1 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,560 Happy Monday, we're back. Took a week off. 2 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,120 Thanks for bearing with us. But off of confirmation Sunday, 3 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:24,040 we just thought it was a good time to take a yeah, take a 4 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,480 respite as it was. So we're back in the book of 5 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,760 Acts, though, Chapter 2. You walked us through Peter's 6 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,080 sermon yesterday on just this big sort of first, first 7 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,240 momentous event in the multiplication of the church 8 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,400 here. The we have Pentecost and the 9 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,280 Holy Spirit descends and and then the world thinks they're 10 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,760 crazy, really. You know, it's cool to be at 11 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,400 this point early on in the book of Acts just because you you get 12 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,440 to see Peter and he is just as we all know, the guy who's going 13 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,560 to put his foot in his mouth from time to time. 14 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,240 But man, we see a refinement here, and we see probably a 15 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,480 level of education and speaking coming out of him and biblical 16 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,280 citation that nobody would have thought. 17 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,440 So yeah, it's super fun to be in this text yesterday and to be 18 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,000 able to walk through some of that stuff. 19 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,720 But yeah, here we are. I'm excited to dig a little bit 20 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,680 deeper. Yeah. 21 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,000 And Peter throughout the Gospels, like we have this 22 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,040 picture of Peter just the the brash, kind of impulsive, quick 23 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,280 to that he's not slow to anger. Like don't be too quick to 24 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,000 listen. Like he's he's fast to anger, 25 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,160 always talking, like. And now we have even in the 26 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,880 first couple chapters of Acts, we talked about the choosing of 27 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,720 the 12th apostle, like even however that played out, whether 28 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,280 whether it was what God had drawn up or not, like he was 29 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,000 using Scripture to inform the decision right back in reference 30 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000 that in chapter 1, he's back here in chapter 2, quoting, 31 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,960 quoting Old Testament, speaking words of Jesus like he's, he's 32 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,160 sourcing himself and the, and the preaching and his teaching 33 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,720 in the proper thing seemingly right. 34 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,520 And we didn't have time to get into all this yesterday, but 35 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,240 Peter has become quite the theologian. 36 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,480 I mean, yeah, he's he's all over the map with his stuff. 37 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,160 And if I can't remember if I said it yesterday or not, but 38 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,160 here in in Acts chapter 2 and and his sermon that he's giving, 39 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,080 it's Joel, it's Psalm 110 and it's Psalm 60 or 16, eight 40 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,440 through 11. And so I mean, like, yeah, this 41 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,800 guy is all over the place. He's citing Scripture. 42 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,480 And even, you know, some scholars will say, wow, he was 43 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,440 the first one to ever interpret that that way. 44 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaking specifically about like Psalm 16, eight through 11. 45 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,000 So it's really cool. It's fun and it's an important 46 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,600 model to see we we say it frequently, I think, but even us 47 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,680 on this podcast or or Sunday morning sermons certainly like 48 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,560 they're not they're not our words right where it's it's not 49 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,800 it's not our truth that we're making out of God's word and 50 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,400 Peter's illustrating that here too. 51 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,320 He's saying no, we we believe that these words are divinely 52 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,720 inspired. Yes, penned my penned down by 53 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,880 men, but inspired by the Holy Spirit, inspired by God, the 54 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,000 word of God and we and there's power in that for what it is. 55 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000 We don't even the power isn't brought out by how eloquently we 56 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,360 we teach or explain it. He's he's proclaiming the truth 57 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,040 of the word and there's power in that, even if it wasn't 58 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,600 unpacked, there's power in it to connect with human minds and, 59 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,480 and to understand even the truth of God's word plainly as it is, 60 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,920 even if it's not thoroughly explained. 61 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,920 He goes further than that and, and explains it and tries to 62 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,200 give him the OK, so this is then what you shall do. 63 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,280 But yeah, so just an, an early illustration of that too. 64 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,120 You know what? We're leaning on the word of God 65 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,000 as we preach and teach, as we proclaim, as we share the 66 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,520 gospel. Yeah, there's part of our 67 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,320 experience in it, too, that the world then thinks you're crazy 68 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,640 for. Thinks, thinks you're drunk on 69 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,399 too much wine for having this spiritual experience and this 70 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,560 indwelling of the Holy Spirit. But beyond that, it's simply the 71 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,520 power of the truth of God's Word, and that's what he's 72 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,120 leaning on here, and that's what we have to lean on moving 73 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,240 forward. To Yeah, it's interesting that 74 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,360 you say it that way. You. 75 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,680 I'm just thinking about this for the first time, so forgive me 76 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,920 because I'm just, I know I might just go off the rails here, but 77 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,200 consider the fact. OK, so going back to the 78 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,720 beginning of this chapter where everybody, as we mentioned, 79 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,760 presupposes they're drunk. Well, I, I actually, I feel like 80 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,280 that's a fairly apartment description of what's happening. 81 00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,000 And then even Peter sermon that, you know, again, we're looking 82 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,320 specifically, or we looked at specifically 22 through 39. 