The same. 10 00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:37,000 As you see on the board tonight, we're going to study the book of 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,400 Acts chapter 2. The bound to be topics that you 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,300 have thought about. You would like to talk with a 13 00:00:44,308 --> 00:00:50,300 friend or family member, a neighbor, a work colabor someone 14 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,000 that you feel close to and you want them to know the truth but 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,700 you don't exactly know how to persuade them. 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,200 Don't know necessarily what material to cover. 17 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,800 Well, there's a lot of options when that's the case. 18 00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:08,800 I'm going to give you one. That's real easy. 19 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,500 One chapter when you look at acts to there'll be a couple of 20 00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,800 references that I'll make later on through the lesson. 21 00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:21,100 But I primarily, I'm going to spend our time with our chapter 22 00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:27,500 to this chapter is such a wonderful, wonderful chapter and 23 00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:31,700 we're going to break it down into ten great points. 24 00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:37,100 I am very confident, you could erase those 10 points that come 25 00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:42,400 up with 10 more points. This is the Magnificent chapter. 26 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,400 But as we look through these, this chapter, the point number 27 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,000 one, show that x 2. We're right here are all the 28 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,100 verses Point. Number 2, verses 1 through 4 29 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,400 point number 3. Verse 5 point number 4, verse 5 30 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,900 to 13 and that is he outlined. As you see it on the board. 31 00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:09,100 This would be helpful to you to have in your purse in your 32 00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:12,500 wallet. In your Bible, whatever you do 33 00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:17,000 and wherever you keep good valuable information that you 34 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,700 can use to talk to other people with about the gospel. 35 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,200 You know I enjoy sharing my little bible with you wherever I 36 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:30,800 go and I'm rarely very far away from my copy of the scriptures 37 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,400 and you may have one in your purse I do a lot of schoolkids, 38 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,600 it students in high school and college and all you know, they 39 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,300 keep a Bible with Them. Use the small one. 40 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,300 Maybe they can keep in their pocket. 41 00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:47,600 Keeping the locker keep handy in case of have a discussion that 42 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,800 turns out, whatever your discretion is on when to have it 43 00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:54,800 and Walkman care to use, is certainly up to you. 44 00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:59,700 Now, there's a lot of other good information but this information 45 00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:04,000 it really will turn in to be a great chapter. 46 00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:06,300 That is where we will begin right here. 47 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,200 A great chapter. I Chapter 2 is great. 48 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,000 Now, I don't have room on the board to ride all the reasons of 49 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,800 why. Why is that stew? 50 00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:20,300 A great chapter? I'm going to give you a few 51 00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:23,500 points that you might want to make reference to and your 52 00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:25,400 notes. If you're choosing to take 53 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,400 notes, it is the great chapter after chapter 2 because this is 54 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,300 the day, the very day, the church had its beginning, Acts 55 00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:43,200 chapter 2, so you look at acts the second chapter And you can 56 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,100 say she began to read great things are happening. 57 00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:54,300 Here it is a great chapter also because it fulfills many, many 58 00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:59,300 Old Testament prophecies about the church in Acts the second 59 00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:02,700 chapter. You have seen numerous Old 60 00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:05,300 Testament. Prophecies fulfilled. 61 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,900 This is a great chapter because we're going to hear the very 62 00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:14,600 first gospel sermon that people had a chance to obey. 63 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,700 Now, I used to say the First Gospel sermon, that was wrong. 64 00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:26,300 It is the First Gospel sermon that people have the opportunity 65 00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:29,700 to obey. Jesus during his ministry. 66 00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:34,400 He preached, the gospel of the Kingdom on being occasions. 67 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,300 They were not yet able to embed a it. 68 00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:41,200 His law did not become binding until he died at Calvary. 69 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,700 But this is the first gospel sermon and Acts chapter 2 and 70 00:04:47,700 --> 00:04:51,500 this particular chapter you have written and record. 71 00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:55,800 Of the first sermon preached that people had the chance to 72 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,600 obey. We're going to see that 73 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,700 developing as we go along through this chapter. 74 00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,700 Now, would you turn with me to Acts 2 verse 40? 75 00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:06,700 I want to show you that everything that happened this 76 00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:08,800 day. We don't have recorded. 77 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,300 I wish the Bible were just a little bit thicker. 78 00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:15,100 So we could have had all the Bible. 