Don't worry if you can't follow along with his. I want to share with you from the tips of my heart to you got a Bible you need with me.

Acts chapter 1 the book of acts chapter 1, I just open your Bibles to acts chapter 1 and just hold on leave just hold your Bible in acts chapter 1 because I want to say something to all of you. I'm cold. You opted God is calling me out. I preach the message you talk. My prayer for you for me what is that pray that we would be the people of God during the work of God by the power of God. I don't want to be anything other than God's man doing God's work by God's power. I'm praying for you that you would be God's will bring God's work, but God's power. God, I don't want ho-hum life anymore. I want life to be full and meaningful, and Jesus say is that I can have it in the book of acts we we discover so many things the power of the gospel. I wish that I wish that you would just let go and take hold of what God has made available to you and to me, you don't have to sit so full second base. You don't have to tunnel underground anymore. You don't have to wake up day off the day off today saying this in emptiness and meet I'm looking for more. You don't have to keep looking for audiences in the wrong places God will give you everything necessary to turn your life upside down and here in the book of acts. This is an amazing situation here because in the opening verses of the book of acts we discover what Jesus gives us now what you just get a hold what Jesus gives us. Did you know that it is far then what you and I could do for Jesus. Then what Jesus does for us what he does for us puts what we could do for him in the short). The opening verses of the book of acts when we try to understand the power of the gospel we uncover what Jesus gives us… Preaching on this. There is a lot of things gives us something to say. He gives us something to do. He gives us some one to see, and he gives us some one to have had 40 does we not going to cover that older guy are promising. I'm focusing on something that's incredible because guys get this difference yes Jesus. This is the same Jesus Christ has just spent 70 argues on earth. I remember he was born in Bethlehem. I grew up as a boy and then he began to minister and teach and we know all the stories in fact who wrote the book of acts by the way Luke was a physician. He was a doctor who wrote the book of acts, and he actually talks about the gospel of because he sees in the opening verse in my former book he's talking about the gospel of Luke four Gospels in the Bible. Matthew, Mark, and Luke and drop in the book of Luke is all about the birth of Jesus and how Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan and then how he went around he grew up anywhere around healing the sick, teaching, preaching, during all the things that he did interacting with the disciples of the book of Luke tells us about the actions and activities that Jesus did when he was on the server and now Luke writes the book of acts, and he's reporting about the of Jesus life on earth because when Jesus got to the end of his life. They took him out of the garden of Gethsemane. They beat him to appall. They marched down the Via Dolorosa by put them on trial in front of Pontius Pilate and they crucified him upon the cross.

And when Jesus was crucified on the cross. He took upon himself nor send myosin God. I want you to just think about that promote this is always so far. It really is what most people in the world you you look at did you say wait a minute, Jesus died so I can just imagine how Satan must lick the straw. Satan looked at the slot and said man we finally got it.

This upstart this Jesus.

I mean, we managed to kill him.

He's been by the way, Jesus didn't go to sleep. He didn't swoon. He didn't like a map even type a siesta when he died.

He was stone graveyard. He died completely.

The reason Jesus died he gave up the ghost was because Jesus hacked die in Congress and in the great is the consequence of the Bible says the wages of sin is there. Jesus comes.

He's the son of God, God seems into this world because he loves us and Jesus takes upon himself the sin of the world and when he dies on the cross he takes all of our sin upon us, and he dies and he goes down into the it so and he leaves our sin.

There by the way, where is all. Soon that is still alive it's in hell where is all Davidson that is still alive it's in hell.

That's why when Jesus died, he took all our sin, and he went down into the pit of hell. Any costs and himself, and he unloaded and people out. They all said. But guess what happened. It was a note. The Bible says that God by his power raised up Jesus from the dead, and he brought them back to life. That's the resurrection. Jesus came back to life.

