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

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.

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 (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

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
