    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,158 views

    Gamaliel gives us a fine example of one who practiced wise toleration without sacrificing what is true, honorable and God inspired.

    All men stand in need of God’s forgiveness of sin.

    FORGIVENESS WITH GOD Acts 5:30-31 INTRO. Paul said, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

    Acts Series: 27th Sermon...He made a faulty comparison, used faulty criterion, and thus came to a faulty conclusion.

    Gamaliel: Ridin’ Fences Acts 5:33-39 I’ve always admired this man…he helped give the disciples a break…said some wise things in v. 39, but then I heard a sermon a few years ago which opened my eyes to the fact that this man is straddling the fence.

    This message deals with one of the consequences of following Jesus: Suffering!

    I’m encouraged today by the fact that 12 of our Brethren were not side-tracked by the Success Syndrome. To the Apostles of the First Church of Jerusalem, SUCCESS WAS SUFFERING SERVICE.
