12/11/23 Trial and terror. Acts CHP 21-26
Gist: Gospel preach when open door,(opportunist) rely on Holy spirit what to deliver. There’s be opposition, Holy spirit on trial not u, walk with the Him, Holy spirit. Take courage. Remember to walk with God, knows his heart, his faithfulness.
1) Stuff happens
2) Paul goes to trial 5x
3) Trial gets adjourned
**************************
Teaching — Opposition
Trouble — Overture
Trial — Opportunity (Paul
Always look out for opportunity)
If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you ... 20Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. John 15
Speak the truth in love (soak in love)
Christian Don’t be “annoying but ANOINTING”
**************************
How far would you go to be Christlike?
I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.”
JOHN 16
1“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.” THEY DONT KNOW GOD, HIS HEART. Vengeance belongs to God. QUES: Do u know the FATHER’S HEART ??
THE CHRISTIAN VERSION OF ‘KILLING IN THE NAME OF GOD’
(KILL=DIE TO SELF)
34“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.”
MARK 8
**************************
Opportunity for what? (GOSPEL! WE R GIVEN Holy spirit
• Testify about Jesus Christ, crucified, resurrected, Israel’s messiah and Saviour of the world
• Be sent as far as possible (Rome)so that this gospel can reach farther
*************************
11And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, 12for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
LUKE 12
Sadducee older establishment, temple worship, x resurrection
Pharisee younger, holiness
**************************
DEPEND ON SITUATION FOF GOSPEL
Sensitivity to the nudging of the holy spirit
Rely on the power of the Holy spirit
26“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
Who is on trial here?
WHO IS ON TRIAL, ITS ACTUALLY THE Holy spirit ON TRIAL
Why is Paul so opportunistic?
DRIVEN BY PURPOSE
**************************
Take courage
In him, there’s peace!
World wants us to take side.
Take side of self control faithfulness etc
Take difference side, to love ❤️
