Sermon Part 1

I recently had an interesting assignment from the elders… I was asked to write a role descriptions for the elders and for myself, the Pastor-Teacher (which includes a few extra things)...

So let’s just pretend I delegated that task to you this morning… if I were to ask you to write a job description for the elders of the church… and therefore also the pastor of the church, what would you include?

I asked my sons this the other day… and their answers were funny… one of them said, “preaching”… another said “sitting in boring meetings...”

But if you were answering that question, I think it would be obvious to include some form of teaching of the Bible or providing counsel from the scriptures.

Maybe you would add visiting people who are sick or shut-in… or managing the church finances…

Maybe you would include the need to be personally invested in certain programs of the church (especially ones you find particularly important)....

Maybe you would be perceptive and use words that we’ve used before like “Elders determine the why and what of ministry.”

The reality is that the list of tasks and responsibilities could be almost endless… I watch the elders who currently serve and have served in the past while working other full time jobs and I’m just amazed and grateful.

But I wonder how many of us would put prayer at the TOP of the list of what an elder does???

I wonder how comfortable we each would be if I told you that, as the only vocational elder here, out of a 55 hour work week , I prayed for 27 of them (I do not, but perhaps I should get closer to that number).

I wonder how much we would be willing to see some of those other things that we want to see happen... fall off the elders’ job description so that they can devote plenty of time and attention to prayer?

Today, as we look at God’s word, we are going to see that prayer was something that leaders of the churches in the book of Acts prioritized.

They put it before everything… even things that were very important to some of the people in their church.

And as a result, the ENTIRE church continued to be healthy and thrive... and they were shaped and marked by fervent prayer…

You see, when leaders prioritize prayer, they stop being the ones who lead the church… and GOD takes up that role.

Big Idea: When we prioritize prayer, God leads his church to multiply.

We are in a series called “The Way of Prayer,” … our vision in this series is to “to support one another on the path of discipleship.”

And the leadership of a church plays a CRITICAL role in that.

The church is all about helping one another grow in our dependence on and devotion to Jesus...

We are called to reach the nations with the good news of Jesus Christ and make disciples.

And to organize and lead the church toward those purposes, God gives his church human leaders… namely elders and deacons.

He calls upon those leaders to be humble… qualified (especially in character)… and to stay true to HIS desires for the church outlined in his word.

The elders are to shepherd the flock of God… the church of God… not as ultimate leaders themselves… but as UNDER-SHEPHERDS...

We elders answer to the Chief shepherd… to the head of the church… Jesus Christ.

And therefore, it is CRITICAL that we learn to hear the Chief Shepherd’s voice as we seek him in prayer and the word.

The Title for today’s sermon is “Prayer for our Leadership”

Today we are going to go at this a little differently… I have three SHORT verses from the book of Acts where the leaders of the church are prioritizing prayer… it’s a pattern in the book of Acts.

And I’ve developed those three verses into the three parts of the same sermon...

But we are going to break that sermon up throughout this sermon with prayer and singing in response to each point.

And I certainly hope that you would be inspired to pray FOR your leaders, … we have a big job to fill and we can’t do it without prayer...

But the particular goal for this morning is that we would see that prayer must be a priority for our leadership...

Leaders must lead from their knees… prayer must be the leaders’ priority if it will be the church’s priority.

So in one sense, I’m preaching specifically to leaders in the church: elders… deacons… Lead through prayer.

But in another sense, I’m still preaching to the whole church… please don’t tune me out just because you don’t hold a leadership position…

Because for leaders to prioritize prayer, we must ALL see the priority of prayer.

We must all see it’s value and importance… we must clear things out of the way so that prayer can take it’s proper place...

And we must all be willing to go wherever the Spirit leads AS we prioritize prayer...

Because when we prioritize prayer, God WILL LEAD his church to multiply.

I don’t think there is any BETTER place to see this than Acts 6:4 (Read 6:1-7 to get some context)

Here’s the first thing we want to see from God’s word today:

When we prioritize prayer, God leads his church to...

