And today is no different. It's football Sunday. You guys are so excited. I can feel the anticipation in the room.

20:34 You guys are Chiefs fans like me. You know, we have a little bit of anxiety that comes right with following our Chiefs team, but if you guys watch games were always on the edge of our seat, right? We are always just so excited and expectant for what's going to happen next during the game because we've never really know what's coming up next and they're every play, every single down, every second, right? Can hold us in anxiety, and anticipation for what might be happening. Next, and as Christians, as Jesus followers, we get that same privilege and opportunity to be on the edge of our See and expectant and excited for everything that Jesus is going to do through our community Through us. With each decision that we make On Any Given Sunday to be a Jesus follower. So it's Pastor Sean.

21:14 I'm invited to the Stacy's going to share with us today. Look and just happen as a Christian On Any Given Sunday. Give it up for pastor Sean. Thanks Gary. Come on. Welcome to football. Sunday, made you guys look ready? I'm gonna just say that live in Kansas City, in this era in time in the Chiefs kingdom is awesome. Come on somebody. I mean, it's amazing one day. I'll pry have to tell my kids. I came here when you're little and they were like in a Super Bowl three times in five years, amazing. But I want to get some honor day before you jump into football, Sunday to a few select group people that just want to Bone Beyond, we have a dream team, there's a group people in the dream team that really went the extra yards. Come on. Tended, the hard yards for us today, really for a tailgate party all the stuff. You're gonna see a special day and give us a big. Thank you and some honor to our Vince team to put the extra miles in today.

22:04 Come on, it's good. Another person really family. Want to just highlight they brought Arrowhead to us today. Literally there was like grass from are ahead on the tailgate stuff. You can smell the fire pits and the in the barbecue and all that. That and so the guys are DieHard Chiefs fans, but they love Jesus. They love us. Ranger Smith care under the in the house, over here, somewhere to hide, and there's some other back. There we go. Hey, there they are. Dude, thank you so much for the extra miles, man. They'd be answerable, didn't win the lottery on this one but, man, it's exciting one other person. This is just something. I just felt today, but men that worship is on fire today, and there's, there's something to back. They got picked on last week, but did incredible job today and the worship set.

22:52 I think some of your first week told, Your own little run. The audio, give it up for Logan back there. Come on, put your hand in this. Make up for last week. He's the guy in the Eagles jersey, we still love you. Come on, don't kill the audio guy. Okay we need him for next week. All right, it's all good. I mean there's always something special about Super Bowl Sunday and there is always some anticipation and you know, you're Andy Reid and his coaching and course you got the magic of Mahomes and it just like anything is possible with this team. It doesn't matter if the down by 28 come on and it also doesn't matter out by 28, right. We almost put blood pressure medication out the seats today. You know I'm saying? I'm just kind of team we got right here. Right? I mean 13 seconds, your Grim be the Grim Reaper right?

23:33 This is the greatest quote of all time, you know, and just Kansas City history. But you need to Chiefs that you'd it's never over till it's over and that's what I love about football. It's exciting. Every down every play, every second, really, anything can happen. And for us as Christians, I just want to just spend this on its head because here's the reality in any Sunday. Anything Can Happen, amen. Anything in the move of God, in any moment, any time that same exhilaration expectation, that same culture that we could show up in the things of God and say thank you Jesus that the Holy Spirit can move at any moment. Amen. Think about being a Christian we're in a spiritual war now. Back to we're doing we're always taking yards from Satan amen. We're taking some hard yards. In fact, we pray and we work hard and we serve hard to all this stuff just for somebody today to know, Jesus to know Jesus and leave forever change today. Like, we're working her tail off for the things of Christ. East matter of fact, you think about what is the to be a Christian that we get to celebrate the things of God, we could to serve in the things of God, we will lean into the things go out every single week knowing that God can move. Amen.

24:35 As we lead with expectation with with big expectation of what God can do, Any Given Sunday, mass effect. People walk in this house today maybe you walked in, you thought your life was kind of that spot was fourth and impossible. You thought maybe you're not going to make it maybe you're in a season of depression or suicide or maybe need some hope in people. Look at this every single week. People come to Christ here and today the Holy Spirit can be poured onto your life through Jesus, and you can leave changed and forever new. And I'll tell you what, I get excited about that, amen. I never give up on the fact that this maybe somebody Super Bowl Sunday. Amen. I never give up on that. The never changes. So we leave with expectation. And so, this looks like it looks like this. When somebody ask you to pray, they've been a life group, or maybe it's in the Huddle, maybe it's in your family.

25:19 And someone says, who wants to pray this way? Expectation looks like right there. Amen. Who was the prey is a boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom hands everywhere, right? And really kind of leaders have to say. All right guys, one at a time. One at a time, right? Or hey, I'm really sorry. I got some bad news today. Only one person can pray in the group. Oh, right? Because expectation, that what God can do and uh, this kind of silly, it's like, oh yeah, that never really happens, but it wish it would. Amen. Because here's the thing, how you pray is really how you play. Like we don't step on this stage without being prayed over. Look, we're not going to talk about the Word of God without praying for all of you. But praying for God to move, forgot to change Souls.

