Holy Spirit Provides Courage
INTRODUCTION
Stephen before the Sanhedrin - face shone like an angel.
Preached boldly.
"But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God."
The Holy Spirit gives us the courage we need when we are living by faith.
The courage for David to face Goliath
The courage for Elisha to stand firm against the Syrian army with just his servant.
- Horses and chariots of Fire.
The courage for Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to stand up against the most powerful man in the world.
The courage for Paul to face death at every turn.
Holy Spirit is the difference between Apostles of Gospels and Apostles of Acts.
They were told to wait until Spirit came.
4 Areas Holy Spirit Provides Courage
1- Courage to Die (6, 8)
Home in the Body
Home with the Lord
Stephan’s courage in death.
"We would rather"
not just courage to die but a desire for what comes with death.
ILL-- last verse of "Come to Jesus" by Chris Rice
And with your final heartbeat; Kiss the world goodbye; Then go in peace, and laugh on glory's side; And fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and live.
2- Courage to Live (7)
Walk by Faith- while we are in this tent (Jars of clay) we live in faith.
Again "seen and unseen" = temporary, eternal.
Faith when what is in front of you seems impossible.
David and Goliath
Illegal Aliens
3- Courage to Aim (9)
"please him"= righteousness
We can only please God in Christ.
Certain goals seem crazy in this world.
Not every team should have the goal of winning a championship.
Not every person should have a goal of making a perfect score on the ACT.
not everyone has the skills or abilities to do what it takes.
We can have the goal of living a righteous life because we have the Holy Spirit who makes us righteous and works through us to do righteous things.
Who is it you want to please?
ILL-- My Grandfather Beshears--I wanted him to be proud of me.
-- My call to ministry.
I have a greater person I want to please-- My Lord and Savior Jesus.
We can aim to please God because we are made holy in Jesus.
What is impossible in our own power is possible because of what Jesus did for us.
4- Courage to Stand (10)
Judgement Seat of Christ (Bema)
Pilot when Jesus was on trial...
Bema Seat at Corinth=
Tribunal= Bema Seat= Big stone outside of town-- Place of reward after games and judgement of wrong doing.
This is the Judgement Seat of Christ which happens to believers after the resurrection.
3 Judgement After Death
A- Judgement at death
- separation of saved and unsaved
absence of body is present with God
Rich Man and Lazarus-
B= The Judgment Seat of Christ
After the resurrection
His 2nd coming is not judgment of sin.
For believers only.
C= Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20)
After 1000 year reign of Christ
Everyone who ever lived.
Judgement of works
Also- a judgement of separation for those not in Lamb's Book of Life.
Thrown into the Lake of Fire
Here in 2 Corinthians - Judgement Seat— Judgment of good works.
"whether good or bad."= eternal or temporary
Our works are judged because we are stewards.
We have been entrusted with a great responsibility.
We must live out the Great Commission.
CONCLUSION
Do you face coming judgement with courage?
We cannot stand before the judgement seat in our own righteousness.
Do you live courageous because you have been made righteousness through Jesus Christ?
