May 23 - "The Message"
Pastor Tommy McDearis
First Lesson: Acts 2:1-21
2:1: And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place.
2:2: And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
2:3: And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.
2:4: And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
2:5: Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
2:6: And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language.
2:7: And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilaeans?
2:8: And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born?
2:9: Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
2:10: in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
2:11: Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God.
2:12: And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
2:13: But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.
2:14: But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, saying , Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words.
2:15: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
2:16: but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:
2:17: And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams:
2:18: Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
2:19: And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
2:20: The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable day .
2:21: And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Second Lesson: Isaiah 11:1-6
11:1: And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.
11:2: And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.
11:3: And his delight shall be in the fear of Jehovah; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears;
11:4: but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
11:5: And righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.
11:6: And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
The Message: Luke 7:36-50
7:36: And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
7:37: And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
7:38: and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
7:39: Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
7:40: And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
7:41: A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty.
7:42: When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
7:43: Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
7:44: And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
7:45: Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
7:46: My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.
7:47: Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
7:48: And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
7:49: And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
7:50: And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
