The Big Day

The Big Day
Pastor Blake Hanson | 7.20.22

Two big reasons we lack Holy Spirit empowerment: 

1)  

Matthew 28:18–20 (NLT)

18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 

19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 

20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

2)  

Acts 1:4–5 (NLT)

4 Once when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. 

5 John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

Acts 1:8 (NLT)

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 2:1–13 (NLT)

1 On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 

2  Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 

3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 

4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability. 

5 At that time there were devout Jews from every nation living in Jerusalem. 

6 When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers. 

7 They were completely amazed. “How can this be?” they exclaimed. “These people are all from Galilee, 

8 and yet we hear them speaking in our own native languages! 

9 Here we are—Parthians, Medes, Elamites, people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, the province of Asia, 

10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the areas of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome 

11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism), Cretans, and Arabs. And we all hear these people speaking in our own languages about the wonderful things God has done!” 

12 They stood there amazed and perplexed. “What can this mean?” they asked each other. 

13 But others in the crowd ridiculed them, saying, “They’re just drunk, that’s all!”

When we live Spirit empowered lives there is… 

1)  

Acts 2:1 (NLT)

1 On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 

2)

Acts 2:2–4 (NLT)

2  Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 

3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 

4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.

Exodus 19:18 (NLT)

18 All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the Lord had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a brick kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently.

Genesis 3:8 (NLT)

8 When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees.

3)  

Acts 2:5–6 (NLT)

5 At that time there were devout Jews from every nation living in Jerusalem. 

6 When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers.

Acts 2:13 (NLT)

13 But others in the crowd ridiculed them, saying, “They’re just drunk, that’s all!”

4)   

Acts 2:7–12 (NLT)

7 They were completely amazed. “How can this be?” they exclaimed. “These people are all from Galilee, 

8 and yet we hear them speaking in our own native languages! 

9 Here we are—Parthians, Medes, Elamites, people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, the province of Asia, 

10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the areas of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome 

11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism), Cretans, and Arabs. And we all hear these people speaking in our own languages about the wonderful things God has done!” 

12 They stood there amazed and perplexed. “What can this mean?” they asked each other.
