    Paul, Luke, and several other people had been shipwrecked on Malta. After staying there, these men and possibly others made the last leg of their journey to Rome itself. The journey wasn't always easy, though.

    Introduction: this last chapter of Acts begins with Paul and others on the island of Malta, and closes with Paul arriving at Rome, just as the Lord had promised (Acts 23:11, 27:24). Luke summarized nearly 30 years of church growth in one volume, from Jerusalem to Rome and then to other parts of the ...read more

     | 4,316 views

    How many times have we heard someone say as an excuse to the way they act, "That’s just the way I am and I can’t help it"? Christ is concerned with the way we act, and there are certain characteristics he wants us to develop in our lives.

    HOW SHOULD I ACT, ANYWAY? A. Have you been in an UNCOMFORTABLE situation where you didn’t know how to ACT? 1. Undoubtedly we all have at one time. ILLUSTRATION: It could be that you started work at a new JOB and you had no idea what you were supposed to DO or how to ACT. When you went to ...read more

    If we want the next generation(s) to know and love Jesus as much or more than we do, we must bring a child to Jesus, be a child ourselves, and bless a child every chance we get.

    Little 5-year-old Kayse Poland grew more and more excited about her first day of kindergarten, and her 3-year-old sister, Jayme, watched her with great fascination. On the Sunday before the first day of school, Kayse fell and skinned her knee. Tears began to flow, and Jayme, seeing the blood on ...read more

    Acts 13 is a turning point in the history of the Church. Barnabas and Saul were personally selected by the Holy Spirit for a special mission. They left Antioch, preached through Cyprus, and experienced several things.

    Introduction: Acts 13 could serve as a turning point in the Church’s story. The first 12 chapters are primarily concerned with the beginning of the Church and the issues facing the Church near Jerusalem. Now Luke is relating how the Church was going “to the uttermost part of the earth.” 1 Antioch: ...read more

    Many things are done that are attributed to the Spirit, but He did not do them. Discernment is needed.

    The Holy Spirit is Not A Side Show Act When I was a new Christian I latched on to anything that had Christian in it. I had every part of Jesus Christ Superstar memorized. Then I found out it was written by a Jew and an atheist and was not meant to be a ...read more

    The apostles were becoming too busy to meet the needs of the disciples as well as being devoted to the ministry of the Word. This outline gives a "talking paper" format as to how the apostles handled this challenge.

    Introduction: After the events of Acts 5, the apostles found themselves in a predicament. They realized they needed assistance and presented the facts to the multitude of disciples. Then the disciples themselves chose the men who assist in the situation at hand. Text, Acts 6:1-7, KJV: 1 And in ...read more

    Lydia and others had believed the Gospel. Paul, Silas, Luke, and other members of this team were staying in Philippi to preach and teach. But trouble was just around the corner for these men.

    Trouble for the Team in Philippi Introduction: After Lydia and presumably others believed the Gospel, Paul, Silas, Luke, and other members of this team stayed in Philippi to preach and teach. The Church in Philippi grew from this small group (see Paul’s letter to the Philippians) to a great ...read more

    This outline is admittedly brief but covers a section of Paul's life where a lot of things took place. The passage and outline might be good for a devotional or lesson. Feel free to use this as the Lord leads.

    Introduction: This passage is brief but covers a good bit of time during Paul's life and work. Text: Acts 18:18-23, KJV: 18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn ...read more

    This outline shows how Peter and John found a man who was lame, and healed him, as they were on their way to the Temple.

    Introduction: Acts chapter 3 has the record of the first miracle after Jesus went back to Heaven. Peter and John walked by a man who was born lame, but healed him on the spot!

    Ananias and Sapphira sold a piece of land and gave part of the money to the apostles. But there was something not quite right about this and it became clear very quickly. This is another outline from a mini-series on Acts I preached several years ago.

    Introduction: the early church faced a significant problem: taking care of new converts and their needs. The last verses of Acts 4 describe how people sold things they owned and gave the money to the apostles to help meet these needs. Barnabas, a Levite of Cyprus, even sold a piece of land and gave ...read more

    The apostles were taken into custody another time and stood trial the next day. Compare what Peter said, and what Gamaliel said, as responses to the charges! This outline is revised from one I used in preaching a miniseries on Acts several years ago.

    Introduction: the apostles were healing people, through the power of God, so much that even people from outside Jerusalem were bringing their sick folks there for healing. Verses 12-16 give a brief summary of these activities. All of this no doubt led to the high priest and others taking action to ...read more

    Paul, Silas, and Timothy left Philippi and made their way to Thessalonica and later Berea. They preached, people believed, but others did not. This is an action-packed episode in Paul's life and ministry.

    Introduction: Paul, Silas and Timothy had left Philippi. Now they’re heading towards Thessalonica and later Berea.
