#231 - Kicking Off Acts: The Continuing Mission of Jesus

Transcript

0:07

You're listening to Al Pastor, the show that helps you love God, love your neighbor and eat more tacos.

I'm your host, Pastor Brian, welcome to the show.

Hey, friends, I want to welcome you to today's podcast.

0:24

In fact, this is the first podcast of 2025, and we are kicking off the book of acts I have in studio with me.

Mr. Noah.

Noah, do you want to greet everybody?

Hello everybody.

Are you excited for the book of Acts?

Yeah, all right.

0:41

What are you excited for the most?

Just to like go through it again now that I'm older.

OK, that's good.

Because it's been when did we, I'm trying to remember.

It was, I think we read the the New Testament chronologically.

It might have been about two years ago.

0:57

I'd have to go back and look to be certain, but we went through the book of Acts, but it maybe it was like a month or two.

Does that sound about right?

I have no clue honestly.

OK.

Well, we're going to be spending a lot of time in here, so. 28.

Weeks 28 weeks Why?

1:12

Why 28 weeks?

Because there's one chapter a week.

Exactly.

So we have 28 chapters all right So what our goal today is Noah's we're going to maybe get through the 1st 8 verses.

Have you first question is, is did you listen to Chapter 1 today yet?

1:30

I have, OK.

And have you done a little bit of study?

For the for the 1st 8 verses, yeah.

OK, that is actually a really good pace now by your own estimation for you as a 14 year old, how long did it take you to read our discipleship guide for the 1st 8 verses?

1:50

Well, I've read the actual commentary on logos, but maybe like anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes if I had to guess all.

Right.

That is actually a really good time frame.

So you would you say you skimmed it or did you read it?

Read it.

The first time I tried to go through it like thoroughly, but then I would like read it like I will, I will, I like I end up reading it again and I how it is some stuff.

2:13

OK, do you have any thoughts or questions?

You don't have to ask them now, but is there anything you got stuck on?

I'm not really stuck on OK.

Well, we're going to, we're going to walk through it very, very slowly.

And for those of you that are listening at home, if you're wondering what are we using for material, we are walking through the book of Acts with a discipleship guide.

2:35

It is a particular resource which is a commentary by a Pentecostal scholar of the name of Stanley Horton, and he's an Assembly of God minister.

And so we will be going through all of his material.

Full disclaimer, you'll probably hear me say this more on more than one occasion.

2:55

There's only one infallible, inspired, inerrant word and that is the Bible, of course, right.

So everything that we read, and I want to train you on this specifically Noah is I'm not trying to instill in you like a spirit of skepticism, but it is a a study of what, when we get to it in the book of Acts of being a Berean, we want to study everything out.

3:21

So you don't take everything at face value, even though you you will find people in your life that you can trust and say, you know, I believe what they're telling me.

You still want to study everything out.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, because for me, if I'll be watching something and then someone says the fact, I don't, I can't really believe it unless it's like fact checked because he can't really trust people on facts because people could be trying to convince you on something with just like made of facts.

3:52

Well, that's true in a lot of areas, like if we're talking about the news or if we're talking about various things, almost various things, right?

So you do need to Fact Check things.

Now when I say that there comes certain people that you can trust, let me give you an example.

I want to go back because we had talked about this whole like Wesley Hough, Billy Carson thing.

4:13

Do you think that that individual, Wes Hough, do you think he's overall, generally speaking, a trustworthy person?

I would say so, yeah.

I would say so as well.

Now, did you know that he got several things even incorrect in his Joe Rogan podcast?

4:29

I don't know.

Now, when I say incorrect, I would, I should better say misspoke.

And the reason is because he didn't have any notes in front of them.

That was a three hour podcast.

And so I'll give you one example.

He said there that Jesus after the resurrection had been seen by 400 witnesses according to 1st Corinthians 15.

4:49

Well, he misspoke.

I'm not saying he was lying or trying to deceive, but do you know how many that the Bible says that was Saul, Jesus?

No 500.

So he just that's, that's things.