1) Multiply Ministry (Acts 6:4)

Explain: We are still within the first TWO years of the church in Acts 6...

We’ve seen that the early church was BORN in a prayer meeting… 120 disciples… waiting in an upper room to receive power from on high through the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit came, they all started preaching the word… and 3000 souls were added to their number that day.

And what did they do… they DEVOTED themselves to the Apostles teaching… fellowship, the breaking of bread and the prayers.

Notice the priority of the word and prayer at the beginning and end of that list.

And as a result people were added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

In the midst of all that, two of their leaders were arrested for healing a guy...

And when they were released, the church gathered together prayed some more… and they were filled with boldness to KEEP spreading the word about Jesus.

Then there was the internal threat of Ananias and Saphira...

Long-story short, they were two church members whose carnal, selfish desires were a threat to the unity of the church, and so God struck them dead.

But the Apostles kept preaching and many more people were added to the number of the church.

So there have been many threats… and consistently, the apostles have responded by praying first (first-response prayer), and then preaching the word.

This was the very HEARTBEAT of the church: the church was FOUNDED through prayer and the word… the church was NOURISHED through prayer and the word… and the church ENDURED through prayer and the word.

But now there is a new threat… The very heart of the church is being threatened: not by persecution from the outside... not by hardness of heart from the inside... not by people leaving the church… but actually by distraction because the church was getting so big.

You see, the practice of that first church was to sell what they had and to lay it at the Apostles feet so that everybody would have what they needed.

Acts 4 says that they had everything in common.... meaning they shared everything and the apostles were responsible for overseeing it.

Now that might work when there are 12 apostles and 120 people… apparently it was still SORT OF working in Acts 2 when there were 3000 people.

But by Acts six the church is 5000 MEN (not to mention women and children)… and the task is getting unruly… and some dear old widows are getting overlooked.

Not only that, but there’s some ethnic tension involved here.

The widows being overlooked were Hellenists. They Jews who had adopted the Greek culture.

These were people who would have been naturally looked down upon by the more devout Jews who were used to keeping the law.

So this is a delicate situation here.

To call it a distraction seems almost insensitive.

These were marginalized widows who needed to eat.

But at the same time, these Apostles are mere men who can’t keep up with all the demands of the church on their own.

Did you ever have good things distract you from prayer?

If so, then you can relate.

The child who comes downstairs and wants breakfast as you are not quite finished with your morning quiet time with the Lord.

The school project that keeps you up late at night so you don’t feel like praying before you go to bed.

The kids’ soccer practice that makes you rush through dinner to and skip family prayer.

The work project that you HAVE to get done by the deadline to keep your job.

Good things can often distract us from the priority of prayer.

And the same is true for Church leaders.

There is always a ministry to develop, a communication to respond to, a person to visit.

So what’s a leader to do? What are WE to do when good things crowd out prayer in our lives?

Acts 6:3-4 - “Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”” (Acts 6:3–4, ESV)

The Apostles prioritized prayer by trusting that GOD would multiply ministry.

There were people in their church who were filled with the Holy Spirit…

God didn’t just work in and through them… he worked through a whole body of people. And they needed to trust that.

There were people who could do step in and handle the problem that needed to be solved so that they could maintain the priorities that they were called to.

God would lead the congregation and these seven men to multiply ministry… they could trust God to do that because they knew God wanted them to prioritize prayer.

Now to some people, their response might sound a little pompous to anyone else?

“What, are they ABOVE serving tables? Who do they think they are?”

Does it seem like they are just shirking their responsibilities? Getting out of work using their privileged status?

It will until we understand the value of prayer and the word.

We must understand that what is at stake here is the very heartbeat of the church.

They can have the best social service organization ever… they can help all the widows in all the world… but if they don’t have prayer and the word, they cease to be the church… they cease to be the House of Prayer for all nations that God wanted his church to be...

They cease to be the thing that JESUS is leading and building like he promised in Matthew 16.

The GOOD thing of feeding widows could not crowd out the GOD thing of prayer in these leaders’ ministry… because prayer and the word are HOW GOD leads his church.

