    Those Gentiles!

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 27, 2013
     | 3,853 views

    We Gentiles have been granted repentance by God. This gift is of greater worth than anything this world has to offer. The early church was not excited to open the door of faith to us. What then shall be our response to God's gift of grace?

    What to do with those Gentiles!? Acts 11 records when the doors of the church swung wide open to every nation and Peter was called on the carpet for taking the first steps. We look at this today and wonder how they could have missed it. Did not Jesus himself commission them to go into all the ...read more

    If you were to ask people in a crowded restaurant how many are Christians most would probably raise their hand. But when you ask what does that mean; well, you would get many different answers. So, how can we tell the true from the false?

    Title: “Christians…” Text: Acts 11:19–26 Introduction: I’ve been thinking—always a dangerous thing for a Baptist preacher, I know—but what does it really mean to be a Christian? Is it walking an aisle? Shaking a preacher’s hand? Maybe it’s when you get baptized? (Though I’ve seen some folks go ...read more

    Paul is commissioned to preach to the Gentiles

    Title: A VOICE, A VISION, and A VISIT Acts 11:1-18 and John 13:31-35 Peter was staying at the home of Simon the Tanner. This wasn’t a place that a Jew should have been staying. Simon dealt with dead animals and that made him unclean. But Peter was there anyway. (How many of you know that ...read more

    The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. This message takes a look at what a "real," biblical Christian looks like and does.

    * Explain how the meanings of many words have changed over time (i.e., spam; cell; wicked; awful; etc.) * How the meaning of "Christian" has changed: today there are many "types" of Christians (i.e., active/inactive; marginal; radical; involved/uninvolved; secret; casual; etc.) * The most ...read more

    Gentleness

    I must say this, today there is a sadistic and egoistic pleasure in being snobby, overbearing, rude and curt? We have just forgotten to be kind, gentle and pleasant!

    Gentleness… Acts 11:2’And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him…’ It is sad that many are skeptical about fasting! Let us not do fasting as a ritual or a religious custom like many do these days without any change in them. Are you ...read more

    Inductive sermon speaking about names, possible names for Jesus' followers, and then settling on "Christian" and its meaning for believers.

    HOW DO YOU WEAR YOUR NAME? Acts 11:19-26 INTRODUCTION Today we will be talking a lot about names. As you came in, you received a nametag. Hopefully it is a nametag with your name on it.

    In Acts 11:1-18, we begin to see the legacy of faith and risk-taking for the sake of the Gospel that included us in the promises of Christ

    Acts 11:1-18 It all started when they saw Jesus for the last time. His last words to them, “And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and all Judea, and Samaria, and to the very ends of the earth.” Peter was among those who heard these words, and believed them. I’m sure, ...read more
