Acts 1:12-26 ~ The Waiting Room ~ Carl Crouse

6/30/2020

​The book of ACTS describes the upheaval of the lives of the followers of Jesus as they transition from life with Christ on earth to life with the ascended Christ and the sending of the H.S.  I really like thinking of the word ACTS as AXE….
 
Today’s message: The waiting room.  The setting of this scripture: the disciples are between the lightning ascension of Jesus, and the thundering day of Pentecost.  They are told by Jesus in Acts 1:4 to go to the waiting room.  READ. Waiting rooms do not normally evoke warm and fuzzy thoughts… Newsflash: waiting is part of our discipleship.  “WAIT” is a command of Jesus.   I found a great description by Max Lucado of what its like to be in a waiting room:

Acts 1:1-11 ~ Everything New (Intro to Acts) ~ Carl Crouse

​The Axe of the Holy Spirit. A-X-E.  When the Holy Spirit takes an axe to everything you know, and leads you in a new direction, it is painful, however, if we have eyes to see rightly, it is a beautiful place to be, everything new. The traditional name for the book we begin today: “The Acts of the Apostles” referring to the followers of Jesus coming into their own after the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus.  Many people have made the point that Acts of the Apostles could easily be called Acts of the Holy Spirit.  “Holy Spirit” is used between 50-60 times in the 28 chapters.

Hebrews 13:1-3 ~ Keep On ~ Carl Crouse

I do my best to accept people where they are, yet see them for what they can be in Christ.  I do my best to walk beside them, understand, love them, listen, yet challenge to overcome their choices, their situations, their demons.  I am honored if I serve as the prison gem they need.

You can be a gem for those that are struggling too.  A 1000 times I’ve told people they need this church family, they need to know people that will love them, accept them for who they are AND challenge them to overcome their demons.  Many need godly mentors, a friend who believes they can find peace with Christ.  People need others that believe they are redeemable, loveable, forgivable...

Acts 12:1-19 ~ Prison Gem: Growing in Faith ~ Carl Crouse ~ May 31, 2020

​Whenever you make a decision to do something new, there is often a romantic excitement as you begin your new adventure ~ go back to school, a marriage, a move, a new job, a new hobby ~ it’s so exciting to tell people about your dreams as you imagine what it will be like.  Then as you begin your journey reality sets in.  You were looking forward to a fresh start, then you discover going to school means homework, money, time, sleepless nights… How you respond when reality hits determines your success in going forward.  It’s fun to officiate at a young couples wedding and watch the faces of the witnesses… a joy to see young love, but seasoned couples that have been through a lifetime of ups and downs know what deep relationships take.

    Carl Crouse, Pastor

    At SACC we believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.  Every Sunday the worship service includes a message from the Bible. My words are an attempt to understand and apply the Bible to our daily living.  I post weekly sermons and other biblical messages on this page. May you find meaning and hope as you read through each message and seek to hear God's voice. Leave a comment to ask questions or inspire others with your insights.

    In general, the previous Sunday's sermon will be posted by Tuesday afternoon.