79 00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:19,300 All the sermon that he preached. That's the second chapter verse 80 00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:25,300 40 and with many Other words, did he testify and exhort 81 00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:29,500 saying, save yourself from this untoward generation. 82 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,600 I would love to know what all those other words were. 83 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,800 I would love to know what else he wanted to tell them that we 84 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,000 don't have any record of it, but what we do have record of is 85 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,600 recorded in the 47 verses of Acts chapter 2 and I want 86 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,100 everyone to really get a handle on this chapter and really get a 87 00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:57,800 working knowledge right here. This right here will get 88 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,600 people's attention that they need to re-evaluate. 89 00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:04,900 Where they are spiritually and they need to make the changes 90 00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:08,200 necessary to become a member of the church. 91 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,200 That was established by Jesus right here and Acts chapter 2. 92 00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:17,800 You know what we find? Let's begin in verse 1 and when 93 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,500 the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one 94 00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:25,100 Accord in one place. And suddenly there came from 95 00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:29,300 Heaven as of a rushing, Mighty Wind, and it filled all the 96 00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:32,400 house, where they were sitting, In and there appeared to them, 97 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,500 cloven, tongues, like, the fighter. 98 00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:38,200 And it said upon each of them, and they were all filled with 99 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,300 the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues, as the 100 00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,500 spirit. Gave them utterance indeed. 101 00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:55,400 It was a great day. 1 x 2, verse 1 through 4 saying it was in day 102 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,900 of Pentecost. That's what you want to write 103 00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:01,900 down. It is a day of Pentecost. 104 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,400 It was a great day. What day was it? 105 00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:07,500 The day of Pentecost. Now I want you to know something 106 00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:10,800 right here. We need to say more. 107 00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:14,900 I preached many sermons through the years and I said, the church 108 00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:19,500 was established of them Pentecost and that's true, but 109 00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:23,300 it's not enough. Formation for people to take in 110 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,400 really be usable. When was the church established. 111 00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:31,500 You may say Acts chapter 2? That's right. 112 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,900 You might say all the day of Pentecost, that's right. 113 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,800 But we need to say more than just a day of Pentecost. 114 00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:43,100 Here it is. The church was established in 115 00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:50,500 Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost. That is the first Pentecost I've 116 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,200 After the resurrection, that's when the Church of the 117 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,500 stablished, do you know how many days of Pentecost and working 118 00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:01,400 for this? Who knows how many, many, many 119 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:07,600 days of Pentecost, but to be more clear and more precise The 120 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:14,400 Church of Our Lord, the content of Acts chapter 2 is the day of 121 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,600 Pentecost. The first Pentecost after the 122 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,900 resurrection. Now that is when the church 123 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,100 began that is, what is so beautiful here? 124 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,800 That is why this day this day of Pentecost is uniquely greater 125 00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:35,400 than other days of Pentecost. Because this day was today, the 126 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,900 church had its And this is so very important and remember 127 00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:45,600 remember to add it to remember, the phrase are the worded like 128 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:51,100 you want to the first Pentecost after the resurrection. 129 00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:57,100 Then you've ever precisely and concisely told people was 130 00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:01,200 happening and when it really took place, okay? 131 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,500 Look at verse 5. The word said and there were 132 00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:11,400 dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men out of every nation 133 00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:13,700 under Heaven. You know what? 134 00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:20,800 This is a great place. It was indeed a great place. 135 00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:25,400 Where were we here? The Bible said, they were 136 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,200 dwelling at Jerusalem. That's where we are. 137 00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:35,900 Listen, now, Jerusalem is the place that the Lord's church had 138 00:09:35,900 --> 00:09:39,300 its beginning and when you're speaking with your community, 139 00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:42,700 contacting your friend, and your neighbor and your family members 140 00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:46,300 and your reading and study this for yourself for your own 141 00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:50,200 spiritual growth, you understand that you want to know what this 142 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,500 great place is? It's your Rouge l'm. 143 00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:58,100 You find that rare. Recorded in verse 5. so we know 144 00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:05,000 today, Any church or should I say religious organization? 