    An Outline Of Acts 8:1-25

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 4, 2021
     | 3,637 views

    The first section of Acts 8 describes briefly the persecution against the Church after Stephen's death and the results of Philip's ministry to a city in Samaria. This outline covers some of what he did there.

    Introduction: Acts 8 contains two events in the life of Philip, most likely another one of the original seven men called deacons. This first section relates how believers were “scattered abroad” after the death of Stephen (see Acts 7) and how Philip went to two very different places. Prologue: ...read more

    Simon Says

    This is a sermon that deals with how close someone can come to accepting Christ but still be lost.

    Simon Says! I assume everyone here at one time or another has played the game Simons say. One person calls out the commands but unless you add the phrase, “Simon Says” to it, you are not to do it. It was the jumping on one foot that always got me. My grandbabies love to play it with me.

    Sermon Restructuring The Church For Expansion Acts 8:1-8 “Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen.

     | 2,306 views

    To establish that Philip’s preaching of Christ in the city of Samaria was the beginning of his preaching of the Great Commission and the Holy Spirit’s revelation of the “pattern of conversion,” designed to save all believers by God’s grace through the faith in Christ.

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. Hear of the faith. 2. Believe in the gospel. 3. Repent of sins. 4. Confess faith in Christ. 5. Be Baptized into Christ Introductory Remarks. 1.

    A Church Without Walls

     | 6,194 views

    A study of the first congregation of the Lord provides us with the example of a church without walls. The members did gather for worship, but they were compelled to penetrate their world to tell others of Jesus. We must do the same in this day.

    “There arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (11 Of 39)

     | 1,464 views

    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

    There is a story told of a football game between two teams, the small animals and the big animals.

    In the first half, the big animals were winning. The score was 70 to nothing when half-time came. When the second half began, the big animals got in their huddle and planned their strategy. They decided to send the elephant down the left side with the ball. They threw him the ball and he ran hard ...read more

    Paul Vs Stephen (About The Resurrection Of Jesus)

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023
     | 1,689 views

    Paul and his friends could not win an argument against Stephen. In the end, Paul had an epiphany which lies in the understanding that God's love extends not only to Stephen and those he once persecuted but encompasses everyone, including himself.

    First, I am praying that at the end of this sermon, 1. We would have the desire to experience the deepest significance of Jesus’ resurrection in our lives. 2. We will never think of Paul’s story and Easter, the same way again. [PAUL/SAUL] • Paul was born, in about the same year or a little later ...read more