25:59 We don't show up to a life group and were like, oh, yeah, hey, hey Jim yeah, Jim Jim, how you doing Jim? Then the we prayed for a gym this week, amen. Like we came with expectation that God is going to change Jim's life, and so we care for people with so prayer, really sets the expectation that God is going to move. Amen. Like I mean, we're behind the scenes constantly asking God to do these things. And so we show up on Sunday, it's like, okay, God, like who are prayed? Sup were trusting you with this think about worship. It's my expectation of worship. I'm how we come in is Jesus followers and worship Jesus, and we can worship Jesus in a lot of ways. But worship juice through song is one of my favorite ways we come here and we just look to Jesus say thank you. Jesus, we have Open Hearts and Hands for the things of God and obvious picture Jesus on today, on the cross and him pursuing me and died for me and really heartfelt, tears come down our face and worship. Amen.

26:49 But, you know, we saw people come to church, and I saw this me and I probably shouldn't say this way, but I must say, It was this Meme and it was a Baptist enjoying worship, and it was like this. Now, if you come fast come fast, but the reality is there. So if people hold on the chair, it's like there's so Express expressionless and people so worried about like being emotional church and I'm sorry that somebody told you back at your, like, whatever, religion experience. They told you to hold back on the things of God. I'm sorry that somebody told you to show up on a Sunday and be reserved. I mean, I think about Chiefs game, I'm like, when I go to Chief Stadium ever had stadium and I see what's happening, I always imagine heaven and I'm saying they're having, I'm not saying But I'm saying there's just countless thousands of millions of people that worship Jesus in heaven, that we do part of that, that the anthem forever.

27:36 And so for me, like we should get excited about the things of God, just like the Chiefs, amen. I mean, we where the Chiefs jersey, right? We represent, but we represent the kingdom of God. The so we show up on Sunday, there's any place. Just have some expectation of come around if people should think a little crazy up here a little bit. Okay. I'm just saying this you walking like something's weird. Hey, we just love you and with the whole experience here and we love that we love Jesus. Amen. And so any moment I believe this any moment today somebody's going to come to Jesus so he made came to Jesus in the parking lot. So maybe in the hallway and had a heart-to-heart conversation to connect with somebody and you say, hey there's The Wonder of God in my life or maybe sitting next to you you're like, hey I don't know this guy but am I getting this guy or maybe they do know him but today's the day or maybe it hang out that tailgate Tent today.

28:18 And I will those Jesus conversations, right? Or maybe it's in the kids room they give them Jesus or in the youth group. I'm just showing this is expectation to have today. Amen. This is this expectation house. We're going to do we're going to kind of set the expectation so I'm going to go ahead and pray and maybe ask you once the prey. All right so I picked the right topic to talk about today. Come on somebody, right? So we're gonna set up the expectation that God the midday father come before you with open hands. Open Hearts. God that we would be the type of Christians that expect you to move any given day the week especially on Sunday. It's a God. Help us to be enthusiastic to be expectant, got to our faith and our worship and our Prayer removed from a private Faith to a public Declaration of the Wonders.

29:01 And the glory of God that changes today. We pray this in Jesus name, maybe the church said, amen. By the way, I will say, your worship is a weapon weapon for Jesus. Do you think about this when you're worshiping Jesus? It's like, I trust you, I believe in you, you've got this. It's also telling saying something to it, you look at saying, you say, hey guess what? This is our been decided, this are decided in heaven. So, whatever scheme you're trying to put on me and going to happen. Amen. And so worships like real. I'm the heart so I love to get into worship and I like her just to be a worshipping church. We were blessed and the search to have amazing worship. Amen. And I'm just telling you like we should come in with some expectation at allow you guys do but we got to get breaks them out of the mold.

29:42 They be of just Comfort to say, Okay God people should go in here and say these love these guys love Jesus, a little weird, but they love Jesus. Amen. And so we're going to jump into really what set the expectation where did this all come from? Its, we're going to go back to one of those original Sundays The original Sunday really outside of Jesus on the cross and Resurrection Sunday, we're gonna go to the Sunday, the relaunch, the church, and you find this in Acts chapter 2, and what is called Pentecost. And so, he used some context of Pentecost. This is where Jesus had been crucified. He was killed. He resurrects from the dead. He came back to life. Obviously, four days. He went around to be seen by people. He restored Peter and then he ascended to Heaven. You have Acts chapter 1, you have pure kind of stands up a little bit with disciples that pick Matthias.

30:26 To take over for Judas and then you have Pentecost and so picks up an axe chapter 2. We're going to be there pretty much the whole day Acts chapter 2, verse 1, says this, when the day of Pentecost came. So this is something significant Pentecost is already an event and Jewish calendar. It's already holiday. This isn't we think of Pentecost and just like launch on this day, this is something that Jewish culture. We already had in place. What's really interesting about the Pentecost? It's actually 50 days past Jesus. Resurrection, the whole Pinta cost, it's Greek for 50 days. So this is actually a feast that the Jewish culture would have had. It's called The Feast of the early Harvest. Come on somebody. You think Jesus had a plan when he claimed that the Pentecostals me the feast early Harvest and 3,000 people come to Christ.

