Pentecost -The New Church, Tongues, Outpouring: Peter's Address: Men!

UK. Well, let's go ahead and bow our heads in prayer opportunity for Rebound. If you've been stressed out by all this, just go ahead and confess it to the Lord. We have the authority of the Holy Spirit to rely upon as we move forward with the study of his word.

God is spirit and those who worship Him must Worship in spirit and Truth for. We are the true circumcision who Worship in the spirit of God and glory in the Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh. There only father, we recognize that this is your work, this is your ministry. This is your time, their ass is the provisional gracious opportunity. You have given to us that we might be your sheep. That you might be our Shepherd before we come to study your word that we might be Grazie from that which you would feed us with the truth of your word. Pray that we would be edified. We would find ourselves changed in our thinking. We find ourselves conformed Lord as you do the transformation within us and we thank you for the opportunity to confess known sin. And I thank you for the opportunity to really father to completely rely upon your provision, even through technical difficulties and glitches. Lord, it is you who are the true Shepherd here. So we thank you and we look forward to your words insights we pray that's in Christ Jesus name. Amen.

Will last week. We found ourselves as we're working our way through an examination of Joel chapter to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and making sure that we are rightly dividing and properly understanding what this outpouring of the holy spirit is about what is up with the speaking in tongues, how can we have these different iterations of the outpouring, or the filling of a holy spirit throughout the Book of Acts and we've garnered to come up with a few items. We need to hold in mind as we worked our way through the book, a back. Number one, there's a difference in the in filling and that word and there are different Greek words behind it. So we taking time to study both pimp play me and plural him play. We have found, is that feeling of the spirit, that is like that coming up on in the Old Testament times when the Holy Spirit, would come upon a profit for someone who is telling forth the word of God and they are empowered by the Holy Spirit and they speak that with the mine. If you would hand upon them at that time as they're speaking. And so when we see pimp play me in the New Testament, it's that same type of film shoots that same type of what we might call us. Some of the old timer timers call and unction. That is the moving that is coordinated with moving within you. God, moves upon you that you might move in. The purpose. Is oral spoken, Proclamation. So everytime we say, You can play me in Luke's riding and throughout the New Testament. What we see is the holy spirit, providing for verbal Declaration of God's truth every single time. Okay. Way it. So it can be used in a way that means, just to fill to fill up, the gas tank to fill up, the Fishbowl to fill up the coffee pot for you. Rabid coffee drinkers. So, what it does mean is to bring all the way up to the top, but when we're talking about filling of the holy spirit, it's always is a reference to an empowerment for speaking 4th. Okay. So we have a definite usage. That is there. Then we have plural p l e r o o. M floor is all so it can mean that filling up to the top, like a fish bowl in the gas tank or your coffee pot, or whatever. You may have, the need to fill to the top, and it's a different word, but we have plural used for in, about the spiritual life. So in a fusions 518, when it says, do not be drunk with wine, but rather, or instead be filled, and then it says, by means of the Holy Spirit, doesn't say with the Holy Spirit, which is what many of our translation say, it's what we've learned to say, but it's actually not accurate. That's not Are you a text that says be filled by means of the spirit. So the idea here is not that the holy spirit is filling us with that. The Holy Spirit filling us with something. And when's that feeling with something happens. Then we will be those who will speak forth the proclamations of Joy will speak to one another with songs and hymns. And we will make joyful Melodies in our hearts to the Lord. Will be those who are he continues on and give this all the things that will happen. If you're filled by means of the Holy Spirit, including husband's loving wives was being submissive, or reflective to their husbands and children obeying parents parents, not being parents over their children Masters, not the entire rents over their slaves or servants and vice-versa of the servants, not being disobedient, Unfaithful, servants over their masters and continues on. We have an exact parallel passage over in Colossians that says that we are to be filled with This time that says the word of God. Let the word dwell within you feeling, you, and Compazine your soul and it gives the exact same list of things. Same author, Paul, in both cases, talking about the same subject in both cases. Then one, he says that the holy spirit will fill us We are to be filled the role by means of the spirit. And in Colossians, we are told that we are to be filled with the word of God and then the whole same list in both cases, one-to-one correspondence, slightly different, slightly, different change, and how long in the fusions he goes, longer than what it means to be married married. What it means to be submitted one to another, and that concept he gets into the idea of the total Union is reflective of the Union of the believer with Christ that we are joined together in a way that can never be separated. One of the reasons that.

