Good morning. I'm Andrew. I'm part of the youth group here.
At Christ Church, our scripture reading today is from Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2, verses 1-4, 9-14, and 37-47.
As printed in your liturgy, so you can find it.
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest upon each of them.
All were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus in Asia, Phrygia and Panphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene,
visitors from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs.
We hear them declaring the wonders of God in their own tongues.
Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, What does this mean?
Some, however, made fun of them and said, They have had too much wine.
Then Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd,
Fellow Jews and all you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you.
Listen carefully to what I say.
When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles,
Brothers, what shall we do?
Peter replied, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins,
and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you and for your children and all who are far off, for all whom the Lord will call.
And with many other words he warned them, and he pleaded with them, Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.
Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Everyone was filled with the awe of the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.
All believers were together and had everything in common.
They sold property and possessions to give anyone who had need.
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.
They broke their bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Lord, send the Holy Spirit and amplify my voice.
If you are new to Christ Church, we're doing something new this fall.
In fact, something we've never done before in our almost 17 years together, and that is preaching about revival.
And I've just been sensing the Lord leading us in this direction for quite some time because we were locked down as a church for a year.
Some of us haven't been able to participate in our church for two years or maybe even more.
And our church experienced an incredible amount of change, an incredible amount of challenges in a very short period of time.
And so I've just, in this post-pandemic season, as we're reforming Christ Church with newcomers and old-timers,
with people from Berkeley and Oakland and points north and south and east and west of here,
I just sense the Lord inviting us to preach and to pray for a revival of the Holy Spirit to come and build the church.
To build the church up into an awakened and enlivened and quickened body of Spirit-filled, Spirit-led Christians.
And as we consider the work of the Holy Spirit in the church,
I want to draw your attention to the difference between the ordinary work of the Holy Spirit and the extraordinary work of the Holy Spirit.
Because on the one hand, there's this regular work of the Holy Spirit that's usual, that's quiet, gradual, steady,
and ordinary work to maintain and to extend the kingdom of God among us all the time.
And we praise God for that.
It's like the perpetual dew of God's grace, these little dew drops that form on each individual little blade of grass,
working with each of us in our own way and in our own time.
And then there's the exceptional work of the Holy Spirit,
the unusual, striking, sudden, rapid, extraordinary work of the Spirit to, in the church,
manifest and increase the glory and the power of God in our lives.
And this is not like the dew every day.
This is like the seasonal rain that comes.
And it's this collective, simultaneous work that's happening among us all at the same time
that's just absolutely remarkable.
And so what I'm calling the church to do is to pray not just for the dew, but to pray for the rain,
to pray for the rainy season to come, to pray for a downpour of the Holy Spirit, as it were.
Does that make sense?
So today, in the sermon series so far, we've talked about the urgent need of the church,
at least in the Western world, for revival.
And we've talked about the hindrances to revival and longing for revival and expecting revival.
And today we're talking about the effects of revival.
And what I've been arguing, Andrew and I have been arguing,
that every revival is really a repetition of Pentecost.
And so today we want to take a deeper look at this narrative of when the Holy Spirit came upon the church
so that we might know how to pray that the Holy Spirit would reproduce these effects among us.
And I'm going to try to persuade you over these next few minutes that the ministry of the Spirit produces
or creates a five-fold vitality in His church.
The ministry of the Spirit creates a five-fold vitality in His church.
And let me talk for a few minutes just about the ministry of the Spirit.
It's not that the Holy Spirit had never shown up in the world before the day of Pentecost.
The Spirit had been given to this person here and that person there.
And of course, Jesus Himself was full of the Holy Spirit.
But the Holy Spirit had never been poured out en masse,
had never been outpoured on a group of people in an overwhelming and unexpected and unmistakable way.
And that's what happens at Pentecost.
The Holy Spirit comes down on this small congregation of about 120 disciples, about this size group.
And we're told in verse 1 that when the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Why? Why were they there? What were they doing?
