04-26-2026 Speaking the Word of the Lord (Acts 16:16-34)

Speaking the Word of the LordActs 16:16-34 Acts 13:9 But Saul—also called Paul—filled with the Holy Spirit, stared straight at Elymas Acts 6:6 They had them stand before the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. Acts 16:11-1511 From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, the next day to Neapolis, 12 and from there to Philippi, a Roman colony and a leading city of the district of Macedonia. We stayed in that city for several days. 13 On the Sabbath day we went outside the city gate by the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and spoke to the women gathered there. 14 A God-fearing woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying. 15 After she and her household were baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us. Acts 16:16-1816 Once, as we were on our way to prayer, a slave girl met us who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She made a large profit for her owners by fortune-telling. 17 As she followed Paul and us she cried out, “These men, who are proclaiming to you a way of salvation, are the servants of the Most High God.” 18 She did this for many days.Paul was greatly annoyed. Turning to the spirit, he said, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out right away. πυθων- python“…who had a python spirit…” Acts 16:19-3419 When her owners realized that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities. 20 Bringing them before the chief magistrates, they said, “These men are seriously disturbing our city. They are Jews 21 and are promoting customs that are not legal for us as Romans to adopt or practice.” 22 The crowd joined in the attack against them, and the chief magistrates stripped off their clothes and ordered them to be beaten with rods. 23 After they had severely flogged them, they threw them in jail, ordering the jailer to guard them carefully. 24 Receiving such an order, he put them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the jail were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s chains came loose. 27 When the jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison standing open, he drew his sword and was going to kill himself, since he thought the prisoners had escaped.28 But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Don’t harm yourself, because we’re all here!”29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He escorted them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him along with everyone in his house. 33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds. Right away he and all his family were baptized. 34 He brought them into his house, set a meal before them, and rejoiced because he had come to believe in God with his entire household. • These stories show us the assurance found in following the Holy Spirit’s guidance.• When we listen to the Spirit, the Lord’s ‘no’ becomes part of His ultimate ‘yes.’• Being guided by the Spirit involves risk.• There’s no better place to be than in the center of God’s movement. How do we follow God's 'Yes'?1. Be ready to be surprised by God.2. Be flexible and willing to adjust to God’s work.3. Embrace the Lord’s ‘no.’4. Pray expectant prayers and be ready to step out of your comfort zone.

04-12-2026 Bestowing the Spirit (John 20:19-31)

Bestowing the SpiritJohn 20:19-31 John 20:19-3119 When it was evening on that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because they feared the Jews. Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be with you.”20 Having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.” 22 After saying this, he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”24 But Thomas (called “Twin”), one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples were telling him, “We’ve seen the Lord!”But he said to them, “If I don’t see the mark of the nails in his hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe.”26 A week later his disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Don’t be faithless, but believe.”28 Thomas responded to him, “My Lord and my God!”29 Jesus said, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.”30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. 31 But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. The Mission of God (Mission Dei)1. God, who is love, is missional and has a mission.2. Scripture bears witness to God’s mission.3. The church is called and sent to participate in this mission. “Peace be with you.”Having said this, he showed them his hands and his side.“Peace be with you.” John 20:22-2322 After saying this, he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” John 20:28 Thomas responded to him, “My Lord and my God!” 1. God has a mission, and the church is called and sent to participate in this mission.2. As disciples, we are called and sent by the power of the Holy Spirit (20:21). Who is it that you are seeking?• Rabboni! My Teacher! (vs. 16)• “I have seen the Lord.” (vs. 18)• “...the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.” (vs. 20)• “We’ve seen the Lord!” (vs. 25)• “My Lord and my God!” (vs. 28) John 20:23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” 1. God has a mission, and the church is called and sent to participate in this mission.2. As disciples, we are called and sent by the power of the Holy Spirit (20:21).3. In our “sent-ness,” we are given a task– forgiveness and retaining. To forgive (aphiemi)to release, to dismiss John 20:31 But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. Sin is taken away when unbelief is removed, and people are restored to a relationship with God. To retain (krateō)to hold to account John 15:26-27 26 “When the Counselor comes, the one I will send to you from the Father —the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—he will testify about me. 27 You also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. 1. God has a mission, and the church is called and sent to participate in this mission.2. As disciples, we are called and sent by the power of the Holy Spirit (20:21).3.