There's really no difference in United States between the divorce situation for Christians. And for non-Christian, this is one-to-one correspondence. How's the needle is moved over the years, we went from, 20% of all marriages, ending in divorce to 40% of all marriages. Ending in divorce to 60% of all marriages ending in divorce, there has been no difference between the church and the rest of society, really do we have a, what do you want to call at 8, they frog in the hot water type of situation as the culture has changed. So too, has a situation with the church. The church has not been wise. People have not been submitted to the word of God. They have not been inculcated with Biblical Truth, The overriding Guiding Direction in their life is not been Christ, scripture. The teachings of the word of God. It's been their culture. We can see it in the numbers. It's very clear, but there is to be a difference. We should understand what that difference is. I'm part of the reason that it's important not to put blame or cast aspersions on anyone, there's no reason to have a guilt trip. If you have made mistakes, if you have been divorced and remarried etcetera, despite the clarity, the scripture brings to it. What we need understand is this. Scripture is portraying the reality that the believer can never ever be separated from Christ. Once we are married to Christ. We Are Forever. He is insufferable. There is no dorton divorced. That is possible. Jesus says, divorce is because of the sinfulness of man's heart, it is not because God wants it, but because man is sinful and so God has allowed Ritz of divorce under certain circumstances and then we see even in the time of Christ, but the circumstances are twisted and distorted so that the Sadducees and Pharisees have vastly different ideas about why, and how you can be divorced. The Pharisees have two, vastly different systems within pharisaism of how and why you can be divorced and came down to even at that time. I'm at the time of Christ. If the husband did not like his wife, you can divorce her That's not even a recent biblical or excuse me. A reason in American law until the last couple of decades. You had to have a reason to get divorced but not anymore. Now, you can just go in and file papers for divorce and no reason is required anymore. You don't have to look at each other. so,

Divorce, really? I just bring it up because we have a picture of Christ and divorced distorts the picture and the reality that we are wed to Christ and we are forever. Is so how about no matter what you've been through? Jesus Christ, is your true husband men, take it as an allegorical concept here. Jesus Christ. Is your husband mine. Let's take it that way. He is the tender of your soul is the initiator of Truth and Love in Your being. He is The Giver of the word. He was a shepherd of your being here is the provider of the grace means whereby you can be a leader than your home. 2. We're studying through the fee Acts chapter 2. And last week we went back to Joel chapter 2 because after this outpouring know, all these things that happened and part of my reason, for going through the list of things that we've been going over is to make this point, I'm trying to equip you with an understanding of a lot of the presuppositions, the people have gotten from the culture around them, including the Christian culture of evangelicalism and Kara's Madison and Pentecostalism in all these influences, you may or may not know that you have My great-grandfather was a lay preacher, never met the guy. He was dead long before I came along, but he laid hands on my father and prayed for him and for his family and he was, I think wanting my father to end up being a preacher will, my dad didn't become a Believer until after. I was born, never became a pastor or a preacher, but he became a deep deep lover of God and of the word of God and the things of God. We don't understand sometimes how great grandpa are being a Pentecostal oriented preacher might have it. In fact, on little things along the way, presuppositions we bring, and then we read it into scripture, thinking we're understanding scripture when we're doing is we're laying a false reading on top of a true, understanding the scripture. So part of my going through the history of the charismatic and Pentecostal stuff has been so that you have a little inside of it but there's much much more if you want to dig into it. But I want everyone to have a little insight as to where these ideas came from, how they began to influence our culture and how I started distorting people's understanding of the text. So that's why we went there last week we got into Joel chapter 2. The reason we did it because Peter Swans. The People speaking in tongues and everyone in Jerusalem saying, what are these crazy people in a bit? The new wine. I mean something is not right here because but when we hear them in our own language is, but then other people said, yeah, they're just drinking too much wine, and Peter got up and he made a bold declaration and he says, Hey pay attention guys. Here's the truth, here's the Crux of the matter. He says this that you're hearing these speaking, another language is like Flume, say it is, it is like Joel Anthony quotes versus out of Joel. So we spent our time last week going through Joel

