The Ascension (Acts 1:4-14) - A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

[@karenbeardwilson]

Every time I hear Dr. Sproul, I learn something new. Something to keep in my mind, my heart and my soul. This Great Commission understood much more, the 2nd time around on this sermon. Praise God - the reason we are here❗️A new earth ruled by Jesus, righteousness. Amen

I have no question, I could only thank him for his finished work on the cross, and saving me from the sins of my flesh!

Thank You Lord Jesus for living for me and for dying for my sins and for forgiving me my many sins and for rescuing me from eternal death, a deatg that would be final and away from the You Lord Jesus. Thank you for being my ruler and for empowering me to be a witness to You who lives on High seated at the Right Hand of the Father God. Thank You Lord Jesus for your great people the Jews and Isreal. Thank You Lord Jesus for my family who are saved and thank You Lord Jesus for the Church and its great Pastors who you Lord God have left them to help us see You more clearly to obey You. Thank You Lord Jesus for King David and You being descended from his line. Thank You Lord Jesus for being our Master and we your slaves. Thank You Lord Jesus for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Your Great 12 Jewish Disciples.

One last thing: We are told in 1 Corinthians 13:4 that love is PATIENT. If you truly love Jesus the Messiah, be patient with Him. He will come when it's time for Him to get us, and then 7 years later (when the Great Tribulation is over). And just think: His true children will be standing right behind Him at that time!

@@mpr4christ1980 “Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.” Revelation 3:10 I will be with Him before the 7 years tribulation is over. This is His promise to be in the Holy Scriptures above. RAPTURE 🎈 I am leaving not on a jet plane But in A HEAVENLY JESUS CHRIST HOLY SPIRIT TWINKLING OF AN EYE WE WILL BE CAUGHT UP TO MEET HIM IN THE AIR Caught up to meet Him Caught up to greet Him Singing joy and happiness peace is mine One day in glory we’ll tell the story caught u to meet Him in the air And there we will ever be with the Lord🫡🎈

It is Satan that keeps man blind to God's word: Jesus cried saying, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24). Jesus said “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him,” meaning God's power and spirit (John 6:44). Jesus said “For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that *I came out from thee,* and they have believed that thou didst send me” (John 17:8). Only those who believe God has sent Jesus will have eternal life (John 17:3).

If one knows satan, they also know God. They are not blind, we those in the human flesh have a choice.

I disagree with the gun part of his sermon. Jesus never used anything but His faith that the Will of the Father would come to pass in His life. Whether that be an ability to escape a mob wanting to stone Him, a beating or a crucifixion. He trusted Father yo know what was best. And the WHOLE reason Jesus had Peter bring a sword was to teach the lesson He taught in the garden. "The cup the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?" And later, in captivity, he told Pilot, "you can have no power over me unless the Father in heaven give it."

[@insearchof9903]

Why is he saying church? Jesus never said anything about a church. These people weren't a part of any churches or religions. Jesus said for them to preach the good news of the coming of the kingdom of GOD and the holy Spirit was with them.

[@lcollins4313]

Keep listening to the Epistles, Apostle Paul does mention the church, because he was sent to the Gentiles. Most of the NT is Apostle Paul’s letters to the church.

[@johnadams3673]

Never read this verse from Matthew? “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Jesus uses the same word that is all throughout Paul’s epistles, ecclesia. Get yourself into a good Bible teaching, balanced and loving congregation/church/body of believers and learn more carefully and humbly.

[@insearchof9903]

@johnadams3673 You do the same. There were no churches at the time he mentioned this.
