God testifies about Himself in "common grace." 1.a. All the good that He does to all His creatures (creation and providence) 1.b. Rain from heaven, fruitful seasons 1.c. Physical neediness and fulfillment 1.d. Spiritual neediness and fulfillment 2. God testifies about Himself in "special grace" of conversion 2.a. God doesn't owe anyone (v16) to turn us from useless things (v15). The preaching of repentance is a great mercy from God. 2.b. The giving of faith is a great mercy from God (cf. 13:48) 2.c. Signs like in v8–10 affirmed the preaching and the faith (cf. 14:3; 2:43; 2Cor 12:11–12; Heb 2:3–4). This was also true in Jesus's own ministry (cf. Mt 9:2–8; Mk 2:5–12; Lk 5:20–26; cp. Mt 13:57–58, Mk 6:4–6) 3. God testifies to this "special grace" especially in sanctification 3.a. 13:52 more likely referring to fruit of the Spirit than signs of an apostle 3.b. vv19–20 are also "signs of an apostle" in the marvelous sanctification of Paul! (cf. 1Cor 4:9–16; 2Cor 12:12 vs 12:9–10) https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/10102232144676 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 09 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:47:25 no James Hakim - Acts (2022–2023) https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/103221951571220 MAIN IDEA: through whatever opposition they experience on earth, Christ's servants serve Him in dependence upon Him. INTRODUCTION: desiring and anticipating the spread of the gospel. What might it look like? 1. PERSECUTION BY UNBELIEVERS 1.a. Even by some who were "good church members" of late, v50. 1.b. Even (especially?) by "devout and prominent women," v50. 1.c. Especially by "chief men," v50. 1.d. Especially through gossip, v50, 14:2. 1.e. Even unto death, 14:5. 2. PERSISTENCE OF BELIEVERS—PARTICULARLY PREACHERS 2.a. Remembering the greater Witness, v51. 2.b. Continuing on mission, end of v51. (cf. 13:5, 14, 24, 31, 32, 49; 14:1, 7, 21). 2.c. Persisting in excellence, 14:1. They "so spoke" ... "boldness" (v3, cf. 4:29–31, Eph 6:20) and also plainness (cf. 2Cor 4:2; Col 4:4). 2.d. Encouraged rather than discouraged, v3. "Therefore" they stayed. "Speaking boldly." (cf. v22!). 3. POWER OF GOD 3.a. Sanctification, v52. 3.b. God's power, not man's. v52 occurs in Paul and Barnabas's absence. 3.c. Great multitudes of all sorts believing, 14:1. The power of the One Who appoints to eternal life (cf. v48). 3.d. Signs and wonders, 14:3. Today, the sign and wonder is greater: a completed, preserved Bible; a preserved, faithful (to that Bible/defined by that Bible) church. Conclusion: God Himself is the main character and feature in a revival. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/103221951571220 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:57:18 no James Hakim - Acts (2022–2023) https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/92722349473856 When God gives a living, saving response to gospel preaching, hearers want more of it, rejoice over it, glorify it, and believe in the Christ Who addresses them in the preaching. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/92722349473856 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 25 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:54:01 no James Hakim - Acts (2022–2023) https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/91922245406276 Apostolic preaching of the gospel announces Jesus as the fulfillment of all God's promises of salvation and forgiveness of sins—accomplishing it by dying and rising again, and applying it by making His gospel preached and believed. https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/91922245406276 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:52:44 no James Hakim - Acts (2022–2023) https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/91222174841166 Apostolic preaching of the gospel announces Jesus as the fulfillment of all God's promises of salvation and forgiveness of sins—accomplishing it by dying and rising again, and applying it by making His gospel preached and believed https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/91222174841166 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 James Hakim 0:42:14 no James Hakim - Acts (2022–2023) https://sa.hpwl.org/sermons/95221817346887 We are still in the age of the Spirit and the spread of the gospel.
