Title: The Acts of the Holy Spirit


1
The Acts of the Holy Spirit
2
Acts is the Transition from the Gospels to the
Epistles
3
Luke 2445-53
  • 45 Then He opened their minds to understand the
    Scriptures, 46 and He said to them, " Thus it is
    written, that the Christ would suffer and rise
    again from the dead the third day, 47 and that
    repentance for forgiveness of sins would be
    proclaimed in His name to all the nations,
    beginning from Jerusalem.
  • 48 "You are witnesses of these things.

4
  • 49 "And behold, I am sending forth the promise of
    My Father upon you but you are to stay in the
    city until you are clothed with power from on
    high."
  • 50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He
    lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 While He
    was blessing them, He parted from them and was
    carried up into heaven.
  • 52 And they, after worshiping Him, returned to
    Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually
    in the temple praising God.

5
Acts 11-8 NASU
  • The first account I composed, Theophilus, about
    all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the
    day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had
    by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles
    whom He had chosen.

6
  • 3 To these He also presented Himself alive after
    His suffering, by many convincing proofs,
    appearing to them over a period of forty days and
    speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of
    God.

7
  • 4 Gathering them together, He commanded them not
    to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the
    Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard
    of from Me
  • 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be
    baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from
    now."

8
  • 6 So when they had come together, they were
    asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You
    are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
  • 7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know
    times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His
    own authority

9
The Theme of the Book of Acts
  • 8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit
    has come upon you and you shall be My witnesses
    both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
    and even to the remotest part of the earth."

10
Key words throughout
  • Jesus mentioned 71 times
  • The Holy Spirit is mentioned 55 times
  • Witness(es)(ed) used 18 times

11
The Gospel Moves Outward
  • Acts 1-7 Jerusalem/Judea Peter
  • Acts 8 Samaria Peter
  • Acts 9-12 Gentiles Peter
  • Acts 13-21 Uttermost Parts Paul
  • Acts 21-28 Paul at Rome Paul

12
Written by Luke the physician
  • Acts 11
  • The first account I composed, Theophilus, about
    all that Jesus began to do and teach

13
Luke 11-4
  • Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an
    account of the things accomplished among us, 2
    just as they were handed down to us by those who
    from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants
    of the word,
  • 3 it seemed fitting for me as well, having
    investigated everything carefully from the
    beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive
    order, most excellent Theophilus
  • 4 so that you may know the exact truth about the
    things you have been taught.

14
Paul Mentions Luke often
  • Colossians 414 Luke, the beloved physician,
    sends you his greetings, and also Demas.
  • 2 Timothy 411 Only Luke is with me. Pick up Mark
    and bring him with you, for he is useful to me
    for service.
  • Philemon 23-24 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in
    Christ Jesus, greets you, 24 as do Mark,
    Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow workers.

15
Luke uses We and Us throughout
  • Acts 1610-17 10 When he had seen the vision,
    immediately we sought to go into Macedonia,
    concluding that God had called us to preach the
    gospel to them.
  • Acts 205-15
  • Acts 211-18
  • Acts 271-2816

16
  • Luke most likely a Gentile making him the only
    gentile author of the bible
  • He has been linked to Antioch and Phillipi
  • Possibly a relative of Paul
  • Romans 1621
  • Timothy my fellow worker greets you, and so do
    Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

Timeline from C. Peter Wagner

  • 32 Phillip goes to Samaria
  • 33 Saul (Paul) is converted
  • 47-48 Pauls first missionary Journey
  • 61-63 Paul in prison in Rome
  • 63 Book of Acts written

18
Acts likely written B/4 Pauls death
  • Eusebius of Caesarea states that Paul was
    beheaded in the reign of the Roman Emperor Nero.
    This event has been dated either to the year 64,
    when Rome was devastated by a fire, or a few
    years later, to 67.

19
Acts 11-8 NASU
  • The first account I composed, Theophilus, about
    all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the
    day when He was taken up to heaven, after He had
    by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles
    whom He had chosen.

20
Great Commission
  • And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "
    All authority has been given to Me in heaven and
    on earth. " Go therefore and make disciples of
    all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
    the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
    teaching them to observe all that I commanded
    you and lo, I am with you always, even to the
    end of the age."
  • Matthew 2818-20

21
Mark 1615-20
  • 15 And He said to them, " Go into all the world
    and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 " He
    who has believed and has been baptized shall be
    saved but he who has disbelieved shall be
    condemned.
  • 17 "These signs will accompany those who have
    believed in My name they will cast out demons,
    they will speak with new tongues 18 they will
    pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly
    poison, it will not hurt them they will lay
    hands on the sick, and they will recover."

22
  • 19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to
    them, He was received up into heaven and sat down
    at the right hand of God.
  • 20 And they went out and preached everywhere,
    while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed
    the word by the signs that followed.

23
Luke 2446-48
  • 46 and He said to them, " Thus it is written,
    that the Christ would suffer and rise again from
    the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance
    for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in
    His name to all the nations, beginning from
    Jerusalem.
  • 48 "You are witnesses of these things.
