This Week’s Theme: Thankful for Being Used
This Week’s Word is Suffering: The experience of pain or distress, both physical and emotional.
Scripture is thoroughly realistic about the place of suffering in the world and in the lives of believers.
To become a Christian is not to escape from suffering, but to be able to bear suffering with dignity and hope.
Memory Verse: Romans 5:3 “3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;”
Essence of the Text in a Sentence: The disciples rejoiced after being persecuted
Sermon Proposition: God is calling Christians to rejoice in our sufferings for Christ.
Sermon Objective: I want those in attendance to learn to rejoice in the Lord at all times.
Sermon Text: Acts 5:40-42
INTRODUCTION:
TRANSITION:
I. REJOICED BECAUSE OF THE RESPONSE
Acts 5:19-20; Acts 5:25; Acts 5:29-32;
WITH RESOLVE
LOOK AT VERSE 19-20
LOOK AT VERSE 25
LOOK AT VERSE 29
WITH REALITY
LOOK AT VERSES 30-32
Are you rejoicing because of the change God has made in your life?
II.
REJOICED BECAUSE OF THE RELEASING
Acts 5:38-39; Acts 5:40;
LOOK AT THE TEXT IN VERSES 38-39.
LOOK AT VERSE 40.
Are you rejoicing over the deliverance Christ has provided?
III.
REJOICED BECAUSE OF THE REVEALING
Luke 21:12-13; John 16:1-4; Matthew 5:10-12; Acts 5:18; Acts 5:33; Acts 5:40;
LOOK AT WHAT JESUS TOLD THE PEOPLE DURING THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT IN MATTHEW 5:10-12.
HIS DISCIPLES IN LUKE 21:12-13.
NOW COUPLE THIS WITH JOHN 16:1-4.
THE PRISON
THE PLOTTING
THE PADDLING
Are you rejoicing over the fact that hardship is not a surprise to you?
IV.
REJOICED BECAUSE OF THE REPRESENTATION
Acts 5:41; John 15:20; Acts 4:13; 2 Corinthians 11:23-25; John 13:14-15; Ephesians 5:2; Philippians 2:5; 1 Peter 3:14, 16; 1 Peter 4:16; 2 Corinthians 11:23-25;
LOOK AT OUR TEXT IN ACT 5:41.
LOOK AT WHAT JESUS SAID IN JOHN 15:20.
THEY RESEMBLE HIM
RESEMBLE HIM
AFTER PETER AND JOHN HAD HEALED THE MAN AT THE GATE BEAUTIFUL AND WERE CEASED BY THE COUNCIL, THE COUNCIL SAW SOMETHING IN THESE MEN.
LOOK AT ACTS 4:13.
MY DADDY SAID, BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER.
IF YOU WANT TO BE WISE HANG AROUND WISE PEOPLE.
THESE MEN SPENT 3 YEARS WITH CHRIST, AND HE HAD RUBBED OFF ON THEM.
JESUS EXPECTED HIS FOLLOWERS TO DO WHAT HE DID.
Remember Jesus’ instructions to His disciples about serving one another in John 13:14-15.
THIS IS WHY THE SCRIPTURES CALL FOR CHRISTIANS TO IMITATE CHRIST.
WHEN IT COMES TO sacrificially LOVING THE BIBLE SAYS IN Ephesians 5:2.
THE BIBLE CALLS FOR US TO SUFFER LOOK AT 1 PETER 2:21.
THIS IS WHY Paul CALLED FOR EVERY SAINT TO PHIL 2.5 “5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,”
NOT ONLY DID THEY RESEMBLE CHRIST BUT THE WALKED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
RIGHTEOUSNESS
REMEMBER JESUS COMMAND IN MATT 6:33 “33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
DON’T MISS CRUCIAL POINT.
PAUL CONFIRMED IN 2 TIMOTHY 3:12
PETER TAUGHT IN HIS FIRST EPISTLE CHAPTER 3 VERSE 14.
IN VERSE 16, YOU CAN
PAUL WAS NOT SHAME
HE TOLD THE CHURCH, IN Galatians 6:17, “. . .
I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.”
Paul EVEN shared his sufferings for Christ as a servant BECAUSE FALSE TEACHERS QUESTIONED HIS STATUS in 2 Corinthians 11:23-25.
REJOICE BECAUSE YOU REPRESENTED HIM
YES, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST YOU SHOULD
REJOICE, CELEBRATE, BE HAPPY, BE JOYFUL
YOU SHOULD CHEER AND BE MERRY AND WORSHIP HIM
THERE ISN’T ANYTHING WRONG WITH
REJOICING BECAUSE YOU GAVE THE RIGHT RESPONSE
REJOICING BECAUSE OF THE REVEALING OF THE WORD
BUT HERE THE DISCIPLES WERE PUT IN PRISON, PLOTTED AGAINST, AND WERE PADDLED LIKE BAD CHILDREN BUT WHAT GOT THEM EXCITED IS WHY.
THEY CELEBRATED BECAUSE THEY WERE CONSIDERED IN THE SAME COMPANY WITH CHRIST
REJOICED BECAUSE THEY WERE RESISTED/RIDICULED LIKE HIM
DELIGHTED BECAUSE THEY WERE DISHONORED LIKE CHRIST
JUBILATED BECAUSE THEY WERE JABBED LIKE CHRIST
HAPPY BECAUSE THEY WERE HUMILIATED LIKE CHRIST
CHEERED BECAUSE THEY WERE CONFINED LIKE CHRIST
WORSHIPPED BECAUSE THEY WERE WHUPPED LIKE CHRIST
MERRY BECAUSE THEY WERE MISTREATED LIKE CHRIST