This happens to all of us.

So here's my point.

Generally speaking, you will encounter people where you can say, you know what?

5:08

I think I can trust the majority of what they're saying because they've done their work, they've done their homework and all those things.

So considering he's been doing this ever since he was like a kid basically, like everyone can misspeak sometimes.

Of course, like people that's been like their whole lives, like everybody messes up.

5:28

Do it all the time.

You know what?

I mix up a lot.

I mix up if I ever talk about like Bathsheba, David's, David's.

Well, he had multiple wives, but one that he eventually married in Delilah.

I I don't know why I always mix up those.

5:44

I always mix up Moses and Abraham for some reason.

That's all right.

But all right, so I think we proved our point here.

Now back to this commentary.

This gentleman, his name is Stanley Horton is, is most trustworthy.

However, we don't have to agree on everything.

6:02

So when we go through, in fact, even in chapter 1, there's one area that I disagree with him on.

I think he misspoke, but I also think I know why we won't get to it just yet.

So when we get there, all right, well, let's let's dive right into it.

6:19

Why don't you kick us off Noah and read the first 3 verses of Acts chapter 1 and we're reading out of the new King James, right?

All right, go for it.

The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which he was taken up.

6:40

After He, through the Holy Spirit, had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen.

To whom he also presented himself alive after his suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during 40 days, and Speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

7:02

You know what my favorite phrase is?

There's a lot in these verses.

This is the the.

This is good stuff.

All right, so let's go into our discipleship guide and let's read a little bit.

So right off the bat, we see that the former book, of course, is what Luke.

7:18

Yeah, Luke's Gospel and then there's a little excerpt on here I actually touched on this Sunday.

So some of the questions that theologians ask is did Luke plan a third volume?

And the reason for some of that is because Acts ends very, very abruptly.

7:34

Now whether or not Luke was that is completely speculative.

We don't know if he was.

However, I think with the open-ended nature of the book of Acts, meaning it ends abruptly and you're supposed to say, well, what do we do now?

7:51

I think that's the point because what do we do now?

According to verse one is Jesus begin to both do and teach.

In other words, his ministry didn't stop with his resurrection and ascension, right?

Why?

8:09

Because you and I are to carry that on.

We are to live out these teachings and we are to do what Jesus has done.

So this is the Acts of the Apostles by the Holy Spirit and through Jesus.

So anything in in our discipleship guides out of verse one.

8:26

Anything that caught your attention that you maybe you highlighted or you thought was interesting and.

The commentary I'd like to tell it was talking about Theophilus and who he could have been.

OK, I see that paragraph.

So that's the second paragraph.

8:43

Before you get there, let's back up.

Read that last sentence prior to the second paragraph.

This work of the Holy Spirit with never intended to come to a conclusion this age.

OK, so that is our conclusion from all that Jesus began to do and teach that the work of the Holy Spirit which we have the try unity of God, right?

9:07

We have God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

The work of God never intended to come to an end.

Jesus continues his ministry through you and I by the Holy Spirit.

All right, so let's talk about Theophilus a little bit.

9:23

Tell me what you got on Theophilus.

Well, first of all, his name is Friend of God or dear to God.

OK, now do you know how that I'm going to help you with a little bit of language here?

Do you know how that happens?

That I do know.

9:39

OK, when I say let's talk about theology, look at Theophilus name Theo is Theo where we get the word Theos meaning God.

Now look at the next part F or PHILUS Phileas, that's where we get the word phileo for love.

10:01

It's they share the same root.

So he is a friend of God, dear to God, he is a lover of God, he loves God.

So do you see how that works?

It's a two-part word.

Theo is God, phileo is love.

So tell me what else you got about Theophilus.

10:19

And then like if you were to Scroll down in the paragraph, it says that a theory is that is that Luke was his servant and that Luke was let go because he because he like healed or like helped Theophilus and Theophilus let him go.

10:43

So most likely Luke was a slave or employed by by Theophilus.

OK, now you.

The keyword here is theory, so we don't know for sure.

