Sermon Notes ​ Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe ​ 1. BRINGING 2. SALVATION 3. ALL PEOPLE Our confidence is not in our ethnicity or nationality, social standing or circumstances. Our confidence is not in our obedience. Our confidence is in the grace of God and our hope of eternal life.

Matthew 11:11 Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Luke 7:22 And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. Philippians 1:6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way. Miguel Medina I am both provoked and encouraged hearing that you will judge with equity. Miguel Medina We will

Sermon Notes • Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe • 1. THE LORD ON THE THRONE 2. ISAIAH REPENTS 3. THE LORD CLEANSES 4. THE LORD SENDS CRADLE | Sentimentalized CROSS | Trivialized CROWN | Forgotten Isaiah 1:11–12 What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the LORD; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats. When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts? Isaiah 1:16–17 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.

Sermon Notes • Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe • 1. THE SPIRIT IS THE EVANGELIST 2. v30 - DO YOU UNDERSTAND? 3. v31 - HOW CAN I? 4. v34 - ABOUT WHOM? 5. v36 - WHAT PREVENTS ME? WHAT PREVENTS YOU? The Holy Spirit sends. The church preaches. The nations hear. And out from among the nations, a redeemed people believe. John 16:13 says When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth … Romans 10:14–15 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

Sermon Notes • Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe • 1. v1 - SAUL APPROVED 2. v1 - ON THAT DAY 3. v1 - THROUGHOUT JUDEA AND SAMARIA 4. v4 - THE WORD IS SCATTERED 5. v8 - MUCH JOY 1 Peter | God is not preparing this generation to be successful or affluent, but to endure; and to endure in such a way that we proclaim and take hold of the excellencies of Christ. The WORD, that is the gospel about Jesus the Christ, is the ever present character that runs like a thread through the fabric of the establishment and spread of the church. What if generosity, toward one another, toward our community, toward the mission of the church, and among the missionaries of the world, a. … becomes a means by which God would remove the deceitfulness of riches from us b. … that we would be prepared and engaged in the proclamation of the excellencies of Christ no matter where w are scattered. Acts 7:58 Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnes

Sermon Notes ​ Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe ​ 1. A healthy church maintains the word and prayer at the center of its ministry. 2. A healthy church ministers in both word and deed. 3. A healthy church appoints ministry leaders for the right reasons. 4. A healthy church equips and empowers the saints for the work of ministry. 5. A healthy church displays the power of the gospel through unity in diversity. 6. A healthy church embraces change when needed. Pillar, Peterson Most importantly, however, the present context suggests that, if decisive action had not been taken to deal with the social issue disturbing the church, ‘growth’ of the word may not have continued. Steve Timmis I think success [in ministry] is … seeing the Word of God taken by the Spirit of God in the lives of the people of God and just changing them, making them more like Christ, and [non-believers] being attracted by the kind of corporate life [of the church] and seeing the Gospel as the only explanation for what is going on and them responding

Sermon Notes ​ Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe ​ v12–16 - THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH IS A MESSAGE v17-21 - THIS MESSAGE IS ENTRUSTED BY GOD v21b-32 - THE COMMAND TO PREACH THIS MESSAGE SUPERSEDES EVERY OTHER AUTHORITY v30-32 - THE MESSAGE WHICH THE WITNESSES PROCLAIM God raised Jesus God exalted Jesus as Leader and Savior Jesus gives repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins We are witnesses When the Spirit’s wind blew, the apostles’ proclamation of the death and resurrection of Jesus became the abundant and substantial fuel source such that the fire is still burning in our hearts and in our community to this day! I look at the church and I wonder if our greater problem, even in the present cultural moment, is not external authorities, but internal priorities. Acts 1:8 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. 1 Thessalonians 2:2–4 But though we had already suffered and been shamefully trea
