Week 2
1. Ignite: to catch fire and/or burst into flames- a passion-causing a reaction/response/action
2. The Church of Ephesus
a. Revelation 2:1-6 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the
seven golden lampstands. I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have
tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have
not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at
first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the
Nicolaitans, which I also hate.”
3. Lydia
a. Acts 16:11-15 “From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day we went on to Neapolis.
From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district[a] of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days. On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. When she and the members of her household were baptized, she invited us to her home. “If you consider me a believer in the Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.”
b. Lydia’s FIRST WORKS!
i. She baptized her ENTIRE Household!!!
ii. SHE begged for Paul and Silas to stay with her!
4. Two Disciples
a. Luke 24: 13-35 “ Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking
with each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.
b. He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”
c. They stood still, their faces downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
d. “What things?” he asked.
e. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning but didn’t find his
body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just
as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”
f. He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and
then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
g. As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it
is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
h. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized
him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the
Scriptures to us?”
i. They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together and saying, “It is true! The Lord
has risen and has appeared to Simon.” Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.