31:09 That fact you back up, 50 days, Jesus actually, resurrected on the feet, the Feast of the first fruits, come on somebody. So Jesus resurrects, the first resurrection of the dead and Jesus didn't resurrect just to life to die again. Jesus resurrected and immortality. And so he's the first of those that would resurrect wrecked from Mortal to Immortal. Now, Jesus was a little different but for us, we resurrect from Mortal to Immortal and we were like, kind of like the last fruits, come on somebody, right. And today, we need to play a part of the story. And so, when you line up all these cultures of the Old Testament, Jesus really God started and Jesus fulfills them, do it is amazing. Amen, to see the plan of God and how it works. And so, it says this and when Pentecost came, they the disciples were all together in one place.

31:50 And suddenly, a sound, like a blowing of a violent wind came from Heaven waiting, all week for that. Also, buddy, violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house, where they were sitting, and they saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. So you're the picture there in this house, the praying together they've been seeking for Jesus. That's been pasted about nine or ten days. They've been unified together, trying to figure out, hey, what's going to happen next? The been praying and all of a sudden you have this wind just rush from heaven and what seems like tongues of fire come and they separate and they land or they rest over the top of these people. And what's amazing about this is this is ruler with the Holy Spirit kind of enters in. He feels these people and so there's really the launch of something very special and I love when this pulley Spirit shows up it's not like today where Holy Spirit comes your life it's invisible.

32:37 You don't see the Holy Spirit but for them this was there was a physical symbol of the Holy Spirit of this Fire and Fire is representative God. Matter of fact the Holy Spirit came and Pryor was Jesus. Baptized right and came down as a dove. And so here you see the fire of God, the tongues on these people laid, on them representing really the things. Christ. Now you think about this fire is said that rabbis used to have fire rust on them as they stood the word of God, these teachers of the Old Testament, my factors actually Roman coins as pretty interesting as a these leaders about a tongue of fire above them that represents a new era and this season, these tongue comes, it's really represent a new era for us as relationship with God. This new way as it's called as Christians. And so here's the real this is very interesting. So the Pentecost actually came out of when Moses received the law from outside, I That's when I started celebrating the Pentecost is, that's called the Feast of the weeks, it was seven weeks.

33:31 And so the reality is this is that Pentecost was the chosen day that God sent the Holy Spirit to us to abolish or fulfill what Jesus did with the law and represent the new time. We walk with Jesus called the New Covenant, the age of Grace, amen. I'm just telling you, this is for the mature Christians, that know, some of the stuff, right? This is amazing how God has moved. They settle all up and they celebrated and then Go to celebrate the said we're done with that. The holy spirit is here, there's a new way to know God and it's through this spirit that we can walk with Jesus, Spirit, enters into man for the first time, they're in this set and they're filled with the spirit, they wiped away. Along verse 4 says this, all of them, this is every person in the house, unconditional these guys have been praying and seeking after God, unconditionally were filled with the Holy Spirit. Now you see this all throughout the Bible that says this extra anointing of the Holy Spirit, that's on somebody's Samson. Pushed the pillars, over all the different times where people are filled with the spirit of God.

34:25 They begin to Speak in other tongues, as the spirit enabled them. Now I'll say this, there's different types of tongues, the New Testament. If you want a Christian, anytime at all, you've debated this at some coffee shop with somebody right, come on, right? And so there's different tongues and this other tongues, there's three different forms of tongues in the Bible, tongues of angels, tongues of men. Here, you have other tongues. This other tongues is referring to other languages very specifically, so it says they spoke in other languages as the spirit, enabled them. Now, here's why this is so significant for us today. We call the expectation of Expectations what God can do on a Sunday morning. Any Given Sunday? It says, this verse 5, now there are staying in Jerusalem. These God-fearing Jews. Hey, get the picture. So, here's this Feast, this of the early Harvest. It's happening, Jerusalem.

35:11 And he's Old Testament followers of Judaism. They actually feared God, but they do about Jesus, and they were coming to celebrate the Pentecost. And once you have to know about this, it's very significant. It says they're from every nation under heaven, then incredible. This is a global scale, C Pentecost was a pilgrimage. If you're a Jewish, man, you're required to come back in to go to Pentecost, to go to this feast. And so, the Holy Spirit, God picked the perfect moment at a global scale that the good news will go out to all the world that have represents the world. Would be there, it says this. And when they heard the sound, which is a great quote, by the way, I heard the sound right of the spirit of God. They heard the sound of rushing.

35:52 Wind everybody, talking their loan? Languages a crowd came together in. Mulder mate. These guys are confused. All right? And because each one heard their own language being spoken. Look man. This is a little crazy. So it's they're amazed and they ask aren't all. These are speaking galileans like on the world. They speak in my language, what in the world is going on? And then how is it that each of us here them in our native tongue or day of language? And so they got parthians and medes, and elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia Pontius. Asia friken says, 14 Ghia. I was a Fergie. Come on, somebody. Right. We're not going there philia, Egypt. Maybe it's in the playlist later, I don't know.

