An important day in the life of our church.
Today we have a baptism, the receiving of new members, and the ordination and installation of both Deacons and Elders.
There’s a lot to do, and so I’m not going to take a lot of time today.
Let’s get right to God’s Word:
[PRAYER}
Peter goes on to tell of what Joes said, how the spirit will be poured out and there will be prophesies, dreams and vision because of the power of the spirit.
He concludes with this verse.
That’s what it all comes down to.
You hear people say, “I believe in God,” so does the devil.
You hear people say, “I believe in Jesus,” but they don’t trust in him.
They don’t call upon His name.
Today we celebrate Pentecost, the birth of the church!
The Holy Spirit came upon these men and changed them forever.
Think about this.
You had a bunch of people over 2000 years ago who met this guy Jesus.
He made all kinds of promises, men and women of all walks of life chose to follow him.
Yet in the end his disciples, even the ROCK, that’s what Peter’s name meant, denied him.
A few weeks ago the 11 remaining disciples (Judas was now dead), were huddled in a room cowering in fear.
Now, they are stepping forth boldly.
Peter, a fisherman, the one who denied Jesus three times in one night, is quoting from the prophet Joel! Seriously, when was the last time you read Joel?
Jesus had promised his disciples:
You and I would not be here celebrating this day in this church were it not for the power of the Holy Spirit.
The power of God changing those early disciples so that they would stand up, in the midst of great persecution, in a time when you could be put to death for professing such faith.
After all, the adversaries had already put their leader to death.
What a shame that so many of us cower in the face of a bit of ridicule or the thought that someone might think us rude.
Jesus said in John 15:5-7
Vs. 5, abides in me - makes their home in me - lives their life in me…bears much fruit.
Apart from me you can do nothing.
There it is.
If you are the one doing it, you are doing it wrong.
A couple weeks ago I spoke on Called, Convinced, Commissioned.
Jesus calls us to share our faith, Jesus said nothing about how many conversions we were required to make.
When I was a young man my pastor often reminded me that God calls us to be faithful, not successful.
Read vs. 7 again
This is not for the greedy.
This is when we live in God and God lives in us, our wishes are God’s wishes and it will be done!
THY WILL BE DONE!
We have the power - the Holy Spirt has been given.
Don’t try and do it on your own.
