Good News of Peace (Acts 10:30-43)

We have seen a couple of pivotal moments in Acts. When the Holy Spirit descended upon believers in Acts 2. This moment sparked an evangelistic revival within the life of the early church that allowed it to experience rapid growth. However, as the church increased the persecution it faced also increased. When Saul, the man at the center of the persecution, was converted. Jesus appeared to Saul while he was “still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the…

Hospitality and the Mission of God (Acts 10:17-29)

Francis and Edith Schaeffer founded L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland in 1955 as a means of inviting students to ask their most challenging questions and experience genuine Christian care.

A Basket Case (Acts 9:19b-31)

I’ve stolen the excellent sermon title from Derek Thomas’ Reformed Expository Commentary on Acts. The conversion of Saul was as significant as it was shocking. After trying to destroy Christianity, he took the gospel to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). The man who sparked a great persecution (Acts 8:1) against the Church became her greatest promoter. Before we read this passage let us look to the Lord in prayer for his help in understanding it. Read Acts 9:19b-31 Our conversion…