83 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,920 But here's the thing for anybody who's ever drank a little bit 84 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,160 too much and then you look back the next day, you're like, I 85 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,920 can't believe I did that. I can't believe I said that. 86 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,160 I can't believe, blah, blah, blah. 87 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,480 And here's the thing, I I almost wonder if Peter and the other 88 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,240 apostles, like they look back, you know, later that night after 89 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,040 he preaches this sermon or the next day and they go, Peter, I 90 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,440 can't believe you said that. Like, where did that come from? 91 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,360 Like that was amazing. And Peter's like, yeah, I can't 92 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,280 believe I said that either. And so I mean, I do think that 93 00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,760 like in in the most positive way possible, you know, that 94 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,320 indwelling of the Holy Spirit, it can make us, you know, it can 95 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,120 help us do and say things that like we're like, no way did I 96 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,200 really say that? And I'll be really honest. 97 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,480 And this is not like a please don't hear this as any kind of 98 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,400 bragging, but like, you know, like I do think that God still 99 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,480 really fills people with the Holy Spirit today. 100 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,640 So there are definitely been times I've come off stage and 101 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,800 like the notes were gone, baby, like I and, and I come off and 102 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,640 let's just like, Oh man, I really, I really like that that 103 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,640 you said that. And I said, did I say that? 104 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,640 And she's like, yeah, you did. You didn't. 105 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,600 You don't remember saying that. I was like, I don't know what I 106 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,320 said. Like I just, I just had the very 107 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,920 good sense that what I was saying was very true, but I 108 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,920 couldn't tell you what I said specifically. 109 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,120 Yeah, and I think there's, I think that's a part of it too, 110 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,960 the words. And that's how we know they're 111 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,040 not our words even sometimes like even with what we had 112 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,680 planned to say. I've I've had that too, where I 113 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,680 just in the moment, even looking at the verses that I've been 114 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,040 studying for the sermon all week. 115 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,720 Sometimes when they're on the screen in the sanctuary, another 116 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,600 thought screams through that just I don't, I don't know it 117 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,120 again, it didn't come from me. It was it was gifted to me to 118 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,400 then have to discern whether or not to let that out or not. 119 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,120 But yeah, that's we, we're seeing how the Holy Spirit works 120 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,000 and that that's, that's interesting that the next day 121 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,760 sort of can't believe you said that the Holy Spirit hangover 122 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,960 that was happening amongst the apostles the next the next day 123 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,000 after this, yeah. Holy Spirit hangover, there we 124 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,680 go. So there we go. 125 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,440 Yeah. All right, before we dive deeper 126 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,320 into that, a little levity, we got a lot of feedback and and 127 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,560 reviews for our topic last time on What do you? 128 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,560 Oh my goodness.

Planning a wedding talking about 185 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,760 that and I'm I have to let one RIP in the middle of that like 186 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,600 that's. Welcome to your joyous day. 187 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,360 Oh my gosh, I'm I'm like sweating over here. 188 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,280 I can't. My eyes are watering. 189 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,840 I'm sweating. This is too much. 190 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,520 See this This question really was built for people like me. 191 00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,520 Right. But it comes, it comes down to 192 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,280 it comes down to the wife thing. Could I know? 193 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,920 Could the wives adapt and do and do we want to put them in that 194 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,520 position of of having to deal with that for the rest of their 195 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:25,080 lives? The thing is, I feel like. 196 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,480 I feel like if I it's the last show we'll ever do, we'll we'll 197 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,440 both be found. Well, it's only the last one. 198 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,680 If they listen this week, if they listen to it, it's the last 199 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:36,160 one, right? No, but like, that's OK. 200 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,400 I think if I can just clarify, I think really the heart of the 201 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,680 question is make your wife miserable or you are personally 202 00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:47,680 embarrassed and other people are embarrassed by you. 203 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,800 Which one? Yes, yes, that is. 204 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,760 If we can like get it down to. Its part of the question. 205 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,040 Oh my gosh. Yeah. 206 00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:02,840 The other part of this is how often, how often do you already 207 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,200 just burp after, after you kiss like this? 208 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,600 Like like is. Is this changing a whole lot? 209 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,800 I mean, I don't, I'm not, I'm not chugging, you know, 7UP and 210 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,400 then kissing my wife and then like, you know, that's probably 211 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,520 not happening, but still. And and what? 212 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,000 And what if the roles were reversed? 213 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,280 Like whatever. See, that's maybe even a better 214 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,920 way to do it because now I can like, OK. 215 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,960 How would you feel could we tolerate our wives if if they 216 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,200 had to burp? Just belching on our faces. 217 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,160 I think I could live with it, but I think that's also maybe 218 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,280 how men and women are different. I'm not sure that they could 219 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,840 live with. It Yeah, yeah, You know what, 220 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,280 Thank you for putting it that way, 'cause I think I can 221 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,560 actually answer like, yeah, I don't, you know, I wouldn't want 222 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,120 my wife, you know, ripping every single time she has to have a 223 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,800 serious conversation with somebody. 224 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,680 She would she would never talk again. 225 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,440 So like for her sake and you know, I can, I can, I can take 226 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,200 that, especially if.

I don't know. 250 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,680 But but there has to be a thing that some people probably like 251 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,200 the sound of burps. Do you think I'm you know what 252 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,920 my search history is about to get weird because I'm going to 253 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:37,000 look that up right now.

What did you find? 259 00:14:54,520 --> 00:15:00,960 Oh no, I've Yep, Yep, it's a real thing. 260 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,320 Oh my, it's 100% a real thing.