Now, this is a sermon series... and a sermon... on prayer… and so I’m going to focus on the FIRST HALF of this job description…

That’s not because I don’t love the word… I very much do...

But I think it’s appropriate at this time to devote our attention on prayer… because we are a very Bible-Saturated church…

The word of God is not just part of everything we do… it DRIVES everything we do… and rightly so...

But here’s the danger: we can tend to prioritize the word more easily… more naturally… than prayer.

We are happy to spend 45 minutes to an hour together listening to someone preach the word… but are we happy to spend 45 minutes to an hour praying together?

And yet, in this little statement, prayer is equally weighted with the ministry of the word.

Do we give it equal weight in our hearts?

The truth is… you need both… you can’t have meaningful prayer without the Word… and you can’t have meaningful, supernatural times in the word without prayer.

We must learn to value prayer if we are going to see it as a priority.

We must regularly realize the wonder that we get to talk to One who Created us… the one who gives us every breath… the one who sent his Son to rescue us when we were actively rebelling against him…

We are talking to the one who made his Holy Son to be sin… even though he knew NO sin… so that in him we might become the righteousness of God...

We are talking to the one who made his enemies his children and invites them in.

In prayer, we are talking to the true, de facto leader of our church.

The one who indwells every believer by his Spirit and who knows every one of their needs.

The one who knows the people around us who are his and who he has chosen to save.

The one who uses our prayers and our witnesses to multiply his glory.

Do you know that God? Do you see the value in praying together to that God?

We must move everything around so that prayer receives its proper attention alongside the word.

The Apostles don’t overlook the need… they don’t diminish it…

They just call on others to step up into leadership and meet the need so that they can keep the heartbeat of the church alive.

By the way, this is likely the groundwork out of which the two offices of elder and deacon come in the church...

The Apostles were serving in the Jerusalem Church as elders would in later churches… governing the “why and what” direction of the church through prayer and the word.

But now they needed a different type of servant… a servant who would manage the details of the “how and when.”… that’s what deacons do.

They make sure the important practical matters of the church are cared for.

Deacons (and ministry servants in general) help to prioritize prayer in a church by freeing the elders to lead in that way.

We must move everything around so that prayer receives its proper attention alongside the word.

I’ve got to be honest… this is a struggle for me as a very task-oriented… getter-done leader.

To park myself down in a chair and just pray for an hour or two… but when I do, OH the way God leads me...

He leads me to praise… he leads me to trust… he leads us as elders to understand… we more easily see what should be next…

We must move everything around so that prayer receives its proper attention alongside the word.

I’ve got to be honest, I love that our elders are willing to roll up their sleeves and serve just about anywhere…

But we are really working to get our elders out of things like ushering on a Sunday so that they can be downstairs praying with the worship team and preacher before the service.

It’s ok if they are needed occasionally, but when you say “yes” to being an usher, you are helping us prioritize prayer.... so thank you to those of you who are stepping up in that way… we could still use more.

The same is true after the service… counting money… elders need to be able to prioritize shepherding people and praying with them on the spot after a service on Sunday mornings.

If you join the counting team, you are helping us prioritize prayer.

The same could be said of stepping into almost ANY ministry role… the more we all use our gifts in the body… the more we can ALL have the space to prioritize prayer.

And possibly, if prayer can’t be prioritized because we are too busy… then we should consider not doing that thing.

Prayer is the essential ministry. We must move everything around so that prayer receives its proper attention alongside the word.

Then and only then will ministry multiply the way God desires.

God wanted these widows to be fed. And he wanted the Apostles to prioritize prayer and the word for the church. And he wanted to fill other men with his Spirit to meet the need… Because he wanted to put the power of the gospel on display.

I love this formula that I heard once… Holy Spirit math -3+4=7

(Acts 6:3 (pick out from among you seven men) + Acts 6:4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” = Acts 6:7 (“And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly)

So here’s the question I want us to reflect on and pray through: do I value prayer enough to make it a priority? If so, what needs to move so that it can my priority in my life, and my priority for our church?