145 00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:12,000 That started before Acts 2, it began to soon, therefore it's 146 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,400 not the Lord's Church. Any religious organization that 147 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,100 began after acts to began too late? 148 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,400 It's not the Lord's Church, the Lord's Church started and acts 149 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:33,200 to the first Pentecost after the resurrection and the City of 150 00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:37,300 Jerusalem. Did, you know, this was taught 151 00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:40,000 by Jesus and the Great Commission. 152 00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:44,200 Now, one night during this gospel meeting, I may preach a 153 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,100 sermon on the Great Commission, but let me give you one verse of 154 00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:50,800 the Great Commission. Go with me. 155 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:57,100 If you will dilute the 24th chapter Most times when people 156 00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:02,300 talk about the Great Commission, they will go to Matthew and Mark 157 00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:07,100 and that's obviously fine. But Luke also records, the Great 158 00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:10,900 Commission, and Luke, 24 and verse 47. 159 00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:16,000 The word of God says the following And that repentance 160 00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:22,000 and remission of sins should be preached in his name, among all 161 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:29,400 nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Please remember, look, 24 and 162 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,500 verse 47. Jesus delivering the Great 163 00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:36,200 Commission. He told them where this is going 164 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,000 to take place and the City of Jerusalem, he told them what was 165 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,500 going to be preached repentance. And remission of sins. 166 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,000 This is very, very important here. 167 00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:52,400 Did you know Luke's account of the Great Commission? 168 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,800 And Luke 24, is the only account of the Great Commission that 169 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,600 mention of repentance Matthew and Mark, they had other great 170 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,500 things Luke's. The only one that mentioned 171 00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:06,500 repentance, they did not say the word. 172 00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:10,000 Baptism of the told you what baptism is for the remission of 173 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,700 sins. Repentance and remission of 174 00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:15,100 sins. Dear friends. 175 00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:18,600 Will you learn so very much if we would allow the Bible to 176 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,200 interpret the Bible? We can leave man-made ideas out 177 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,600 of it. I like to study Matthew, Mark, 178 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,500 Luke and John and see what one person may say. 179 00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:35,300 The other did not say, and when do you do a Chronological Study 180 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,800 of the life of Our Lord, a parallel of the Gospels? 181 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,600 It is amazing. What you will learn one of my 182 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,700 favorite studies Through The Years, congregational study. 183 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,700 Was done probably eight or nine years ago, and the 21st straight 184 00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:58,900 in Oklahoma City. We did a Chronological Study of 185 00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:05,300 the gospels that is event by event and the order in which it 186 00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:08,800 transpired. And it is very interesting to 187 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,600 see how this is done. Of course, there are the time or 188 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,600 two along, the way that you had to say, well, probably this 189 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,800 happened here, you know, there might be a couple of those but 190 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,100 by and large when you let the Bible interpret the Bible and 191 00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:28,400 you look at Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John You say a pretty clean 192 00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:33,000 clear-cut Chronological Study. Well, that's what we find here. 193 00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:36,500 We find a great place happened here and the Bible made it 194 00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:40,600 abundantly clear and their dwelling at Jerusalem. 195 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,700 Therefore, please remember the New Testament started, where, 196 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,000 and the City of Jerusalem, that's where it started. 197 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:54,100 Many religious groups today, begin all over the world but the 198 00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:59,500 only true church of Our Lord began at Jerusalem. 199 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,500 Now, let's look at verse Point. Number 4, we find here a great 200 00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:09,600 crowd. What in the word of this about 201 00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:13,000 in verses 5 to 13 and I won't read them all. 202 00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:17,200 But it makes you 17 different nationalities. 203 00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:21,700 It makes you and even in verse 5, there are people there out of 204 00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:26,400 every nation under Heaven. Can you imagine that? 205 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,500 Attendance of that day. Well, I'll be very Frank with 206 00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:31,600 you. I do not know how many people 207 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,600 were there, but I do know that if you got people there out of 208 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,300 every nation under Heaven, you've got 17 nationalities that 209 00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:44,300 were named. You had a great crowd, a 210 00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:48,600 magnificent crowd, an event that has happened in this state that 211 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,900 it never happened before, profit in your being fulfilled, for the 212 00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:56,400 very first time regarding the New Testament Church. 213 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,200 And waited a, we never want to lose sight. 