Going through Joel and showing the progression of what is happening in the Book of Joel. And what we see is that there is a wrong Behavior, being cited by Joel of Israel. And as a result of that long Behavior, there is a discipline that comes to Israel. But then he comes to a point where he says that he uses that Hebrew word, shubh shub. And if you didn't get it last week and we'll go back and listen to, it should be up there shortly. But shoes, as we analyzed and we went through that process means to reorient yourself. Two, we could use the word repent for really, a means to change your thinking to do a turnaround concerning your relationship, with God, come back to God, he said if you should then there becomes an outpouring of all of these blessings he's become. So the old Covenant that we have the Mosaic coming up here, Brandon Covenant, the davidic Covenant, all of them, make reference to if you do this then this, but if you do this then this is Israel was unfaithful to God as they turned their back on God. I'm as they went after other Idols instead of God that God placed a judgment upon them. But the text and the point of Joel is Turn their back on the idols and come back to the true and living God. Then at that point having shubh shub there will be pouring of blessing. What is this mean? That's exactly what Peter is talking about here in our passage in Acts chapter 2. If you shoe he says this is like Joel in the point of Joel is if you shoe there will be outpourings of blood. So you're what is there for this modern crowd in Jerusalem to shoob about

Play artist shubha about what they think about the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua, Jesus. Okay in the Messiah, the machine is there in their midst. He came for them as their key and they rejected him and Peter is proclaiming this is like Joel if you shoe there will be blessings. Okay last week.

Now, let's move forward with today. We're in our analysis of Pentecost. This is joined together with our understanding of where are the church King from there for how the church is to function. Therefore that will inform us as to how this church WIll function, how this church is to function in a biblical sense. Not something we make up out of a charter for a constitutional ideas of how we should function here. Is the biblical understanding of how we function, the purpose of our Charter, really? It's for the weekend, play something in front of the state of Oregon and say this is our bylaws. This is how we advised them. This is how we keep them. This is why we get to be recognized as a not-for-profit organization, therefore, we don't have to pay property tax on the property etcetera. Etcetera etcetera gives a certain Grace is at the Lord. Is provided in our society but also gives us some ways to deal with conflicts in the congregation that they arise and stuff like that. But the real issue is what does Scripture say how is the church to perform and behave as based upon scripture? That's what we're studying. So we're looking into the issue of tongs and helper in the spirit, which is all part of this. New church rising up making sure we rightly understand it. So tongs, or what, anybody

Poems are Love Languages. Yes. And what did they mean to the people of Israel? Having Gentile tongues spoken there in the capital? It is a sign of judgment upon the nation because they have rejected Christ. They're just she just threw up machine has been rejected as their has the Lord as their Messiah there for the nation, stands judged. Therefore we're going to see the destruction of Israel in ad70 so just for some little less than 40 years. Later we have the full destruction of Israel, okay?

You're the man, we have Peter's Proclamation then is this is like Joel with the emphasis of shoe and I want to go here.

Man.