But you've never unpacked as to 265 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,720 whether I've never unpacked if that was like, I've never 266 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,280 unpacked if that was the reason that like she's like so 267 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,160 attracted to me, you know all. Right. 268 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,160 And we've lost the remaining 3 listeners who didn't turn it off 269 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,080 5 minutes ago and now they're all gone. 270 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,840 All right. OK, OK, so to your point, 271 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,480 though, of like we would, I feel like I would if if sure wife 272 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,200 came to Emily came to me and this was a scenario. 273 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:50,200 Yes, OK, I would deal with burp kisses the rest of my life to 274 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,960 save you this embarrassment. I'm not sure she would say the 275 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,920 same thing. I'm I'm I think she might be 276 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,240 like, no, you you got to deal with this in your life. 277 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,040 I'm not, I'm not putting up with burp kisses. 278 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,160 You say burp kisses is so dumb you're. 279 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:13,200 Such a child, Oh my goodness. I can't. 280 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:18,880 I can't. I'm turning into my mother. 281 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,880 I I laugh, I laugh and I just start crying all. 282 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,520 Right. So I, I actually think, I think 283 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,080 I would have to, I think I would just have to be the farting 284 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,000 pastor like. You're going to be the farting 285 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,520 pastor. I think I would have to do that. 286 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,960 I don't think I could put my wife through it. 287 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,080 OK, Yeah, well, I'm. Sorry congregation, you can go 288 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,920 to Chris for all your serious conversation. 289 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,880 See, and I won't burp in your face. 290 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,280 I'll just burp in my wife's face. 291 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,520 It's fine. So we're split. 292 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,280 It's been a while since we were split on one of these I think, 293 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,760 but. We are split. 294 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,360 Yeah, for, I don't know, I think that's where I got to land so. 295 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,600 That's it. Fart loudly every time you have 296 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,800 a serious conversation, or burp after every kiss. 297 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,200 That's now you know. Now you know where we land on 298 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,560 it. So, you know, and that is so 299 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,520 much more important to know than any political ideologies or 300 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,920 anything else. That's the stuff you really want 301 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,040 to know about your past so. All right, we're going to take a 302 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,560 quick break, let Chris regroup here, and we're going to dunk 303 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,319 back into some more on Acts chapter 2. 304 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:25,520 We'll be right back. All right, if you are somehow 305 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,200 still with us after and during that conversation, we're going 306 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,040 to dive back into Acts chapter 2 here. 307 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:40,520 Peter's sermon after Pentecost here, Chris outlined a lot of 308 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,240 things for us yesterday, but some main things to consider in 309 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,160 your sermon yesterday were God's plans already accounting for 310 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,960 evil? You mentioned it's it. 311 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,680 It's what, It's the material. He has to work with sinful 312 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,120 people, right? Yep, save for Jesus Christ, you 313 00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:58,800 know, we just, we just, I don't know, that's, that's tough 314 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,360 material to work with. You're like, you know, I would 315 00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:06,240 like to do more and I would like to let them help me do more, but 316 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,120 they're just sometimes so bad at this, you know, and, and, and I 317 00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:13,640 wonder, I'm sure God doesn't think that way because we get to 318 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,600 be his children and he loves us dearly. 319 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,720 However, yeah, when you only have flawed material to work 320 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,000 with, you're probably pulling some strings. 321 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,520 And I think the things that we see God do on a daily basis 322 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,360 still, like he's seriously pulling some strings. 323 00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:32,440 It is really not us. It is the work of the Holy 324 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,200 Spirit. It is his moving in and amongst 325 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,040 us that really gets the job done. 326 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,960 Yep, and that's really where he starts here. 327 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,560 We we've mentioned already the the drunkenness with too much 328 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,680 wine, but that's where where you were the passage you were 329 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,520 preaching on yesterday. Peter's explaining like he he's 330 00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:53,560 he's trying to make sense of. Hey, no, they're they weren't, 331 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,000 they weren't drunk. We aren't, we aren't drunk on 332 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,160 wine. We are drunk on the Holy Spirit. 333 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,040 But this is like, this is how it played out and this is the 334 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,360 significance of it. And, and what he says is the the 335 00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:10,120 spirit, the conclusion we get is the spirit empowers people to 336 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,040 prophecy. And what does that's, that's 337 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,920 really Luke's conclusion in describing this. 338 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:15,640 And what? What is? 339 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,400 What does that encompass? For, yeah. 340 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,360 And actually there's. So there's a scholar, William J 341 00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:26,000 Larkin junior, and he gives this interesting thing that actually 342 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,800 even for me helped create like a better understanding of this 343 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,600 word because I think like prophecy and prophecy like we 344 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,680 get we get certain ideas built around that are like, Oh, I'm 345 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,320 predicting the future and I'm this magical being. 346 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,920 But really he says it like this prophecy for Luke encompasses 347 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,120 spirit filled speaking in other languages. 348 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:48,000 So speaking in tongues, predictive discourse. 349 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,520 OK, so that's where we kind of get that idea of like, oh, I'm 350 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,320 saying something that's going to happen. 351 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,840 But he also says a proclamatory witness. 352 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,440 Yeah, that's awesome. Because you know what? 353 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,920 That's that's how Peter starts this thing. 354 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,240 He's just proclaiming. He's just witnessing. 355 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,960 And you mentioned it before the show. 356 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,000 You're like, he's just kind of recounting what happened. 357 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,480 You know, he's like, this is what happened. 358 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,440 And I mean, you know. So here's the thing. 359 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,000 I think especially based on what Larkin says, you can go so far 360 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,520 as to say that when a person is speaking about Jesus Christ and 361 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,200 what he's done for us, and you're speaking truth and maybe 362 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,400 even you're speaking a little bit out of your depth and, and, 363 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,000 and outside of your realm of typical courage, man, you better 364 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,800 be aware that the Holy Spirit's working in you right now, right? 