36:32 Right parts, Olivia. Cyrene visitors from Rome, both Jews and convert to Judaism cretians. Arabs, we hear them declaring. And this is so good. What are they declaring in their own tongues? What were they saying? They're declaring. What the The wonders of God, this is incredible. This Holy Spirit comes with the exact moment. The exact Sunday would all rule, is there to celebrate really the Old Testament law being given but they're saying, no, no, this is being changed and they're declaring in their own tongue to the Holy Spirit, the wonders of God, this is amazing. I hope we haven't changed or left is very first message. Come on somebody to declare the wonders of God, why in the world of the Holy Spirit? Picked this because there was there was good news. That was too good.

37:15 Kept private, it was too good to worship like this. It was too, it was too good. Not to pray before you showed up. It was too good to be kept silence. He was good news. It was too good, not to share. And so the Holy Spirit showed up and said we're going to get this good news out. Amen. To a lost and dying world that needs Jesus. It's amazing to me that the very first Act of the Holy Spirit. Now, in fact, you don't know the book of Acts is actually called the book of Acts because it's the acts of the Holy. Spirit, the very first Act of the holy spirit of God, the, the helper, the promised comforter? Remember, Jesus, that would be one that's coming Gina.

37:55 Come for you, the encourager, the ones going to indwell us live in us. The very first thing that is Holy Spirit does it's been locked up right? From the hearts of man. For all these centuries. All these These are is these thousand Millennials right to be locked up in a sense of released into this moment. And the very first thing that this His Spirit, it does is it makes a way for us to declare the wonders of God to the entire world? Come on. Somebody am I excited? I'm excited because this this is, this is incredible. Like, this is the launch Sunday. Come on somebody of the capital c church.

38:36 We just repeat what the Holy Spirit did every single Sunday really every single day or life. Declaring the wonders of God to all people around us, do we? Not lose that passion, amen. And so we're in with the kids program or working with elementary kids or even Nursery, kids or Pre-K. And we're doing a Bible lesson that we're sharing the wonders of God. Amen. And we get we did we move Heaven and Earth to share the wonders of God with people. And so people show up like a cot guys, this is all about me share that with our kids and our families and we go to youth group and you got kids that are struggling with identity struggling crisis, meant I love about you, it's kind of a world. We kind of afraid to have teenagers go through this section of life like the world is so Much different. Even when I was a teenager, that's how I know I'm getting old.

39:18 I'm saying things that sound old. Come on. So he right. But it's just so much different. They're questions that have to ask themselves are insane, what kind of right asks, any of the questions have to ask them. So that was a really, and they're struggling, but they have the hope of Jesus. We need to clear the wonders of God, to these young Souls, had the holy spirit of God, they can live a life on Mission. Amen. You need to clear that when somebody connects to the front door and you get to have the heart to heart conversation that sold his soul. And you could maybe just Are the ones of God like hey man, I've been in your shoes but God man. He's just done it for me. He's done it for me. And you get to have those conversations. The soul shaping conversations every single time we interact with people. That's what we're doing. We're declaring the wonders of God to a lost and Dying World. Maybe somebody sitting next to you, maybe somebody at life group and maybe a neighbor.

40:04 I mean, when you come on the stage, this is all we do as pastors and leaders and people on the stage. I don't care who you are. You come on stage, all use like this. You see The Wonder of God? It's not the Wonder of me. It's a wonder of God, what God has done in me. So if you want to be a preacher and a speaker just Galloway, amen. He just point to Jesus this, The Wonder of God is to really any stage. You know, I was looking at their passing out the AFC championship trophy, right? Lamar, Hunt Trophy and he have Clark hunt, he walks up on the stage. The first thing he says I want to thank my Lord and Savior. Come on somebody he'd have to say that. I mean my home's used to thank God for my you know, for healing me this week and if you Follow his story, anything. His faith is strong, actually, so much anxiety is so much pressure.

40:51 He lives under he's like only because of God, I can do this. I'm just telling you. When you got a platform, all you do is like this. Amen. And that's why I love. Does. My favorite part of the ACC Championship was like, thank you for Gilbert glory to God. Amen. Who gave you those talents and abilities and that, that money. And all these things that you be on that stage, this moment due to his, by the power of God. And that same spirit of God lives in us. Come on somebody. Any Given Sunday we can point to Jesus. Anything can happen. We could occur the words of God to anybody. Now, look at the clouds response, I heard the rushing wind that they saw was going on. They are be speaking. These tongues, like, I heard his people. What in the world and they're amazed and verse 12 and four Plex or confused and they asked one another, what does this mean?

41:32 And some however, this is this, how it goes, made fun of them come. All right. And they said they had too much wine. It sounds like a tailgate party done it. I mean the told you tell get Sunday right man, these guys are the parties are fanatical fans. These guys just zealots men, they're drunks these guys are out there. Salute mind, but they weren't but they weren't come on somebody. I mean, when's the last time somebody somebody show up to church and thought these guys are crazy. I like that little bit. I'm not saying we should be crazy to be crazy but I'm just saying, I think it should be a little different in here. I think those walk in the other. Something different about these people is that we love Jesus, and we love you. Amen. That just was different. So when people raise their hands or they sing off-key, but they sing loud for the glory of God, make a Joyful Noise.