You see, it will go back a couple of verses and then we'll pop up to where we are. Starting the next 2:5 we read the following. And there were dwelling in Jerusalem, Jews devout men from every nation under heaven. No, no. First of all, that it does not hearsay. The valence anthropos, which is one of the Greek words that could be used here. Answer pause is the generic term for human beings for people, but instead inspired by the Holy Spirit and with direct purpose, Luke is saying Marin there were dwelling in Jerusalem, man, guys. Now, keep in mind that this is Pentecost. This is the Feast of Shavuot is one of the three festivals, where everyone in. Every man, I should say of Israel is mandated to attend the festival 3 Festival. They have to attend, and this is one of them. So, there is a distinct Ephesus on male attendants, but as in dire need Our visiting. It is an expression here of the Divine institutions, established by God for the protection and preservation of humanity. Mel, as a society, we neglect this to our own distraction for distinction. We are neglecting us to our own.

Extinction, I would say. Now, the Divine institutions are those principles established by God consistent throughout scripture, they always stand and they are for the protection of humanity and they are invariably woven into the fabric of how God designed been the first to mine institution. We have is Felician. That is, Every Man Has a free-will, someone's telling you all were all predestined, just turn and walk away. You don't have to ring go with them, you don't have to try to argue with them. We will probably get to dealing with a little bit of the foreknowledge of God election in predestination towards the end of our teaching today. But the main thing to be aware of is it if we have over and over and over throughout scripture God saying, do this, do that, do this, do that, and he's putting it in the imperative, which is a command saying, you are To do this. That means that we must have been a Freewheel that says, yes, I can do that or yes, I won't do that yes or no. My volition chooses. Am I to do it? My to be positive. We use the terminology. Positively to do what God has asked for commended me for my going to do. Choose not to do what God has commanded me. Some pollution is the first Divine institution established and that is imperative. One of the reasons we are opposed to Communism. Opposed to socialism is because they are designed to attack and Destroy Divine institution. Number one, the freedom of will capitalism is a institution of making choices that is compatible with God's design. And so we have a whole generation of people who are being taught to socialism is good. Even communism is okay, and capitalism is bad and they pull out all of these communist. Griven ideologies and reasons to say that and so people are learning we are not supposed to have a free will and a free choice. The government should be making the choices for us. We are not to make them for ourselves. Durations. Now we have 20 some years. people having gone through college, you've been educated with this type of thinking

40s now have been predominantly influence with this type of thinking,

I have become enemies of God's against. God establish that for the protection of mankind. Very important. And then we have a marriage, a man, and a woman joined together institution of God is for the preservation of them tried. Before the protection of the individuals involved in the relationship, then we have the institution of family, family is Growing Up. So within the protection that confined up marriage children are not to be raised outside of wedlock there to be raised inside of wedlock. There is a protection. There is a blessing, there is a huge benefit. We just look at the sociological factors we could even be color blind so it doesn't matter what color you are. The issue is, do you have two parents who are raising you together and the outcome is statistically vastly different from the outcome of single parents now. There are extenuating circumstances. We have loved ones, who died, father's dying, mother's died, but that's not the point. That's not the issue. The issue is when we deliberately stepped aside from God's institution and destroy it, then the boundaries are taking away the protection taken away. The inculcation of God's Viewpoint is taken away, and we have Godless people who are raised up having issues of all times. So we have free will marriage family in the way of local government, which is for the protection of the rights of the family. The marital murder, we joined individuals and the Free Will of everyone. That is the purpose of government. Is that what your government's doing for you?

And then we have our divine institution of Nations.

