CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
SCRIPTURE READING:
Matthew 28: 19-20 | Acts 1: 4-8 | Acts 2: 1-4
Go therefore and
make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that
I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the
age.” Amen.
4 And being
assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem,
but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard
from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with
the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” 6 Therefore, when they had come
together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the
kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or
seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive
power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me
in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
SERMON:
He Is With Us!
Today is Pentecost Sunday, The day God filled His church with His Holy Spirit!
Jesus is with us!
Choices we make determine the outcome of our lives.
A huge task that requires a great vision, and one that no one man,
or even group of men can accomplish. It is too big!
You think you don’t have the resources, the people, the energy, the
vision to do something the Lord is leading you to do, remember,
‘God plus one is a majority!!’ You have all you need!
At Pentecost, we have to look beyond the wind and the tongues of fire.
Jesus was there just as He promised! “…and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28: 20 NKJV
There was no longer a need for a temple, for the power and the
authority of God Himself now lived in those disciples just as He does in us today!
gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
Matthew 25, the Parable of the Talents, the unprofitable servant did not multiply his Lord's land but buried it away.
Matthew 25: 30 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the
outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
The Baton is being passed to you young people. Are you going to run the race and win the prize?
John 4: 34 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of
Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.”
For you young people, it means you hunger to be involved, to be
relevant, to make a difference that will truly transform the lives of others. You can do it as a doctor, or as an engineer, or as an evangelist or missionary. But do it!!

God sent His people out into the world, but first, He gave them
Himself and all the power and grace and they would need to carry His message.
‘God plus one is a majority!!’

We
are responsible for this generation in the world!
Romans
8: 28: 28 And we know that
all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the
called according to His purpose.
John 4: 36-38 36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

John Piper ends that story with a rhyme worth remembering:
Only one life, twill soon be passed,
Only what is done for Christ will last!
Knowledge
and reason are good, but the Gospel must be lived out, it must have living application in
our lives! The cornerstone of Christian discipleship is spending our lives reaching others with the Good News of Jesus Christ!
What
does a man or a woman of God look like? They are a disciple of Jesus
who has allowed Jesus to marry their head and their heart in their lives, and
they go out and shine the light of Jesus everywhere they go.
Every generation is responsible for their generation to reach them with the Gospel of Jesus!The Baton is being passed to you young people. Are you going to run the race and win the prize?

Make
it your life’s call to be a disciple of Jesus and follow Him as He leads you by
His Holy Spirit! God has a great work for you that will have
eternal value!