42:14 Come on somebody. This reason I sing from the front row, right? Some of the few months ago is like I heard you singing. I was right behind you. It was good. I was like, yeah. Sure. You know, like this. I know. I can't. Sing this one on stage. Come on somebody, right. I did it. I'm not talented. Like that all of those gifts that's all right. Okay. But we're just excited for the things of God. Verse 14 says this, these guys are confused and people, making fun of me, all you guys are a bunch of drunks. Now some things, well, enough and Peter, there's that Peter Wright that very talked about last week that Peter, that was kind of like down on himself. I love this verse 14, says then Peter did what? How may I help you? Peter stood up. This might be the best words of a Christian stand up. This is what we do in this culture.

42:55 Amen, we stand up. We make a wave and Peter, he finally got the courage. He stood up with the eleven, he raised his voice and he addressed the crowd. He's got to get a business. He said fellow Jews. All of you live in Jerusalem. Let me explain to you this. Listen carefully to what I have to say. I'm, you talk about a bold Proclamation Peters. Bout to just lay it on them and it's good. He's about to give one of the best unrehearsed message has ever. Given from the spirit from got heart of God to these people. He says these people are not drunk as you suppose. It's only 9:00 in the morning, come on somebody. It's Sunday morning that I drunk yet. Wait till afternoon, what are you thinking? Yeah.

43:38 Just a question as to her Tony's voice out there and what's going on. I'll stop I'll stop right? But this is the same Peter, literally very talked about this. Got this guy is has the Forsaken Jesus. He said I'll never die, you know. No, I never deny you and then it's little girl. You know, you're a gal with those disciple know. And he runs off member. He he went barely aware that he was broken as the same period that like, walked on water, awesome, club in, right. But then he sank, right? And Peter was really defeated and then he met with Jesus at a fish fry. Come on somebody. And he Stored and heat is also, his boldness, start swelling up and Peter. There's something that the Peter starts watching, like he would see the crowd. He's recognizes, this is the spirit of God moving, he recognizes that.

44:23 This is a moment for the gospel to go out. He starts, recognizing there's all nations represented and there's just me somethings, and having side Peter, he's gonna remember something. Because Jesus gave Peter something very special. Jesus gave Peter two things. One, he gave me a new name it to, he gave me a promise. There's something to come back to Peter and found in Matthew 16:18. And it says this, This is Jesus talking to Peter. He's I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock, some of Peter being pet. Ross, that's his new name. You know. A first name is Simon, that was his original name and in Jesus said, you know, who Simon, your name is Petra. Ross name is rock. This is the original Rock. Come on, somebody, can you smell what The Rock is? I'm not going to quote, Travis Kelce, all right?

45:06 But that was the best part, all right? I mean, I was like, okay, we're good. Thank you, Lord Jesus and then Travis Kelce, right? I mean that guy hadn't drunk yet, you know, so it's great, whatever right? But on this rock Simon met on this rock, I love this. If you ever wondered what success looks like a Ministry, had this conversation, my staff. I should have been this verse. I Jesus will build my church. There's nothing new about you. I'm going to build my church and the gates of Hades or Hell will not prevail. Missed it. And so Peter this is running as mine is like man I was given a name for the rock. I'm supposed to launch the church. This looks like launch Sunday to me. And so Peter like this was a promise that he was going to fulfill he stood up he's going to give one of the best messages ever. Preached right here.

45:52 Found that acts chapter 2 is going to lay it on because it boldness for the cause of Christ. You put in football terms. This is like Peter looking at the Chiefs game and going, hey this is our moment, a the guy that started the wave, right? Come on, guys, let's go. Come on. Come on, everybody. Listen to me and he's just starts. It looks like a fool. There's like a fool star in the wave in Bear. Been the first guy started a wave, right? You look like an idiot. How are those? Take it out, right? Right. And no sudden start, people start going right, and people start happening. It's like, man. This is Peter. This is a boldness and the courage to be the guy that starts the way. Now, the reality is this, Christian's termed. Peter was the guy who started the way. Come on somebody.

46:38 He did. He rose up to the occasion, he saw the spirit of God moving. He said, this is the moment that God has made me for my name is Peter and this is the rock. This is my time. This is the message I have for these guys and he stood up with boldness and proclaimed, the message of the wonders of God, and that's what were called to do to, amen. It says, in Romans 1:16 says, for I am not ashamed of the gospel because it's the power of God to Salvation that bring Salvation to everyone who believes Nice aim to share the good news, amen. Because it's the power of God to change lives. This is the power of God that people leave forever changed because we shared Jesus and it's just the wonders of God, like I don't deserve this, but main god, this is my life. It says both first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles, we just left the banner high. It's kind of representing Jesus, you know, we got her, we got our Chiefs gear on.

