    based on 1 rating
     | 4,568 views

    Even if the future of the church in America looks like VERSES 1-3, God can still bring about VERSE 8.

    The Scattering Acts 8:1-8 My favorite movies are those with plot twists at the end. When what happens at the end of a movie, you never saw coming at the beginning. And when the ending is revealed it's kind of like, "oh, everything makes sense now." I think the first time I vividly ...read more

    Introduction: A. You’ve heard it said: “There are two sure things in life: #1 – There is a God, and #2 – You are not Him!” 1.

    Stephen has just been stoned, Saul is ravaging the church, and many believers are going to rancid prisons getting beaten and fighting off the rats, just because they love Jesus. is the basis for my Thanksgiving sermon. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Bear with me.

    Here in chapter 8 of the book of Acts we are finally introduced to this Pharisee named Saul. Perhaps no other religious person in Israel had more of a zealous hatred for Christ and Christians.

    While we lie down in the green pasture of the 23rd Psalm, the Good Shepherd may not seem to notice us — we are safe; but when the sheep are among the wolves of Matthew 10:16, the Good Shepherd will run to their help — they are in danger.

    WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US IS BY FAR THE LONGEST SERMON WE HAVE SEEN IN THE BOOK OF ACTS, AND I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY, IS THE LONGEST OF THE BOOK ITSELF. IT IS ALSO THE FIRST SERMON GIVEN BY A NON-APOSTLE, AND WOULD RESULT IN THE FIRST DEATH OF A NON-APOSTLE.

    A SERMON OF NOTE TO A PEOPLE OF NEED ACTS 7:1-8:1 INTRODUCTION: AT THE ONSET, I NEED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE EXTENT OF OUR TEXT THIS MORNING. LITERALLY, THIS IS A WHOLE CHAPTER.

    Stephen's death and the following persecution was a bad news/Good News Scenario. On the one hand it was a very negative thing for the church. Yet God used this evil to motivate the church with the Great Commission they had previously ignored.

  • Leaders & Martyrs Series

    Contributed by Sean Harder on Oct 25, 2013
     | 4,340 views

    We have gotten so used to novelty in the church that a common response to this theme, was a rather sympathetic gesture inferring, “What, have you run out of good ideas?” Preaching and prayer just don’t seem that innovative and frankly to many, are the boring part of church.

    For the first few chapters of Acts we have heard about the beginnings and growth of the early church in Jerusalem after Pentecost. This was done almost exclusively through prayer and preaching. And Satan was working hardest through the religious leaders, not to stop miracles and such, but to stop ...read more
