[The Gospel According to the Acts of the Apostles – THE CHURCH IN ACTION (part 42)] 
The Holy Spirit Fell on All Who Heard the Word (ACTS 10:44-48)
 
(1.) [v.44] While hearing the Word of God being read, sung, preached, etc., how has the Holy Spirit fallen upon you? Are you hearing God’s Word in a way that invites the Holy Spirit to come down and fill up your life? What is different about hearing the Word without the Holy Spirit versus hearing the Word with the falling of the Spirit upon your mind, heart, and body? How has the Holy Spirit taught you to hear Him through the Word?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2.) [v.45-46a] When have you been amazed at when the Holy Spirit worked in a way you didn’t expect? How do you see the Holy Spirit working through the Word of God in the same way in other people, other Bible-centered churches, other cultures, other languages, etc? When the Holy Spirit fills you and is poured out into you, how do you extoll God with your speech? Has God given you the Spirit’s gift of speaking other languages/tongues? If so, how are you using your bilingual/trilingual capacity to help others hear the Word and be filled with the Holy Spirit too?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3.) [v.46b-48] Are you withholding or delaying water baptism for yourself or anyone else in your household on whom the Holy Spirit has touched and is being received? Now, the sign of belonging to God’s covenant people (His Church) was no longer made in the flesh (circumcision), but by water through baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Have you and your household been marked with this sign by water, and how important is it to you to encourage others to receive the mark of water, receiving them into Christ’s body?
 
 
[Korean translation]
“성령이 말씀 듣는 모든 사람에게 내려오셨다” (사도행전 10장 44-48절)
 
(1.) [44절] 하나님의 말씀을 읽거나, 찬양하거나, 설교하는 등의 방식으로 들을 때, 성령님께서 어떻게 임하셨습니까? 성령님께서 임하셔서 당신의 삶을 충만하게 하시도록 하나님의 말씀을 듣고 있습니까? 성령님 없이 말씀을 듣는 것과 성령님께서 마음과 생각과 몸에 임하시면서 말씀을 듣는 것에는 어떤 차이가 있습니까? 성령님께서는 말씀을 통해 어떻게 그분의 음성을 듣도록 가르쳐 주셨습니까?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2.) [45-46절] 성령께서 예상치 못한 방식으로 역사하시는 것을 보고 놀라웠던 적이 있습니까? 다른 사람들, 다른 성경 중심 교회, 다른 문화, 다른 언어 등에서 성령께서 하나님의 말씀을 통해 같은 방식으로 역사하시는 것을 어떻게 보십니까? 성령께서 충만하시고 부어주실 때, 당신은 말로 어떻게 하나님을 찬양합니까? 하나님께서 당신에게 방언을 말하는 은사를 주셨습니까? 그렇다면, 당신은 어떻게 이중 언어/삼중 언어 능력을 사용하여 다른 사람들이 말씀을 듣고 성령으로 충만하도록 돕고 있습니까?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3.) [47-48절] 성령이 임하시고 받아들인 당신 자신이나 당신의 가족 구성원 중 누구에게도 물세례를 주지 않거나 미루고 있습니까? 이제 하나님의 언약 백성(그분의 교회)에 속한다는 표징은 더 이상 육체(할례)로 행해지는 것이 아니라 예수 그리스도의 이름으로 물세례를 통해 주어집니다. 당신과 당신의 가족은 이 물의 표징을 받았습니까? 그리고 다른 사람들이 물의 표징을 받고 그리스도의 몸 안으로 영접하도록 권면하는 것이 당신에게 얼마나 중요합니까?
 
*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on week 3 of this Lenten season.
 
Scripture:
 
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. (LUKE 9:23)
 
Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple… So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple. (LUKE 14:27; LUKE 14:33)
 
And he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. (2 CORINTHIANS 5:15)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You week 3 of this holy Lenten season as we approach Easter 2026. As we follow the devotional theme “The Way of the Cross” this week, draw us closer to the ways of Jesus as He joyfully and obediently bore all of our sins in His body on the cross. Give us a clear vision of our cross – the posture of self-denial, the place of self-death to our worldly desires, ambitions, and sinful addictions. Challenge us in our fasting and praying if we are truly following after our Lord Jesus with the weight of our cross daily on our shoulders. For whoever does not bear his own cross and come after You cannot be Your disciple. For anyone who does not renounce all that he or she has cannot be Your disciple. Crucify us again with Christ, so that we no longer live, but only Christ who lives in and through us. Crucify us with Christ so that we might no longer live for ourselves, but for Him who for our sake died and was raised. Confirm in us through this Lenten season that Christ is truly there by the weight of our cross truly bearing down upon our shoulders, counting the cost, going the way of the cross as a true follower of Jesus Christ. Bless our worship today with the exaltation of Your Word in preaching and obeying. Bless our breakout discussions during-lunch with Spirit-filled reflections on it. Bless our breaking of bread, and the dessert ministries and celebrations of March birthdays. Bless this Saturday’s Crawfish boil at the radical generosity of Your servants, Deacon Juhae & Hoon. For all who come, fill not only their stomachs with food, but their souls and hearts with Your radical generosity to go and do the same for each other as the Park’s have shown. As we move forward an hour next Sunday, let us not think an hour is lost, but be alert for the hour of Christ’s return, causing us to live in greater watchfulness and fervency to holiness. Through our Lord of all hours and of all time, Jesus Christ who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, Amen & amen.