Well, they were praying.
Because the resurrected Jesus had told them to go and to wait to be clothed with power from on high.
And so Acts 1.14 tells us that they joined together constantly in prayer.
Praying for the Holy Spirit.
Praying to be clothed with power from on high.
And there's no revival without this kind of praying.
No revival without joining constantly in prayer.
Lord, clothe us with this power from on high.
Well, look at what happens in verse 2.
Suddenly a sound, like the blowing of a violent wind, came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
And they saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
So the sound in their ears was like a category 5, you know, hurricane force winds.
And the sense to their eyes was like flames of fire.
And perhaps in this moment they're remembering John the Baptist who said,
One is going to come who's going to baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire.
And maybe they're like, oh, that's terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time.
Well, what does this wind and this fire mean?
Well, there are signs to us that the Holy Spirit is this raw, wild, untamable power that unleashes among us the uncreated energies of God.
So that when the Holy Spirit comes, what happens?
Well, the same Spirit that brought order to the chaos of creation at the beginning,
the same Spirit that came to the dead body of Jesus and gave it life and raised him up to immortality and indestructibility,
that Spirit comes upon the church and it affects two major changes among Jesus' disciples.
Before Pentecost, as we know, these apostles were weak.
They were helpless.
They were afraid.
But what happens after Pentecost?
After Pentecost, they're filled with this blazing power.
Look at Peter and his courage.
He had denied his Lord.
And yet now he's facing fearlessly this hostile crowd and the power of the authorities that can put him to death.
And he doesn't seem to care.
These people who had been hiding, men and women hiding behind locked doors for fear of the authorities,
are now out there.
They go out and they turn the whole Roman Empire upside down.
How do we explain that change?
It's a miracle.
The Spirit of God came down.
And when the Holy Spirit came,
the resurrected, ascended, and enthroned Lord Jesus,
through the Spirit,
was giving his power and his authority and his energy
to all the people who were trusting in him and calling on him and following him.
That's what Pentecost is about.
And that's really what revival is all about.
That the Holy Spirit comes to listless and lifeless believers.
And he puts a fresh wind and a fresh fire in our hearts
so that we are experiencing in a new way
the fullness and the abundance of life in our resurrected Lord Jesus.
Does that make sense?
But you know, what else happens beyond that?
They not only have a new power and a new life and a new courage,
but we're told in verse 4 that all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
This Holy Spirit came dancing on the disciples in tongues of fire
to enable the church to find her tongue,
to enable the church to open her mouth and speak words
and utter rational, intelligent, coherent, persuasive words
in language that everybody could understand
and that was relevant to their lives.
You know, many people think that when the Holy Spirit comes
he's going to turn me into a Marvel superhero.
But that's not what the Holy Spirit does.
What happens when the Holy Spirit comes
is that people come under his speaking ministry,
under his truth ministry.
So that in verse 11, they say,
we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues.
When the Holy Spirit comes, people can hear
about the wonderful works of God in and through Jesus
in a fresh way like they've never heard it before.
They can hear about the mighty acts of God,
the saving deeds of God to intervene into our lives
and to come and turn fallen, ruined,
sin-soaked creatures like us into new creations.
And that's what happens to Peter in verse 14.
It says, Peter stood up with the 11
and he raised his voice and addressed the crowd.
Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem,
let me explain this to you.
Listen carefully to what I say.
And when the Holy Spirit comes,
the Spirit produces this five-point sermon from Peter.
You can read about it later.
Peter gives them a sermon about the scriptures
and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
That's what happens when the Spirit comes.
Do you remember Jesus' favorite name for the Holy Spirit?
The Spirit of truth.
The Spirit brings a new power on the church
to declare the truth of the gospel.
And after Peter gets done with this long five-point sermon,
he kept everybody late.
They had to get to lunch late.
It was really annoying.
What does it say in verse 37?
It says, when the people heard this,
they were cut to the heart
and said to Peter and the other apostles,
brothers, what shall we do?
