The Act of TEACH (Acts 8)

It is a joy to preach through the book of Acts!  It is filled with examples and lessons that I need to learn and apply.  As I continue to look at the “Acts of Acts” in this sermon series, it seems like each chapter has the apostles, or early Christians, involved in an act that we have a tendency to try to avoid.  Yet it was these very acts of God in their lives that transformed a fledgling group disciples in disarray into a mighty force that turned the known world upside down with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We live in a time where we need such a transformation in the church and in the lives of the individuals who follow Jesus.

As we arrive in Acts 8 in our sermon series, we find persecution breaking out against the church in Jerusalem which causes the early Christians to scatter.  As the went, they were diligent to preach the word, giving us some examples of an effective Act of TEACH!  Let’s look at some lessons we can learn from the example of the early church.

  • Terror:  This may seem like a strange starting point for the Act of TEACH, but just ask someone to teach children, their neighbor, a co-worker, or anyone else about God — that look you get . . .  that is typically a look of terror!  While Christians in many parts of the world do face the possibility of real acts of terror against them for teaching about Jesus, our American sense of terror at the idea of teaching about Jesus is usually simply a matter of not being willing to leave our comfort zone.  As these early disciples fled, the didn’t just flee from the persecution.  They also left behind that which was familiar as well as those who had instructed them in the truth of God’s Word.  While I think my first reaction would have been to hide and blend in wherever I went, these disciples didn’t do that — they preached the word of God wherever they went.  When God calls you to grow in the Act of TEACH, recognize that the response of terror may be real but it doesn’t have to control your actions.
  • Exchange:  So, when fear wants to control how do you accomplish the Act of TEACH?  You must exchange the terror for purpose!  The early Christians exchanged persecution for opportunity.  The people of Samaria exchanged evil and sickness for wholeness and healing.  Simon attempted to exchange money for the power of God, but that wasn’t about to happen so he exchanged his greed for repentance and forgiveness.  The Ethiopian eunuch exchanged his questions and searching for answers and salvation.  Do you notice the pattern?  The exchanges that God brought about were all taking things that no one would really want and replacing them with godly things of great value!     Learning to exchange things of no, or negative, value for things of eternal value is a vital quality to help you grow in the Act of TEACH.
  • Amazement: This is a result, or at least a by-product, of exchanging your terror for purpose.  When you allow God to replace your fear with the power of His Spirit it produces an amazement not only in your life, but to those who observe.  When the people of Samaria began to see and experience the exchange of evil and sickness for the wholeness and healing from God, the amazement spread to the entire region.  This is the “Wow!” factor in  your life.  When people see the power of God at work in and through you in ways that amaze them, you have the opportunity to teach them about the relationship you have with Jesus!    When we are growing in the Act of TEACH, we live with growing amazement that comes from exchanging our fears, weaknesses, and frailty for the power of the living God.
  • Conviction:  Up until now, the Act of Teach has been nice, helpful, even comfortable once we realized we could exchange our fear for God’s purpose.  But the big question is still there, “What’s the point, or purpose, of the Act of Teach?”.  The teaching of God’s Word brings conviction to those who take it in with an open heart.  When the people of Samaria heard the teaching being shared by Philip, they were convicted of their need to surrender to God and be immersed into Jesus Christ.  Even when pride takes over after Simon is immersed into Christ, the teaching of God brings conviction to his life.  And a worshipper of God from Ethiopia is convicted by the truth of God’s Word when Philip has the opportunity to teach.  When we spend time sharing the Act of TEACH with humility and transparency, we make room for God’s Spirit to bring conviction to us and our listeners.
  • Hearing:  An important key to the Act of TEACH is a willingness to hear.  All throughout Acts 8 you see people willing to hear the direction that God is giving.  This is a hearing that puts into action the message being shared.  Until a genuine hearing takes place, the teaching done lies silent, waiting for growth.  The crowds of Samaria actively hear the teaching of the Christ and respond by turning to Him.  Philip hears the message of God and leaves Samaria to keep an appointment made by God on the desert road.  The Ethiopian eunuch responded to his hearing the message of God with a decision to stop and be baptized immediately.  For the Act of TEACH to be effective, this hearing must take place both by us and by those we have opportunity to share with about our relationship with Jesus.

