Spirit-Filled Preaching (1 of 9)
Series: Acts
Marion Clark
Acts 2:12-39
Introduction: In seminary, one of our required courses to take is homiletics, otherwise known as preaching. We learn how to put together a sermon. We eventually have to prepare our own sermons, preach them, and then have the sermons critiqued by professor and fellow students. This morning, we will take the apostle Peter through a critique of the first recorded sermon preached in the new church.
This sermon was preached on the first day of the church's birth at Pentecost. The Holy Spirit had come down upon the disciples, so that they left the house where they had been meeting and began to preach their individual sermons about ''the mighty works of God'' in the languages of their hearers-Jewish visitors from countries and regions around the Mediterranean, who had gathered for the feast of Pentecost. We pick up the narrative from there.
Text
And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, ''What does this mean?'' 13 But others mocking said, ''They are filled with new wine.''
Peter, the representative head of the disciples, now takes the opportunity to deliver his sermon. Even though he delivers it spontaneously under the movement of the Holy Spirit, we will see how his Spirit-filled sermon is a well-structured exposition of Scripture. No doubt his homiletics professor would have given him an A+ for his well-thought-out structure. There is an introduction, followed by a three-point message, with a conclusion that makes an appeal for action. First, the introduction.
Introduction: What's Happening
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: ''Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.
