Ephes ians 4 : 11 - 1311 “It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare (equip) God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be build up”

Ephes ians 4 : 11 - 1313 “until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”

HOW CHRISTIANS ARE MADE

ACTS 10

1 THE HOLY SPIRIT

CONVICTS

Acts 10: 1 - 51 “At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort, 2 a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God. 3 About the ninth hour of the day,” that’s 3 p.m

Acts 10: 1 - 5“he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him, 4 ‘Cornelius.’ And he stared at him in terror and said, ‘What is it, Lord?’ And he said to him, ‘Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter.

Acts 10: 1 - 56 He is lodging with one Simon,’” a lot of Simons in this story today, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.’ 7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants 8 and a devout soldier from among those who attended him, and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.”

CORNELIUS

2 THE HOLY SPIRIT

EMPOWERS

PETER

“The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour,” that was noon, “to pray. And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance.”

“And saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. And there came a voice to him: ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’ But Peter said, ‘By no means, Lord;

for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.’ And the voice came to him again a second time, ‘What God has made clean, do not call common.’ This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.”

Peter’s in Joppa. It’s a seaward town. He’s gone up on the roof, he’s very hungry, he’s been praying, it’s noon, he’s waiting for his food to be prepared. He’s likely looking out onto the sea and probably seeing ships. And out of heaven, in a supernatural vision, in a trance,

comes this sheet that probably looks like a sail. And on it, according to the text, are all kinds of animals. And Peter is commanded by the Lord, “Peter, I want you to kill and eat.”

3 THE HOLY SPIRIT

REVEALS

“As for the word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ,” important in this parentheses, “(he is Lord of all), you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed:

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree,” that’s the cross

“but God raised him on the third day,” that’s the Resurrection, “and made him to appear, not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify

that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone,” that everyone, that everyone, “who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

4 THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES

LIFE

ACTS 10: 36 - “While Peter was still saying these things”— he’s still preaching. He’s not even done yet, not even to the point of the invitation, not even an altar call. “While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.” Isn’t that great?

Peter doesn’t even get to finish his message. The Holy Spirit descends on those that are hearing and they receive the Holy Spirit. “And the believers from among the circumcised,” those are the Jewish believers, “who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles.”

Even on a Pagan Roman who was opposed militarily to Israel, he receives the Holy Spirit “For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared, ‘Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people’”— don’t you love his zeal?— “‘Who have

received the Holy Spirit just as we have?’ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.”
