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 (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

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

A Gracious Act And An Ungrateful Recipient

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 16, 2022

The miracle of the healing of the lame man in John 5:1-17 was a demonstration not only of the power of the Lord Jesus but was also an example of the grace of God that too many people take for granted.

The Scriptures contain numerous accounts of the healing power of God. He has the power, grace, and mercy that is HIs Holy character. He has the authority to grant the restoration of health to anyone He sovereignly chooses. Scripture tells of health being restored to people through intercession ...read more

How important are sacrificial acts like praise and sharing? Let's discuss this in Hebrews 13.

Addressing A Crowd (Acts 22)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 10, 2025

How did Paul address a crowd of fellow Jews?

Would Paul’s willingness to walk into danger allow him to address many Jews and the supreme council, the Sanhedrin? Does preaching the Gospel sometimes involve great personal sacrifice? Let’s look at Acts 22. Why would Paul address the crowd in their sacred language? “Brethren and fathers, hear ...read more