So, how are you doing in living out and growing in the Act of TEACH?  Do you spend time with God learning recognizing any Terror you must deal with, Exchanging things of no, or negative, value for things of eternal value, living in Amazement at the work and power of God, responding to the Conviction brought by Gods’ Spirit, and actively Hearing the word of God?  I pray that the act of TEACH expressed through your life will boldly show the world that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior!

The Act of TELL (Acts 7)

Jesus gave the instructions before his ascension that we are to go into all the world and preach the gospel.  This wasn’t directed at “preachers” but at all who would be disciples of Jesus.  As I continue to look at the “Acts of Acts” in this sermon series, it seems like each chapter has the apostles, or early Christians, involved in an act that we have a tendency to try to avoid.  Yet it was these very acts of God in their lives that transformed a fledgling group disciples in disarray into a mighty force that turned the known world upside down with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We live in a time where we need such a transformation in the church and in the lives of the individuals who follow Jesus.

As we reach Acts 7 in our sermon series, we find through the example of Stephen several important characteristics of an effective Act of TELL!  Let’s look at some lessons we can learn from the example of the early church.

  • Truth:  Acts 7 opens with a fairly simple question of Stephen regarding accusations that he had blasphemed both Moses and God — “Are these charges true?”.  The foundation of Stephen’s act of tell was truth.  Sometimes we struggle with the act of tell because our foundation of truth is not solid.  When asked about truth, we trip over our words and struggle to come up with anything meaningful because we don’t have a firm grip on real truth.  Jesus made it clear that he is the way, the truth and the life.  We learn from God that his word is truth.  How much time we spend pursuing God and the truth of his word will be reflected in our grasp of truth.  When God calls you to grow in the Act of TELL, spend time with God because He is truth.
  • Explaining:  When we have a firm grasp on real truth, it makes the act of explaining so much easier!  Stephen relies on the authority of God’s word to explain just how false the charges against him were.  He explains God’s hand in the life of Israel and how Moses was used to fulfill God’s promise to establish a nation from Abraham.  What has God done in your life?  How much do you pay attention to the working of God?  When God gives you the opportunity to explain the hope that lies within you, are you confident enough to tell people about what Jesus has done in your life?     Learning to rely on the authority of God’s word when we explain is a vital quality to help you grow in the Act of TELL.
  • Law: As New Testament Christians it is often easy to forget that the act of law is still in effect.  Yes, the blood of Jesus does cleanse us from all unrighteousness if we accept the payment the he made on the cross to satisfy the law against sin and are immersed into him to wash away our sin!  But the law still exists — the wages of sin is death.  Without the cleansing power of a relationship with Jesus, the penalty of the law is still applied.  The act of the law should compel us to the act of tell every opportunity we have!    When we are growing in the Act of TELL, we live with an understanding that the law applies to all who have not accepted the payment made by Jesus to satisfy it.
  • Love:  Who do you love?  How do you know?  How do they know?  God calls us to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us.  The act of love is exemplified through the death of Jesus, and then through the death of Stephen.  Both of them desired forgiveness for their executioners.  Our lack of love often keeps us from taking seriously God’s command to tell!  While we won’t typically state it out loud, we really don’t want our enemies to be forgiven so we don’t tell.  It seems that we constantly need reminded that God expressed his love and forgiveness to us while we were still enemies of his.  When we spend time asking God to help us love people with the love he has,  and we put that love into practice, we are well on our way to growing in the Act of TELL.

So, how are you doing in living out and growing in the Act of TELL?  Do you spend time with God learning real Truth, Explaining to others the work God is doing in your life, living in awareness of the consequences of living under the Law, and growing in Love for all?  I pray that the act of TELL expressed through your life will boldly show the world that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior!

The Act of SERVE (Acts 6)

As I continue to look at the “Acts of Acts” in this sermon series, it seems like each chapter has the apostles, or early Christians, involved in an act that we have a tendency to try to avoid.  Yet it was these very acts of God in their lives that transformed a fledgling group disciples in disarray into a mighty force that turned the known world upside down with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We live in a time where we need such a transformation in the church and in the lives of the individuals who follow Jesus.