47:23 Come on somebody, right. But, but we're Christians in this tailgate part about to have. I mean, I'm hope we have the wonderful God conversation. Amen. It's not an accident. You're going to sit next to somebody today news to how you Doing it's a man's been a rough week because no one ever says I'm great. It's amazing. Right? And you say, you know what, I've been there, been there a little bit but God did this. You can share The Wonder of God for some of you can walk out forever change. Be that guy? That he's Jesus today. You'd walk out of the Holy Spirit today because somebody's going to share the Wonder, you see the Wonder, you see what we're seeing because you're not worshipping with your arms raised and having some passion, your voice and tear in your eye. You're not seeing what I'm seeing. You're not seeing the same thing and today we get to Point people to The Wonder of God, look up here, does unplanned unscripted from the Verse 16.

48:05 He says no this is what spoken by the prophet. Joel. Hey these guys aren't drunk. This is actually found the Bible bro and I'm pretty sure he had this memorized. So he goes up there and just, bam, he's lays out on. This is found in Joel. This was says, 417 the last days God says, I will pour out my spirit on his people. That's what you're seeing your sons and daughters, will prophesy your young. Men will see Visions, your old men will dream dreams, even my servants, both men and women. I will pour out my spirit in those days. Days and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below blood and fire and Billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to Darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

48:45 I think Peter got their attention, it's crazy. What are you talking about? It says this verse 21, good news and everyone who calls on the name of the Lord. Will be saved Any Given Sunday any given moment. You can have the promise of God of Salvation, it's to everybody. Verse 22, the lose lights, listen to this. This gospel presentation is awesome. Jesus of Nazareth was a man a credit by God to you by Miracles and wonders and signs, which God did among you through him. As you yourselves know, this man was hand over to you, by God's were playing for knowledge and you with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nail him on the cross.

49:26 But God raised him from the dead free and from the agony of death because it was impossible. For death to keep its, hold on him. These guys are like, oh whoa, the now we're now wow, Humble Pie. He said, David is Old Testament. Shepherd, we talked about, right? This the manager. God's Own Heart, became the King right, Chef? What he said, I saw the lord always before me, this would be the greatest line for Christians. By the way, I saw the Lord go before me, like I'm falling his footsteps, because that my right hand and there's a verse for everybody today, I will not be shaken. I will not be shaken. I'll not be wavering. Don't have fans xiety. Come on somebody, I'm not worried about everything today or tonight or tomorrow.

50:10 I'm not so wrapped up in all these crazy stuff because I know God and I will not be shaken. He says, therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices, my body will be rest and hope because you will not abandon me in the realm of the Dead. You will not let your Holy One. See Decay. You have made known to me the path of life and you will fill me with the joy in your presence, may God help us to be the generation, that will not be shaken. Amen. God help us with the generation that fix our eyes on Jesus, and follows his way and his path. And we have this Supernatural confidence to stand up. A men to just know the world's going one way. That's okay. We love them. We care for him. We're following Jesus.

50:51 As for me and my house. I'm falling the Lord, right? So Any Given Sunday, God can strengthen you, any given moment, you call name of Jesus and say, okay God, you got this verse 29 says, this fellow Israelites. I can tell you confidently, that the patriarch David died and was buried. Reed and his tomb is here to has a, but he was a prophet and you knew that God had promised him an oath that he would place on a thousand since on his throne and seeing what was to come. He spoke of the resurrection of Messiah and he was not abandoned to the realm of dead nor does by see Decay, God has raised this Jesus to life and we are all Witnesses of it right here. All of us. We saw it with our eyes and exalted to the right hand of God. He has received from the father has promised, Holy Spirit, and has poured out what you now.

51:35 See and hear these words that were speaking today are coming from the power of God. The reason you can hear also your own language because of the presence of the Holy Spirit and so he explains this to them that the sound is the holy spirit in us. It will people go to church and they're not used to not Christians and don't know about Jesus. There should be something about us. That's different that there's a sound that shoot here. There's a, there's something unique about us that we should put off. There's an aroma of the Saints. Not, not a bad rumor. Come on somebody Right? Now, some Old Spice Aroma, but there's an aroma of Grace. Amen. And the people should always says about you. There's something different about this guy, this lady, but I don't know exactly what it is. It's the wonders of God.

52:19 Amen. It's the grace of God in your life. It's a spirit of God, moving the hearts of his people, and there's nothing more exciting than sharing the heart of God, and the one who's got to somebody else. This last few weeks have been really fun, and exciting and a little We lost the Hope Center, and we've had a, there's this homeless man in tray, and he's been stopping in at random times. Could be really late night. I don't know why I'm still there, but he stops in, right? And it's happened over and over again and so we just kind of modulation with them and it was so awesome, couple weeks. He owes couple things, couple fries ago, two Fridays ago, me Bill and Dan, Daniel might, how does he has come out? And we sat down with Trey and we got to share with him. The wonders of God because he stuck in the spot. I want to help him through his going through physical. Really.

53:06 But there's still a war going on his heart for the things of God. Amen. And it was so cool to watch these guys who've walked through the same path. And the same things say, you know what, this is, what God did in my life. This is The Wonder of God. Amen. And so, I can't give you everything to fix your life that I can't give you Jesus and I can encourage you to follow him. And walk this guy, it was just amazing. It was a Spirit Led conversation through. There was tears that it's like coming in like a man or boiled leaving like a mankind thing. I was like, man, this is what the church does. Amen. We just share the good news and help people encourage people, but throughout is We play a story every single day. I'm telling you there's you look back on your life and those moments you want on The Fray and you stood for God and you shared the things of God with somebody, maybe it was in private and his lunch conversation, maybe he's on the phone with somebody. You always go back and say, oh man, I'm so proud. I'm so glad that you shared Jesus that it wasn't silence. The holy spirit is moving in my life and I just couldn't help because I've got some good news to share a Min. This is what Peter does.