365 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,040 And so like I, yeah, I love that he puts those three things in 366 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,960 that that prophecy category. And and it's important that they 367 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,720 are all there together. I don't know that he's listening 368 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,520 them in measures of significance necessarily. 369 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,880 I don't think it's all it's all the same realm of prophecy and 370 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,000 prophesying. And a lot of times that 371 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:05,560 proclamatory witness, proclamatory proclamation, I 372 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:06,480 don't know. I don't know why I'm having 373 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,080 such. Trouble. 374 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,200 That's a weird. Proclamation Proclamatory. 375 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,840 Wow, OK, clamatory. I don't know, English is a weird 376 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:22,880 language anyway, that's I don't know that we often think of that 377 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:28,400 just simply speaking about God's word or simply speaking God's 378 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,120 word. I don't know that we consider 379 00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:34,120 that prophecy often enough and that the opening words to the 380 00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:36,480 passage you preached on yesterday, Peter, just men of 381 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,320 Israel hear these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man 382 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,280 attested to you by God with mighty works. 383 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,200 This Jesus delivered up to others in the definite plan and 384 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,000 knowledge of God. You're crucified by the hands of 385 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,760 of lawless men and God raised him up like this is recent 386 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,920 history. This happened like. 387 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,240 Weeks ago, 40 some days prior, yeah. 388 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:02,000 So this this is something that we would maybe assume they knew, 389 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,800 but Peter didn't assume that. Peter assumed they had to hear 390 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,440 the beginning of the story, the the beginning details. 391 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,920 So even us at times if, if it's if it's neighbors or like, do do 392 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,000 you know what they know about Jesus or, or do you assume that 393 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,680 they well, yeah, they probably know what Easter and Christmas 394 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,600 are about. So like they I don't know. 395 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,720 I, I, I think, I think we maybe gloss over that or, or assume 396 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,080 too much where it, whereas those simple things are still 397 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,720 glorifying to God, they're, they're still edifying to God in 398 00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:43,480 declaring them and proclaiming them to people. 399 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,360 And that's lumped in, in the, in this, in this prophecy, of 400 00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:48,640 course, of course, we, I think we more readily think of 401 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,800 prophecy as like, yeah, predicting the future, telling 402 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,560 of something that's going to happen more the supernatural 403 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,520 ability to to speak in tongues or, or communicate in other 404 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,240 languages. I think we see those two aspects 405 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,520 of prophecy far less. So we maybe think that prophecy 406 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,760 doesn't happen. It is these simple things. 407 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,400 It is these word of God, truth of God things. 408 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,320 And, and Peter's showing us that here. 409 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,640 Yeah. And I, I want to pick up on what 410 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,560 you said just for like, very practical purposes for us 411 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,120 because I did not have a chance to get into this yesterday. 412 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:24,840 But like, man, you are absolutely right. 413 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,600 Let's stop assuming that people already have a biblical 414 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:34,040 narrative in their lives. I mean, you know, it's research 415 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,080 already has been telling us for years that we are the most 416 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,000 biblically illiterate generation that has ever existed inside the 417 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,560 United States. That's just a fact. 418 00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:49,080 And so like, man, yeah, if I invite my neighbor or, or 419 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,800 whatever to a Christmas service or an Easter service, I 420 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,560 shouldn't necessarily know, assume that they understand the 421 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,120 Easter or the Christmas story because if they show up to 422 00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:03,320 church on Christmas Eve, because they're like, Oh yeah, it's 423 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,720 Christmas, I should probably go. And it seems like a nice thing 424 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,200 to do, man. They're probably going to hear 425 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,680 something that they didn't realize was real or true, you 426 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,280 know? And so I mean, like, yeah, we we 427 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,520 should not. But it's not that we're not 428 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,120 thinking highly of the people that we're trying to give the 429 00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:21,560 gospel to. They're not unintelligent 430 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:22,960 because they don't know these things. 431 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,000 They just don't know them. And it's, it's OK to like, start 432 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,040 the way Peter started and just give them, you know, the the 433 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,600 news reel at first. This is what it is. 434 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,360 This is what happened. And we say that as an 435 00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:37,280 imperative. This is it. 436 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,680 Like, it's not opinion, it's not fact. 437 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,640 This is world history. This is it. 438 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,360 And and so out of that he he goes into this invitation to 439 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,920 repent again, repent just doing doing an about face doing this 440 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,480 180 in your life's orientation, attaching yourself to Jesus, 441 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,960 turning from sin that you have a you have a note from John Stott 442 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,440 here, another New Testament scholar. 443 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,160 Repentance and faith involve each other. 444 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,360 The turn from sin being impossible without the turn to 445 00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:11,320 God and vice versa. We've talked about this report 446 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,520 like sin problem, bad habit, whatever it is, we're going to 447 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,240 replace it with something right. It might be another bad habit. 448 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,640 It might be a different sin or a different bad relationship or a 449 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,400 different thing. This perfect picture of 450 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,840 repentance is is replacing those weights and sins, those things 451 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,440 pulling you away from God and turning true God. 452 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,320 That's what needs to replace those things. 453 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,400 So he's making this call, this appeal to these people and we 454 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,600 see we see at the end there is there is response, there is. 455 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,880 I can't remember if you got to verse 41 yesterday, but the. 456 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,160 No, not quite. Is those who received his word 457 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,840 were baptized and they were added that day about 3000 souls 458 00:25:54,840 --> 00:26:00,720 to their numbers like there is this turning this power within 459 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,760 this and it's why we proclaim the gospel. 