And when Jesus was brought back up the grave when he came back out of the grave. He didn't come back out of the grave with my students go on in his backpack he didn't come back out of the grave with Allison still in his all in his heart because Jesus when he died he crucified Allison and he came back to life, which means that when I know my faith and my trust in Jesus Christ. I am giving my heart to Jesus. And when I give my heart to Jesus in repentance of myosin. I am accepting the fact that Jesus Christ has paid the price taking upon himself myosin so that when I give my heart to Jesus, I can say I am crucified with Christ because myosin has been crucified with Christ and I'm raised up to walk in newness of life. Myosin is the client's phone graveyard. Because Jesus crucified myosin economics sipping a sacrifice of Jesus into my heart and into my life where you would've thought that was it there in the book of acts. The Bible tells us that was not it. The folks this is a very important question here is a very important statement. This is Jesus, he came in obedience to God the father.

He came down to this earth minister to us, took upon himself the son of the world. Then he went in obedience to the cross. He did everything that God wanted him to do. He died. He was God the worst kind of bid was crucified between two thieves. He cried out to God the father in agony. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me because in that moment a bit, God the father who is righteous and wonderful and magnificent could no longer look upon his son because he son became soon as even though he himself knew no sin.

He became every expression of our sinfulness because he was paying the penalty for Allison God by his power raised Jesus from the dead. Quite frankly, I think Jesus had done everything that was necessary and I think Jesus had every reason to come back out of the grave walk out of that to and ghostwrite back into heaven to be with God. The fall, everything was done but he didn't know Jesus did when he came back to life.

He spent 14 days on the earth appearing. The Bible says to over 500 people. There was a bunch of people that Jesus came out of the grave he appeared to them, and he began to give them something that you read about X chapter 1. This is what Luke says Dr. Luke says in my former book, the office I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and that is the book of acts until the day he was taken up to heaven. What often giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen often to his suffering did you see that God often his suffering.

Jesus showed himself to these men.

And he gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of 14 days and spoke about the kingdom of God. Hello. He spoke to them about the kingdom of God. The folks I want us to understand something here when I began to read that I said surely the Lord Jesus had a lot to tell the why the kingdom of God giving fact he didn't tell them about the kingdom of God.

What was it that he was giving to them. Jesus was giving you and me something to say.

Often Jesus went back to heaven.

So Lemme complete the story Jesus appeared over 500 people for 40 days then will read about it in the next couple weeks.

Jesus went up back on the amount of Ascension and he stood there and all of a sudden he began to take off, literally. He began cursing. The Bible says that he ascended into heaven, and a cloud hid him from the site of the disciples and he went to be seated at the right hand of the father at the throne of God. He went back to be seated on God's throat.who is God. God is what is God. God is sovereign. As Kate means that he is all-powerful.

He has all authority and all control. He is the God of the universe and Jesus Christ with back up and he was seated at the right hand of the father which is in heaven now making intercession for us.

But before he went he gave them something to say about last week I saved the whole study in the book of acts is going to help us to understand three things I want to help us to understand that Jesus Christ has all authority never do this study on the power of the gospel is going to help us to understand that the church has all of Christ's fullness and number three that we are the church and God is what this is so important to not know these things are not easy to understand. I'm gonna repeat them over and over and over again. Yes Jesus Christ is the son of God and Jesus came to the server as God, he never stopped being God. God gave to him all and all authority. When Jesus went back to heaven. All this of the Godhead. All of Christ's fullness was invested in the church. No wonder Jesus told his disciples at Caesarea Philippi and he said I want you to build my church, and when you establish my church on the rock. The wrapping Jesus Christ. I want you to know because you bring the church on the rock, who is Jesus Christ, that not even the gates of hell will be able to prevail against the church. Why all the gates of hell I'm able to ever break down the church because Jesus Christ has all authority. God is in charge and because he has invested all of who he is in his church.