See, the Holy Spirit brings this truth
that we are sinners and Jesus alone can save us.
And that truth begins to penetrate beneath the surface,
beyond the superficial and the shallow stuff,
down to the real stuff,
down to what matters most,
down to the deepest human heart problems
and heart needs that we have.
And so I just want to say that if you're here today
and you're exploring Christianity,
we are so glad that you've come to do that here,
but I have to warn you
that part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit
is to cut you to your heart.
The Spirit of Truth wants to come
and give you a painful, piercing truth,
an uncomfortable and even inconvenient truth,
a demanding and a challenging truth.
The Holy Spirit wants to come and convince you
of the plight of your sin
and of the power of Christ to save you.
And the Holy Spirit wants to come and cut your heart
so that you can see how desperate you are before God
and that you might cry out to Him
like these people cried out,
what shall we do?
What shall we do?
And if you're someone here today
who identifies as a Christian
and if you're praying for revival
and you want more of the Holy Spirit,
I want to warn you,
be careful what you pray for
because this Spirit of Truth wants to deal with you
and wants to deal with the things in your mind
and the things in your life
that are not in line with the truth of the gospel.
He wants to come and blow through your life
like a fresh wind.
He wants to blaze through your life like a fire.
The Holy Spirit wants to come
and give you a new energy and power
and authority and courage
like we see our brothers and sisters had
in those first days.
In fact, the Holy Spirit wants to come
and He wants to open your mouth
so that you too can speak the truth
of the gospel to other people
so that you too can declare
the wonderful works of God in Christ
and so that you, like Peter, can say,
let me explain this to you.
So I invite us to examine ourselves this morning.
Whether we're exploring Christianity
or whether we identify as Christian,
do I really want this ministry of the Holy Spirit?
Do I really want the Holy Spirit to cut me?
And do I really want the Holy Spirit to change me?
Because when revival comes, that's what happens.
And it doesn't just happen to an individual here,
an individual there.
It happens to whole communities all at one time.
That's the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
And the ministry of the Spirit comes,
and we notice in this text that
the Spirit creates a five-fold vitality in the church.
The Spirit comes and creates a five-fold vitality
in His church.
And a church that's not in revival
might be strong in one or two of these areas,
but when the Holy Spirit comes
and revival is happening,
He creates a vitality in all five of these areas
simultaneously, and that is this.
Vibrant worship, intimate fellowship,
doctrinal teaching, biblical evangelism,
and compassionate social concern.
A church is ordinarily maybe strong
at one or two of these,
but when the Holy Spirit comes,
He brings alive all five,
and I want to talk about each one for a moment.
First of all, vibrant worship.
We're told in verse 42 that
they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching
and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread,
and to prayer, or in the Greek it says
to the prayers, which means
they devoted themselves to prayer in private,
in their closet at home,
where they prayed before the Father
who's unseen and sees what's done in secret.
But they also committed themselves
to these public gatherings of prayer
when the church would come together
and plead with God about particular things.
They devoted themselves to this,
and it says in verse 46
that every day they continued to meet together
in the temple courts.
They broke bread in their homes
and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
praising God.
They met in both the temple and in homes,
this balance between the organic and the organized,
the formal and the informal.
They said we don't just need
the large congregation of the temple,
we also need the smaller groups in our homes.
We need both.
And the church committed themselves,
it says, daily to pray,
not just one prayer meeting a month.
They had 30 prayer meetings a month.
And if we're gonna have revival in this place,
we've gotta pray more at home,
and we've gotta pray more at church.
And that's why we've created opportunities
for us to do that here on Sunday mornings,
Tuesday nights,
second Wednesday of the month
is our even song and prayer.
We had 30 people last time.
I hope we'll have 120 people next time.
And if you missed it,
I'd love for you to come and join us.
But it says here that they,
in their vibrant worship,
with a glad heart they praised God.
There was an exuberant, unfiltered joy.
