What we do for Christ and the gospel are the only things which last.

The Fear of the Lord is not an -Old Testament Thing.-

Miracles in Acts lead to a message. Messages in Acts point to the Messiah. This -Miracle -- Message -- Messiah- model should guide our lives and our ministries in the church today.

Peter's Pentecost sermon is a useful example of the core aspects of the gospel message.

What was the meaning of Pentecost- That was the question the people asked Peter on the day it happened, and it is a question still being asked. This sermon from Acts 2 expounds on Peter's answer.

The method of Matthias's appointment to the Twelve, and the brevity of the sermons and speeches in Acts are two examples of issues which require our careful consideration. In this lesson we look at these in order to develop a fuller, better understanding of Acts.

Luke includes the selection of Matthias as Judas's replacement among the Twelve to bolster faith, so that we would know that even the most catastrophic sin that might undermine our confidence in the church's chance of survival is ordained by God and works to fulfill His purposes.

-Why did He have to go-- The disciples had to be asking that as they watched Jesus disappear into the cloud. What they soon learned was that His departure ushered in a wonderful new phase of the people of God.

In his introductory Sunday School lesson paralleling his sermon series, -Acts, The Work Continues,- Pastor Shaw begins delving more deeply into the background of this, Luke's second volume.

Luke's second volume has been called The Acts of the Apostles, but many suggest The Acts of the Holy Spirit would be more fitting. Some point to the first verse and propose we call it The Acts of Jesus. All are fitting and all come under the umbrella of The Acts of the Gospel.
