Introduction

• Author = Luke • He’s only mentioned by name 3X’s; • Date Written = A.D. 60-62• Acts tells us more about the Holy Spirit’s work than any

other book.• 2 Part Division Of Acts;• Peter is the key person in chapters 1-12; • Paul is the key person in chapters 13-28.• Luke/Acts =two volumes, this one work makes up over

one-fourth of the content of the New Testament

Page 7: Acts 5, The Personhood of the Holy Spirit, The scariest NT chapter, Satan can fill the heart, lying is sin, Gamaliel, rejoice in suffering, Psalm 110

Carefully Investigated, Eyewitness Account

• Luke 1:1-4 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

Page 8: Acts 5, The Personhood of the Holy Spirit, The scariest NT chapter, Satan can fill the heart, lying is sin, Gamaliel, rejoice in suffering, Psalm 110

The Promise Of The Holy Spirit “in”

• John 14:17-20 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you….20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

• Acts 2 fulfilled that prophecy

Proverbs 9:9, Teach

• Proverbs 9:9 Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.

Page 33: Acts 5, The Personhood of the Holy Spirit, The scariest NT chapter, Satan can fill the heart, lying is sin, Gamaliel, rejoice in suffering, Psalm 110

Acts 5:34, Gamaliel• Adam Clarke's Commentary says, “[A Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a

doctor of the law] "This," says Dr. Lightfoot, "was Rabban Gamaliel the first; commonly, by way of distinction, called Rabban Gamaliel the elder. He was president of the council after the death of his own father, Rabban Simeon, who was the son of Hillel. He was Paul's master, and the 35 th receiver of the traditions, and on this account might not be improperly termed nomodidaskalos, a doctor of the law, because he was one that kept and handed down the Cabala received from Mount Sinai. He died eighteen years before the destruction of Jerusalem, his son Simeon succeeding him in the chair, who perished in the ruins of the city." Though probably no favourer of Christianity, yet, for a Pharisee, he seems to have possessed a more liberal mind than most of his brethren; the following advice was at once humane, sensible, candid, and enlightened.

• Acts 5:41…rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

Science Question

• A goober was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn.

• "Is it turned on or off?"