460 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,080 It's why it may be redundant for your regular church goes you 461 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,880 probably do hear almost every week that we do layout Jesus 462 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,720 Christ came to die and rose from the grave and defeated sin, 463 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,240 death in the grave. And it's for you. 464 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,280 Well, there are maybe people in our midst that don't hear that. 465 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,440 And those that are in our midst maybe need to be reminded of it 466 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,640 every week too, because that's the that's the crux of this. 467 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,560 That's our everyday, every week battle is turning from sin and 468 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,920 replacing with God turning from sin and replacing with God. 469 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,960 So. Yeah, we should never, we should 470 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,280 never get over the core message of the gospel. 471 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,240 So one of the things again, when I was, when I was a little bit 472 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:49,480 earlier in my career, I did assume, Oh, and this is super 473 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,320 naive. I actually feel embarrassed 474 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,840 saying it out loud, but I, but I, I did kind of assume like, 475 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,040 Hey, you're in this church. You probably have this life 476 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,760 saving relationship with Jesus. Little did I know that as I 477 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,240 really honestly got to know people like, no, they're there 478 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,960 because that's what you do culturally in that place. 479 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,160 They're there because their spouse makes them. 480 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,040 They're there because it gives them some level of social 481 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,040 influence, you know, and it's just like, Oh my gosh, when I 482 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,320 realized that I, I promised myself there would never be a 483 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,840 Sunday that goes by where I'm preaching where you're not 484 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,440 hearing Jesus Christ crucified, like outright, you know, And so 485 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:34,800 as one preacher put it like, I need to say essentially the same 486 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,040 thing every week. I just need to think of 10,000 487 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,080 different ways to say it, you know? 488 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,360 And so I just, it's so important. 489 00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:44,840 So, yeah, we should not assume that just because people might 490 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,680 culturally look like Christians because they're upholding a 491 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,480 certain standard of morality or whatever. 492 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,840 Like, no, that doesn't that doesn't mean you have a 493 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,360 relationship with Jesus. And having a relationship with 494 00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:02,320 Jesus means that, man, I am actively repenting day by day 495 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,720 because I'm seeing the ways that I've fallen short. 496 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,760 But I'm also not like down in the dumps because I actively 497 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,200 know that the gospel has saved me, that his blood has been 498 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,680 spilled for me and therefore I am free. 499 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,240 Yeah, and that's the truth that we need to remind ourselves and 500 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,640 and live in from Samuel Davies has this interesting thought on 501 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,000 repentance because there's there's ways that you can talk 502 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,720 about and kind of twist these words from Peter of like 503 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:33,080 repentance and baptism being necessary, like rituals or or 504 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,400 conditions to go through for salvation. 505 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,400 And and this is where it gets a little weird because. 506 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,640 It does. They're good there. 507 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,080 There are. There are good things there. 508 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:49,000 There is power in in repentance. In fact, it's necessary to, to 509 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,000 come to faith, repent and be baptized is is declared and we 510 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000 do believe there's, there's spiritual outpouring power in 511 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,000 the act of baptism. Absolutely. 512 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,120 But Samuel Davies has this thought on, on both these 513 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,680 things. I'm not, I'm, I'm not, I'm just 514 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,640 trying to frame that. So it's not like necessary. 515 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,760 We don't, we don't have things that are legalistic like that 516 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,960 that we must engage with in order to merit salvation. 517 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,480 It's by grace alone through faith alone and Christ alone. 518 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,200 Like that's, that's what it is. The thief on the cross wasn't 519 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,800 baptized and certainly is in heaven. 520 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,760 That's right, we have we have that juxtaposition too. 521 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:30,000 But anyway, the question that Samuel Davies answers here is 522 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,240 the question is not shall I repent? 523 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,400 For that is beyond a doubt. But the question is, shall I 524 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,640 repent now when it may save me, or shall I put it off to the 525 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,880 eternal world when my repentance will be my punishment? 526 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,800 Whoa. That's a mic drop, man. 527 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,840 I don't, you know. Yeah, I I didn't. 528 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,360 That's the question and urgency that Peter is. 529 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,640 He didn't say those words. Those aren't Peter's words, but 530 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,640 that's basically the message that Peter repent and be 531 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,200 baptized is repent now. The Kingdom of God is at hand 532 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:07,200 and hell with fire and brimstone is a real thing like so that's 533 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,800 what Davies is putting out is is there this response to this call 534 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,640 to repent and be baptized now in this life, or is it going to be 535 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,480 taken out of your flesh in eternal hell like that and 536 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:22,240 that's your repentance? That's it's so, so I saw that 537 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,680 before the sermon and I was just like, man, that is so hard 538 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,240 hitting. I just, I don't know. 539 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,320 I mean, I, I know how I could recover as a public speaker from 540 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,440 saying that, you know, like you can recover with the gospel, 541 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,520 like, but that is so heavy. And that's, and it's such a good 542 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:39,440 quote. And he's right. 543 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,320 He's right. Like we, we have a choice now, 544 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,120 now or later. It's going to happen one way or 545 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,520 another. And so yeah, I just love that 546 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:49,720 quote. I think it's great. 