    Acts Of The Apostles 35 Of 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,448 views

    In Acts twenty-four we find the apostle Paul is being held in custody as a common criminal, waiting for his accusers to arrive, and is to appear before Antonius Felix, the governor of Judaea.

    Felix was a politician in every sense of the word. He had risen from being a subservient person, to the position of Governor of Judaea. He got his start through the influence of his brother at the imperial court of Claudius. He married three Princesses, which also elevated his career. The first ...read more

    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

    Paul was warned several times against going to Jerusalem, but he felt he must.

    Yes, Paul had been warned and the words of the warning came true. He was bound and made prisoner. In chapter 23, we read of his defense in the presence of the council. We read of: I. THE ABUSE A. HIS CONDUCT Verse 1, "And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and ...read more

    When Paul arrived in Jerusalem, he gave a report of how God had been using him to bring scores of Gentiles to the Lord.

    . After his report, the church leaders in Jerusalem told him about the devout Jews who were still practicing the Jewish ceremonial laws along with their salvation. They suggested that Paul, rather than incite a riot, join four men who had just completed their Nazarite vow, so when the devout Jews ...read more

    The Bible records many oral reports that were given.

    For example, if you remember in the Old Testament, Moses sent out the ten spies to scout out the land and they came back and gave their report. Some of them gave a very negative report. They said that they should not attempt to invade the land because there were giants in the land, and they would ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles # 30 Of 39

     | 1,001 views

    Paul had been having great success, especially in Ephesus.

    He was now making every effort to go back to Jerusalem. He had been seeing Gentiles saved by the scores, and no doubt he began to think of his own Jewish people, who were lost without Christ, and wanted to go back and share the gospel with them. Illus: One of the frustrations that we Christians ...read more

    Few, if any of us have experienced revival as the apostle Paul experienced in Ephesus.

    These new converts, that had been raised up worshipping the goddess Diana with all the magic formulas and superstitions, had truly been converted. They revealed this by the fact that they turned from all this false worship and burned the items that had anything to do with it, in a public place ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles # 26 Of 39

     | 1,557 views

    In chapter eighteen, we learned that Apollos had traveled from Ephesus to Corinth.

    In our text, we learn Paul left Corinth to go to Ephesus where Apollos had come from. When Paul arrived at the place where Apollos had been preaching and teaching, he discovered the disciples had the same problem that Apollos had. Remember, when Apollos came to Corinth he was a dedicated Christian, ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles # 25 Of 39

     | 1,225 views

    In this chapter we see something that is of major importance.

    Paul had spent eighteen months at Corinth, reasoning with the Jews and planting the seed of Christ's being the Son of God, but had had very little success. He left, and Apollos came behind him, and had tremendous success. This passage reveals that Apollos was successful for two ...read more

    When Paul and Silas left Thessalonica, they left it in a turmoil.

    The Jews that did not believe, showed their jealousy by attacking the household of Jason, who had lodged Paul and Silas, since they could not take their revenge out on them personally. Verse 10, says, "And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming ...read more

    Every city in America today is having similar problems.

    There are problems of housing, the homeless, drugs, alcohol, teen rebellion, divorce, abuse, racial unrest, etc. This list, in no way includes all the problems, but these exist in all of our major cities and they are tearing towns and cities apart while churches sit back feeling like their hands ...read more

    In chapter fifteen we have reached the fourth major turning point in the book of Acts.

    (1) The first major turning point was when the Church was filled with the Holy Ghost in Acts, chapter 2. (2) The second major turning point was when the Christian Church was able to convert the apostle Paul from Judaism in Acts 9. (3) The third major turning point, was when the Christian ...read more

    Today we enjoy the freedom we have in America, and think very little about the men and women who bought and paid for it!

    Illus: It is easy for me to understand why some of the old soldiers who faced death itself, some even lost legs, eyes, arms, etc., become angry when they see people who have done nothing to win, or keep, their freedom, wanting to burn the symbol of that freedom, the flag. Well, that is not the ...read more

    When God miraculously opened the door for the gentiles to be saved, it was an exciting time for His church.

    God selected Paul and Barnabas to carry out His first missionary assignment. They were not self-appointed, nor were they appointed by men. As they were serving the Lord, the Holy Ghost called them out, saying, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work...” They were APPOINTED BY GOD, SENT BY ...read more

    Have you ever thought about what God goes through to win a soul that is hungry for the truth?

    While we may not think about it, the Scripture reveals God did some marvelous things in the lives of some Bible characters, as He sent them out to win souls to Christ. In this text we see just one example: I. THE DEDICATION Look at verses 1-3, “Now there were in the church that was at Antioch ...read more
