Sermon Tone Analysis

Scripture

The Church at Pentecost displayed some tremendous results as believers were led by the power of Spirit and the power of the Word of God and as they fellowshipped together, each one doing their part as the Body of Christ: It was a Miraculous church because god enabled the apostles to perform many wonders and signs, many miracles.

Miracles occurred in three brief periods of Bible history: During the days of Moses and Joshua, during the ministries of Elijah and Elisha and during the time of Christ and the apostles.

In John 14:11: Jesus said, "Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.”

The miracles that Jesus performed proved that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah from Heaven.

The apostles were given power to do miracles in order to confirm that the Word, the GOSPEL they preached, was also from Jesus the Messiah.

Every believer has experienced at least one miracle, the miracle of regeneration, of new birth.

Every believer at one time HEARD the WORD of God, turned from unbelief to the only Savior from sin and death, the Lord Jesus Christ.

You received the miracle of FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ and He changed your life.

Breaking bread:

Prayer:

We are not strangers or foreigners, we are His house, His church, His body and God as called us together as a community with a purpose.

Before God created you in your mother’s womb, He had a plan and a purpose for you.

Your purpose as a disciple of Jesus is to love God and serve Him and also to love and serve others.

We are to proclaim that Jesus is Lord, to learn more about Him and to lead others to Him.

The early church we’ve been focusing on in the book of Acts was a great church because it had focus.

It knew that it should be doing something and knew what that something was.

It had experienced the life changing power of Jesus and had also caught a vision of how that same power could change the lives of people they knew.

And they were doing something about it.

It has been said that there are three kinds of people:

those who watch what happens;

those who make it happen;

and those who wonder what happened.

These Christians were making things happen.

One of the first things we notice is that God was at work.

Closings

Listen to what the people of Thessaloncia said when Christianity was introduced to them.

“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.”Acts

17:6b NKJV

This was not a compliment.

This was an accusation, it was criticism.

The Christian message was upsetting the normal.

They were changing the way people looked at religion.

They were changing the way people looked at God.

They were changing the way people looked at politics.

They were changing the way people looked at worship.

They were changing the way people looked at personal relationships.

They were turning the world upside down and in turning the world upside down they were actually making it right side up.

The first church was attempting to bring the world back to the place God desired the world to be since the time of Adam and Eve.

Today the church has a greater opportunity to reach more people for Christ than at any time in history.