547 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,680 But like I. But it brings back the necessity 548 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,320 of the gospel, like you were saying that that weekly this 549 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,720 needs to be in there. If I'm, if I'm telling about 550 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,960 God's word and yes, there's law and gospel, but that's how we we 551 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,760 know we need the gospel because of the heaviness of the law, 552 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,720 right? And so that even goes into kind 553 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,040 of your next point that you talked about yesterday in the 554 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,560 sermon having having that weekly commitment to having the gospel 555 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,920 in there. God's plans are multi 556 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,720 generational. You said like, and that's the 557 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,000 trick of it. That's the trick of even this 558 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,760 proclamatory witness of we don't always see the results and fruit 559 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,760 of that, but we're called to be faithful in declaring it because 560 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,480 because as you, as you pointed out, we don't know. 561 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,280 We don't know the ripple effect. We don't know the all the lives 562 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,320 touched necessarily in that moment or down the road or even 563 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,280 in another lifetime that we're not even going to see. 564 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,880 Maybe there's an individual on Sunday who went home to their 565 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,920 kid and they never came back to church here even, but but went 566 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,960 home to their kids and raised their kids up and they moved 567 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,640 somewhere else and went to a church and their kids had kids 568 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,680 who grew up knowing the truth of Jesus Christ. 569 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:07,880 Like we God's playing the long game even in and beyond your 570 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,400 life. I think you did a good job of, 571 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,320 of like highlighting that yesterday. 572 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,200 But that's, that's the faithfulness to the gospel that 573 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,880 we're called to because if we hold to that, that's the thing 574 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,840 that has power to move and change lives. 575 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,840 It's not us. So we need to be faithful to the 576 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,120 thing that has the power. So good. 577 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:31,200 I mean, I just, yeah, it's, it's a as you talk about that man. 578 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,080 And even just, it's such a big deal, you know, when I became a 579 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,880 Christian, as I think most of us, when you're early on, you're 580 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,560 just kind of excited about learning new things and you're 581 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,880 like, man, I feel I feel different now. 582 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:49,760 And that feels really good. But The thing is, as you grow in 583 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,800 faith and maturity and you, as you examine God's Word and you 584 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,640 let that just kind of settle in and help shape who you are, your 585 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,600 priorities tend to change. And I think that's absolutely 586 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,160 been the case for me and other Christians I know. 587 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,560 And so like, you know, coming upon these verses and seeing 588 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,440 God's multi generational plans that, you know, Peter picks up 589 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,520 on through Joel and through David and through himself and 590 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,720 what's going to happen after him. 591 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,840 And it's just like, man, I, I really think that like I would 592 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:26,240 love to have a life where even in even like, if it's generation 593 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,360 or two later, like it's, it is OK. 594 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,440 It is OK if, if you don't remember my name, because as 595 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,440 long as like, man, the people who I told Jesus about are still 596 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,360 telling people about Jesus, who still tell people about Jesus. 597 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,360 Like, that's amazing. Like that means that my life 598 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,240 really did have an impact on the world. 599 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,640 And I, I think that's so many of what like I didn't get in, I 600 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,920 didn't have time to talk about this yesterday, but I think it's 601 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,400 an interesting illustrative point. 602 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,400 Like athletes, modern day athletes are always talking 603 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,520 about, oh, legacy, legacy, legacy. 604 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,400 And they're all, you know, I'm going to hit, I'm going to have 605 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,120 this many points and people are going to think about me forever. 606 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,800 And it's like, man, that's so selfish. 607 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,320 Like, so you're saying in your life, what really matters to you 608 00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:18,719 is that, you know, if we go on for another 300 years, people 609 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,760 are still saying, oh, well, that guy 300 years ago who we can 610 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,120 watch footage of, like, Yep, he still has the most points. 611 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,080 Whoop Dee Doo dah. Like that's the big deal for 612 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,840 your entire lifespan. Come on, man. 613 00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:35,159 Like, I love, I love sports as much as anybody, but like, 614 00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:38,000 there's got to be more to life than just hitting home runs and 615 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,719 breaking records, right? Like, what about actually 616 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:47,120 authentically taking someone's life and by the gospel, turning 617 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,320 them in entirely different direction, which turns their 618 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,600 family tree in entirely different direction? 619 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,960 That's important. That's what I want to do. 620 00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,640 That's legacy impact. That's, that's what Peter's 621 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,560 going after here too. Is is generations turning around 622 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:07,560 this this last days sort of thing that is being prophesied 623 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,040 in Joel. There's power that's moving that 624 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,520 is that is hinting at this being the last days in the Kingdom of 625 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:19,120 God being at hand, being fulfilled in the Holy Spirit and 626 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,920 the promised Holy Spirit here. And and it's all again, just 627 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,360 pointing back screaming about Jesus that the resurrection, 628 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,520 that the power within that, that he has conquered death, which 629 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,960 again is still I don't, I can't get can't quite put myself in 630 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,680 the mindset that they maybe have. 631 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:47,040 Like, I feel like with the way just technology and life has 632 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,600 evolved, progressed, been made, been made better. 633 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,240 Like I feel like it's more feasible now maybe for us to 634 00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:58,400 like think that someone could be brought back from the dead. 635 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,160 Does that make sense? Like, oh, like I think that I 636 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,920 think that message would have had a lot more gravity then then 637 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,160 it doesn't. It's still a significant thing 638 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,400 off. We haven't brought anyone back 639 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,520 from the dead. And when we do in science 640 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,800 fiction, they're brought back to zombies. 641 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,720 And it's not the same or or or or or a half person of what they 642 00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:16,960 were. It's not it's not the same 643 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,440 thing. Like I think that's I think 644 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,760 that's the right that we generally landed on in science 645 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,800 fiction is like, even if we bring them back, it's not going 646 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,600 to be the person that it was before. 647 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,360 But so either way, I'm not sure why that pops into my head. 648 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,480 I couldn't. I couldn't. 649 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,920 Let that you're letting the intrusive thoughts win. 650 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,800 Normally that's my deal. That is a bad intrusive thought. 