Because God the Father has sent his Son
and his Spirit to save us,
how can we not be joyful?
Isn't the fruit of the Holy Spirit joy?
I mean, I don't know about you,
but a few times in my life,
I've walked into a worship service,
and I thought,
oh no, I've come to a funeral by mistake.
You know, nobody's smiling,
the music is slow,
it's all in a minor key,
it sounds like a dirge,
and I'm like, cheer up.
You know, because Jesus died,
but spoiler alert,
he rose from the dead.
So we should sing boldly,
and robustly,
and loudly,
and joyfully,
and with one voice,
like that choir that was up here.
We should all be the choir.
Amen?
But there's a reverent rejoicing,
because it says in verse 43
that they were filled with awe.
And the reason they were filled with awe
is because they sensed
the power and the presence of God,
this high and holy God,
and he was doing wonders and signs among them.
And that caused them
to just fall on their knees
with a sense of awe before God,
and that's what happens in revival.
The Holy Spirit comes,
and we have both glad praise
and reverent fear
with continual prayer.
The ministry of the Spirit
creates this vibrancy,
this vitality in worship.
But he also creates
this intimate fellowship, right?
These first Christians
were not living as isolated individualists.
They said,
we need each other.
And when it says
that they devoted themselves
to fellowship,
that means they committed
their most precious resource
of their time.
They said,
the church family
is going to be more important to us
than any other potential
time investment out there.
That God and the people of God
are going to be our top priority
in our scheduling
and our organizing.
That we're not going to waste
any time on anything
that's not worthy of our time.
Well, what did they do
when they came and met together
every morning and every evening
before and after work?
They devoted themselves
to fellowship,
or that word in Greek
is koinonia.
And what it does not mean
in Greek is
they devoted themselves
to hang out over coffee.
Because the word means
they devoted themselves
to a sharing in common.
And what is it
that they were sharing in common?
These were not affinity groups.
They were not shared interests.
They did not say,
oh, you like IPAs?
So do I.
Oh, you like novels?
So do I.
Oh, you like the NBA?
You like to knit?
You like politics?
So do I.
It was not a sharing
in those things.
Though I like some of those things.
What were they sharing in common?
They were sharing in common
the grace of the Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
They were sharing in common
the divine and eternal life
of God Himself among them.
They were sharing in common
the abundant eternal life
of Christ within them.
Their common shared participation in God
gave them a common shared life together.
I don't know if you've ever read this book
called The Pursuit of God
by A.W. Tozer,
but he says this.
He says,
Has it ever occurred to you
that 100 pianos,
all tuned to the same fork,
are automatically tuned to each other?
They are of one accord
by being tuned,
not to each other,
but to another standard
to which one must individually bow.
So 100 worshipers met together,
each one looking away to Christ,
are in heart nearer to each other
than they could possibly be
were they to become unity conscience
and turn their eyes away from God
and strive for a closer fellowship.
And you see, in revival,
what happens is that the whole church
becomes tuned to the fork of Christ
and Him crucified.
And because we're tuned to that fork,
we, without even thinking,
we just start sacrificially giving ourselves
to love and serve each other
because that's what He did for us.
So when the Spirit comes,
He creates this five-fold vitality,
vibrant worship,
intimate fellowship,
doctrinal teaching is the third thing.
In verse 43,
it says that they devoted themselves
to the apostles' teaching.
When they got together for worship
and for fellowship,
they came to fix their attention
on the divine truth
that had been given from the Father
through Jesus
by the Holy Spirit
to the apostles.
These spirit-filled Christians
were not enjoying among themselves
a mystical experience
that caused them to neglect their intellect
and to stop thinking
and to despise theology.
Rather, the fullness of the Spirit
caused them to engage their minds
in the truth of divine revelation.
And that's one of the great tests
to know whether or not
you have the Spirit
and are full of the Holy Spirit
is do you give any time
to seek the truth
that's been given through the apostles
in the New Testament?
