| | The Charge of the Angel by C. H. Spurgeon
Topic:
Scripture(s): Acts 5:19-20 | | Description: THE second persecution of the church, in which all the apostles were put into the common prison, was mainly brought about by the sect of the Sadducees. These, as you know, were the Broad School, the liberals, the advanced thinkers, the modern-thought people of the day. If you want a bitter sneer, a biting sarcasm, or a cruel action, I commend you to these large-minded gentlemen. They are liberal to everybody, except to those who hold the truth; and for those they have a reserve of concentrated bitterness which far excels wormwood and gall. They are so liberal to their brother errorists, that they have no tolerance to spare for evangelicals. We are expressly told that “the high priest, and all they that were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) were filled with indignation.” That which had been done deserved their admiration, but received their indignation. Such gentlemen as these can be warm at a very short notice, when the doctrine of the cross is spreading, and God the Holy Spirit is bearing witness with signs following. Let them display their indignation, it is according to their nature. To them the only answer which God gave was spoken by his angel...

| | The Resurrection Credible by C. H. Spurgeon
Topic:
Scripture(s): Acts 26:8 | | Description: CONCERNING the souls of our believing friends who have departed this life we suffer no distress, we feel sure that they are where Jesus is, and behold his glory, according to our Lord's own memorable prayer. We know but very little of the disembodied state, but we know quite enough to rest certain beyond all doubt that — “They are supremely blest, Have done with sin, and care, and woe, And with their Savior rest.” Our main trouble is about their bodies, which we have committed to the dark and lonesome grave. We cannot reconcile ourselves to the facts that their dear faces are being stripped of all their beauty by the fingers of decay, and that all the insignia of their manhood should be fading into corruption. It seems hard that the hands and feet, and all the goodly fabric of their noble forms, should be dissolved into dust, and broken into an utter ruin. We cannot stand at the grave without tears; even the perfect Man could not restrain his weeping at Lazarus' tomb. It is a sorrowful thought that our friends are dead, nor can we ever regard the grave with love. We cannot say that we take pleasure in the catacomb and the vault...

| | Jesus´ victory over the powers of darkness by Erlo Stegen
Topic: Cross of Christ
Scripture(s): Acts 16:16-39 | | Description: Paul was angered by the demonic spirit of divination which shouted out of the girl "these men are servants of the Most High, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation". Even though this was true Paul did not need demons to shout it out. He commanded the spirit to leave the girl. The power of Jesus was displayed when the demons left. Her masters, who had profited much, were furious, and had Paul and Silas stripped and beaten. But this did not beat God's servants for Jesus is victorious over demonic power. They sang the praises of God in the cruel jail and stocks, till heaven could not remain silent and the earth shook with God's power.

| | Dedicated to God Not Man by Major Ian Thomas
Topic: Dedication
Scripture(s): Acts 7:20, Exodus 2:11-3:1 | | Description: An excellent use of Moses as an example of what God can do through man. Maj. Thomas shows us that Moses was highly qualified to be completely useless. Moses looked “this way and that way”… but not up. Makes one completely examine themselves and ask the question, “Who are we really dedicated to?

| | The Cost of Going All The Way With God by David Wilkerson
Topic:
Scripture(s): Acts 7:25 | | Description: This sermon and 'Winning Christ' became chapters in the book 'Hungry for more of Jesus.' It is a challenging sermon to give your all to Christ. Many take the message of the free grace of God and count everything as costless when it comes to Christianity. However, there is a cost that comes to the person that decides that they are going all of the way with God. One of the best ways to lose friends and family members is to turn to God with all of your heart, soul and mind.
