The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16 and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and
through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed
, because you have obeyed me
.”
Genesis
22:15-18Slide4
“And afterward, I
will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy,your old men will dream dreams, your
young men will see visions
.
29
Even on my servants, both men and women
, I
will pour out my Spirit in those days
.
30
I will show wonders in the
heavens and
on the earth,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31
The sun will be turned to
darkness and
the moon to
blood before
the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
32
And everyone who
calls on
the name of the Lord will be saved
; for
on Mount Zion and in
Jerusalem there
will be deliverance
, as
the Lord has said
, even
among the
survivors whom the Lord calls.
Joel
2:28-32Slide5
“Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone.
23 I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then
the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Sovereign Lord
, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes
.
Ezekial
36:22-23Slide6
The Christian Church is the fellowship of all those who, in response to the apostolic message proclaimed in the Word and sacraments, confess their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; a faith that is the gift of God’s electing grace and that works by love, this love transcending the
barriers of class, race, sex, culture, and nation so that the church may be likened to the one body having many members under Christ who is the head. Richard Baxter, 17th CenturySlide7
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
5
Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
6
When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken.
7
Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans
?
8
Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language
?
9
Parthians, Medes and
Elamites
; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10
Phrygia and
Pamphylia
, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome
11
(both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
12
Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean
?”
13
Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine
.”
Acts
2:1-13Slide8
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15
These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17
“‘In the last days, God
says, I
will pour out my
Spirit
on all people
. Your
sons and daughters will
prophesy, your
young men will see visions
, your old
men will dream dreams.
18
Even on my servants, both men and
women, I
will pour out my Spirit in those
days, and
they will prophesy
. …
Acts
2:14-18Slide9
With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation
.” 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
43
Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.
44
All the believers were together and had everything in common.
45
They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
46
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.
They
broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
47
praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people
.
And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved
.
Acts
2:40-47Slide10
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.
17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:16-20Slide11
In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.
2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them
4
and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”
5
This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip,
Procorus
,
Nicanor
,
Timon
,
Parmenas
, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism.
6
They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
7
So the word of God spread.
The
number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith
.
Acts
6:1-7Slide12
The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.
18 For Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and “The worker deserves his wages.” 19 Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses.
20
But those elders who are sinning you are to reprove before everyone, so that the others may take warning.
21
I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism.
22
Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others.
Keep
yourself pure
.
1 Timothy
5:17-22Slide13
Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.
2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect.
5
(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church
?)
6
He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.
7
He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.
8
In the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain
.
9
They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.
10
They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons
.
1 Timothy 3:1-10Slide14