54:00 He stands up? Declares the goodness of God. Verse 34 says, this for David did not ascend. Heaven and yet he said the Lord said to my Lord sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool to your feet, therefore let all of Israel. Be assured of this. God has made this Jesus. Whom you crucified both Lord and Messiah. Now that's not bad for a launch. Sunday message. Come on, somebody, I mean unrehearsed out of nowhere. The spirit of God is moving their tongues. What's going on people come together as a crowd this my moment and he just brings the word of God to these Jewish people and their Context in their way. Not bad for a failure like Peter. Come on somebody. Right. A guy that sank a guy that went barely a guy that have it together not bad for a fisherman, right? An uneducated fisherman.

54:48 That fact in Matthew 4:19 is pretty cool that Jesus told Peter and the disciples said follow me and I'll make you Fishers of Men, dude, I bet, come on, Jesus, he taught feed on fish. Come on somebody, right? I mean, you lose going to catch 3,000 people with this net. He's gonna preach this message people come to Christ. This is exactly what Jesus set out to do was To Boldly proclaim. The good news of Jesus, verse 37 says this and when the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other Apostles, this is how he knows a good message, right here, Brothers. What shall we do? What shall we do now? That's how, you know, the message of God. Hit the hearts of people. See.

55:29 That's why I love that Peter Peter and get Peter didn't give some drying exegetical crazy up here. Theological, Exposition these things that nobody understand he to put up here. Peter brought the cookies are low shelf. Come on somebody. Like I'm not very smart so I'm going to go down here. I can reach these cookies and Peter just looked at the crowd and said, this is what they need and he spoke to them. He saw where they're at and he preached right into their Art matter fact, if you go back to the, the movie, Any Given Sunday, came out 99, how Pacino gives a speech right now? Remember the speech you just kind of lays on him. He says, football is about inches and all you gots the guy next to you and the six inches in front of him knowing that he's willing to die. For those six inches, you will die for yours. He says lies about inches and Rowdy for God. Here it is, most people they know Jesus up here but the reality is the difference makes is there. 13 inches to your heart to know Jesus here.

56:17 Amen. And Peter Cut to the heart. Amen, he spoke right here to those people and today I'm hoping that God is speaking to your heart. Amen, the Holy Spirit speaking here, not here. This is an educational ceremony or Sunday. This is about the spirit of God speaking to you. So verse 38 says this and Peter replied repent, they asked what to do. And so he tells them it's right here. He says, repent and be baptized every one of you. In the name of Jesus Christ for the Forgiveness of sins, you know, turn from your way. You need to run to Jesus. He didn't forgive you and set you free. He said you baptized go public with your faith. He says, for the Forgiveness of your sins, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

57:01 Do you know, you can walk out the Holy Spirit today, check out what it says. It says, verse 39 says, the promise is for you, talking to these Old Testament God-fearing men and women, there are there in the room. This giant Crouch to say it's not for you only, it's for your children. Come on, somebody. The good news is going to go through this generation to the Next Generation and for all who are far off. That's us. Thank God. Amen. That this gospel is for all people that are far off. Our mission is Reach people, far from God, Amen for all whom the Lord God will call This Promise is for us and the Any Given Sunday you could call in the spirit of God, really any day and spirit God will change your life. You can you can confess The Jesus, repent turn from your ways and God will save you, and make you new verse 40, says, this with many other words, he warned them. So, Peter really allowed to say, good preacher, right? And he pleaded with them.

58:02 He said, save yourself some scrubs generation. Those who accept? This message were baptized and about 3,000 were added to the number that day. Not bad for a launch Sunday. Come on somebody, right. We had 345 people, we do not have 3,000 people. Get baptized come to Christ. Come on. SO Peter, man. Relations that is a great start to the church and I think about that. Those three thousand people showed up by Sunday. Dr. Going to the Feast of the Harvest. They came to Pentecost to celebrate, the law have been given to Father. Same rituals, the same old story religion, to do the same old thing. Those three thousand people had no idea that that Sunday was there, Sunday there. No idea what they're walking into, they had no idea that they're walking into a Revival, they had no idea their walk into the presence of Of the Holy Spirit. They had no idea about the war that Jesus wage for their soul that no idea that Peter had a promise who's going to stand on that day is you bring the word with power from memory from his heart with great expectation.

59:04 That God would move those 3,000 people didn't know it was their Super Bowl Sunday. I'm here today to tell you that every Sunday every day is somebody Super Bowl Sunday. Amen. And maybe that's you today, Maybe today you recognize, you need. Jesus and today is Jewish serve your soup will suck. And that this what happens when the expectation is set, this is what happens. Look at it goes on. Last passage, we're done verse 42. They being all these new Christians, devote themselves to the apostles teaching and to Fellowship to Breaking of bread and to prayer. This is a team built on faith. Come on somebody is that this is a winning team.

