Sermons on Acts (Page 7)
Boldness Before Persecutors (Acts 4:1-22)
The lesson of this passage is simple: The Holy Spirit provides boldness to proclaim the gospel in the face of persecution.
Healed By The Suffering Servant (Acts 3:11-26)
The phrase at the beginning and end of this sermon refers to Jesus as “the servant” of God. So my outline combines the two themes with the servant figure.
The Lame Will Leap (Acts 3:1-10)
In chapters 3-4 we see the intricate connection between the physical & spiritual realms. This temporal/physical healing has eternal/spiritual significance.
Devoted to the Breaking of Bread (Acts 2:42-47)
Regarding the breaking of bread; as the Lord shows us hospitality, so we are to show hospitality to others. Even though “breaking of bread” is found in verse 42 and 46, it is not exclusively talking about the Lord’s Supper, nor is it exclusively dealing with table fellowship. There is a complimentary connection between the two: Because Christ receives us at his table, we ought to receive others at our table.
Devoted to the Fellowship (Acts 2:42-47)
What I want us to see from this passage is that fellowship involves the regular interaction of repentant believers who share a concern to provide for the spiritual and material well-being of others.
Devoted to the Apostles’ Teaching (Acts 2:42-47)
First, we’ll look at What the Apostles’ Teaching Is Not. Second, we’ll see What the Apostles’ Teaching Is. And third, we’ll see How They Were Devoted to It.
Repent and Be Baptized (Acts 2:37-41)
God offers the gift of the Holy Spirit to all who repent. Even the worst sinner can receive forgiveness and the Holy Spirit if they accept the gospel.
The Explanation of Pentecost (Part 3) – Spirit
First, we will see Peter’s Commitment to the Exposition of God’s Word (25-31). Second, we’ll see his Commitment to the Empowerment of God’s Spirit (32-36).
The Explanation of Pentecost (Part 2) – Gospel
Peter assumes the authority of Scripture and preaches the power of the gospel, including how God attested, delivered up, and raised up Jesus Christ.
