Pentecost 2019

Acts 2:1–3:1 NKJV

1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” 12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?” 13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.” 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. 21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.’ 22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—23 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him: ‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken. 26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope. 27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. 28 You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’ 29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. 34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, 35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’ 36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” 37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” 38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” 40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” 41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. 1 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

Acts 1:4–8 NKJV

4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains 67.1 καιρός, οῦ; χρόνος, ου; ὥρα, ας

67.1 καιρόςa, οῦ m; χρόνοςb, ου m; ὥραa, ας f: points of time consisting of occasions for particular events—‘time, occasion.’

καιρόςa: καὶ ἐν καιρῷ τοῦ θερισμοῦ ἐρῶ τοῖς θερισταῖς ‘and when the time of the harvest comes, I will say to the reapers’ Mt 13:30.

χρόνοςb: καθὼς δὲ ἤγγιζεν ὁ χρόνος τῆς ἐπαγγελίας ἧς ὡμολόγησεν ὁ θεός ‘and when the time drew near for God to keep his promise’ Ac 7:17.

ὥραa: ἤγγικεν ἡ ὥρα καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται ‘the time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over’ Mt 26:45.

In a number of languages there is no general term for ‘time’ or ‘occasion.’ In some contexts it is simply not necessary to have such a term. For example, in rendering Mt 13:30 one may translate ‘when the harvest comes, I will say to the reapers’ or ‘when people begin to harvest, I will say to the reapers.’ In other contexts, a term which normally refers to some unit is employed in a generic sense, as in the case of Greek ὥρα which means literally ‘hour’ but is frequently used as a generic expression for a point of time, as in Mt 8:13. In Ac 7:17 χρόνος may often be rendered by a generic expression such as ‘day,’ for example, ‘when it was almost the day for God to keep his promise.’ In the case of Mt 26:45, the nearness of the time may be indicated as ‘very soon the Son of Man will be handed over.’

Though it seems quite ordinary in English for one to speak of ‘time coming’ or ‘… drawing near,’ this type of figurative usage is impossible in many languages. The equivalent may be simply ‘will soon be’ or ‘is about to happen.’ The expression οὔπω ἥκει ἡ ὥρα μου (literally ‘my time has not yet come’) in Jn 2:4 denotes that it is not yet the occasion for a particular event (see καιρός in Jn 7:8 and compare Jn 7:10) but that it will soon be. In these contexts the expression may be rendered as ‘there is still time’ or ‘I will soon do it.’ In Jn 7:30 and 8:20 (οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ ‘his time has not yet come’) the reference is to the occasion of his eventual arrest, implying that it will indeed happen

8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon 3661 ὁμοθυμαδόν

3661 ὁμοθυμαδόν [homothumadon /hom·oth·oo·mad·on/] adv. From a compound of the base of 3674 and 2372; TDNT 5:185; TDNTA 684; GK 3924; 12 occurrences; AV translates as “with one accord” 11 times, and “with one mind” once. 1 with one mind, with one accord, with one passion. Additional Information: A unique Greek word, used 10 of its 12 New Testament occurrences in the Book of Acts, helps us understand the uniqueness of the Christian community. Homothumadon is a compound of two words meaning to “rush along” and “in unison”. The image is almost musical; a number of notes are sounded which, while different, harmonise in pitch and tone. As the instruments of a great concert under the direction of a concert master, so the Holy Spirit blends together the lives of members of Christ’s church.

in todays Post modern Church, to say that there is one way to God. and that way is Jesus Christ.

Post Modernism is the reaction to modernism which was science and technology, Reason, or Philosophy will be able to solve everything.

we live in one of the most individualistic times in history.

the Christian church has no influence, is no longer the primary influence of the culture.

We need the Holy Spirit to exhibit God’s love to a lost dying and in a hurry to get to hell world.

1 John 4:7–11 NKJV

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

11

Jesus during the Passover season. a season that celebrates the deliverance of the children of Isreal From Egypt. it is at the time of this celebration that Jesus was dying so that we could be freed from the power of sin and death. Gentiles don’t get that automatically, but Hebrews do,

The feast of Pentecost is thanking God for the harvest. while it is a feast of thanksgiving to God for financial blessing.

Matthew 9:35–38 NKJV

35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

The Church is about to receive a massive influx of people into the family of God. (Three thousand souls are going to be added to them).

Jesus Calls His First Disciples

Matthew 4:18–22 NKJV

18 And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him. 21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

As believers in Jesus we should have a burden for the lost.

far too many believers are consumers of religious activity with out a graditude for there own salvation or a passion for the salvation of others.

we will never see pentecostal power without pentecostal passion.

we will never see pentecostal power with out pentecostal preperation.

if all of our commitment to church comes out of what i get then I have missed half the Gospel.

21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

if I am not giving i am not growing.

Giving of my time.

Giving of my talent.

Giving of my treasure.

Giving of my Testimony.

we have a responsibility for our city. @ the rock we are starting with the neighborhood and working out from there.

Psalm 133 NKJV

A Song of Ascents. Of David. 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing— Life forevermore.

Pentecost 2019

Times: Khronos- where we get the word “Chronological”

Seasons Kairos “seasons”

One Accord

1. The Power of Pentecost is the Power of being a witness For Christ.

2. I am amazed in how God uses our “Times” for His “Seasons”

3. Unity of the Church is not a cute ideal, it is essential, To the Full power of the Holy Spirit Moving in our world.
