    Just like there are no longer forbidden foods, the gospel is not withheld from you--though you are a Gentile.

    Fried Rattlesnake (Acts 10) Do you think St. Peter ever ate a snake? Acts chapter 10-11 it says that God showed Peter a vision of a hillbilly banquet coming down out of heaven (this is how some folks prove that heaven is East Texas, but I am not so sure). Anyway, it says there’s a snake on the ...read more

    Peter’s explanation of the events leading to the conversion of Cornelius (a Roman soldier and Gentile) bears witness to the surprising and yet familiar ways of God and points us to the new possibilities for surprise that the Resurrection message opens in in our lives.

    Fifth Sunday of Easter - Year C May 13, 2001 Acts 11:1-18 1st CENTURY PALESTINE: A WORLD WITHOUT SURPRISES This passage is all about the surprising works of God but to get the surprise you must have the back story.

    This sermon is for letting Christians know that they can achieve whatever goals in life they want too. This sermon is to get the believer to know that there mentality determines their level of blessings.

    In our text today, we are dealing with a young man by the name of Peter. I know you know Peter.

    This is just some Biblical examples in which the hand of the Lord was upon His people, and the hand of the Lord that came upon their enemies.

    INTRODUCTION "What has Athens to do with Jerusalem? What has the Academy to do with the Church? What have heretics to do with Christians?

    The model of the book of Acts is clear. The apostles went with the gospel to people not just like themselves, but to stangers. That’s what love compels us to do!

    Acts 11: 19-30 "Love" is one of those sadly misunderstood words in the human language today. What do people usually mean when they say they "love" something or someone? I consulted the American Heritage Dictionary of the Enlish Language. The definitions are ranked by how frequently they are ...read more

    It is altogether proper that we pay tribute to the memory of those who have died in the defense of our freedom, but we must never cease to remember the wonderful things we have as a result of the death of our Savior on Calvary.

    “THEN I REMEMBERED” “Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 11:16. Memorial Day is a holiday designated as a day of remembrance. Tomorrow, in national cemeteries across our land, we will pay ...read more

    “When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.” Note two things in this verse that will help us understand why we need more people like Barnabas in the church to

    MEET MISTER ENCOURAGEMENT Acts 11:19-26 As I began focusing on what to preach on Baptist Men’s Day, the Holy Spirit led me to take a fresh look at one of my favorite Bible Characters.

    As we examine this passage it is easy to see three outstanding things about these who were first called Christians. They had made a CHOICE for Christ. They had been CHANGED by Christ. They were accepting a CHALLENGE for Christ.

    The First Christians Acts 11:19-26 "Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were ...read more