Prayer Time 1-

Do you value prayer? We want to spend some time right now valuing prayer and the word by praising God for it…

“When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.” (Psalm 91:15, ESV)

-Father, Thank you for hearing our prayer when

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Psalm 119:103 ESV)

-Father, your word is because

Sermon Part 2

So we’ve seen the value that the Apostles placed on prayer and the ministry of the word in Jerusalem… now we are going to fast forward to Acts 13 and see if that priority was maintained as the church expanded beyond Jerusalem.

We are now in the city of Antioch, which is North of Israel in Syria. This church was planted when people fled Jerusalem after Stephen was murdered by Saul.

And this was a church primarily filled with those Hellenists… the Jews that had adopted most of Greek culture.

So the elders in the church at Jerusalem sent Barnabas to establish them in the faith… but he needed help…

And so he sent for none other than Saul… the guy who scared the church planters out of Jerusalem in the first place.

Saul had spent the better part of the last 12 years hanging out in his hometown of Tarsus, laying low… telling people about Jesus.

But now his proven worth made him valuable to the work in Antioch.

So Barnabas and Saul spent the next year teaching the word of God to this church.

Saul, remember, goes by another name in most of the Bible… the Apostle Paul. The missionary who planted churches all over the Roman Empire.

But in his early years, he acted as an elder, alongside Barnabas and a number of others, in the church at Antioch…

And he and Barnabas were the ones who carried most of the teaching load.

So that’s the context of Acts 13:1-3 [let’s read it together].

Here we see that when we prioritize prayer, God leads his church to...

2) Multiply Mission (Acts 13:1-3)

Now again, I want to be careful… this is a descriptive passage about what happened in the church in Antioch...

It’s not a guarantee that we will start praying and the Spirit will speak clearly and say, “Set apart John and Alden to go to York to plant a church.”

It’s also not a direct command that we fast… although I’m going to suggest in a moment that this is a good idea.

No, what we see instead is another example of the consistent pattern that when God’s people pray, God sends them out as witnesses.

It happened on the day of Pentecost… it happened as a result of the prayer meeting in chapter 4 when Peter and John were released from prison...

And it was happening again.

The leaders of the church in Antioch are praying… specifically they are worshiping the Lord and fasting.

They are prioritizing worship-based prayer like we’ve been talking about all throughout this series.

They are focusing their hearts on God.

And they are fasting.

Biblical Scholar Donald Whitney defines fasting as, “a Christian's voluntary abstinence from food for spiritual purposes.”

(https://graceky.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/fasting_whitney.pdf)

There can be a variety of spiritual reasons for fasting… repentance, seeking God, increasing your hunger for God...

But it’s not for other purposes like dieting or doing a body cleanse or whatever else you might fast for…

The biblical reason for fasting is always spiritual. I’m putting myself in a place of physical hunger to become more aware of my spiritual need.

So that’s where we find these church leaders in Antioch… fasting and worshiping the Lord.

They are simply seeking the face of God with a great spiritual intensity.

And the Holy Spirit starts talking.

And he says, “Take these two guys… your two primary leaders… and set them apart for the work that I’ve called” (which we find out is to leave and travel into Modern-day Turkey to plant churches).

And so these leaders pray and fast some more… ("God is this really you? We need to be SURE of this!?!?!”… they need to be on the same page with God…)

And then they send them out.

Here’s the thing I want us to see: the Apostle Paul’s first missionary journey was launched from a prayer meeting. The great church planter of the first century was called to his first missionary journey through a time of prayer.

And here’s the question I want us to ask: Why? What is the significance of the fact that the leaders in Antioch were worshiping and fasting when the Holy Spirit spoke to them?

Why did the Spirit use prayer and fasting as the catalyst for sending them out?

And I believe one of the main reasons is this: Because that’s they type of church culture that God wants to multiply.

God wants to multiply that type of intimacy with him.

God looks at a group of people whose hearts are inclined toward him and he says, “YES! That’s what I’m looking for! Let’s start spreading more of THAT around!”

So how do we develop that intimacy?

Well, we’ve talked a lot about Scripture-fed, Spirit-led, Worship-based prayer.