These are the authoritative teachers
that Jesus taught.
And don't we wish
that we could have been part of those sessions,
right,
where Jesus is interpreting the Bible to them,
where Jesus is telling them,
here are the words
and the works
and the ways of God.
Well, friends,
in a way,
we can be a part of that
because it's been preserved
for us in the New Testament.
What we see here
is that the Spirit of God
leads the people of God
to submit to the Word of God.
One of the great
living New Testament scholars
of our time
is N.T. Wright
and he says this,
he says,
where no attention
is given to apostolic
doctrinal teaching
and to constant
lifelong Christian learning,
people quickly revert
to the worldview
or mindset
of the surrounding culture
and end up with their minds
shaped by whichever
social pressures
are most persuasive
with Jesus somewhere around
as a pale influence
or memory.
And haven't we seen
that happen in the church
in North America
over the last three years,
five years,
seven years,
whenever you want to start
the clock, right?
But a church that's in revival
when the Holy Spirit comes
is a people
that's soaking in this truth
and this doctrinal teaching
of the New Testament.
Now, you might say,
gosh, you're almost,
we hopefully,
you're almost at the end
of your sermon,
but why have you only talked
about the interior life
of the church so far?
I mean, why haven't you said
anything about the compassionate
outreach of the church
to the outside world?
And you're right.
When revival happens,
when the Holy Spirit comes,
he brings in the church
this balance
where she's devoted
both to nurturing
her interior life
of God's people
and to meeting
the exterior needs
of the city,
both spiritual needs
and material needs.
But I do want to say
that there's a priority here.
There's a priority
of interior worship
and fellowship
and teaching
because those things
are what energizes
and what directs
all the rest of the stuff
out there.
If we don't have anything
going on in here,
we can't start
to sustain things out there.
And that's the fourth thing
I want to bring up
is that the Holy Spirit
comes and brings about
biblical evangelism.
And again,
we have a priority here
before compassionate
social concern
because people's material needs
are a signpost
to their deeper
and more urgent
spiritual needs
that are eternal
and ultimate things.
We believe at this church
that people are not
just bodies
but they're immortal souls
who are going to stand
before the judge
of all the earth.
And that's why this text
is so excited
to tell us
in verse 47
that the Lord
was adding to their number
daily
those who were being saved.
What does that mean?
Saved from what?
Rescued to what?
Well, if you go later
this afternoon
and you read
Peter's gospel preaching
at Pentecost,
you'll get the answer.
He basically tells them
that you are more sinful
and flawed
than you ever dared imagine
and you're more accepted
and loved
than you ever dared hope.
And that's basically
what verse 38 is saying.
Peter replied,
repent and be baptized
every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness
of your sins
and you will receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit.
He says,
repent of your sins.
All evangelism,
all sharing of the gospel
has to say that.
That you are living
in the bondage
of sin and death.
That you need to be saved
from that.
That you cannot save yourself
and if you were to die
right now,
you'd go unprotected
before the judgment of God
and you would perish forever.
That's what Peter's
just told them.
But then he tells them,
that's why you must be immersed.
You must be immersed
into Jesus
who's the only one
who can deal with your sin.
The only one
who's died in your place.
The only one
who can forgive you.
Jesus is the only one
who can give you
the Holy Spirit
to come and indwell you
and get the mercy of God
and the love of God
inside of you
so you can experience
its power.
This is Holy Spirit
inspired evangelism.
It's based on these two truths
that number one,
God is holy
and his law is just
and you fall far short of it.
But number two,
that God is loving
and that in Jesus
he's dealt with your sin
and you can be totally forgiven
and accepted.
And I have to say
that a church
that is all about acceptance
and all about grace
and all about God's love
and they never tell you
about the law of God
or his wrath on sin
or the reality of hell
and the justice of hell,
that's not a very loving church.
It's actually,
it's not a church in revival.
