Peter Roselle: The Liberating King (Acts 28:31 Voice)
Channel: King of Kings Worship Center
Date: 2020-05-07

Acts 28:31 (Voice )says Paul, “proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the ultimate authority — the Lord Jesus, God’s Anointed, the Liberating King.” We love that name of God: The Liberating KING! This is the last verse in the book of Acts, the book that describes the incredible birthing and growth of the early church that turned the world upside down. Our lives today should be lived like “Acts 29,” a continuation of the dynamic growth of the ultimate authority of Christ. Let's introduce the world to the Liberating King!

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

Philippians 3 (Voice) A New Plumb Line
18 -19 We have many enemies—
people who reject the cross…
They are ruled by their bellies, 
their glory comes by shame, 
and their minds are fixed on the things of this world. 
They are doomed. 
20-21 But we are citizens of heaven,
exiles on earth 
waiting eagerly for a Liberator, 
our Lord Jesus the Anointed, 
to come and transform these humble, earthly bodies into 
the form of His glorious body by the same power that brings 
all things under His control.

Romans 8
11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised 
Jesus from the dead dwells in you, 
He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal 
bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
12-13 Therefore, brethren, we are 
debtors — not to the flesh, 
to live according to the flesh. 
For if you live according to the flesh 
you will die; but if by the Spirit  you
put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, 
these are sons of God.

Romans 8
15 For you did not receive the spirit of 
bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption 
by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 
16-17 The Spirit Himself bears witness 
with our spirit that we are children of God,
 and if children, then heirs —
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer 
with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
18 Now I’m sure of this: 
the sufferings we endure now are not even worth comparing
 to the glory that is coming and will be revealed in us. 
19 For all of creation is waiting, 
yearning for the time when 
the children of God will be revealed. 
20-21 You see, all of creation has
collapsed into emptiness, 
not by its own choosing, but by God’s. 
Still, He placed within it a deep and 
abiding hope that creation would one day be liberated from 
its slavery to corruption and experience the glorious 
freedom of the children of God.
22-25 For we know that 
all creation groans in unison with birthing pains 
up until now. And there is more; it’s not just creation—
all of us are groaning together too. 
Though we have already tasted the 
firstfruits of the Spirit, we are longing for the total redemption 
of our bodies that comes when our adoption as children of 
God is complete — for we have been saved in this hope and for this future… 
If we wait expectantly for things we 
have never seen, then we hope with true perseverance and eager anticipation.

Romans 8:6-10
For to be carnally minded is death, 
but to be spiritually minded 
is life and peace. 
Because the carnal mind is enmity 
against God; for it is not subject to 
the law of God, nor indeed can be. 
So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh but in the 
Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if 
anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead 
because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of [covenant faithfulness].

The Journey to Rome (Voice Commentary)
Luke’s story in Acts is a narration about “the Way” 
as it moved from Jerusalem (at the edge of the empire) to Rome 
(the celebrated center of the world). 
Therefore, Luke’s story finishes once the message of 
Jesus is spreading without hindrance.
As it moves geographically, “the Way,” crosses cultural,
 linguistic, and religious boundaries. At every point, Luke assures, 
the Spirit is there demonstrating God’s blessing on - and approval of – 
the emissaries who walk in the footsteps of Jesus and in fulfillment of prophecies.
Clearly what happened in those early 
decades was driven by the Spirit-wind of heaven; and God’s 
purposes are realized through the faithful obedience of disciples 
such as Peter, Stephen, Philip, and Paul.
Luke’s account has ended, but the story 
about the acts of God through the church continues into our day. 
We are the characters in the current 
volume of salvation history. 

Through our faithful obedience, also empowered by the 
Spirit-wind of heaven, our stories are part of the 
anthology of God’s new creation.
