    A look at the 12th Apostle, an enigma and archtype even 2,000 years later.

    THE 12 APOSTLES: JUDAS ISCARIOT INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Years ago in Ireland, there was a priest who was very anti-British. Every Sunday he would blast them from the pulpit. He became so notorious that the Pope himself summoned the priest to Rome for an audience. 2. The Pope, "I want peace ...read more

    Thomas: My Favorite Apostle

    The apostle Thomas gets the short end of the stick when we read about him and his "doubts" in the Gospel of John. He is more like you and I than we want to admit, and his story affirms it.

    When we read of where Jesus chose the Twelve men who would be known as the Apostles, we need to step back for a moment and realize that these men were ordinary working -class, salt-of-the-earth, rough around the edge individuals who had jobs ranging from catching fish to collecting taxes to a ...read more

    The apostle Paul, wherever he went, preached the same gospel.

    Illus: He was not like some of these politicians, they go to one part of the country and give one speech, then they go to another part of the country and say just the opposite. This “old time” religion that the Bible speaks about is good for everyone. It is good for the youth, the baby boomers, ...read more

    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

     | 1,735 views

    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

    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

     | 1,842 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

     | 1,455 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
