An Ideal Audience
Cornelius and his household were an ideal audience for Peter. They were all present to hear what God would have to say through Peter. Acts 10:30-33 October 12, 2008
Peter And Cornelius
Peter’s ministry takes him to the household of Cornelius where he begins the process of overcoming prejudice. Acts 10:1-48 October 5, 2008
Dorcas And Aeneas
Peter’s ministry takes him to Lydda where he heals Aeneas. The disciples at Joppa implore Peter to come there. At Joppa he raises Dorcas from the dead. More and more disciples are added to the body of Christ. Acts 9:32-43 September 28, 2008
Multiplying The Church
After Saul’s conversion the church in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria had peace for a short time. They also had the key for multiplying the church. There’s a lesson here for us. Acts 9:19-31 September 21, 2008
The Conversion of Saul
Saul, the persecutor of Christians, journeys to Damascus to capture Christians. Instead, he is captured by Christ. Acts 9:1-19 September 14, 2008
Philip And Simon
Philip discovers an unlikely prospect for conversion in Simon the Sorcerer. Perhaps we are to hasty in our judgments of others and whether they might obey the gospel. Acts 8:9-24 August 31, 2008
Philip And The Samaritans
Persecution has taken the life of Stephen and the disciples are forced to leave Jerusalem. Philip goes down to Samaria and preaches Jesus. Of course, many of them had met Jesus when He stayed in one of their villages for two days. They were ready to hear the word! Acts 8:1-24 August 24, 2008
Persecution Begins In Earnest
As the message of Jesus is preached with boldness, jealousy raises it ugly head and persecution of Christians begins in earnest. Stephen, a man filled with power and the Holy Spirit, becomes the first Christian martyr. Acts 6:8 – 7:60 August 17, 2008
Counterfeit Christians
Ananias and Sapphira claimed to be something they were not. Peter said they were lying to the Holy Spirit. What about us when we claim to be more spiritual than we are. Acts 5:1-11 Jim Williams – August 10, 2008
Healing, Preaching and Persecution
Peter and John heal a lame man in the temple. This draws a big crowd and Peter tells them how a time of refreshing can come from the Lord. Persecution of Christians begins at this point. What was the church’s reaction? Acts 3:1-4:31 Jim Williams – – August 3, 2008
