Series: The Book of Acts
Sermon Title: Anyone can Preach!
Topic: Journey through the book of Acts.
Key Passages: Acts 2: 14-47
Sermon Blurb: In this message, we see a guy, Peter, who messed up SO many times in following Jesus.
A guy who put his foot in his mouth more than once.
Peter stands up and delivers a message through God’s power and the response is beyond what anyone could imagine!
Sermon:
Family Moment
Welcome back to week #4 in our series called simply The book of Acts!
We are on a journey through the book of Acts!
If you are new, or newer to Family Church, we are so happy you are here, and let me catch you up so you do not feel like an outsider.
Because no one likes feeling like an outsider!
Three weeks ago, we opened up the book of Acts with Dr. Luke telling us why he wrote the book of Acts.
And we gave an overview of where we are going.
Then two weeks ago we talked about the start of the church and how women had a great impact on that.
Then last week we talked about an event called “Pentecost” when the Holy Spirit or God’s Spirit came down and empowered this early church of 120 people to live out the ministry Jesus was calling them to.
And we ended that message with something I said is kind of funny.
And we have to pickup there again because then I will show you how our sermon title which is “Anyone can Preach” is true.
PAUSE
So grab your Bible and open it up to Acts chapter 2.
Acts 2: 14-47 14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say.
15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose.
It’s only nine in the morning!
Let’s pause there because I want us all to keep in context with what comes next!!!!
So Peter stands up to explain what is going on.
Peter….not
any of the other closest friends of Jesus.
Not even John so said he was Jesus favorite in his book!
Peter…..
And that is why this sermon is titled ANYONE can Preach!
I know there are plenty of you in this room who would say to me, “I could never preach or teach.”
Well……if Peter can….so can you!
Peter is the guy who was so impulsive that he chopped people’s ears off with swords…..
I will go out a limb today….and
guess no one here has done that?
Anyone?????
Peter was the guy who denied being connected to Jesus in ANY way multiple times…
I am going to go out on a limb and guess most of us have not done that or if we did…we felt bad and didn’t do it again.
Peter was a guy who Jesus called Satan at one point!
I will go out a limb yet again….and
guess no one here has been called Satan by Jesus…
Peter was corrected by Jesus on more than one occasion!
Do you see it church?
If God can work through someone like Peter….
God can work through you!
So write this down….
God can work through me!
Repeat
If you want to write your name in the blank instead of me….go for it!
PAUSE
To keep painting this picture of how Peter and the people are looked at by the community……
Look at what Peter says……Look at verse 15.
We are not drunk people!
The people think so LITTLE of Peter and the early church they think of them as nothing more than the village drunk.
PAUSE
AND GOD WORKS THROUGH PETER!!!
Hear me in this everyone here today.
It does NOT matter what the other kids at school say about you.
It does NOT matter what your co-workers say behind your back.
It does NOT matter how much your boss has yelled at you.
It does NOT matter how much your spouse has put you down.
It does NOT matter if your professor has said you’ll never pass this!
It does NOT matter what OTHERS say about us.
PAUSE
What matters is what God says about us.
What matters is what God has called us to do.
What matters is living our life for Jesus…..
Because when we do that…..the impossible happens!
And you are going to see that today!!!!
PAUSE
For you ADD people like me….let me give you one last thing to look up because it will be important soon….
Go back in the book of Acts and look at how big the church is again.
PAUSE
Let’s keep reading…..verse 16
16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 “‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
Stop reading there for now….
Let me show you how ALL of you can preach.
And I am hoping you will see how we live out what I am about to say as a church EVERY week!
PAUSE
Here is what I want you to see…..
What is Peter doing?
What did Peter literally just do…church….and
