Growing Pains

Contributed by Daryl Bahn on Apr 22, 2002

The danger of growth is great. The need for growth is even greater. The love of Jesus, the Good Sheperd for his people is the greatest of all!

GROWING PAINS (Acts 6:1-9; 7:2a, 51-60) Intro: Wouldn’t it be great if our church suddenly grew by the thousands? The book of Acts demonstrates that this is possible.

Acts Of The Apostles 34 Of 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

In previous studies, we find all that had been prophesied about the apostle Paul had come to pass. He was taken by a mob that almost killed him, but was rescued by the chief captain who took him away from that crowd.

He was brought before a council that did not care a thing about justice. When he observed that the council was composed of both Pharisees and Sadducees, he divided the group by stating he was a Pharisee, and a firm believer in miracles and the resurrection. Since the Sadducees did not believe ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (4 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

I would remind you again, that Luke is writing to his good friend, Theophilus. He is reporting on the activities of Christ's apostles.

We can probably safely assume that Peter must have made a big impression on Luke, because in chapter two he recorded Peter's first message, and in chapter three he records Peter's second message. In Acts chapter three, we see three things we want to consider, such as: I. THEIR ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (6 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

At the beginning of the third chapter of Acts, the story of the glorious healing of the man who had been lame from birth is recorded.

This man was a picture of the sinner, who is born spiritually lame. God did an undeniable work in his life, but the ungodly, though religious, would not accept it. It is still the same today. God does great things, and still ungodly men will not accept what He does, and can do, for mankind. ...read more
