The Gospel Of Acts

Decent Essays
The reading of the Gospel of Acts has many lessons that I personally can connect or relate to my life. More specifically, the reading applies to my life today when God calls me to ministry as he called Apostle Paul. The book of Acts calls Apostle Paul and he knew what he was called to do! God had called him to proclaim the gospel to the Gentiles all across the world. Apostle Paul life was transformed and his trust in Jesus grew stronger. The lesson that I drew for my spiritual life was the wonderful fact that I have a calling too!
Like Paul, I have been summoned by God to fulfill an objective in Gods everlasting plan. My calling is to minister to the needy, the poor, the sick and the lonely. I need to proclaim the wonderful story of Jesus

    In all of acts, Chapter 5 really stood out to me because it shows that God can use the worst situations for good purposes. The first part of this chapter talks about Ananias and Saphirra. When you sell a piece of property, you’re supposed to give ALL the money to the apostles, so that they could use it to benefit God’s kingdom. Instead, Ananias kept part of the money for himself. This shows that he had a lack of faith that God would provide for his needs.…

    Apologetics comes from the Greek word apologia meaning defense or to give answer. Apologetics did not arise later in church history. Indeed, it proffered itself plainly in the New Testament. Moreover, the Bible commands us to give answer or to be apologists as stated in the Bible, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame (1 Peter 3:15-16).…

    As a minister, I feel it is my job to communicate, in word and deed, the unchanging Gospel to the modern generation in ways that help people to understand Christ clearly. Early on in my Christian walk it was apparent to not only me, but also to those in leadership roles within the church – elders, ministers, etc. – that there was a call upon my life to enter the ministry. I was quickly taken under the guidance of the lead Preacher in my local…

    It was a pleasure to read the book Acts Of Faith. I found it to be a very well written, and easy to understand. The author’s main point is to emphasize the importance of interreligious dialogue, especially among youth. The author, Eboo Patel, writes this book as an autobiography starting when he was a child, and continuing until he is about thirty, and has founded the Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC), biased in Chicago. He begins the book by illustrating the London bombings that occurred on July 7, 2005.…

    The one verse I will forever live by is Psalm 143:8, “Let the morning bring the word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I entrust my life”. This verse tells me that I do not need to fear about singing in front people, or fear befriending people, or fear leading others, or fear anything in this world because the moment I gave my heart to God, He continually held onto it with such a delicacy. He knows that I trust and have faith in Him, and likewise, I know He trusts and has faith in me. Many people do not think about God having faith and trust in them, but He does.…

    INTRODUCTION God is not the author of confusion, the Bible is clear in revealing not only the reality of miraculous events in the Book of Acts but also their purpose. One of the main purposes of the miracles in the Book of Acts was to create a platform for preaching and evangelism for the Apostles. The miracles in the book of Acts were not for the direct benefit of those performing the miracles or for material purposes. They were for the purpose of authenticating the message about Jesus. GENUINE MIRACLES Miracles are seals of a divine mission.…

    This section of text is the last time Peter is mentioned in Acts and from this point forward Paul becomes the central figure for the remainder of the book. A. Issues: There were many issues throughout the book of Acts, however, this particular section of the text illustrates the issues regarding circumcision and the implementation of doctrine to follow in order to ensure obedience to God’s will. There was a great chasm forming between the Jewish followers and the gentile converts regarding important issues of obedience and holiness.

    One of the footers in foundation of my ministry which supports the philosophy by which I approach the churched and non-churched can be found in Matthew 9:10-13. It is both the intentional formulation of the opportunity in which Jesus frames this footing and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer to which we must also respond. Not only does the unfolding dynamics of the text, present the attitude of the church in opposition to the needs of the non-churched; but it also presents the heart and desires of Jesus in His ministry of reconciliation, while establishing the fullness of his word as the measuring stick of the righteousness by which the church and the disciples of Christ, should be governed. In the text, Jesus…