But you know what we can draw from this Some some even question.

Was Theophilus an actual person or?

10:59

Was it just like a nick cover name?

Correct.

And regardless of those things, I think what's being communicated to us is number one, we know the the cost of producing something like this would have been great.

11:15

And he needed Luke had to get the money from somewhere, right?

To say in your sermon or in Bible study, it was like 100 sheep or something.

I don't, I did, I did.

I said something along those lines, but just to produce one of the first translated versions of of the Bible.

11:38

It I, I can't give you the exact, but I believe it was 248 lambs that had to give their life or sheep for this, for this particular, not papyri, because papyri is from from cotton, but from the scrolls.

11:59

Yeah.

So the book of Luke is large.

So either way, Theophilus came alongside and helped made this possible.

Anything else with Theophilus?

And then it also says that it says that Theophilus could have been a Roman official of high rank and could have been a friend of Luke who Luke was able to kill him to read and have copies circulated.

12:26

Yes.

And then it had said that it it said that the title most excellent.

And then it said that Luke won three fits that coin.

OK, so yeah, that's good stuff.

So we at least have a a base understanding of how we can think about Theophilus.

12:47

Now let's continue on it.

It says on the following paragraph, it says that Luke's gospel dealt with what Jesus began to do and teach.

And it shows us three things.

So I want us to go over those three things.

And and I like the way that he outlines it because the next three paragraphs are his three points.

13:04

So #1 what does, what does this show us?

First, it shows that the church had its beginning in the gospel.

Now, you might ask, why is this important?

Because it's often, we would say, a mistaken idea to say that the church was born on Pentecost.

13:24

Now, you probably haven't been around long enough to hear that, but that is actually a common expression.

It's kind of a misnomer.

The church wasn't born at Pentecost.

The church had its beginning in the gospel according to Horton.

And in fact, there are some scholars that can trace back this at least idea of the assembly or the ecclesia.

13:45

That's the the word of those that are called out all the way back into the Old Testament.

And so he makes a point here that that the church did have a beginning and it wasn't necessarily just on Pentecost #2 the work of Jesus did not end when he ascended.

14:07

And so again, the book of Acts is showing what Jesus continues to do and teach by the Holy Spirit through the church.

Very, very important.

Now, Why?

Because you were included in that.

14:22

You're our lives, although we are far from perfect, we need to realize and understand that we live for the glory of God.

That's what we do.

And just for instance, just because I'm a pastor, I still have to live my life with that in the forefront of my my mind.

14:42

I live for his glory and for his good pleasure.

And so do you.

So everywhere we go and everything that we do, you have any thoughts on that?

I like what you what you said and I feel like in this modern day world with some churches and some pastors they may think that is how they are living their lives but in reality from it, it really isn't like that.

15:14

If you see some of these like crazy churches claiming like making like like making their own way almost almost like twisting the words to their own liking and saying that is the truth and they are living the truth that God wanted.

15:31

OK.

Now for those that are at home, you're talking about something.

I actually know what you're talking about.

Give us some context.

Can you give us a concrete example for, for those of you listening, Noah came up to me and he said, hey, I just saw a video about a certain preacher and he goes, you've probably heard of him before.

15:48

So go ahead and tell us a little bit about that, Noah.

Oh, I will.

I wasn't talking about that.

But now that oh.

OK, I thought you were.

Then tell me what you were.

A little bit apart that because I've seen some stuff where it's like these different passwords do not do not doing the like prosperity gospel claiming, claiming how God wants the church to fund like private jets and stuff.

16:13

OK.

That's what.

That's what I had originally.

What's?

What's a private jet?

Man, where I want a private jet.

Well, I don't think anyway, what I was talking about is these like OGTPQ churches.

Oh that too and like the gay pastors and stuff.

16:30

Like I was, I was thinking that's what I had most recently like watched, but what you had also brought up is also part of.

It well, we've got it from we've got it from all all different directions, meaning there are different stripes and sects within Christianity that really have come to manipulate and twist God's word.

