Be strong, therefore, and show yourself a man. 3 “Keep the charge of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to what is written in the Law of Moses, that you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn, 1 Kings 2: As David’s time to die drew near, he charged Solomon his son, saying, 2 “I am going the way of all the earth.

This Fall The Great Adventure The Great Adventure explores a man and his world beyond the everyday. The 20-session study puts the roof on the house of masculinity and creates a vision for a man's future and destiny. This study will help men rediscover the adventure in life through a greater understanding of who they are. Men will uncover the uniqueness they have as a man and discover a satisfying life focus.

The message of the gospel Good news The power of God for salvation Forgiven of sin Changed lives Commissioned Pre-resurrection – the Kingdom of God Post-resurrection – witnesses of the resurrection The continuing narrative of the ongoing ministry of Jesus Christ through his people Saved or condemned

Romans 10: But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” You are either a “caller” or a “teller”

Empowered The Message of the Gospel

I. Wait Luke 24:44-49 Stay in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven Acts 1:1-8 In a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you You will be my witnesses

Acts 2 Pentecost – 50 days after Passover – a Jewish Festival – the Feast of Harvest God draws a crowd

Sound of a rushing wind Sound of a rushing wind Appearance of flames of fire Appearance of flames of fire All present filled with the Holy Spirit All present filled with the Holy Spirit Speaking in other languages as the Spirit gave them the ability Speaking in other languages as the Spirit gave them the ability Everyone came running Everyone came running

II. Filled With the Spirit Acts 4:8,13, Filled with the Spirit – resulted boldness Repeated action of filling Compare Ephesians 5:18 Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, (AMPLIFIED – ever be filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit)

Acts 5:29-32 Acts 6:1-7 Acts 7:51-57

A separate experience from salvation Acts 8:4-8, People believed and were baptized People believed and were baptized The Holy Spirit had not yet come upon them The Holy Spirit had not yet come upon them Acts 19:1-7 Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?

The purpose of being filled with the Holy Spirit To be witnesses The power to be witnesses The equipment to be witnesses Gifts of the Spirit – 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Gifts of the Spirit – 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Fruit of the Spirit – Galatians 5:22-23 Fruit of the Spirit – Galatians 5:22-23

III. Qualified 2 Corinthians 3:4-6 Confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ (boldness) Our qualification comes from God He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant Witnesses of the Good News Witnesses of the Good News

Have you asked to be empowered/enabled to be a witness of the good news? Asking for spiritual things – are you making yourself vulnerable to evil spirits?

Luke 11: “You fathers—if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? 12 Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not! 13 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” Who are you asking? What are you asking for?
