Acts 9:32-43 - Tabitha: A Life Worth Imitating

Part 24 in the Acts sermon series.
In this section, we turn to the Apostle Peter, who was used by the Lord to touch two lives in dramatic ways. The first was a man who had been paralyzed for eight years and the second was a woman whose life touched many, but then she died, leaving them heartbroken. As we study how the Lord used Peter in these two situations, we see how we can be paralyzed by our circumstances, or dead in our sins, and by the touch of Jesus Christ, we can be healed and set free to live fully for His kingdom.

Acts 9:20-31 - Having a Heart to be Led by the Holy Spirit

Part 23 in the Acts sermon series.
In this passage, Saul (later known as the Apostle Paul) has become a full-on radical follower of Jesus Christ. He goes to the Damascus Church, who having heard of his threats against Christians, still welcome him as a Brother in Christ. Then he goes to Jerusalem where he encounters a different reception. Nevertheless, Saul being led by the Holy Spirit, fearlessly preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Victorious Lamb - Revelation 5:6-14

What symbols come to mind when you think of victory? The world has a definitely different definition of victory than what Jesus gave us. On Easter, we celebrate the risen Christ, but how do we see Him? What image of the victorious Christ do we hold on to?

Acts 9:1-19 -- No One is Beyond God's Reach

Part 22 in the Acts sermon series.
All of us have family members or those we know whom we think are too sinful, too evil to ever change their ways or become a Christian. The early church thought that about Saul of Tarsus, but the Lord can reach anyone. No one is beyond His reach.
