The preaching of the gospel of Jesus and the reception of that message by the repentant crowd led to a gathering of new believers filled with the Holy Spirit. Immediately they devoted themselves to congregational life that built them up and continued the witness of Christ to others. This is what the Holy Spirit birthed on the day of Pentecost. May we be led by the Spirit and share their devotion today. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world.

The message of Jesus as Lord and Christ, and the realization that it was this Jesus that they crucified, landed on the hearts of the people of Jerusalem with the force of cutting conviction. They knew they were guilty. What should they do? This Jesus whom they crucified will forgive them. The very death they caused is the means by which their sin is removed. Repentance, faith, and confession of Jesus as Lord is the way forward. This remains the way today. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world.

The two responses of the crowd in Jerusalem to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit reflect their unbelief. Some are confused, some mock, but all are blind to the reality that the Spirit of God has come upon his people. Peter, the once fearful disciple who denied his Lord, now stands filled with courage by the power of the Spirit to declare that what is happening can be explained only as the work of Jesus of Nazareth. This Jesus, crucified and raised, has now poured out the Holy Spirit. This Jesus is both Lord and Christ. To this Jesus we turn in repentance and faith. This Jesus we proclaim.

In Acts 2, the promised day is here, and Jesus pours out his Spirit on his disciples. That day marks a new day in God’s redemptive history. In the days of the prophets and of John the Baptist, the Spirit was promised. Now the Spirit has come, filling believers with power to declare the mighty works of God in the last days. These are the days in which we live. This promise is for us. May the Lord open our eyes to this indescribable gift.

Scott and Josh talk about Peter and Judas. These two men both sinned in a big way, and yet had very different outcomes. Why?

The days between the ascension of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and disciples were significant in the history of church and remain so for us today. These days show us the importance of obedience and prayer, the necessity of Scripture being fulfilled, and the provision that Christ makes for his church to be his witnesses. We gain instruction and encouragement from these things. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world.

Before Jesus ascended into heaven, he commissioned his apostles concerning their work in the world. Knowing that they were inadequate in themselves for this work, Jesus promised them the Holy Spirit, who would give them power. He promised that they would fulfill their call to be his witnesses. And he promised to return and bring the work to a final and victorious end. These promises are true for the church today, and they give us the confidence we need to faithfully continue on.

All our hope is in Jesus. We trust him for salvation, follow him as Lord, and live in union with him. Jesus is the cornerstone, and his chosen apostles laid the foundation of truth on which the household of God is built.

The book of Acts opens with what Jesus began to do and teach while on earth. As it unfolds, we discover what Jesus continues to do on earth in these last days. Until Jesus returns, there will be no end to his activity, by his Spirit, through his church that proclaims in all the world what his apostles witnessed concerning him. Today, we open the book of Acts to see Jesus reigning in heaven and ruling on earth. Someday we will see him in the new heavens and new earth. Until them, let us continue in faithfulness to him.