59:45 This is a recipe. Andy Reed can take this passage and say this is how As a Christian, both red, praying verse 43. Everyone was filled with awe in The Many Wonders of science is over the apostles, their student, all God, The Wonder of God, this point the I'd say, Okay God I can't do this, this is amazing, they hung themselves, no Blues were together United, everything in common, they sold property possessions, and give to anyone that had me there in love with Jesus and they cared for each other deeply, and every day they continue to meet together. I'm in the temple courts. I love this no longer were. They were they relict or they were recluse to a room or to a house. They said, bro, if we're going to use a church, we're going to reach the Jews first.

1:00:30 We're going to set up church. Right there, the temple courts. Come on, somebody were to go public with our faith. We're not going to launch somewhere. That's hidden. Where you put the light up on top of the hill so the world can see it. So, we're going public. So every Sunday through the walk bias, we go, what's going on? Oh yeah, we're worshiping Jesus. You will know about Jesus and they're reaching the world. Amen. There stood up like Peter. Stood said, the example and they broke bread in their homes. Ate together. Gladys, is your hearts praising, God, and join the favorite, all people, and the Lord added to their number daily. Those who were being saved. Is it any coincidence that people were coming to Christ every single day? They look at their patterns, right? Why do they do this?

1:01:12 Why they share in common, why, they why they go public, why they share the gospel, what was it? They had some good news, right? The good news, the gospel and they witness for themselves that the spirit of God was like, we're getting this out. It's coming through your lips, bro. To a loss of Dying World. You're going to speak that language. Good news is most you guys in here, speak English, come on somebody. So you've been equipped by the power of God, to tell the person next to you about Jesus, amen. And we have good news, we're sharing good news. That should be kept silence these men. They did everything they could to get the news out to share the good news of Jesus. And today as Christians that's our Mission. Amen, it's a share that same. Good news, not to be a jerk or to be judgy or to be ruthless.

1:01:54 You love people to Jesus. You lay yourself down and say, it's only because of God and your humble because you don't deserve it. We're at that special, not that strong. But Jesus is we point people to Jesus. So as Christians we show up on Sunday, we come with, great expectation. A men that God is going to move, amen. That's what we believe and what we didn't walk Your men hope God doesn't know. God is willing to do something. Are we ready? Are we prepared? We prayed up, is it personalized? Are you walking with like a purpose and intention? Are you talking to people about the wonders of God or you? Are you leaving your family? Well, do you go home and say, hey guys, let's talk about that. It was God, showing you may God was speaking to me about this, it was getting the Bible, never read pin it Pentecost, I'm gonna know more about that.

And today, we didn't just change a person by the power of the Holy Spirit. We changed a generation of people. Amen. Super Bowl Sunday, Any Given Sunday, God can do anything and change lives.

Hey guys, I am standing here with Anna and we had gotten amazing opportunity to get to know her over the past couple of months or family started attending here. And she started to come to real life, you can just really get invested in involved and I really just wanted you guys to have an opportunity to hear a little bit about her story. We had an opportunity to a couple weeks ago, just about her commitment and passion for God and like, kind of what draw that out in her just her decisions personally, to really pursue. Ooh, him on her own.

1:12:31 So once you tell us a little bit about that in a, what does make you decide? And how this passion for serving God on your own? I started in the young age are terms. Like my mom had always raised me to go to church and then eventually on and I believe it was sixth grade. I ended up getting baptized and I was just going through a rough time. And I'm like, all right, we're just gonna give everything to God. I put everything in God's hands and just really give it all. And honestly, like with youth, it connects so much and like, they've phrase things differently in like, In our terms of just giving our lives to God is something so amazing. And just giving your life to God and expensive, sold for stress-free. And like makes things so much easier life.

1:13:11 Yeah. So she was talking to me a little bit about just how she decided, you know, just a couple of months ago, just doesn't matter whether her church is going to continue to go. Whether her friends around her, going to continue to go, to church with she decided on her own that she was going to pursue time. Not just sending mornings and makes youth apriority as well. And she's really got some super connected. With everybody there. And so I just wanted her to kind of share a little bit about to about just what youth looks like on a Sunday night for you and what makes you keep coming back each and every week you on Sundays is such a good environment. Like being able to build those bonds with teams like my age and just that also have that same love for God. As I do, it's just I love being able to build those connections and be able to share my love for God and others and bringing friends was like part of it, like, oh well, I share my love of Jesus with them and they just fall in love. Jesus as much as I do and just yeah, it's really cool to see. And she's had a friend that's been coming with her super regularly and just to see not only the change in her life of the change in her friends like just from coming each and every week.

Without further Ado, Emma, there was some people sitting in the audience here today because some teenagers may be some adults and you just have been hesitant with like taking that next step to really like, Check real life. He's out. See what it's about. What would you tell them? I would say, give it a shot. Like you can't not want to do something. If you don't try it. Like there's you have to take that step of faith and just give it a shot because I was hesitant to try new Trojans after my old one. But I have finds like he's looking to love me, no matter where I'm at, just giving that next step and really try it.