And I believe we are seeing at least the worship-based part of that… prayer that seeks God’s face before it seeks his hand.

But we don’t talk very much at all about fasting. Fasting is an excellent way to grow our intimacy with God.

It’s not that fasting impresses God or makes him more ready to answer us… it’s that fasting increases OUR HUNGER for God.

Fasting trains me to put off natural impulses and desires for the purpose of seeking God.

Every time I’m hungry and my body says, “You need food,” I can tell myself, “You need God even more.”

And let me just point out: a lot of people will say, “Fasting doesn’t HAVE to be food… it could be something else (technology, coffee, chocolate)…”

And I guess that COULD be true… but it’s missing part of the point.

Fasting, biblically speaking, ALWAYS involves refraining from eating.

And my friend Christian McNeilley pointed this out to me… that when you fast from say, technology for example, you are fasting from something you don’t really need.

But when you fast from food, you fast from something your body actually needs to live.

And so you are increasing your awareness of your spiritual need in a more heightened way.

So I would suggest… if you want to refrain from media or technology or something else to pray… GREAT… refrain from eating food alongside that to maximize the fast.

Start with one meal… then work your way up to two…

Put it on the calendar… I will always forget to fast if I don’t schedule it into my time.

The point is… fasting trains me to put off natural impulses and desires for the purpose of seeking God.

We need to develop our hunger for God in prayer… because when we do, God will lead his church to multiply.

That’s what he loves to do.

It’s what he wants to use us to do as we pray, “Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done.”

So how would you measure your desire for God right now? How would you evaluate your experience of intimacy with him?

No matter where your desire is, there is room to grow that desire… and so how can you position yourself to grow in that desire and that intimacy?

Prayer Element 2

We want to spend some time seeking God and asking him to increase our desire for his will to be done in our church...

“O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.” (Psalm 63:1–4, ESV)

God, I need you more than . (confess the things you are tempted to reply on)

Lord, Your steadfast love is better than . (confess the things you desire more than his love)

Sermon Part 3

So we’ve seen the leaders prioritizing prayer in Jerusalem... and God leading the church to multiply ministry locally there by raising up spirit-filled deacons …

We’ve seen leaders prioritizing prayer in Antioch... and God leading the church to multiply mission by sending out two of those leaders as missionaries...

Finally, we are going to see how Paul and Barnabas prioritized prayer while ON their missionary journey...

Read Acts 14:19-23

When we prioritize prayer, God leads his church to...

3) Multiply Churches (Acts 14:23)

This is the final description of Paul and Barnabas’ missionary journey that started in that prayer meeting in Antioch...

They had covered a lot of ground, traveling from Antioch to Cyprus… to a different city called Antioch in Pisidia… to Iconium, Lystra and Derbe...

And they were moving pretty quick… they would barely get the message out… stay a few weeks… and then people would try to kill them and they had to move on.

So they get to the end of that journey… and they are like, “We weren’t just sent to make converts… we were sent to make disciples.”

And so they go back to each city where they proclaimed the gospel...

And they take time to strengthen the believers… to equip them in the basics of following Jesus...

And the last thing they do before they leave is they appoint elders (that word means they layed hands on them to ordain them to the work of the Lord)

They appointed men who were qualified in character… men who understood how Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament and was the promised Savior King… men who could teach the word and keep the thing going… I

I would imagine these were men who prioritized prayer and the word.

By the way, one of the main things that makes a church a church is the presence of biblically qualified elders.

The church is a people who have made a commitment to one another and to the Lord…

That commitment is made possible through the gospel...

That commitment is to walk in the way of a disciple together...

And that commitment is overseen by biblically qualified elders.

If you haven’t made that commitment to a local church and you are just hanging out on the fringes right now, we’d invite you to come to our membership class next week and learn more about what that looks like.

Because the biblical pattern is that disciples are made and then organized into local churches.

There is no concept of New Testament Christianity that does not include a commitment to one another in the body of Christ.

So in this moment that they organized the church and identified leaders… what did they do before they moved on?

With prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

Or I like the way the NIV puts it (the King James is similar)… “with prayer and fasting [they] committed them to the Lord in whom they had put their trust.”

Prayer is the expression of our common trust.

Think about what Paul and Barnabas are doing here: they are replicating the same type of leadership and churches that they experienced back in Antioch...

...Leaders and churches who hunger after God... and devote themselves to prayer and fasting… and entrust themselves fully to wherever God would lead!

I don’t think it’s an accident that Paul and Barnabas were sent OUT from Antioch with prayer and fasting… and then they commissioned each group of elders and each church with prayer and fasting!

Prayer is the expression of our common trust.

When we pray together, we are saying, “God, we trust you to lead your church. We trust you to take us where you want us to go and to endure what you want us to endure.”

That’s true in everyday local church ministry… and it’s especially true in church planting.

You may not think very often about church planting… but it is one of our values. Strategic Church Planting. It’s the value that probably gets the least air time because we are not currently involved in a visible new work.

But the book of Acts and the New Testament is clear: Church planting is on God’s heart.

Jesus taught us to pray, “Your Kingdom Come, your will be done...”

Church planting part of his will that needs to be done on earth so that his kingdom advances and his people can experience a foretaste of heaven.

And you might not realize it, but we are doing the work of church planting right now.

No, we aren’t commissioning a church planter today or have a place where we are starting a new work or a people that we are currently sending out…

BUT… as we focus our hearts on God through prayer… and devote ourselves to understanding his word...

As we proclaim Jesus and equip servants and send witnesses…

As we raise up leaders… and help people grow as ministry servants…

As we proclaim the gospel to the lost so that more and more people come into relationship with their God...

As we establish this church, we preparing for church planting right now.

We are laying the foundations for that moment when God would say, “Send these people from your church out. Proclaim the gospel somewhere new. Strengthen those who come to faith in Jesus. Establish elders.”

Those things only happen when we express our trust in God through prayer.

Those things only happen when we cry out to God and say, “We can’t be the church you want us to be without your Divine Intervention!”

And we’ve seen God do this twice in the history of our church… we sent out our founding pastor in 2014… and we ourselves were a church plant in 2008.

And I believe God will do it again as we set our hearts on him...

Because he wants to send his people out to be his witnesses to all nations.

God’s clear mission for the church is to multiply disciples and churches so that he would be glorified.

Ultimately for Paul and Barnabas, Church planting was a major expression of their own faith in God… their trust of him...

It required them to commit their work to the Lord in prayer and fasting.

Church planting requires that we trust God to do something with this work even when WE don’t receive a direct benefit from it...

Even when it costs us resources and people and physical pain like it did for Paul… even when there is no ROI (return on investment).

Church planting requires that we trust God enough release the work to him even when we aren’t there.

It requires that we trust God is at work in other people who trust him too… and that he wants even MORE people to come to trust him for their life and salvation in places that are far beyond us!

And the result will be more ministry being multiplied, more mission being multiplied, MORE churches being multiplied.. and God will get all the glory because it all started in prayer.

Prayer Element 3

So we want to have one more prayer time… and this one is going to be a little different.

I’m going to ask the leaders of our church who are here in the building today to STAND… the elders and their wives... gospel community leaders and their wives… and our ministry coordinators...

And I’d like to ask you to make your way out to the outside aisles up here...

If you are downstairs in the overflow, and there are enough people down there, maybe move to the front next to the screen...

And as they move, I’d like you to stand up and find the leader closest to you… allow for appropriate distancing and wear masks if possible… but move toward them and pray for them.

If you are downstairs, pray for those downstairs...

If you are online, join in praying for Kayla who manages our livestream so faithfully every week… you can use the chat to do that...

Pray out loud if you feel comfortable… if not, join in prayer with others...

1 Corinthians 15:58 - Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. (ESV)

Pray that they would be steadfast and immovable through God’s grace.

Pray that they would about in the work of the Lord.

Pray that they would have wisdom to identify others who will serve and develop as leaders.

Pray that they would know that in the Lord, their labor is not in vain.