And nationalism, we find is actually instituted by God, and his purpose by God, who's laid down by God. And one of the purposes is the protection of mankind used it made distinct people groups. Distinct languages. All of this is to protect Government to protect families to protect marriage, has to protect individuals and to protect the free will. So everything, every step along the way operates on Free Will. And the more people choose negative against the design of God, the more those institutions get out of whack. Get destroyed in the consequences just roll out just like sticking your hand in boiling water. Or if you're really bold, do this, boil, some oil, and stick your hand in it. Some of you know what I'm talking about. The damage is markedly greater by sticking your hand and boiled boil. That's why people used to get put in boiled oil as a form of punishment. The penetration of the heat is deeper. The damage is quicker almost instant. Boiled in oil is almost impossible to recover from anything in various levels of depth in your skin is just completely destroyed by it was boiled water. You Mabel's turn around sticking and cold water, put it nice or whatever and you'll recover and maybe not even lose any epidermis in the process. But the invasion into the Divine institutions is like rolling out oil Doyle across. All these different institutions. It is an almost pure reversible, seemingly damage that's gone to a civilization the greatest English happening in our civilization, you may have certain factors. You look at in there, your pet peeve, but be aware the enemy of our souls is opposed to all of the Divine institutions because he doesn't want God's protection to be here for Humanity. He wants all of humanity to turn to him as a leader. I can take care of that, I can change that. I can change the circumstances. Everyone is innately good, but if we just fix the circumstances, it will get better. That's what the Liberals say. Can they eat the conservatives? Because the conservatives say, oh, everyone is innately sinful capable and fully able to be evil. But fixing circumstances is not the right way because that destroys free will. Free Will needs to be available. Then people need to be taught to make Positive Choices instead of negative choices and that's the great battle that we have rolling through our society right now.

So there is an attack going on and right up front. What we see happening here at the rolling, out of the church is that God is doing this to you saying, I'm putting my imprint, my stem on Divine institution as Peter says, or as Luke tells us there are men here in Jerusalem. Now, in terms of the Divine institutions established by God for the protection and preservation of humanity as a society, we neglect these to our own destruction, these orders these Divine institutions are not arbitrary and they're not malleable but have been established by God himself Elohim made Adam first. And then from his side he took the rib and he created Eve. Go to Ephesians 5 reiterates. The man is to be the spiritual head and leader in the marriage and it is the mail. Leader in the home. society and culture at the time of Pentecost, the max Schechter Open quotation here from Doctor, Robert Dean and I wanted to read cuz I just thought he hit it on the head and I don't need to make up a bunch of words. When someone else did it.

He says, because of the residual impact of establishment principles, what I just described and Define for you. Those establishment principles. They really didn't have this concept of single people in the era of the Acts chapter 2, the time of Christ, the time of the Apostles, like they do today. Even if you were a widow and young woman or even a young man, you still live with the family unit. Are with the family and tell her you were prepared to operate out on your own. So the family is seen as the basic unit of society. Not the individual, by the way, a little side note here, one of the good things that seems to have come out of covid in Sweden, had a multiplication of that people living at home with their parents or say all how dysfunctional all these people are living at home with their parents. Good grief, God designed it to be that way in a crisis. People Resort into a Divine institution, principal, Hallelujah, that's a good thing. It's not a bad thing, don't believe these commenters. He's talking heads on TV. When Peter still ends up on the day of Pentecost and faces the crowd, he doesn't say ladies and gentlemen, men and women boys and girls. He says men. Males.

One of the problems we have had in Christianity. What is that? Small engine.

Yeah, one of the problems we have had in Christianity over the past two thousand years is the feminization of the church even in the colonial. There was about eight 6535 representation of women to men in the local church. This is always been a problem in, in some Churches in our culture today in America, it's worse, and it's much worse in Europe and other liberal more liberal places. It is a D20. And in some cases, 90109 women in church for every one man, what happens to a culture in this situation is it when you put the emphasis on women, it feminizes the culture whether the culture is business or the church, or the entire civilization,

The ratios change. Practically how things function. How couldn't they? We're foolish to think anything else. You build the man did He-Man Godly, Man. The kind of man that the Bible speaks of in terms of true biblical, masculinity and Leadership not cultural masculinity, which is often perverted by Pagan, motions of Macho ISM and egotism and many other factors. But building in the biblical View and you build to the strength of the men in the community, then the result is that it. Strengthens everyone.

