Acts 3:1-10 ~ Just Show Up ~ Carl Crouse

7/28/2020

Sally and I were at a leadership conference on Merritt Island, Fl, with TFC, base camp of Teen Missions International.  Merritt Island is in shadow of Kennedy Space Center.  The Odyssey, a probe to Mars, was launched, Apr. 7, 2001.  As the time approached for the launch, all eyes looked to the skies.  Soon we could see a small blur streaking upward in an arc leaving a trail of smoke.  Visually, not much to look at, but the significance of the launch was breathtaking ~ I saw with my own eyes the launch of a probe to Mars.  Even the locals were thrilled saying, “we never get tired of watching.” 

Today, in the book of Acts, the spacecraft is launched.  The day of Pentecost in Acts 2 is over.  The probe/church is readied, on the launch pad.  It’s time for the H.S. to explode.  The ministry of the disciples of Jesus Christ begins in Jerusalem, as Jesus said, READ Acts 1:8.  The Church is on the launching pad.  She is filled with the fuel of the Holy Spirit.  Boom. Take off.

Acts 2:14-41 ~ The Drumbeat of Repentance ~ Carl Crouse

7/28/2020

​Today I reintroduce an ancient phrase I am as guilty as anyone of not using enough: repentant faith.  Deep faith in Christ is more than about Christ blessing us, comforting us, doing good things for us, keeping us safe… the fullness of faith asks the Lord to change us... Repentance means returning to God, with a heart of obedience to walk in His ways!  

Repentant faith is a scary/beautiful phrase ~ turning away from sins and turning towards God.  I love the way one person explains it: “Repentance is not usually a moment wrought in high drama. It is the steady drumbeat of a life in Christ.” (Tish Harrison Warren).  True repentance is a way of life ~ like the steady rhythm of a drumbeat.

Acts 2:1-13 ~ The Day of Pentecost: people can change  ~ Carl Crouse

Two quotations ~ what do you think?
  • “The greatest longing in the church today, stated both directly and indirectly, is the quest for something more than dull religion.” ~Lloyd Ogilvie
  • “What I hear from people today is an agnosticism about the Holy Spirit.  Not disbelief, but an aching, ‘I just don’t know’ – and a longing to understand who He is and how to live in the flow of His power.” ~ Lloyd Ogilvie
The series from Acts: the axe of the H.S.  boom, everything new.  As we face a crazy world of conflict and depression, much of what we’ve known is disappointing, tension within families, within churches, within communities… now is the time to turn to our faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, his promises, his vision.  I want to be clear, the greatest purpose of the church is NOT social justice ~ the greater purpose is to live and share the message of salvation in Jesus Christ:     pray for the Lord to  renew us, revive us, make us whole, send His spirit.  Social wholeness is a part of the greater message, the greatest sense of wholeness, purpose, contentment, comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

    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.
