Sermon
Text: Acts 1: 5 For John
baptized with water, but in a few days
you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit
Sermon
Title: The Pentecost Experience Pt 1
Point
1:
Person of the Holy Spirit Matthew 3: 16,
17…At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending
like a dove and lighting on him…This my Son…
There are three levels of
relationship. Physical. Emotional. Spiritual. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13: 14 The Message bible The
amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, the
intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit, be with all of you. The Holy Spirit
is gentle and not forceful. Therefore you cannot grieve the Holy Spirit Ephesians 4: 30
The Holy Spirit is soft
spoken 1 Kings 19: 12, 13…And after the
fire there came a whisper…Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing
here, Elijah."
The Holy Spirit has two love
languages… Acts 1: 4…"Do not leave
Jerusalem, but wait for the gift [the Holy Spirit] my Father promised…Psalms
27: 8 AMP You have said, Seek My face [inquire for and require My presence as
your vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I
seek.
Psalms 145: 1 - 3 I
will extol you, my God and King, and bless you name forever and ever. Every day
I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and
greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.
Point
2:
Purpose of the Holy Spirit Acts 1: 8b…and you will be witnesses in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." The
Holy Spirit has multiple purposes.
Jesus also says the Holy
Spirit will lead or guide us into all truth. John 14: 26…will teach you all things and will remind you of everything
I have said to you.
Jesus says
the Holy Spirit is our comforter who comes along side of us. John 14: 16…He will give you another
Helper/Comforter/Counselor The Greek word for another means another
helper just like me NOT a different helper.
Point 3: The
Place of the Holy Spirit 1: 4, 8 - 4 On one occasion, while he was
eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait
for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 8 But you
will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses
in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Point
4:
Power of the Holy Spirit Acts 1: 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit
comes on you…
The Greek word that is used
for power in the text Dynamite...
Ephesians
3: 20 He will do exceedingly abundantly by the power that works within you.
John 4: 4… put it another way for he who
is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Life
Application:
1. Become…on the third level of relationship
2. Submit yourself…
3. Come to the…
4. Stop
acting…
