Pentecost 2

The Spirit didn't come to the Inner Court; He came to the Upper Room. In our quest to know "What Happened to the Kingdom?" we've come to Acts 2, where we'll find a key piece of evidence. Today Jim will talk about something that often gets overlooked about Pentecost: the location. It turns out that Jesus wasn't overstating it when He said, "Your house is left to you desolate." After the Ascension, God continued to bypass the center of Jewish worship and identity.

Pentecost

"This is that!" Peter said. But what is "that?" Pentecost is like the "big bang" of the Church, if you'll pardon the analogy. It's a flash of light so brilliant that we can be blinded to things before it and around it. When Peter explained, "This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel," he was helping us see the context, and he was setting expectations for what could happen next. Jim will pray, to open this sermon. It continues our investigation into What Happened to the Kingdom?

I'm Here, I'm With You

After His resurrection, Jesus would sometimes "pop in" on His disciples - literally. The Lord's followers had to find a whole new way to relate to Him. They were used to Him being present 24 hours a day. Now, He would just "appear" when they didn't expect it; and often they didn't recognize Him when He did show up. And then He would disappear. These 40 days were a weird time to be an Apostle. Let's think about it with Jim, as we continue to seek answers to the question, What Happened to the Kingdom?

The Person And Work Of Jesus

Couldn't we say that Jesus is "working from home?" In our study of the Kingdom we've seen the Jews' rejection of the King, and how that decision postponed the physical rule of Messiah on earth. And we believe that Christ is coming back to reign. But in the meantime... are we just waiting? Dr. Luke says "No." Though the Lord left the planet, He is not idle. And the book of Acts reveals some of His ongoing work. Here's Jim to open a sermon on, The Person and Work of Jesus.

His Hour Had Come

The Cross isn't just about you! We see Jesus' sacrifice through the lens of our own abject need. Even our phrase "personal Savior" can sound a little possessive. "If you had been the only one," we say, "Christ would have died just for you." Well, maybe. But there was more at stake on that hill outside Jerusalem. This was a battle for the Kingdom.

God Lives In The Believer

Sometimes a fig tree is just a fig tree. We'll get two subjects for the price of one, today! The title of the sermon is, God Lives in the Believer, and Jim will take us to the Upper Room, to consider the promises that Jesus made to us there. But first, as a follow-up to our previous lesson from Matthew 24: What about the notion that the "fig tree" represents Israel? Is the Jewish homecoming a marker for Christ's return? Both topics will help us answer the question, What Happened to the Kingdom?

What Are The Signs?

Some Disciples asked Jesus about signs of what's coming. He gave them more than that! The Lord had just prophesied the destruction of the Temple, implying the downfall of Jerusalem. So they had asked Him about those things. But His answer seems much deeper. They wanted to know about signs; the Lord started by giving them some things that aren't signs: False messiahs, persecution of Christians, wars, uprisings. Our "Kingdom" series continues with Jim's sermon, What Are the Signs?

Who Is In The Kingdom?

Does your Jesus have claws? The Jesus found in the public spaces of Jerusalem in the week before His death was not the greeting-card version. He was shredding Israel's arrogant leaders - utterly humiliating them in full view of the people they wanted to impress. Christ saw right through them, and He revealed the ugliness He saw. In this series we've been asking What Happened to the Kingdom, and to that discussion Jim will add a critically important question: Who is In the Kingdom?

Knowing About The Kingdom

God's Kingdom, as it used to be. Our study of the Kingdom of Heaven needs a historical foundation. In the future, there's the Millennial Kingdom - we understand that. In the present... it's complicated. But we should be able to look to the past to see what God's rule looks like, and what happened. And "what happened" wasn't all Adam's fault - nor Eve's. That's what we'll look at, today. Pastor Jim's new sermon is called, Knowing About the Kingdom.

The Constitution Of The Kingdom

If you want to know what the Kingdom of God looks like, read the Sermon on the Mount. Many people twist their theology into a pretzel by misapplying quotes from the Sermon on the Mount. Keep in mind that Jesus isn't erasing any divine commandments... nor is He adding any. He says that quite plainly. So if the Lord's discourse written down in Matthew 5, 6 and 7 isn't a new moral theory, what is it? In his new sermon Jim will call it,The Constitution of the Kingdom. Let's listen.
