Summary
Acts 1:15-21 - In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, 16 “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17 For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.” 18 (Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. 19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms, “‘May his camp become desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in it’; and “‘Let another take his office.’ 21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.” 23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the morning mindset. I hope you're ready to get your mind |
| 0:08.0 | aligned with the truth of God that we find in the scripture. That's our goal every morning |
| 0:13.3 | on the morning mindset. I want to ask you to consider for a moment how you go about making |
| 0:19.0 | the important decisions in your life. We're going to look at one example in the New Testament |
| 0:24.9 | of how followers of Jesus in the very first century of the church made important decisions. |
| 0:31.5 | But before we get there, I want to thank some very special people, Robbie and Jesse and Tim |
| 0:36.0 | and Cheryl and Jill. These are all people who have come along as partners to the morning mindset. |
| 0:42.0 | You can do so for as little as $5 a month you receive an extra podcast along with that |
| 0:47.3 | called Digging Deeper and a handful of other things. Please go to the description of this episode |
| 0:53.1 | if you're interested in becoming a partner. All right, let's look back into the book of Acts. |
| 0:58.6 | We are looking at chapter one. These events are outlined for us by the writer Luke and Luke |
| 1:06.4 | was one of those who had followed Jesus around during his time on earth. He wasn't one of the |
| 1:12.4 | original 11 disciples, but he was in this ever growing crowd of people who knew about Jesus and |
| 1:19.0 | who were drawn to him and who wanted to understand who he really was. And Luke's account here |
| 1:26.6 | is very insightful. He must have been one of the ones who was there in the upper room after Jesus |
| 1:32.0 | had gone back to heaven because he's giving first hand accounts of what happened. Now look here |
| 1:38.3 | at what happens. Verse 15, in those days Peter stood up among the brothers. The company of |
| 1:44.8 | persons was in all about 120. So think about that. 120 people crammed into this upper room and a |
| 1:51.7 | house or in a business of some sort. He says, brothers, the scripture had to be fulfilled, |
| 1:57.8 | which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas who became a guide |
| 2:04.0 | to those who arrested Jesus. For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry. |
| 2:11.6 | Now this man acquired a field with a reward of his wickedness and falling headlong, he burst open |