651 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,360 But either way, just just the significance of that. 652 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,080 I think we say it so readily now that he conquered sin and death 653 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,680 in the grave, but that was that was a significant that like 654 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,360 that's crazy. Hey, actually pause for a second 655 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:53,720 because do you think, do you think we only say that because 656 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:56,440 we are so often times surrounded by Christians? 657 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,880 If you went and said a phrase like that in like the middle of 658 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,440 Chicago or New York City or any other major metropolitan area 659 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:11,560 where religion has lost its, you know, coolness and like decades 660 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,040 ago. That would be crazy, yeah. 661 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,760 Like I, I think you know what? And maybe we need to reframe our 662 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,240 stuff because as I was listening to you, I was like, I mean, 663 00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:25,320 sure, I hear that all the time, but I'm a pastor who lives and, 664 00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:29,360 you know, who lives amongst mostly Christians because that's 665 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,120 who we hang out with most of the time. 666 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,760 So like, man, maybe we do just need to do Peter's thing and 667 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,480 just be like, you know what? I'm you don't know this and I'm 668 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,000 going to tell you about. It I'm going to tell you all 669 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000 about it and I'm going to start at the beginning. 670 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,360 So actually, man, that you know what? 671 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:46,920 But it starts with the crazy that's. 672 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,200 What I'm saying it starts with the. 673 00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:49,920 Crazy. That would have been a wild that 674 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,480 you're right, it still is a wild thing to declare. 675 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,880 But I know it's interesting that he kind of pushes back on them 676 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,360 thinking that he's crazy by saying a very crazy thing. 677 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,200 So yeah. Yeah, or at least just if not 678 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,040 crazy, of course, because so many of them witnessed it. 679 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:12,640 Just remarkably difficult to wrap your head around. 680 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,320 But it's also interesting, as much as things change, they also 681 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,320 stay the same. He's speaking to in the rest of 682 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,680 this passage, a corrupt generation that is heading for 683 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,280 disaster. Well, we still have that right. 684 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:30,280 Like we still, we still feel that in in society that we have 685 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,200 a every generation since then, right? 686 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,800 Has still been corrupt, right? It's still just heading the 687 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,400 wrong way, still needs repentance, replacing the bad 688 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:45,320 things with God. And yeah, so this invitation 689 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,920 from Peter is, is again, just because of the resurrection, 690 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,520 because of the significance, the craziness that he was able to to 691 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,800 overcome death. This is why, and you repent and 692 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,840 be baptized and enter into this power, You enter into this, 693 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,840 'cause this is now an identity that you are, I mean, you are a 694 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,000 Christian, right? You are now a follower of 695 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,040 Christ, follower of the crazy guy who conquered death and the 696 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,640 grave. And you're embracing Jesus's way 697 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,120 instead casting away the way of the world and embracing Jesus's 698 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:18,880 way. Yep. 699 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,920 And we, you know, guys, we're not going to do that perfectly. 700 00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:25,680 It's it's not going to work out that way. 701 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,040 But as we faithfully in repentance and through the Holy 702 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,440 Spirit walk with Jesus day in and day out, you are going to 703 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,400 see changes in your life. You know, sometimes you're 704 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,400 probably going to see some people, some new people come in 705 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,120 and you're going to see others probably walk away if you really 706 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,640 stick to this message of the Gospel. 707 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,760 But ultimately, again, like we know that God is in control. 708 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:56,000 He's even in control of the evil things that happen, as we 709 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,760 clearly learn here in the tension of this text. 710 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:04,560 But like God's, God's got you. And so I mean, I, I hope that 711 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,880 like coming out of yesterday and even listening today and maybe 712 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,960 other Christian things, you're listening to a reading. 713 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,600 I hope you do want to live like a different life. 714 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,240 I hope you know you want to live kind of a multiplying life where 715 00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:20,480 it's not about you and it's not even necessarily about the next 716 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,400 generation down. It's still thinking very, very 717 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,800 big picture of the way that God thinks because then man, we, we 718 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,720 are potentially capable of doing something really remarkable. 719 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:36,120 Going back to this this death thing, because Peter also harps 720 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,520 on this. Remember, we're talking about 721 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,360 the word and the Old Testament of the things that he's was 722 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,600 declaring and recounting and and telling them that maybe some of 723 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,920 them had heard in in scriptures or or had this record of the Old 724 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:53,080 Testament, but David would have still been like major 725 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,680 figurehead. Oh, absolutely. 726 00:40:55,040 --> 00:41:00,920 These people's minds and he goes on and in verses 25 to 2829 to 727 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:05,520 kind of declare, OK, and this is different. 728 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,240 David died. David is in fact still dead and 729 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,840 this man Jesus is not he's he's set himself apart. 730 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,800 And in fact these words in Psalm 16, which maybe you're familiar 731 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,560 with church or or early Christians, people who don't 732 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,960 know Christ yet. David wasn't in fact talking 733 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,760 about himself. He was talking about the one 734 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,600 that would come, the one that it did come and has risen from the 735 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,080 dead. And so if if you have David, if 736 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,840 you're a person here today who has David on this high pedestal, 737 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,760 well, this Jesus is the greater than it is, is the more than. 738 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,040 So whatever you think about David, readjust your opinion. 739 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,080 And this Jesus guy, he's the one you actually want to go after. 740 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:53,200 Yeah, it's it's so cool to watch this warrior king, Prophet David 741 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,960 is all of the above. It's interesting to watch him 742 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,560 look at his own life and then continue to look forward and 743 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,160 say, wow, the Lord said to my Lord, by the way, that's Psalm 744 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,480 110 one, and that's not 25. That's, you know, the other spot 745 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:14,040 in Acts where he's quoting. But but anyway, yeah, his use of 746 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,960 David's life and how David perceives the coming Messiah and 747 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,680 that David can clearly see that man, this life that I'm living, 748 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,600 although it is great in a lot of ways, and God has given me a ton 749 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,880 of responsibility and he's put me over this nation. 