When God Shows Up (2 of 12)
Series: Unstoppable
Joey Rodgers
Acts 2:1-41
Last Sunday we began a new series in the book of Acts entitled - Unstoppable. The heart of this series is built on a promise Jesus made to His disciples that upon His departure, He was going to provide them w/ an amazing gift - the H.S. And once they received this gift they were going to initiate an unstoppable movement that'd carry the good news of God's love and Jesus sacrifice into the world.
But what does it mean to be unstoppable? It means it can't be stopped. Here the truth - this side of heaven there are few things which are truly unstoppable.
Time is unstoppable. It seems like yesterday I ran a 4.5 forty and was able to dunk a basketball, graduated from school, lived in Europe, started my 1st job, got married, started a family, and sported a full head of hair. Now I'm a middle-aged balding, fat-boy who pulls a hammy running the forty and needs a ladder to touch the net. Where has time gone!
What else is unstoppable? Apparently this year it's the McI football team who for the 1st time in school history are 5-0.
Remind: You will receive power when the H.S. comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the world. Acts 1:8
So in Acts 1:8, we discover the one thing God intended to be unstoppable - the church. From inception, the church was to be nothing less than a movement of the H.S. It was never intended to be a work of man but an unstoppable work of God - a movement powered by the H.S. to give witness to the belief that Jesus died as God's solution to sin and that He arose from the grave to prove He was who He said He was and did what He said He'd do - to rescue humanity from sin.
So the H.S. is essential element in this endeavor. He is the one who empowers, guides, and employs God's people in this unstoppable commission. Our real role is to follow His lead. (Art's dad's funeral)