But I think of many men who have served in this very congregation. I think I'm your father Gene. Mr. Warnock was a foundation. To do this institution into these people, and the impact may have been a silent Blessing by association. And yet he took my father under his wings as a new believer, does my dad stepped into a deacon at role. He says, this is what we do and he discipled him and he took him out. And at that point, we had a large enough congregation that we had elderly individuals who are at home, who could not come down here for a communion service and so the deacons in their proper role. We're taking and administering communion to those people in our own Church community who couldn't get here. It's only disciple them in that my dad. Interesting going on many levels, but I'll tell you something that I admire about him greatly. And I hope the god is penciling an etching this into my character. I would call him and say, Dad this.

How you doing son? Not very good. What's going on? You know what his reply would be every single time. Let's pray. And then you would pray for me right then, no pause, let's pray. They're going to be father, I pray about this situation and he would just start praying and ministering, my dad was a spiritual giant of a leader, and that's how we need to be in. That is how men who are Godly or identified. We step up, we step in, we stepped in initiating and following through in the principles of biblical manhood which is simply following directions to God, but because God designed women to be responders and men to be initiators and you build to the women in the community. Then you begin to see a role reversal and the man become feminized in the women become masculine eyes. And that is the exact friend that is seen in Pagan cultures. In other words, the. Of the judges in the Old Testament, real this time of men advocating. The rolled or work, we even see women stepping up into roles of leadership and God uses them because he is working with a vacuum situation. We're all the men have gone negative and turned away from the things of God.

Can we find a principle here that is being taught for the building of the brand new New Testament Church and you find this principal at work. Then when Peter begins his response in Acts chapter 2 verse 22. Mark 2:22 for. We see that Peter addresses, these men of Israel. Additionally, we're going to see the god, the holy spirit is leading Peter and God. The holy spirit is going to build his church on this principle where there are no strong males. Leading in a church. There are problems and we will know, then. But the Beginning Church established by God and four sizes. The men in the church will be built on the leadership of men. And there are no women in the role of leadership in the early church nun. The Miss flows from these words of Peter and acts 2:22. So, to look at it I have it up on the screen man of Israel, these words, Jesus of Nazareth, Amanda tested by God to you by Miracles wonders and signs, which God did threw him in your midst, as you yourselves. Also know, you see Peter starts out addressing the man of the nation, All People Under the Tent. He says, men, you are responsible for our families for our societies. For being the leading decision makers, use addressing specifically, the foundation of the church.

Man, is the Greek word on there, which is mails. And we saw that back in the previous versus well here in Acts chapter 2 verse why there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews devout and they're so it's the man, the males from around the world literally who are coming to Jerusalem to obey the call to come and a 10 shovel up, okay? So the same thing is what Paul is. So we have all these men in Jerusalem and what is Peter do led by God? The Holy Spirit and in tune with Divine institution, principal, he begins his declaration to men Man, he says that is so important. Now he makes an imperial, but is quite masterful as he focuses on the humanity of the Messiah. And you see, by focusing on His Humanity, the humanity of your shoe, a Jesus preparation is made for the attention. That's to be drawn into the perfect Lamb of God, who provides that simless personal sacrifice before, God and exchange for the sin of all mankind. And he must be human for that to be the case. You see the Jews, had a vast understanding of the Messiah.

I'm interacting with the guy up on the Internet, who has some strange things in his background. Number one, he was a flat earther. He doesn't even satellites, doesn't believe in Masson any of that type of stuff. So, just a weird perspective to believe in and I'm like, dude, I've got a micro, I've got a telescope that I just pull out and I quit in. I look at it, I grab my phone. I find the geosynchronous orbit,

How can you be a flat earther? It takes a level. I wants a stupidity but it isn't arrogance. That is an affront to the intelligence of every individual I'm the same type of thinking is applied to being a King James, only version believer. You must use the King James version. That is the one that is inspired. It is a one-to-one correspondence between him. God did masterful things and it's a great translation and it was much better as a translation for it's time, but it brought a lot of inherited problems along, and God did not give us translations. As his inspired word, it is original autographs that are inspired whose original writing in Greek and Hebrew. And yes, we use the English. There's nothing wrong with that, but we will find that the translators make errors and so part of the job of the pastor is to be aware if he's even capable and aware of such things to point them out. You let you know. So you have a little bit of insight, you can be the judge can go back and study it more for yourself but that's part of my job is to point out. For the translation is good, where it isn't good and that's kind of fun.