But a church
that's only ever telling you
what's wrong with you,
that you're guilty,
that you need to be repent
and they're not telling you
that Jesus wants to accept you,
that Jesus can give you
the freedom of forgiveness
and the power of the Holy Spirit,
that church is also not in revival.
When the Holy Spirit comes
he brings these two truths to bear
and the evangelism,
the biblical evangelism
of the early church
included both.
And what we know
is that it led to
exponential,
explosive conversions
that changed the whole
Roman Empire.
prayer.
Now the final thing
I want to say
is that there's one
more mark
of Holy Spirit vitality
that we see in revival.
Vibrant worship,
intimate fellowship,
doctrinal teaching,
biblical evangelism,
and finally,
compassionate social concern.
It says that in verse 42,
they devoted themselves
to breaking bread.
That is the Lord's Supper
where the Lord comes to us
and he says,
hey, everybody,
I want you
and I welcome you
into a personal relationship
with me.
And people were so transformed
by that experience
that they would go out
and they would say that
to their neighbors.
Hey, I want you to come
and be in personal relationship
with me.
In verse 44,
it says all the believers
were together
and they had everything
in common.
They sold property
and possessions
to give to anyone
who had need
because the fruit
of the Holy Spirit
is love.
And when needs
would arise,
they would practice
this radical,
voluntary generosity
where they said,
you know,
the Father shared
his son
and the son shared
his life with us
so by the Holy Spirit,
we're going to share
all the things
that we have
to meet real needs
among our brothers
and sisters.
But they didn't stop there.
They just kept extending
that principle
of generosity
and care
out to everybody.
People that were
radically different
than them
socially,
racially,
economically.
I love this
statement
from Rodney Stark.
He's a sociologist
that wrote a book
called The Rise of Christianity
and he paints
this bleak picture
of the misery
and brutality
of life
in the Greco-Roman world
and he says,
to cities
filled with the homeless
and impoverished,
Christianity offered
charity
as well as hope.
And to cities
filled with newcomers
and strangers,
Christianity offered
an immediate basis
for attachments.
And to cities
filled with orphans
and widows,
Christianity provided
a new and expanded
sense of family.
And to cities
torn by violent
ethnic strife,
Christianity offered
a new basis
for social solidarity.
And to cities
faced with epidemics,
fires,
and earthquakes,
Christianity offered
effective
nursing services.
Friends,
in revival,
when the Holy Spirit
comes,
He leaves in His wake
orphanages
and hospitals
and schools
and the abolition
of slavery
and the reform
of child labor laws
and the reform
of prisons
and factories
and the rescue
of women and children
from abuse
and the care
of the mentally ill.
If you just go
and read about
what God's done
and how the Holy Spirit
works in revival,
you'll see that pattern
over and over
and over again.
And don't we want
to be a part of that?
Christ Church,
don't we want
this five-fold vitality,
vibrant worship,
intimate fellowship,
doctrinal teaching,
biblical evangelism,
compassionate social concern?
I want to give you
a moment just to speak
with the Holy Spirit.
I know we're
a Presbyterian church
so I know that's crazy.
But I want you
to ask the Holy Spirit
a question right now.
Holy Spirit,
how do you want
to create
this five-fold vitality
in my life?
What are you wanting to do?
Is there anything
in my life
that's grieving you?
Anything that might be
quenching the work
that you're trying to do?
Is there anything
in me that's hindering
you from carrying out
your will in my life?
Holy Spirit,
is there anything
you want me to stop doing?
Is there anything
you want me to start doing?
And if as you ask
that question,
you sense a prompting
from the Holy Spirit,
you sense that the Spirit
is saying something to you,
write it down.
Don't forget it.
Go home today
and pray about it.
Ask God to do some work
in your life
because He needs
to do work in my life
if we're going to experience
revival at Christ Church.
If we want the Holy Spirit
to come down
not just as the dew
but as the rain,
as a downpour
of showers
of God's grace among us.
May it be so.
In the name of the Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen.