214 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,000 Of what transpired here. Yes, indeed, this great crowd, I 215 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,300 enjoy that time. Studying these 17 different 216 00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:14,000 nationalities, these different nations that were present but 217 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,800 you know, that's what the Bible said would happen. 218 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,000 I'm not going to read all this but you go back to Joel the 219 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,500 second chapter. Oh Testament, The Book of Joel 220 00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:29,900 chapter 2, you go to Daniel chapter, 2, you go to Isaiah, 221 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,200 chapter 2, Ooh, they're called a coincidence or called it 222 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,700 Providence, I don't know, but I tell you what, it's interesting, 223 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,300 the church established in Acts chapter 2, but you go to Joe and 224 00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:45,800 to, I Isaiah to dang the two and you see prophecies about the 225 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:51,100 church and had prophesied about, who all would be represented 226 00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:54,600 people go there out of every nation under heaven. 227 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,500 Wow, this is a big event. I do not know what the biggest 228 00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:05,100 event you've ever been to. But they've been some tremendous 229 00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,700 events across the land. When they had thousands upon 230 00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:12,200 thousands upon thousands of people you can even go to a 231 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,500 sporting event and have over 100,000 people. 232 00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:19,000 Yeah it's amazing. How many people you can have a 233 00:16:19,008 --> 00:16:24,200 variety of type of even a political event Plenty of what 234 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,300 no event was more important than this event. 235 00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:31,700 This event right here. We see the Church of Our Lord is 236 00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:33,700 established. This is the day. 237 00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:36,900 It was established right here. Okay. 238 00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:42,100 Now verses 14 through 36, I want to put a little bit of trash 239 00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:46,300 trick right here. This is a great sermon. 240 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,500 One thing we're prone to do today that Peter did not do. 241 00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:57,200 At least, he's not recorded, is tell you, the title of the 242 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,000 sermon. So, if you want to name it 243 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,600 different than what I want to name it, that's fine, Nathan, 244 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,099 what you want to, I'm going to call it salvation from sin. 245 00:17:09,099 --> 00:17:13,800 Peter preached to them how to be saved saved from their sins. 246 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,099 And so my preference, I like to call it salvation from sin but 247 00:17:18,099 --> 00:17:21,800 the Bible does not State Peter said, well, the title of my 248 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:27,099 lesson today is whatever this sermon began to verse 14. 249 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,000 Please knows me verse 14, and Peter standing up with the 250 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,400 eleven lifted up his voice and said, you men of Judea, all you 251 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,800 would want to Jerusalem, be it known unto you. 252 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,700 This day and hearken to my words. 253 00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:45,600 And it took off, he began at sermon at verse 14. 254 00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:48,400 All the way down through verse 36. 255 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,800 Wow. What a privilege for that crowd 256 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,500 of people to have heard the First Gospel sermon that was 257 00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:00,300 ever preached that they were going to have the opportunity to 258 00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:04,000 obey. That was a tremendous honor. 259 00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:07,600 They probably did not realize everybody there. 260 00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:11,900 The greatness of the honor they were now involved in. 261 00:18:12,500 --> 00:18:17,300 But here we find the First Gospel sermon Priest by the 262 00:18:17,300 --> 00:18:22,200 Apostle Peter on the day of Pentecost and the City of 263 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,500 Jerusalem, you see this story is unfolding it all goes together. 264 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,400 We learned the day will earn the place to learn the crowd. 265 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,600 We learned the sermon, it's all together, and this is what is so 266 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,200 helpful and talking people and converting people sharing the 267 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,400 good news with people about this one little chapter of Acts 268 00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:47,200 chapter 2, But now let's look at it. 269 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:53,300 Another thought. One verse verse 37 what we find 270 00:18:53,300 --> 00:19:00,000 here, Peter 3 June away at his sermon and they seem to ask him 271 00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:02,300 a question. Maybe have been of even 272 00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:06,100 interrupted him you know there's some scholarly difference on 273 00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:09,900 that but they interrupt him or whether he paused or what, but 274 00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:13,900 they asked him a great question or look at verse 37 and we'll 275 00:19:13,900 --> 00:19:18,100 see what that great question is. They asked upon him, they said 276 00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:21,100 now who they are. Heard this, they were pricked in 277 00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:25,200 their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles 278 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,300 men and Brethren. What shall we do? 279 00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:35,100 You know what they want to know? They want to know what must I do 280 00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:38,000 to be saved. What shall we do? 281 00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:40,700 Three times in the New Testament? 282 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,600 This question was asked his ass right here. 283 00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:47,900 And that's 2 and verse 37, it was asked and asked and not 284 00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:52,000 chapter And the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, he's a lord. 285 00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:57,000 What will you have me to do? If that ask again, you're not 16 286 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,600 Verse 30, the Philippian Jailer. What must I do to be saved my 287 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,600 dear friends.