16:54

Now they believe it or not Noah, they would say that, oh, you do the same thing.

Maybe you just don't understand, and I've got a whole whole thing on what we would call LGBTQ theology and how they do theological or hermeneutical gymnastics to come to their conclusions and interpretations.

17:15

And it's the same thing with the prosperity gospel.

So what we're going to see displayed through the book of Acts is just as Jesus had humble beginnings, born in a Manger, so to the church had very, very humble beginnings.

17:34

There was nothing flashy about it.

There was nothing that would attract you, right?

See, there's a prophecy in the book of Isaiah, Isaiah 53, and it talks about Jesus the the suffering servant.

And it says that he had no form or comeliness that we should desire him.

17:54

Meaning like Jesus was an ordinary, ordinary man.

He wasn't, he didn't come as this charismatic, attractive person.

And we see some parallelism with that and the church.

So what church has become as a result of people, how should we say it, going after fleshly desires really has manifested itself in these two areas, especially these two areas that you said, one side LGBTQ, other side prosperity gospel, any other thoughts?

18:31

I like what you said because you had said that.

Yes, said that people have said that like, oh, oh, you guys probably do the same thing and just don't realize it.

It's kind of calling out like they're like, it's like, it's kind of like calling them out because it's them admitting that they do twist the words to their own liking and it's like them admitting it almost.

18:56

Well, they can, what they'll do is they'll just say you don't understand or you haven't had a full understanding.

And so that is a whole other topic, but might make for a good podcast.

Like if we we will walk through systematically like what we would call of, you know, inclusive theology.

19:19

So yeah, a lot to talk about there.

But let's let's get back and let's focus on this here.

The work of Jesus did not end when he ascended.

So you and I have work to do.

What do you think part of that work is?

This podcast, for example.

19:36

Sure, this podcast can definitely serve as that, but let's let's think a little broader.

Keep going.

Going around and just like teaching people about Jesus, like being and just like being friendly to them, like being and just like and it's it's and just and like making your point without being like show them love and just like overall just try to bring them to like God.

20:11

OK, so all of everything that you just said we can encapsulate into a word, and we would call that word witness, right?

This is this is really the summary of what God has called us to do.

And we all do it in a variety of different ways.

20:27

So when we describe the work of God, yes, it is to be a witness, but it's also to make disciples.

That's what it is.

And and people can contribute in a variety of different ways, but this is the work that you and I still have to do.

Is that to make him known and to be known by God?

20:46

So you have to make him known, but then we have to be known to know him and to be known.

And that is part of discipleship.

You can tell somebody about Jesus all day long, but they've got a lifetime to work this thing out right now.

21:01

Here's the third thing.

So it says, it says Luke carefully investigated everything.

I want to read this whole paragraph.

It says he was concerned about historical accuracy.

Unlike most other religions, Christianity is a historical religion, not based primarily on an idea or a philosophy.

21:25

What Jesus did, how he lived and died for us, how he rose again and descended to God, the Father's right hand, are all essential.

You cannot reduce Christianity to a religion of mere ethics or ideas.

21:43

So what do you think that means?

That last sentence.

Yeah, or the whole paragraph.

You, you pick.

What do you think?

Give it to me in your words.

I had read this and then it's a little bit hard, but I was it's like.

22:05

Let me let me help you out a little bit.

Do you remember what we were dealing with in John's letters?

Like why some people left and, and how John was giving them the correct way to walk in the light and to walk in love?

22:21

It was because some folks separated some of the teachings of Jesus.

And what he's saying here is that you cannot extract just the moral principles from Christianity and say I live my life by that.

22:37

But all that other stuff on how he died, how he rose, how he send it his virgin birth, I don't, I don't, I don't know about all that.

This is what he's saying.

So as he says, Luke carefully investigated everything.

22:57

He accurately depicted the things that we are going to be reading in all of the accounts in the book of Acts.

So that's a, that's a very, very powerful statement.

Is it?

