Sermons on Twelve Apostles:

Thomas: My Favorite Apostle

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 31, 2022

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 Apostles And Others Gathered In Jerusalem Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 22, 2017

An Extraordinary Commission (Part 1)

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 9, 2025

Does Jesus still call and empower believers to do bold and amazing things in His name, like healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting out demons? Does this passage only apply to the first apostles, or can it be applied to us?

I have entitled our sermon this morning, “An Extraordinary Commission,” and this is Part 1 of a two-part message. I want to begin by saying that I was raised in a small country church with a pastor who loved the Lord and His people, and proclaimed only the basics, like sin, repentance, salvation, ...read more

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.

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.

Acts Of The Apostles (17 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

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

Acts Of The Apostles (9 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

In chapter 5, we discovered that the Lord had to purge the early church of hypocrisy.
