    Acts Of The Apostles (19 Of 39)

     | 1,556 views

    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

    Paul wrote to young Timothy and said, “…that thou...war a good warfare.”

    Illus: It is obvious, from much of Paul’s writings, that he thought of the Christian life as a warfare. He spoke of Christians as soldiers, in training, discipline, and even in having weapons. In the Book of Acts, we can see so clearly that Christians are soldiers. In one chapter we read ...read more

    Have you ever wondered why God promised to reward us for the good deeds we do in this life?

    The first thought that occurs is that He loves us, and wants to reward our good deeds as a father would reward his child for a good report card. Romans 8:17b says, “...and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." This is one ...read more

    After the young Christian church had been through much persecution, it was called upon to do two unusual things:

    • Accept Saul, who had been one of the worst enemies it had. • Accept the Gentiles as part of the Christian church. We must remember, the young Christian church was composed of Jews who, although saved, had been raised from childhood to consider that anyone who was a gentile, was on the ...read more

    Many in America today, seem to be confused as to why, when we incarcerate law breakers, and send them through a rehabilitation program, they go back to doing the same crimes again, after they are released.

    Well, the problem is that we are trying to fix the wrong thing. Illus: If you had trouble with the carburetor on your car, and you took it to be fixed, and the mechanic worked on the transmission, you would find, when you drove the car from the garage, that you still had the same trouble as ...read more

    The apostle Paul was a very unusual man. He also had a very unusual conversion.

    There is a small similarity between Saul’s conversion and that of the Ethiopian eunuch. They were both converted on a road. One of the differences in these two conversion is that the Ethiopian eunuch was converted in a chariot, and Saul was converted laying on the ground. It is a marvelous thing ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (12 Of 39)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 917 views

    Remember that we read in the sixth and seventh chapters of Acts, about the life and death of that great deacon, Stephen.

    The church lamented his death, and probably wondered who could take his place. They did not need to wonder, because when the Lord takes a saint home, He always raises up someone to take up where that saint left off. When we got to chapter 8, by the time we got to the fifth verse, we found that ...read more

    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

    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

    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

    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. But when we get to chapter five, we see where the devil makes his move, through a couple in the church called Ananias and Saphirra. WHAT KIND OF CHURCH MEMBERS WERE THEY? They ...read more

    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

    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

    In the previous sermon in this series, we dealt with the exciting story of God healing the lame man.

    We saw that when the Lord healed him, he went into the temple, "And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful. Gate of the temple... " Anyone who knew this man, knew this was a miracle, because they knew he had been ...read more