Yeah, I, I had highlighted that one because I, I agree with what you had said, how people could live by the morals of like, of like, oh, love your love your neighbors and like, like that type of stuff.

23:25

But Nah, it's kind of like, it's kind of like showing up for the team photo with the jersey, but you're not actually a part of the team.

Yeah, Can you imagine?

But what are you doing here, man?

Yeah, exactly.

You're doing.

You're doing, you're signing up for the easy stuff, but you aren't committing to like the real, like everything behind it.

23:51

Yeah, yeah.

So we can't.

You have to have all.

You have to have all of it.

And so this is much more so for.

So for our listeners at home, there is a podcast, several podcasts back, and I think I've called it Christless Conservatism, which really kind of tackles what we may be seen in the pipeline when it comes to conservatism and even espousing the Christian ethic without making Jesus your Lord and Savior.

24:24

Because we have a lot of admirers today of Christian morals and values, but yet they don't want to bend the knee to King Jesus.

And there's a difference there.

And I'm going to go back to this because in fact, you know, when Wes Huff was doing his podcast, he actually talked about a man who's really phenomenon today by the name of Jordan Peterson.

24:47

And he talked about more than just the ethics and the morality of Christianity.

You have to, you can't just extract from God's word either.

Also the psychology behind it.

See this.

Do you know who Jordan Peterson is?

25:03

Noah.

I have heard you talk about him, but I don't.

He's a he's a he's a phenomenon right now.

He's a he's, he is looked to because the guy is brilliant.

Don't misunderstand me.

I like him a lot.

He is brilliant, but he's missing the forest for the trees.

25:21

Here's the expression.

And we cannot just reduce this word to a mere set of principles.

All right, let's move on or we're going to this is going to take a while, right?

Verses 2 and three.

25:36

Let me go ahead and read it out of out of the Bible again.

And then we'll, we'll go through some of this commentary.

It says so.

We saw the account that Luke's making of all that Jesus begin to do and teach verse 2, Until the day in which He was taken up.

After He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, to whom He also presented himself alive after his suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them for a period of 40 days, and Speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

26:11

So here I'm going to begin reading on our discipleship guides.

Horton says clearly Jesus did not ascend until after he had given instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen for himself to carry out his work.

26:27

The word apostles sent once here may not be limited to the 12, but include other sent ones commissioned by Jesus as 72 were in Luke 10/1.

The Holy Spirit was already working, making Jesus's instructions clear to the apostles and impressing them on their memories.

26:51

They were the chosen recipients and custodians of the body of teaching we have in the New Testament.

That is a powerful statement right there.

OK, they were.

Notice the chosen recipients and custodians.

27:10

So if I say no, you're the custodian of this information that I'm about to give you, what do you think that means?

I'm the like caretaker.

Correct.

You are the one responsible.

You are to nurture this, you are to guard it, you are to save it, and you are to spread it as well.

27:29

You have been chosen.

This is the sense of this now it goes on the last sentence.

Jesus did not give secret teachings special additional teachings to others as Gnostics, Mormons and many false cults claim.

27:45

This is important because although in the book of Acts at this infancy that we see of the church spreading and growing, we we will see cults spring up towards the end of the 1st century.

28:01

Now I'm going back to the writings of John.

That's what John was dealing with when he says Gnostics, he was talking about there's a sect of Gnostics called dosatists.

These dosatists were Gnostics and they believed in secret teachings.

28:18

Luke is making it clear there was and Jesus never spoke anything in secret.

That's also comes from the Gospel of John.

That's what Jesus was accused of when he stood before the the high priest.

Jesus says everything I said has been out in the open.

28:34

I taught publicly.

And so in these 40 days, if someone comes along and says, hey, like this Billy Carson guy, hey, we got this book over here, the book of book of Barnabas.

And he really he, they, this unlocks the secrets of what Jesus taught during those 40 days.

28:53

And you can only get it right over here.

Www.yesfor for only $5.00 a month.

Yeah, or whatever it is.

In other words, that's ridiculous.

OK, so we don't fall for that kind of things.

29:10

So this is very, very important.

