    Acts Of The Apostles # 23 Of 39

    Every city in America today is having similar problems.

    There are problems of housing, the homeless, drugs, alcohol, teen rebellion, divorce, abuse, racial unrest, etc. This list, in no way includes all the problems, but these exist in all of our major cities and they are tearing towns and cities apart while churches sit back feeling like their hands ...read more

    In chapter fifteen we have reached the fourth major turning point in the book of Acts.

    (1) The first major turning point was when the Church was filled with the Holy Ghost in Acts, chapter 2. (2) The second major turning point was when the Christian Church was able to convert the apostle Paul from Judaism in Acts 9. (3) The third major turning point, was when the Christian ...read more

    Today we enjoy the freedom we have in America, and think very little about the men and women who bought and paid for it!

    Illus: It is easy for me to understand why some of the old soldiers who faced death itself, some even lost legs, eyes, arms, etc., become angry when they see people who have done nothing to win, or keep, their freedom, wanting to burn the symbol of that freedom, the flag. Well, that is not the ...read more

    When God miraculously opened the door for the gentiles to be saved, it was an exciting time for His church.

    God selected Paul and Barnabas to carry out His first missionary assignment. They were not self-appointed, nor were they appointed by men. As they were serving the Lord, the Holy Ghost called them out, saying, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work...” They were APPOINTED BY GOD, SENT BY ...read more

    Have you ever thought about what God goes through to win a soul that is hungry for the truth?

    While we may not think about it, the Scripture reveals God did some marvelous things in the lives of some Bible characters, as He sent them out to win souls to Christ. In this text we see just one example: I. THE DEDICATION Look at verses 1-3, “Now there were in the church that was at Antioch ...read more

    Paul wrote to young Timothy and said, “…that thou...war a good warfare.”

    Illus: It is obvious, from much of Paul’s writings, that he thought of the Christian life as a warfare. He spoke of Christians as soldiers, in training, discipline, and even in having weapons. In the Book of Acts, we can see so clearly that Christians are soldiers. In one chapter we read ...read more

    Have you ever wondered why God promised to reward us for the good deeds we do in this life?

    The first thought that occurs is that He loves us, and wants to reward our good deeds as a father would reward his child for a good report card. Romans 8:17b says, “...and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." This is one ...read more

    After the young Christian church had been through much persecution, it was called upon to do two unusual things:

    • Accept Saul, who had been one of the worst enemies it had. • Accept the Gentiles as part of the Christian church. We must remember, the young Christian church was composed of Jews who, although saved, had been raised from childhood to consider that anyone who was a gentile, was on the ...read more

    The apostle Paul was a very unusual man. He also had a very unusual conversion.

    There is a small similarity between Saul’s conversion and that of the Ethiopian eunuch. They were both converted on a road. One of the differences in these two conversion is that the Ethiopian eunuch was converted in a chariot, and Saul was converted laying on the ground. It is a marvelous thing ...read more

    Remember that we read in the sixth and seventh chapters of Acts, about the life and death of that great deacon, Stephen.

    The church lamented his death, and probably wondered who could take his place. They did not need to wonder, because when the Lord takes a saint home, He always raises up someone to take up where that saint left off. When we got to chapter 8, by the time we got to the fifth verse, we found that ...read more

    Chapters 6 and 7, told us how God used the great deacon, Stephen, and how he gave his life for the gospel.

    Now we are going to study about how that affected the church. When some people who belong to church die, it does not have much of an impact on God's work, because they did not love the Lord, or His church. But when a man like Stephen dies, it leaves a vacuum for some time. Look at verse ...read more

    In chapter six, the apostles felt the need to bring before the church the task of selecting seven deacons.

    They chose seven outstanding men. However, one of those men stands out head and shoulders above the rest. His name was Stephen. Most of chapters six and seven deal with Stephen, this man of God, who was so greatly used by God. Have you ever wondered why they singled Stephen out. The church ...read more

    In chapter 5, we discovered that the Lord had to purge the early church of hypocrisy.

    The people learned to fear the Lord, and those who loved Him went on serving Him faithfully, filling all of Jerusalem with their doctrine. Look at Acts 5:28, We read, “Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your ...read more

    One thing every Pastor has remind his congregation of, is, WHEN THE LORD MOVES IN THE CHURCH, WE CAN REST ASSURED THE DEVIL WILL MOVE IN ALSO.

    As we come to the fifth chapter of the Book of Acts, God had moved by the power of the Holy Spirit in a great way. But when we get to chapter five, we see where the devil makes his move, through a couple in the church called Ananias and Saphirra. WHAT KIND OF CHURCH MEMBERS WERE THEY? They ...read more

    Luke wrote to Theophilus, telling him of some of the great events of the early church.

    As he tells of these events, it is like an unwinding story in which one event leads into the next. For example, after Pentecost, he leads into chapter 3, and tells of Peter and John going into the temple. He tells of the man who had been crippled from birth, asking them for alms. Luke related ...read more