So the Lord Jesus Christ is shown to be human because he takes away the sins of the world famous guy that I'm interacting with. He's basically saying that Almost saying that we don't have to mention the death and resurrection of Christ in the gospel for someone to get saved. I would say maybe you don't have to mention the death or Resurrection. Do you have to know about the resurrection? What we do need to know is the atoning sacrifice of the Lord, Jesus Christ, that he was a substitute in judgment for our sins and you took that fold judgment upon himself and God was satisfied. How do we see that the cross when we see the God was Satisfied by the resurrection? People need to understand that exactly. Not sure that they do but they absolutely have to understand the substitutionary. Sacrifice that Jesus did all the work that we do, none of it, we trust. Therefore, if we come to him for salvation, We Trust in his work, absolutely one hundred percent and we trust in our work. Absolutely none 0%. Nothing depends on us at all. Ever everything. Depends on him and the work that he's done. Hallelujah. He did the work. So as we believe that he looks down and he goes another believer and he transforms us, he makes us spiritually alive. He renews us gives us a new spirit and we begin our Grace based Church worldwide. We brought no merit to the table. We take away nothing of our mirror, but we come back instead with the righteousness of God, that he has placed on us, because we have trusted in the work of Jesus Christ. so this is an important idea here that Peter is setting up

And he must show a connection between the humanity of your she would Jesus and the physical death and Resurrection which he fulfilled as per the Messianic prophecies. So he just starts off by identifying him as Yeshua of Nazareth.

You got here?

Your shoe at Jesus of Nazareth. Hear these words. Your shoe out of Nazareth. A man. Is that true religion and all merry men attested by God to you by Miracles wonders of signs, which goddess threw him in our midst, as yourselves also know.

So next.

from this verse, we want to bring up the idea of attested attested

and the Greek term for a tattoos, Apple Dyke. Maybe Apple Dyke near me. And I'll come back to that. So if you don't get it now you'll get it when we come back to it.

Same verse Acts chapter 2, verse 22, men of Israel. Here these words, Jesus of Nazareth, a man notice I had it under here in, man. A male attested.

here is the important concept here attested which

Beers. It means to bring a legal proposition to demonstrate a thing to be true with evidence or proof. And this is a logical structure document or presentation of facts that Peter is bringing here. Peter is here telling these men that God demonstrated and prove the miracles signs and wonders the claims that Yeshua Jesus was the god man, which is the machine

now, this side steps. Your accusations of Sauron. The accusations against the apostles coming along after the fact and making up a claim about Jesus, God gave the proof when your shoes Jesus walked among them.

Is the reality.

Bus validated Miracles, another word for Swoon Theory, doesn't hold water that Jesus wound, and then he wasn't really dead and then he popped up. So yes, he was the most brutally. Punished man on the face of the Earth, beaten beyond recognition. So that even his Humanity was not detectable versus a beast having been placed on that cross.

Then somehow he recovered out of that.

Popped up and never says everyone says, who's that Beast? I mean, Jesus. No, that's not what happened. What happened is the Miracles actually happened? When Jesus was walking here on the earth with the apostles in the side of everyone else. All these are testing miracles happen in that, time validating, Peter is seen here. God validated white Miracles by wonders and signs, which God did God himself. Did these things through Jesus in your Miss, as you yourself. Also, no. So God did it. That is an amazing thing. So you can't come back and blame the Apostle. Who say they put this Jesus story together afterwards it just doesn't make any sense. You're a tribute to Jesus, the attestation of Miracles. You would have to be making up the attestation afterwards later on and that is not the case. Yet the station happened during the life of his ministry and Peter is pointing that out to these men to these Jews. Peter is telling these man that God demonstrated improved through the use of miracles signs and wonders the claims that you shua Jesus was the god man. The Messiah, Michelle and this