Let's read on. 2nd paragraph.

Apparently the apostles included those to whom Jesus showed himself in definite ways and at definite times for 40 days after his suffering, that is, after the Passion week in crucifixion.

29:28

To them he gave many convincing proofs, positive proof, decisive proofs, sure signs, unmistakable evidence that he was alive.

Do you have any thoughts on that, Noah?

Oh, no.

OK, now let's go on.

29:45

It says he also spoke to them about God's Kingdom.

That is his rule and plan.

It also refers to his restoration of his Kingdom under Jesus's rule in the Millennium.

This gospel message can be trusted.

30:02

The apostles received it from Jesus.

Anything there you want to add or do you have any questions?

Oh no.

Now I want to just kind of hone in on these infallible, indeniable, positive, decisive proofs.

30:21

What do you think some of those were?

Like his hand.

Yeah, yeah.

Like his hand, like his like.

Like whip marks?

Yeah, so they they saw the scars in his hands.

Somebody touched him, didn't he?

30:38

He said.

Here, Do you remember who that was?

Yeah, it was doubting.

Remember doubting Thomas?

Thomas didn't believe.

And he says until I can see and touch, touch his hands.

30:54

And then Jesus showed up.

Boom.

Hey.

They really didn't make him eat his words, huh?

Yeah, and he says here, see, you can see me, you can touch me, you can.

I'm going to eat with you.

Do you remember how the the letters of John opened?

31:11

I'm going to read it right now.

I'm going to go to 1st John chapter 1.

John said that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled concerning the word of life.

31:29

The life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness and declare to you that eternal life with which was with the Father and was manifested to us.

That which we have seen and heard.

We declare to you that you also may have fellowship with us.

31:49

And so this is a beautiful passage because one of the doctrines of the church is denying the physical, bodily resurrection of Jesus.

Even today there are folks that want to deny the bodily resurrection of Jesus and that doctrine.

32:10

There are skeptics, there are Mystics, there are Gnostics that do that even today.

All right.

Anything else that you want to do out of this or thoughts or questions?

Oh, mainly just like a little side of the obviously Jesus would it be like clean with the with his like Marks and stuff.

32:32

But I just, I just like it would be so like weird and maybe disturbing scene, like just like a hole in your hand.

Like I could, like I could imagine, of course it would be like clean and all that, but just like it's just like hard to picture that.

32:52

You know, he'll still have those in heaven because the Bible says one day that when we, when we take our last breath, whether it's physically on this earth or by way of the rapture, we will get to see him one day face to face.

And I believe that each of us will be able to see those scars in his hands and his side that was pierced.

33:14

And I think Jesus's response will be, I did this for you so that you could be with me.

Really, salvation is personal.

It is, it is, but it's two-dimensional.

It's both corporate.

There's a corporate aspect, meaning for the for the many, but it's also also individualistic.

33:35

Jesus did it for us.

If there was, if there was only one Sinner, if you were the only person for Jesus to save, he still would have done it.

See, it's easy to think, hey, like we see movies of these heroes that say I'm going to go save the world, right?

But you know what's not as like trendy or sexy?

How about saving the one, right?

See, we'll get a lot of people that will save the world, but what about if you boil it down to just one?

To one special person.

34:18

How would you, I mean, let's say that let's just let's put that on a scale right now.

What I'm trying to tell you theologically is Jesus God for right?

John 316 for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son.

34:36

See, he gave Jesus for the whole world.

But what the the concept is, is if it was only just you, he still would have done it.

Because it's for those who believe in him.

Yes, absolutely.

34:55

All right.

I think we've got a little, we got a little carried away this we're, we're at the 35 minute mark.

So I think what we're going to do is we're going to call it a wrap with these 3 verses and then we will do our best to maybe, I don't know, maybe I don't even know if we should pick up the pace, but we'll, we'll try to get through more of, of, of acts.

35:17

What do you think?

I'm good with that.

OK, well folks, if you have any thoughts, if you have any questions, be sure to let myself know.
