What do Spirit-filled people do? Early in Dr. Luke’s record of the seedling Christian church he recorded the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise to send the Holy Spirit. But then what? What happens next? Spirit-filled flapping of arms and fainting from being overcome by the presence of God? No. Here’s how “spiritual” people became when the Holy Spirit filled them: they hung out together. There’s more, of course, but people who are filled with the Spirit look for reasons and find ways to be together…like you…like right now…together.
From Series: "Acts (2020)"
Every book of the Bible is about Jesus. Although some Bibles title the fifth book of the New Testament “The Acts of the Apostles,” it’s still about Jesus. We’re not going to study it as just scholars, but we’re going to study it also as soldiers. Scholars and soldiers tend to be the ones who study history the most. Scholars tend to look at what people used to do; soldiers tend to look for what remains to be done. One is for information, the other is for mission. We will study the Book of Acts for both.