Burn leaves us forward to move into the next piece. The next verse Acts chapter 2, verse 23. Him being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God you have taken by Wallace and have crucified and put to death. Now, he's talking to the decision makers of the nation, he's talking to the thinker's, the adjudicators all those individuals, the leaders of a Nation. He says, this is what has happened here, will come back and we'll dress that second service. Pick him up here from my Acts chapter 2, verse 23 who will figure out what he is doing here. What are you saying to these? Men and how everything, but he says, rocks into this idea of being men and wraps into the idea of shooting? Cuz you already addressed them. And he says, here's what Joel said. It's like Joel. What you're seeing here.

So, I was worrying next chapter to want to take a look at communion, then as an expression of the church mandated by Christ before you left this Earth, the very last meal he had with his Apostles, was the Last Supper as we call it which was this communion service done. He said, when you do this do it in remembrance of me. So are we remembering when we take communion,

Christ, Jesus were remembering Jesus. When we go to take communion to do two things together, we are going to as we have been asked by the Lord, we are going to take of the bread. There was a specific bread that represented himself and his Perfection cuz perfect ministry is the god, man. But specifically, as a man, he was perfect. He was without sin. And yet without sin, he went to the Cross to take the price. For all of our sins to take the Judgment but should be due to us. Instead he took upon himself, he became a substitute Jesus substituted himself for us just like if I get in trouble as a kid and hi. Say what's up? I guess you're going to get a spanking for that one. It may take me a song that my brother comes up and says, no, no don't spank him spank me? It might be but if that were to be the case and he took my spanking, that is a substitute someone taking the punishment in place of meat and it's much much worse when it comes to dealing with my sins. My sins are far more worth far more serious. And yet Jesus Christ in his Perfection as Humanity came to the father nice.

And so the more they the discipline, as you would for the Judgment for sin to the Lord Jesus Christ, in his perfection. Rather than me. And so we're going to focus on the bread. We're going to eat of that together. When we pass out each of the crackers there, it's going to be for that reason. So we can think about Jesus Christ in his Perfection substituting himself for me. So we'll be doing that. And then we have the taking of the cop, that is the communion drink. Now, it's to be a red wine type of drink. We have grape juice in hours. And so, what we're doing then, as this is a representation means it's most. It's supposed to make us. Think about the blood of Christ, meaning, that he shed his life and died to replace ours. Now, when someone dies, that means they're gone and they're not coming back. But that was not the case with Jesus. In fact in this situation because he was perfect, because he was sinless, death had no power over him. So, he was not able to be held dead but rather after the third day, on the third day, he rose from the grave because death couldn't hold him, he had never sinned, he had no nothing wrong. Therefore, there is no skiing, there is only Victory from the Lord Jesus Christ. And his having been resurrected, he was raised from the dead. He came back that's on to love that Sun Herald. That it is never happened before and will never happen again. Only the Lord Jesus Christ because of his Perfection was resurrected in this way, then because sin could not hold him down. No, interesting because the blood tells us that he died, so he died. But he's coming back as well. And also what we get from the blood then is a promise of future things because of his promise, God is doing a faithful thing, he has given us blessings and prosperity in the future. We would never have gotten those if he hadn't died. So he takes away our punishment, he takes away our sin or spank you in a very serious way and he brings us back and he gives us future blessings, based on the work that he has done. God is good. The work of Jesus Christ. Is why we have a relationship with God. So that is what we are going to celebrate in. This is what they did. We find in the second and third chapter of Acts but they got together and went from house to house. Celebrating the Lord's table and they ate together. Was seeing and thinking of the work of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It's in the very beginning, the Constitution, if you will of the church begins with taking communion, so we're going to do that thing at this time, we'll start with the bread.