I've never preached. 407 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,300 The gospel in front of 3,000 people. 408 00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:19,500 Maybe over the radio and television but not in person. 409 00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:23,000 I didn't know my audience of people that I could see with my 410 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,100 own eyes and I could I could talk to them and shake their 411 00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:28,800 hand and hug her neck. I've never done that. 412 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,000 I preached in front of 1,500 people. 413 00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:37,600 I did that in a funeral. We had a, when I lived in 414 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,000 Dallas, Texas, we had three Community teenagers that were 415 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,200 killed in a tragic automobile accident, and they select 23 416 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,600 preachers in town and I've managed to be one of those 417 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,800 three. And they asked me, if I would 418 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,300 speak it. If I was pecan salvation, I 419 00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:56,300 think. Yeah, yes, I will. 420 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,100 I'm excited, not a bother death. No, not a bit but about share 421 00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:04,100 with 1500 school kids about side. 422 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,800 Elevation. It was such a great honor. 423 00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:10,600 Oh, we all went to work. We put together some packets of 424 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,300 Salvation little tracks and writings and we were busy. 425 00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:16,700 We only had a short period of time. 426 00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:22,100 And I was able to gather into the school auditorium and they 427 00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:26,600 had two men who went before me and I took with me several men 428 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,700 who knew the gospel well, and who is easy to share the good 429 00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:33,600 news and we were ready. As we was going to share the 430 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,900 gospel Plan of Salvation to 1500 students. 431 00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:42,200 It was a great joy and a great opportunity. 432 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,600 And my friends listen, you can have opportunity not maybe like 433 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,200 that you might as man you might have something like that but 434 00:29:51,300 --> 00:29:57,100 probably things like that only happen occasionally but just be 435 00:29:57,100 --> 00:30:01,100 ready whether one person or one thousand people to share the 436 00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:04,400 good news. The good news of salvation. 437 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,700 When there's work done, there was two. 438 00:30:08,700 --> 00:30:11,900 You see benefit from that work, you'll see salvation from 439 00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:15,100 people. But you kind of work and got to 440 00:30:15,100 --> 00:30:18,700 work hard got to work together and to team, you know, I get off 441 00:30:18,700 --> 00:30:21,900 on that talks a lot, but I do want you to know this is a great 442 00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:25,400 chapter to really get us going. And when you look at Acts 2 and 443 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,100 verse 41, it becomes abundantly clear because what it does, it 444 00:30:30,100 --> 00:30:39,700 shows us a tremendous Response. About 3,000 people obey the 445 00:30:39,700 --> 00:30:45,500 gospel that day. What? 446 00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:48,500 I never preached in person in front of 3,000 people. 447 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,800 Can you imagine baptized and 3,000? 448 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,100 How many more thousands were there? 449 00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:00,500 As you go on and read in the book of Acts, you see where the 450 00:31:00,500 --> 00:31:03,200 church multiplied greatly. You can look at that for and 451 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,500 there was 5,000. Now it's a little bit of a 452 00:31:05,508 --> 00:31:08,900 debate, a little bit of discussion whether that 5,000 453 00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:13,700 included, the 3000 of that stew and his only two thousand more 454 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,800 in addition to that three or four or five thousand 455 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:17,600 additional. What? 456 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,300 I don't know. And it doesn't matter. 457 00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:22,200 They just shows the gospel was spreading. 458 00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:27,000 And that's what's important. You know what we find in Acts 2 459 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:33,200 and verse 42, we find a great worship was introduced. 460 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,900 Look at acts to on politicization here. 461 00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:42,400 This is very, very important. Acts 2 and verse 42. 462 00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:49,600 The word of God says the following And they continued 463 00:31:50,300 --> 00:31:56,200 steadfastly in the apostles Doctrine and fellowship and 464 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:03,000 breaking of bread. and in prayers, And this one, passage 465 00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:06,800 four of the five items of worship are mentioned. 466 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,400 I love the part it said and they continue. 467 00:32:12,500 --> 00:32:15,800 This wasn't a one-time one day event. 468 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,300 They continued steadfastly in the apostles Doctrine which is 469 00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:25,900 the teaching and fellowship for just a contribution and breaking 470 00:32:25,900 --> 00:32:29,500 and bread, which is the communion and in prayers. 471 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,500 And you say, wait, what about singing? 472 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,100 I love to singing. That's fine. 473 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,900 He drew two and twelve said in the midst of the church, well, I 474 00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:42,800 sing Raises under the Hebrew, 2, and verse 12. 475 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,200 And, you know, there, when the communion with Indonesia by 476 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,600 Jesus, they sang to him and departed. 