Living in Holy Anticipation Acts 1:1-11 - 2/21/21 - Gearl Spicer As you think about your own life experiences, think about this question. Do you remember the last time you experienced a major life change? In Acts 1, verses 7-8 says, He said to them, It is not for you to know times or epochs the Father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power when The Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and Samaria, and even the ...remotest part of the earth. And verse 11 says, They also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky. There are 4 points I want you to see today. Here are the radical changes that led to an amazing future. First, Grasping the blessing of the resurrectionvs. 1-3. a. Orders are given to be obeyed (how effective are you at carrying the message to others?); b. Suffering opened the door to the kingdom (it motivates us to accomplish His work in us); and c. All the preparation was for effectiveness (position yourself to understand the message). The second point is, Listening to instructions led to Holy Spirit powervs. 4-5, 8a. a. He keeps His promises; b. He speaks clearly to our hearts; and c.

Reflecting Spiritual Excellence II Timothy 4:1-8 - 2/14/21 - Gearl Spicer I have two questions for you today. Who do you listen to regarding God’s Word? And, what are you looking for in the future? Our Kairos moments will come as we carefully evaluate who we listen to and who we look for in life.... Let’s look at II Timothy 4:3, which says, For the TIME will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires. Verse 6 says, For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the TIME of departure has come. And lastly, we see in verse 8, In the future is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day, and not to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing. As we dive into our text today, I want you to see two distinctive points. First is the CALL TO BALANCE A TRUE REALITY - vs. 1-4. There are three things to grasp here. 1. Never compromise your calling; 2. Live with distinctive convictions - a. Reprove convey your conviction, b. Rebukewarn people, and c. Exhortappeal the reality of the plan God has for you. And the last point, 3. Recognize the signs of falling away. The second distinctive point is to ANTICIPATE A BRILLIANT FUTURE - vs. 5-8. There are 3 things I want you to grasp here as well. 1. Be alert to every opportunity - a. Never surrender the fight, b. Share the Gospel, c. Finish well. 2. Live out your life calling; and the final point, 3. Look for His return. So today, the question we ask is, What does your life reflect today?