750 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,440 Yeah, there's still one bigger and better and more important 751 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,560 because he will save us from there. 752 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,720 Like there's, there's someone bigger coming. 753 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,040 And I get to be a part of that. Like I get to be in that line 754 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,920 because God's God has promised me I'm in that line. 755 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,000 But like, he's still my Lord, and he's coming. 756 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,960 Yeah. So we have just kind of the rest 757 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:53,280 of that's in Acts chapter 2, verses 34 and 35 that you're 758 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,640 talking about there. But Peter is referencing these 759 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,800 familiar words of David, Psalm 16 and Psalm 110. 760 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,960 Just just pointing out he's not talking about it. 761 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,360 Even David, this guy that you have highly exalted and think 762 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,280 well of, he wasn't talking about himself. 763 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,200 He was talking about the one that is to come and now has 764 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,640 come. And I'm here to tell you this is 765 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,760 what happened and and we see the results of that there there was 766 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,200 just by simple proclamation, proclamatory witness that Peter 767 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,240 at this point is not speaking in tongues. 768 00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:28,400 He is not foretelling of of future. 769 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,120 He's just spitting truth balls right like and and this is the 770 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,320 response we see 3000 added to their numbered that were that 771 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,160 were saved that day. It's cool. 772 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,880 It's it's an awesome result. And and this is kind of what we 773 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,800 were talking about last time, though, the wondering if they 774 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,800 acted out of turn. They were told to wait for the 775 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,080 promised Holy Spirit and they were like, OK, but we got a 776 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:55,320 roster spot to fill. So we got it. 777 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,160 We got to get the 12th guy in here and what that is may have 778 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,200 been fine. They weren't moving with the 779 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,280 spirit at that point. Now the Spirit is poured out, 780 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,480 Peter's inspired, filled with the truth of God's Word. 781 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,880 And oh, my goodness, the Spirit moves right like this. 782 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,040 This is the this kind of supercharged Holy Spirit that 783 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,800 that we've been talking about for the past couple weeks. 784 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,760 This is the result because of Peter's faithfulness, because of 785 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,640 the the prophecy contained within these words, even in his 786 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,240 proclamatory witness here of the truth of God. 787 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,240 And this is the result. God's glorified lives are 788 00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:30,920 changed, eternal, like generations are changed at this 789 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:31,880 point, right? Because. 790 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,480 Yeah, 3000, that's like. Oh my gosh. 791 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,520 There were probably weren't even 300 Christians at at this point. 792 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,720 Maybe. I think, I think earlier we get 793 00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:45,880 that there's about 120 Jesus followers who are sticking 794 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:50,800 around after he ascends or after he dies, but we go from 120 to 795 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,040 like around 3000. We're talking 2030 times in a 796 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,520 day. And then just again, we talked 797 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,520 about this yesterday, but imagine just do the multi, just 798 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:05,320 do the math, do the multiplying. Those 3000 people went home, 799 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,200 told their families, raise their kids this way. 800 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,000 Those then went and you know, again, like we said yesterday, 801 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,080 do the math, it exponentially multiplies. 802 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,800 And here we are 2000 years later and there's billions of people 803 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,480 who have been saved. Why? 804 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:27,000 Because through God's Holy Spirit, Peter speaks up and 805 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,840 changes the world and others do the same thing inside that first 806 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,240 generation of Christianity. And here we are. 807 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,600 It's so crazy. Think about it. 808 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,640 You know what? I don't think we think about 809 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,000 this enough, but it's really cool. 810 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,720 There's this game called like is I'm going to go off the rails A. 811 00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:43,280 Little bit. Oh boy. 812 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,560 There's this game called 7° of Kevin Bacon, right, Right. 813 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,800 You know the game. Well, for those who don't, it's 814 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,920 it's pretty, it's pretty quick to explain. 815 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,080 Basically, can I get to Kevin Bacon through seven different 816 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,720 people? I know that he might know, that 817 00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:00,680 we might mutually know. And the idea is that everybody 818 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,360 knows Kevin Bacon within 7°. Well, you know what's really 819 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,400 cool though? And I know it's been 2000 years, 820 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,000 but like man, we have a Direct Line to Peter and the apostles 821 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,240 as we proclaim the name of Jesus Christ, as we believe. 822 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,640 Think about it. There's somebody a generation 823 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,400 before us who believed and spoke truth and before them and before 824 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,840 them and before them. And you can walk it all the way 825 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,280 back to Peter in this day. If you believe in Jesus Christ 826 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,480 today, walk yourself right back to Pentecost because you got to 827 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,800 be there. That day affected you today, and 828 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,200 that's a cool thing to think about. 829 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,440 Yeah, that's awesome. That's and that's where we're 830 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,680 going to leave it today. So it's yeah, you recovered well 831 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,600 from the from the earlier. I just needed a moment. 832 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,880 I was sweaty. It was weird. 833 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,720 So no church be encouraged in that the the generations that 834 00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:54,920 have come before you and have passed down, even if it wasn't 835 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,960 in your family directly, there was someone before you that 836 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,280 proclaimed truth and spoke truth into your life. 837 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,720 And here you are on this multi generational plan ready to 838 00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:08,800 ripple effect and and have impact on eternity for 839 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,800 generations to come. You're filled with the same 840 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,680 spirit that that's the power of the spirit that does the 841 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,920 changing. We just have to be faithful to 842 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,080 the word of God in it. So be encouraged in that today. 843 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,640 Thanks for hanging out with us. We'll be back next week with 844 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,240 some more leftovers. See you.