477 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,100 The seconds involved. you know, for you that are my age and 478 00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:58,200 older and some of you may say that's not very many, but I 479 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:05,200 really is There used to be a great discussion about order of 480 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,800 worship. And that phrase order of worship 481 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:09,900 to you, young ones, you may have. 482 00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:13,200 What, what's that? Well, what that is is that to 483 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:18,300 verse 42, some to the position. Even within my own family, my 484 00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:22,700 wife's family that you had to Worship in that precise order. 485 00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:26,600 Meaning you got to have, you know, the teaching the 486 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,100 contribution, the communion, and then prayers. 487 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,500 He had heard in the same order. And I don't get off on that 488 00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:39,000 topic, but that's where it came from Acts 2 verse 42, I've got 489 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,100 tracks at me and wrote trying to prove that precise for water. 490 00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:48,100 I spoke my wife's grandparents who for many, many years, they 491 00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:51,300 practice this order of worship out of conviction. 492 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,700 There is no precise order of worship. 493 00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:58,800 I want you to know that and the way we know that is the order is 494 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,100 different in different places of the New Testament that just 495 00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:06,100 briefly without true. But there's other time that the 496 00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:08,699 order was given is given differently and there's one 497 00:34:08,699 --> 00:34:11,699 precise order has been given the same way every time. 498 00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:17,800 But in Acts 2:42 what we find is a great worship. 499 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,400 You know. I hope today that in your 500 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,900 spiritual maturity that you are eager to grow and grow fervently 501 00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:30,699 and grow day by day and you look forward to worship. 502 00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:35,699 It's not. Oh, go to church tonight. 503 00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:40,000 Probably one time know that every one of us have said that 504 00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:44,800 or something to that effect. But as we grow and spirituality 505 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,000 and we become more mature, brothers and sisters Sons, and 506 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,300 Daughters, God, we get to go to church tonight. 507 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,900 We get to study this particular chapter. 508 00:34:55,900 --> 00:34:57,800 We get to hear this chicken preacher. 509 00:34:57,900 --> 00:34:59,800 We get to study this particular passage. 510 00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:04,600 It's wonderful. I hope you enjoy worship, but 511 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,600 one thing you have to understand about worship, Worship Is God 512 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:15,600 designed, and not man designed. And John 4 and verse 23 it says 513 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,300 god sakes. It's true worshipers to worship 514 00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:22,000 Him in spirit and in truth and then verse 24 of John Ford. 515 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,500 He's a god of the spirit and they that worship Him must 516 00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:31,300 worship Him in spirit and in truth that's John 4 verse 23 and 517 00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:35,400 24. Worship is so valuable and so 518 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,800 important and it's God's plan. He had people were spent years 519 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,100 and years ago before this, sermon yet. 520 00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:44,800 They're in different ways. But today I'll worship services 521 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,000 are important and you cannot go running off on vacation or 522 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,600 somewhere some luxury trip and just had I'm just not going to 523 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,200 do this. That know it's every first day 524 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,700 of the week you gather and worship scripturally with those 525 00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:04,100 of like Precious faith. Some people get two laps on that 526 00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:07,800 and we can't afford to do that. Let me tell you what when people 527 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,600 did not observe the sabbath day and keep it. 528 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:14,600 Holy, they pay the price is huge price and we're going to pay a 529 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,300 price. If we don't worship with God 530 00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:20,700 wants us to well the tenth point that I want to mention is found 531 00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:24,900 in Verses 43 47. And what we're going to find is 532 00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:29,300 a great beginning. Why I want to begin. 533 00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:33,100 This really is. This is the beginning of the 534 00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:37,400 church, everybody. The church is now beginning. 535 00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:39,800 Would you turn your Bibles made Arch? 536 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:45,200 To we began verse 43. The Bible says, and fear Came 537 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:50,000 Upon every soul and Many Wonders and signs were done by the 538 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,200 apostles and all that believed were together and had all things 539 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,900 common. They sold their possessions and 540 00:36:56,900 --> 00:36:59,200 their goods. I think part of them. 541 00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:03,400 Every man as he had need in verse 46 and they continuing 542 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,000 daily with one Accord in the temple. 543 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,300 Breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with 544 00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:14,300 gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having 545 00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:19,000 favor with all the people and the Lord added to the church 546 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:26,300 daily, such as should be saved.