As we reach Acts 6 in our sermon series, we find a need and an example of the Act of SERVE!  Let’s look at some lessons we can learn from the example of the early church.

  • Shortage:  Sometimes we are not serving because we don’t know where to serve or what is needed.  The Act of SERVE often begins when we listen to people and allow God to show us a genuine shortage or need.  While complaining is not a godly characteristic — God says to do everything without grumbling or complaining — open listening to the complaints of others can often reveal a real shortage that is just waiting for someone to serve.  It was the complaints of the Grecian Jews that made the apostles aware of a shortage in the needs of widows being met.  When God calls you to grow in the Act of SERVE, spend time with God looking for a shortage that He may be equipping you to meet.
  • Enlist:  Sometimes we fail to serve because we don’t notice the need, other times it is because we notice the shortage and it seems too big and impossible for us to do on our own.  This is where the next principle comes in — the Act of SERVE often calls us to enlist others to meet a need that is beyond what God has equipped us to do on our own.  When we enlist others it gives them an opportunity to serve with us and it allows us to train together for future needs God may call us to meet.  In Acts 6, the shortage was made known and the apostles recognized a need to enlist others to meet the need as it was necessary for them to stay focused on the work God had given them in prayer and ministry of the Word!  Learning to enlist others to meet a need that is larger than you can do on your own or would take you away from work God has already called you to do, is a vital quality to help you grow in the Act of SERVE.
  • Results: This is the fun part of growing in the Act of SERVE — the results!  When we begin to regularly notice areas of shortage and are able to enlist others in meeting real needs, God gives the results.  God calls us to serve one another out of obedience to Him and in reflecting the nature of Jesus.  Jesus-style love is like faith — it requires action to be alive.  Jesus says that the results of this type of love among Christians is that the world would know we are His.  Verse 7 of Acts six begins with the word “so”.  It is a transition that indicates because the shortage was identified and people were enlisted to meet it, the word of God spread and the number of disciples increased rapidly!    When we are growing in the Act of Serve, we commit to being faithful and trust God to provide the results.
  • Vision:  Sometimes we are not serving because we need an eye exam and corrective lenses that help us to see people and situations as Jesus sees them!  Our vision becomes cloudy and cynical as the world tries to convince us that the only needs that exist are self-created and therefore not our problem.  The Act of SERVE requires that we have the vision to see the service we do as vital and important enough that the quality of our character is at the core of the requirements for the task.  At first glance, it would seem that the need presented in Acts 6 is so basic and mundane that the qualifications for someone to meet that need would be pretty basic — we might go looking for people who had experience in the food-service industry — yet the problem is addressed with true vision when the primary qualifications for those who would serve is that they are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom.  When we spend time asking God to help us see people and situations as He sees them and when we view the spiritual qualities of our life as the most important qualification that we have, we are well on our way to growing in the Act of SERVE.
  • Envy:  If only I could leave chapter six without discussing this final point.  Yet there it is, unmistakable envy rearing its ugly head directed at one living out the Act of SERVE.  It still happens.  People serve God with reckless abandonment and as they serve others in His name God brings about the amazing result of drawing people to Himself.  There seems to be a part of us that is so much about us that we can’t stand to see others reap the results of faithfully serving God — at least not if their results look better than our results.  We must be very careful that we allow absolutely no room for envy to take root and express itself in our life.  It is one of those thoughts that we must take captive and make obedient to the word and will of God.  It is also something we must be warned of — when we grow in the Act of SERVE, others will envy the results that are provided by God.  Knowing it is coming will not keep it at bay but it should help us to rest in our relationship with God and break the power that envy has over us.  When the religious leaders saw the results of God working through Stephen’s Act of SERVE, envy settled in and grew to great hatred and animosity expressed toward Stephen.  When you set out to grow in the Act of SERVE, you must be on guard against envy by being prepared and allowing God to give you the confidence to stand firm in your relationship with Him.

So, how are you doing in living out and growing in the Act of SERVE?  Do you spend time with God noticing the Shortages, Enlisting the help of others, trusting God for the Results, seeing everything with the Vision of Christ, and guarding yourself against Envy from within and without?  I pray that the act of SERVE expressed through your life will boldly show the world that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior!

