6.10.18 // With the Wind (Week 2)
IMPACT OF THE WIND
Read: Acts 3:1-4:37
THE SPIRIT LEADS US TO THE IMPACTÂ OF JESUS’ NAME
Read: John 15:26
Most of the sermons in Acts contain four elements:
1- a declaration that the time of the Messiah has finally come
2- quotations from the OT to prove that Jesus is the Messiah
3- a review of the life and ministry of Jesus, especially His resurrection
4- a call to repentance
THE SPIRIT IMPACTS PEOPLE TO BELIEVE
Peter’s first sermon- 3000 came to faith. His second sermon – 2000 more.
THE IMPACT OF THE SPIRITÂ IS A CONTINUAL REFRESHING
A believer’s interaction with the Spirit is never static- Luke describes Peter’s dynamic, ongoing relationship of the Spirit’s power and anointing. It’s not a once and done thing! We’ve gotta keep coming back. We need the wind every day.
THE IMPACT OF THE SPIRIT IS UNDENIABLE
Healing occurred. It was a “notable sign.”
THE IMPACT OF THE SPIRIT IS UNITY
There is power when the body of the church comes together and prays. Pastor shared a memory from a youth choir tour where the students all gathered after a service and were laying on the ground praying. Reminded us of the opportunity to gather this Wednesday night for prayer at 7pm in the Sanctuary again.
