Times of refreshing are coming. Restoration is coming. Jesus is coming! It all hinges on the response of the Jews to their true King. But Gentiles won't be left out. These are some of the key points of Peter's sermon in Acts 3. For being only his second time in the pulpit, so to speak, he's crushing it! His message is woven tightly with scripture, and extremely relevant.

Even the Disciples couldn't connect the prophetic dots - until the Holy Spirit came. Many of the revelations of Scripture were opaque to Israel, not to mention outsiders. As J.B. Phillips translates, " ...the unspiritual man simply cannot accept the matters which the Spirit deals with - they just don’t make sense to him, for, after all, you must be spiritual to see spiritual things." A lame man had walked. Now Peter was aiming for another miracle: opened eyes. Jim's at Acts 3:18.

There's a lot to know about ignorance. There are different kinds of ignorance, as well as different levels. Before the Fall, Adam and Eve were unaware that they were naked. We can't fault them for their innocence. Another type of ignorance is our natural state of existence in this universe; we just don't know much about it, or even about ourselves. Then there's willful ignorance - the shutting of the eyes, the stopping of the ears to the truth. But there's a kind of darkness beyond that. Peter applies it to his audience in Acts, chapter 3. Here's Jim with Part 1 of a message called, Peter's Sermon.

You can fulfill the will of God, or you can fulfill the will of God! After the miraculous healing of the lame man at the Temple, Peter offered his second sermon. He surely wasn't intending to give a theological treatise on election and free will - that's a bonus for us. His purpose was to warn and invite people who may have heard Jesus teach; people who may have shouted, "Crucify Him!"

"Don't look at me!" When something extraordinary happens - bad, or good - we start looking around for the cause. Who was closest when it happened? When a 40-year-old man, lame since birth began to walk around, all eyes turned to Simon. Yes, Peter had commanded the man to "rise and walk;" yes, he had lifted him to his feet, but as for the rest... well, that was Someone else.

God gives better than we ask. Thanks for taking time on Independence Day to focus with us on a different political structure: the Kingdom of God. The lame beggar in Acts, chapter 3 was asking for money, hoping for money, expecting money. But he would get a far greater gift, "exceeding abundantly above all he could ask or think." True, he might have dared to ask for such a miracle from Jesus, but Jesus was dead. Wasn't He? Here's Jim to open his sermon, Giving, Growing, Healing.

After belief and baptism...comes brotherhood! We've been studying Acts, chapter 2, and the miracle of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit. Then there was another miracle: 3,000 were born again. But that was only the beginning! In those new believers, God worked a sort of ongoing, living miracle: they were united. In later times, some people have tried to engineer this depth of fellowship... but the causes of their koinonia are right there in the text. Jim will help us discover them now.

When you catch fish, you take them out of the water. When you catch people... The Lord had said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Now, Peter was about to make a catch of 3,000 people - not taken out of the water, but put in the water! Two Christian baptisms - water and Spirit - are on display in Acts 2. And both are necessary. You may remember that our investigation into the Kingdom of God was prompted by a book by Dr. Alva J. McClain.

"Sit back and put your feet up!" When our work is done it's nice to grab a drink and relax in our favorite chair. It's a picture of rest, accomplishment, and satisfaction. That's an image that David gave us of the Messiah. He's seated in the place of honor, "taking it easy," as we might say, and now the Father has something to do: He's going to provide a footrest. Jim will get us started with prayer, then we'll hear Part 1 of his sermon, Pentecost Did Not Establish the Kingdom.

We don't talk enough about the Exaltation. The Crucifixion, the Resurrection, the Ascension - you probably know exactly what I mean by those words, and you can give me details of the events. But what happens at Pentecost is the result of the Exaltation of Christ. If the Holy Spirit has come, as the Lord said He would, it's because He has been "poured out" by Jesus, from the place of honor at "the right hand of the Father." We're ready for Part 3 of Jim's sermon, God's Passion for the World.
