Sermons on Acts (Page 4)

Acts 13:1-12 Amen, you can be seated. Please turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Acts. Our reading will be chapter 13, verses one through 12. Last week, we covered chapter 12, 24, I think it was, through maybe 13, one to three. We just took a little sidestep and looked at what it meant, what it means for God to set apart and send people gospel emissaries out into the world to proclaim the good…

Acts 12:25 You can be seated. Turn in your copy of God’s Word to the book of Acts, chapter 12, verse 24, and then we’ll read through verse three of chapter 13. Just these couple of verses, we want to look back, look forward, but also define some terms today. And so this little catch-all of the end of 12, beginning of 13, will be our passage, Acts chapter 12, 24 to 13, three. And before we read, let’s ask…

Acts 12:1-24 Amen, you can be seated. Turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Acts chapter 12. Our reading will be Acts chapter 12, verses one through 25. I think your bulletin may say something different, yeah, through 19, but I decided to bite off a little bit more than I’d originally planned. And I think you’ll see that it makes sense to do that. Before we read God’s word together, let’s look to him in…

Acts 11:19-30 Turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Acts chapter 11 verses 19 through 30 will be our passage for today. I think. minus maybe Christmas and Easter and a couple of breaks along the way, we’ve been making our way through Acts for a year now. First, we studied Luke, the gospel according to Luke, where he sought to write an orderly account to Theophilus of all that Jesus began to do in his…

Acts 11:1-18 You may be seated. Turn in your copy of God’s word to Acts chapter 11 verses 1 through 18. Last week we looked at how Peter in a vision from God was revealed to him that there was no unclean food and so he, a Jew, went to the Gentiles, specifically to Cornelius’ house. He preached the word to all that all whom Cornelius gathered into his place. The word was received by these Gentiles. They were baptized.…

Acts 10 You may be seated. Turn in your copy of God’s Word to Acts chapter 10. Our reading today will be the entire chapter, verses 1 through 48. While you’re making your way there, I’ll tell you a little bit about today and a little bit about next week. Next week, we’ll add to this passage, chapter 11, verses 1 through 18. So you’ve got two significant things taking place in the early church. Remember, Jesus, the risen and…

Acts 9:32-43 You may be seated. Turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Acts chapter nine. Our reading today will be verses 32 to 43. We’re back, uh, to an account or two of the life of Peter. And so, uh, we’ll see him moving, uh, up towards the Mediterranean coast and serving God by ministering among the churches of the Mediterranean. Acts chapter 9 verses 32 to 43 will be our reading. But before we…

Acts 9:31 If you are able, please remain standing and turn in the book of Acts to chapter nine. We just have one verse. So I figure you can stand for it. Just one verse, Acts, chapter nine, verse 31. While you’re making your way there, I’ll just give a brief explanation. In Acts, there are several occasions where a block of narrative tells about the expansion of the gospel of Jesus Christ into a new region. And before we…

Acts 9:26-30 Amen. You may be seated. Turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Acts chapter nine. Our reading and study today will be nine 26 through, uh, first 30. So Acts chapter nine versus 26 through 30. Uh, since I guess about last August or so when we finished, uh, Luke, uh, we have continued in Luke’s orderly, uh, account of the person and the work of Jesus. Now he’s giving us an account of…

Acts 9:18-25 Amen. You may be seated. Please turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of acts. Uh, chapter nine verses 18 through 25 will be our study for the day. I think it’s been about four weeks since we were last in acts. So we picked back up where we left off. This is, um, uh, continuation of the conversion of the apostle Paul. Saul of Tarsus on his way to Damascus with papers from the…

Acts 9:1-20 Please be seated. Turn in your copy of God’s word to the book of Acts. Chapter nine will be our reading today. Verses one through 20. This is one of three places where in the book of Acts, the conversion of Saul of Tarsus is recounted. This is a, first account where Paul is not involved except he’s converted and we’re told about it but in the other two places he is explaining his calling as a missionary…

Acts 8:26-40 You may be seated and turn in your copy of God’s word to acts chapter eight. Our reading will be versus 26 through 40 as you’re making your way there. In your own copies of God’s word, I’ll remind you that Jesus, when he was raised from the dead, gathered his disciples. He gathered the apostles. And for some days in Jerusalem, he prepared them for a ministry. The risen Christ was exalted, being raised up into heaven…
