Growing Vision

| Acts 10:1-48 | Acts 11:14, 18 | Jeremiah 29:10-14 | 1 Peter 4:1-6 |

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort, 2 a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God. 3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him, “Cornelius.” 4 And he stared at him in terror and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter.

Acts 10:1-5 (ESV)
  1. A Growing Vision for your Family
  2. A Growing Vision for the Nations
  3. A Growing Vision for Individual People
  4. A Growing Vision for the Church

While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. 45 And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles.

Acts 10:44-46 (ESV)

SPEAKER: Pastor John Wilkie, Elder

You Will Receive Power

| Acts 1:8; Acts 6:1-15; Acts 7:1-60 |

Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. 2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit

Acts 6:1-5 (ESV)
  1. Complaints of the Widows
  2. Administration of the Church
  3. Steven’s Defense of the Gospel
  4. Steven’s Death and the Spread of the Gospel

And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” 57 But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together at him. 58 Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

In the Shadow of the Almighty

June 27, 2021 by Guest Speaker

This sermon is part 4 of 11 in the Ready, Set, Grow! 2021

DIGITAL BULLETIN 27 June 2021

Week 4 – Ready, Set, Grow!

“Ready, Set, Grow! is a new series starting in June and going through Summer. We will study the growth moments in Acts.

In this message, we learn how Peter’s shadow in Acts 5 is a type or picture of the shadow of Almighty God, the result of the abiding presence of God available to all believers who reverently honor Jesus as Lord, and let the light of His love shine upon others.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

In the Shadow of the Almighty

| Acts 5 | Acts 1-4; 1 Peter 2:9; Acts 5:11; Psalm 91:1-2, 14; and 1 Peter 3:15 |

GUEST SPEAKER: Gerry Cox, Missionary Associate, Family Circus Children’s Ministry, Philippines

Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

Acts 5:14-15 (ESV)

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

See and Hear

| Acts 3 & 4 |

Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. 3 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. 4 And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” 5 And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” 7 And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8 And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

Acts 3:1-8 (ESV)

What did they See and Hear?

  1. The Lame Man
  2. The People
  3. The Jewish Leaders
  4. Peter & John
  5. You

On the next day their rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem, 6 with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, “By what power or by what name did you do this?” 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, 9 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, 10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. 11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
