Acts Of The Apostles (13 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

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

Acts Of The Apostles (12 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

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

Acts Of The Apostles (11 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

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

Acts Of The Apostles (10 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

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

Acts Of The Apostles (9 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

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

Acts Of The Apostles (8 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

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

Acts Of The Apostles (7 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

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

Acts Of The Apostles (5 Of 39)

In the previous sermon in this series, we dealt with the exciting story of God healing the lame man.

We saw that when the Lord healed him, he went into the temple, "And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful. Gate of the temple... " Anyone who knew this man, knew this was a miracle, because they knew he had been ...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

The Proof Of Extravagant Grace

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 16, 2025

Grace is the unearned, undeserved, and unmerited favour of God. When it is described as extravagant, it refers to the overwhelming, boundless, and radical nature of God’s mercy that reaches the worst of sinners and restores them to sonship.

THE PROOF OF EXTRAVAGANT GRACE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Luke 15:11–24 "And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me.
