The Acts of the Apostles What Do We Do Now?

A message of God’s Judgment. God’s judgment is always connected with his mercy. Our ministry must provide a warning and a message of hope. THE FIRST MESSAGE

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9: 27

The Gospel must be a message of warning that leads us to hope. KEY POINT #1

The Jews were waiting for the Messiah and his physical kingdom to make all things right. EXPECTATIONS

Is God speaking to you, but you can’t hear him because he’s not saying what you want him to say? KEY QUESTION #1

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Acts 2: 22

All of the Bible is written for us, but it is not all written directly to us. SPECIAL NOTE

Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Acts 2: 23

The Cross was not a surprise to God But rather an appointment.

And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! Luke 22: 22

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: Luke 24: 44 -46

Just as the cross was an appointment on God’s calendar, your response to that invitation is also on God’s calendar. Are you prepared to meet your God? KEY QUESTION #2

Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. Acts 2: 24

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6: 23

Jesus spoiled… …principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Colossians 2: 15

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15: 55 -57

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5: 17

The pains of death may trouble you, but as a child of God, we can rest assured that there is coming a day where they will have no power over you. KEY POINT #2

For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Acts 2: 25 -28

Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Acts 2: 29 -32

Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. Acts 2: 33

For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Acts 2: 34 -36

Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Acts 2: 37
