time with the Lord
Unity
AP: Jesus is still building
In every local church, Jesus is at work building
Let us dedicate ourselves like the first church in Jerusalem did
doctrine
fellowship
Breaking of bread
