The Fire of Pentecost Acts 2 Sun 4 Oct PM Pastor Darren Rogers

The sermon explores the theological significance of Christ's promise in John 14 to pray to the Father for the sending of the Holy Spirit, identifying this as a foundational act of the covenant of redemption. It argues that the outpouring of the Spirit is not a singular historical event limited to Pentecost but a continuous reality for the New Testament church, grounded in the finished work of Chri...

The sermon explores the Christian call to run the race of faith with endurance, as outlined in Hebrews 12, by laying aside spiritual weights and fixing one's eyes on Jesus. It emphasizes the necessity of the Holy Spirit's fire to purify, empower, and energize believers, drawing on biblical examples from the burning bush to Pentecost. The message warns against the lethargy of lukewarm faith, urging...

This sermon traces the transformation of Peter from a fearful disciple who denied Christ to a bold apostle empowered by the Holy Spirit. It highlights the pivotal moment of restoration in John 21, where Jesus reinstates Peter through the 'Feed my sheep' commission, contrasting Peter's earlier hesitation with his subsequent confidence. The narrative then moves to Acts, illustrating Peter's bold pre...

The blessed hope is the growth of the Kingdom so that the knowledge of God covers the earth as the waters cover the sea. That is the message Peter proclaimed at Pentecost.

In "Joel: The Day of the Lord," a Sunday night overview of the Minor Prophets, Charles Sebold walks through Joel's three chapters around one refrain and one question: "The day of Yahweh is great and very awesome; who can endure it?" (Joel 2:11). Locusts and drought strip Judah so bare that the temple offerings cease, and the people are told to read it as Yahweh's own doing. Yet even now the door s...

How did the disciples of Jesus live in humility (before Pentecost)?

🌿 THE SEVEN JEWISH FEASTS: GOD'S APPOINTED TIMES AND THE STORY OF REDEMPTION What do the seven Jewish feasts have to do with Jesus Christ and the Christian life? In Leviticus 23, God established seven appointed feasts for Israel. These were not simply Jewish holidays—they were "the feasts of the LORD." When studied alongside the rest of Scripture, these appointed times provide a remarkable biblic...

Many miracles were performed by the apostles after Pentecost, (Acts 2:43). Luke has recorded one which gives us a picture of the world's humanity and of the kind of messengers God can use to reach them. This is the miracle of the healing of the Lame Man. The residents of Jerusalem should not be surprised by miracles – many had happened throughout the Old Testament eras. Here was the evidence that...

This sermon examines the consequences of the apostolic preaching in Acts 2, emphasizing that true preaching leads to conviction, conversion, and steadfast continuation in the faith. The speaker contrasts modern church practices with the early church's focus on the centrality of the gospel, noting that only God can pierce the heart to produce genuine repentance. The text highlights the visible natu...

On this Let's Talk Pastor Rocky Stevenson of Benoni Bible Church is joined with Kevin Swanson from Generations Media Network in the USA, and they explore the urgent necessity of spiritual revival, arguing that the church faces a choice between renewal or decline. They emphasise the need to return to the biblical model of Pentecost found in Acts, characterised by forty days of prayer and the subseq...

Today we will hear Peter explains that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost fulfills God's promise to His people. The last days have begun.

The message addresses the...

This sermon explores the culmination of the Day of the Lord in the book of Joel, contrasting the temporary cycles of repentance and restoration in Israel's history with the permanent salvation inaugurated by the Holy Spirit. The message identifies the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost as the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy, marking the arrival of the last days and the end of spiritual stagnatio...

This sermon examines the events of Pentecost in Acts chapter two, defining the term as simply meaning 'fiftieth' rather than implying any magical properties. The speaker argues that the gift of tongues was a supernatural ability to speak known foreign dialects for evangelism, explicitly rejecting the concept of unknown or ecstatic languages. By analyzing the crowd's reaction and Peter's subsequent...

The sermon examines the doctrine of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, distinguishing it from the separate experience often taught in charismatic circles. It argues that the biblical baptism of the Spirit occurs at salvation, indwelling the believer and washing away sin, rather than serving as a subsequent empowerment for special gifts. The speaker critiques the blurring of doctrinal lines that leads...

On the day of Pentecost the risen Christ keeps His word: the Spirit comes from heaven with wind and fire, filling waiting disciples so they they may declare the mighty works of God in the languages of the nations gathered in Jerusalem. What Sinai once wrote on stone God now writes on hearts of flesh; what Babel scattered, God now commandeers for praise; Come hear how the Passover blood, Sinai's th...