And guess what you are not all the church listening to Dr. Don Wilton. He'll be back in just one with the rest of today's program. Don't go, but you need to know that this message as well as many more resources or higher website as well. Tewonline.org Margie that's tewonline.org G is also the place will discover great resources like this. What an incredible privilege to be framed and tossed Dr. Billy Graham for so many. That's why I have just written Saturdays with Billy. This is not a biography. It is my experience this most precious man who has changed in the lives of thousands of around you want to get a copy right now. Saturdays. Again, that's just one of many great resources on our website. TW online.org now back today's great teaching with Dr. Don Wilton what Jesus has all authority, all of you.

So far it is vested in the church we are the church, not just Jesus and he comes to this point in his life. He has been on the earth. He died on the cross. He was raised from the grave and he starts to walk all over the place, showing himself to over 500 people.

And guess what he gives. He gives them something to say and what he gives them to say is right. In verse three he spoke about the kingdom of God, folks.

Let's just get a hold on us. There are two kingdoms there are two kingdoms.

According to God's word that belong to God everybody ready for this. What is Jesus trying to tell us when he gave us something to say before he went back to hip. He spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and there are two kingdoms, one that is God's everything right but done God's everything kingdom. I just called at 4%. When God spoke about the kingdom.

He was speaking. First of all, the Jesus Christ about God's everything kingdom. If you want to get a good all fancy word if you love writing down fancy words, God's universal kingdom.

Let's listen to what the psalmist savings, hundred and three verse 19 is what David said I love this passage. This what David said. David said that the Lord has established his throne in the heavens and his sovereignty. What's this got all that's God's everything kingdom, God's everything kingdom that Jesus was talking about is the absolute spiritual fact that God everything right anybody today worshiping would like to stand up and tell me that you own anything as far as God is concerned.

Anyone like to tell God that you own everything that you have when Jesus comes in your heart.

One of the things that happens, folks. As you realize that everything that you have everything that you all belongs to him right.

This is God's everything kingdom our money on motor cars. Our studies the trees, the mountains, the rivers, the countries the states the affairs of mankind, God, everything, it means that God is involved in the affairs of man and the question is, I believe that God has established his throne universe that he is sovereign in the so many of us holding to so much when I study these things.

Folks are come to grips with the fact that God sits upon. He strode the universal kingdom that Jesus Christ was trying to tell these people about before he left in his bodily presence.

He was looking in the places you say anything with everything at my disposal as a believer in Jesus Christ is that you need to understand that God everything here so here's the back give them everything you know there are hundreds of young people get. I love you so much. I'm so proud of our students. Karen came over your loss not to be with safe and with such an incredible. It was just wonderful here in the hangar with all the students when the drama to see what was going on in the reports that are coming on in the way you guys are living out your life and you conduct in your value system and your self-worth.

If I if you ever gave to me the privilege of walking up to you and you would say to me.if you have one thing that you could say to us, and there was nothing else that you could say to us as a teenager.

As a student, what would it be I think folks in my heart. God not look into your heart and I'd say just let go of everything because God owns it. Anyway, that's God's everything kingdom, but the bottom line is, when Jesus looked at us. He gave us something to say what he gave us concerning the kingdom of God. On the one side of the kingdom of God, which is everything about God has to do with everything you so because he is God. Everything is is God people.

Nothing belongs. It all belongs. You know what I'm praying for you and for me we would be the people of God doing the work of God by the power of God. This kingdom is two-sided to full part of the same scheme because God is one God.

When Jesus spoke about the kingdom of God. In verse three, one side he was talking about God's everything kingdom but on the other side. He was talking about God's every one of God is the God of everything.

Ladies and gentlemen, he's the God of every one God's every one kingdom. It's not just about the fact that God made the trees and owns that it's about the fact that God made me and has a personal relationship with me. Someone said to me recently.what's the difference between Christianity and every religion that you could possibly 91 difference is that Jesus Christ has set with because he loves God every day, times, plus God spoke by means of the profit loss is Jesus Christ like one-on-one relationship with Jesus Christ my Savior. People long for me right personal relationship with. That's why Jesus spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God gave them something to say what powerful teaching Dr. Don Wilton you been listening to them from the pulpit analysis steps into the studio.