The Act of FEAR (Acts 5)

The fear of God can be a very confusing topic as modern Christianity has done its best to make its version of the gospel more appealing and user-friendly.  We focus on the love of God, even at times to the exclusion of His sovereignty.  God tells us in Proverbs that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom.  Sometimes learning the lesson of the fear of the Lord can be painful and costly.  Such was the case in the New Testament church as it began to grow from infancy to maturity.

As we reach Acts 5 in our sermon series, we find a couple whose lack of fear of the Lord cost them their lives and their example caused great fear to grip the church and all those who heard what had happened.  So, how do we know if we’re growing in a healthy fear of the Lord?  Let’s look at some things that went wrong, and right, in Acts 5 as we learn how to grow in our fear of the Lord.

  • Falsehood:  How much value do you put on truth?  Really?  How do you know?  Would an examination of your actions reveal the same value on truth that your words would say or would your deeds tell a different story?  Ananias and Sapphira hatch a plot that seems to have no benefit other than to perhaps make themselves look better in the eyes of people.  Upon questioning, Peter makes it clear that there was no requirement for them to sell their property, no requirement to give all, or any, of the proceeds once the property was sold.  Their sin wasn’t in keeping back some of the proceeds, it was in giving an impression that was different from reality.  A genuine fear of the Lord requires that we see falsehood as more than “little white lies”, but as the deadly sin that it is in God’s view.
  • Exposure:  I have often heard it said that if God dealt with sin in the church today as He did with Ananias and Sapphira, the church would be full of straight-living Christians.  Unfortunately, while that’s a good thought, I think the church would be pretty empty as most of us would be dead!  Sometimes it is the fear of exposure more than the fear of God that keeps us making right choices.  While intellectually we probably don’t believe it, our actions often say quite loudly that we don’t really think God sees or knows our every action.  When questioned separately, Sapphira had the opportunity to “come clean” and confess her sin, which was already known, yet chose to hold fast to the deadly deception.  God gives us the opportunity to come clean and confess our sins to Him who is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  This voluntary exposure gives us a clean slate before God so that when our deeds are exposed at the final judgement, the sin in our life need not be exposed before God because it has been washed clean in the blood of Jesus!  The fear of the Lord ought to drive us to voluntary exposure where we confess our sins and receive forgiveness that only God can offer.
  • Accusation:  Living a godly life does not exempt you from accusation.  As a matter of fact, satan is the master accuser and the more you seek to live a life pleasing to God, the more he will attack you with one accusation after another.  Sometimes we live as if our fear of accusation against us is greater than our fear of the Lord.  After the deaths of Ananias and Sapphira, fear gripped the entire church yet the apostles continued to preach and teach publicly with great boldness.  Even when jailed, and released by an angel of the Lord, they kept on doing what God had commanded them.  How often is a simple accusation against us enough to keep us quiet?  Are we confident of the message and command God has given us?  A genuine fear of the Lord says that I must obey God rather than men even when the accusations hit hard.
  • Rejoicing:  Life is hard!  Living life as a Christian can be hard as well!  It seems that sometimes we forget that or we think that God ought to smooth everything out for us.  Paul writes and tell us, “Rejoice in the Lord always!  I will say it again, Rejoice!”.  He does so because God knows we need that reminder because things get tough in life.  The end of Acts 5 tells us that the apostles left the meeting of the Sanhedrin rejoicing.  Must have been a nice peaceful meeting where everyone was getting along with each other, right?  Oh, wait, there’s more!  The previous verse tells us the apostles were flogged and ordered to speak no longer in the name of Jesus — not quite the action that we would think should bring about rejoicing.  Yet here they were, rejoicing that they were counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the name of Jesus!  A real fear of the Lord causes us to rejoice at every opportunity to be identified with Jesus — even when that opportunity is in suffering.

So, how is the act of FEAR being expressed both in and through your life?  Are you putting off Falsehood, voluntarily Exposing yourself to God through confession, living life so that the Accusations against you have no place to stick, and are you Rejoicing that your name is written in the Lamb’s book of life?  I pray that the act of FEAR brings great knowledge and wisdom to you and to many others through you.
