Sermon: Acts 14:8-18 Sermon: Acts 14:8-18 Series C: Sunday of the Church Year: Easter 6 Sunday Theme: “Our Savior Prepares Us for His Ascension” First Lesson: Acts 14:8-18 (Paul in Lystra) Second Lesson: Revelation 21:10-14,22,23 Gospel: John 14:23-29 Preaching Date: May 9, 2010 Preaching Place: Our Savior’s, East Brunswick, NJ Dear Fellow Christians You could feel the fervor. More and more people were coming to faith. At Pentecost 3,000 people became Christians (Acts 2:41). From then on the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved (Acts 2:47). Soon the number of men grew to 5,000 (Acts 4:4). Then more and more men and women believed in the lord and added to their numbers (Acts 5:14) and the number of disciples was increasing rapidly (Acts 6:1,7). Then it went beyond the Middle East to other parts of the Mediterranean. The Christians in Antioch in Syria sent off two gifted missionaries, Paul and Barnabas. First, they were off to the Island of Cyprus. There a proconsul by the name of Sergius Paulus believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord (Acts 13:12). From there the mission team went to another city called Antioch. This Antioch was on the mainland of present day Turkey. Paul preached a fiery sermon in the synagogue. Some believed and some persecuted the men of God. From there they proceeded to Iconium. Once again a great number of Jews and Gentiles believed (Acts 14:1). Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders (Acts 14:3). Once again some believed; some did not. Those that did not believe plotted to stone the missionaries to death. But the missionaries found out about it and thought it best for the Gospel to move on to another city. That city was Lystra. An amazing and unusual event took place there that we would like to talk about this morning. Here we see … TWO DIFFERENT REACTIONS TO HEALING. One was right the other wrong. I. One man understood. II. The crowd misunderstood. A. The mission work in Lystra really presents something new. 1. In the previous cities Paul and Barnabas went into the synagogues of their fellow Jews. But in this city there was no synagogue, and apparently almost all were pagans. They needed to know about the way of salvation. So they continued to preach the good news (Acts 14:7). 2. Of course, the word is powerful. The Holy Spirit uses it as a means of grace to enter into the hearts of people to bring then to faith. There was a man there who heard that Jesus was the Savior of the world and he believed it. His soul was freed from the burden of sin, but the man’s body was handicapped. In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk. (Acts 14:8-10). B. This brings up some interesting points about divine healing. 1. First, we want to be assured that as we recognize our sins and place our faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, we are saved. We come into a relationship with God our Father and Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit working through the power of the Gospel in Word and Sacrament. 2. Second, when we look at all the miracles that Jesus did himself and how he worked through the apostles, we notice that some were healed even though they had no faith. On one occasion Jesus healed a man at the pool of Bethesda. The man apparently didn’t believe before or after he was healed. Also when Peter and John healed a crippled man at the temple gate, the man expected money from the apostles, but to his great surprise his legs were healed. 3. There are some preachers today that appear in churches or on TV and the internet who say that, if you have enough faith, you will be healed. These “faith healers” will tell you “God doesn’t want you to be sick or diseased. If only you believe deeply enough you can and will be healed.” Then if you are not healed it is because you did not have enough faith. 4. Does God heal today with miracles? He certainly can and he does. But faith means we trust him no matter what. If he heals a disease, we praise him. If he doesn’t heal, we still praise him and trust his divine wisdom. 5. Always remember this principle when it comes to God’s point of view. Our souls are far more precious than our bodies. Our bodies will rot in the ground. Our souls will live on. When our souls were filthy with sin, he washed our souls clean with the blood of Jesus. As a gardener fertilizes, trims and waters to make plants grow, so God waters with his words and promises, and trims with disease and distress. That’s why the Bible clearly says, The Lord disciplines those he loves (Hebrews 12:6). Transition: Look at this man in Lystra. He understood and believed the Gospel and God in his infinite wisdom showed him great power. God healed his crippled feet. The town’s people saw it too. But they did not have the same insight. II. The crowd did not understand. A. The people put the missionaries into the framework of their heathen religion. When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!” Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them (Acts 14:11-13). 1. Some people think that if only God would reveal himself in miracles then everyone would turn to the true God. This is one of many times in the Bible where we see misunderstanding of a miracle. With Jesus they wanted to make him an earthly king. Here they wanted to make Paul and Barnabas gods. They didn’t want to change religions. They wanted Paul and Barnabas to be a part of their heathen religion. God wanted to shape their religion into the message of Paul’s teaching. 2. It is only the Word that works. Miracles confirm the Word, but it is not the miracle that is important. It is the Word that changes the heart. It is grief over sins committed and joy in the Savior’s work on the cross. This is a proper understanding of the Christian message. B. The crowd did not understand even when the apostles tried to correct their thoughts. But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting: “Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them. In the past, he let all nations go their own way. Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy” (Acts 14:14-17). 1. Notice that the missionaries pointed to something they could relate to in their daily life. They all received gifts from the world God created. God does not leave anyone without testimony. It is only logical that all of nature came from someplace. It is pure blindness to say that all this came from nothing or by chance. There must be someone out there who controls that balance of nature with rain and crops and sun and vegetables. The entire food chain needs to have someone putting the links of the chain together. 2. Paul’s intention was to first get the people into their right senses. He wanted to calm them down. Then he could once again talk to them about the true God. 3. One important phrase here is “w e too are only men, human like you.” In the original Greek human like you is one word. It means “similarly passionate.” Paul and Barnabas were sinners with the same passions as other men ( ὁµοιοπαθε ῖς). The missionaries and the crowds were the same creatures – with similar passions, with similar sins. Only when they knew that truth could Paul talk about how this Creator God came and lived among us to gave us eternal promises of a garden-paradise. Transition: Did any of them believe the words? The answer is yes. C. There is an epilogue to this story. 1. We don’t know how many believed the truth here. But we do know that there was one family for sure who believed. There was a Jewish woman by the name of Eunice along with her mother Lois who became Christians.

  • The Conversion of Paul Acts 8:26-40
    Acts 2:1-15 - The coming of the Holy Spirit Acts 3:1-10 - Peter heals a crippled beggar Acts 4:1-21 - The apostles are imprisoned Acts was written by a chap called Luke, yes the same guy who wrote Luke’s Gospel. In fact, Acts is kind of like a part 2, picking up the story where the Gospel ends. Acts 8:26-40 - Philip preaches to the Ethiopian We think Luke was a doctor – Paul calls him doctor in his letter to the Colossians and the way Luke describes some of the healings and other Acts 9:1-19 - The conversion of Paul events makes us think he was an educated man and most likely a doctor. Acts 9:19-25 - Paul in Damascus Our best guess is that it was written between AD63 and AD70 – that’s Acts 9:32-43 - Aeneas healed & Dorcas brought back to life more than 1,948 years ago. It was written not long after the events described in the book and about 30 years after Jesus died and was raised Acts 10:19-48 - Peter and Cornelius to life again. Acts 12:4-11 - Peter arrested and freed by an angel Luke himself tells us at the beginning of his Gospel that he wanted to write about everything that had happened – he was actually with Paul Acts 13:1-3 - Paul and Barnabas sent off on a few of his journeys.

  • Number 50 “Acts
    The Naked Bible Podcast 2.0 Number 50 “Acts 14” Dr. Michael S. Heiser With Residential Layman Trey Stricklin May 23, 2015 Acts 14 Acts 14 has several items of interest related to the ancient supernatural worldview of the New Testament writers. This episode will take us into Greco-Roman beliefs about the gods, some Pauline commentary on the Deuteronomy 32 worldview, and the possible context of Lystra for Paul’s mystical experience (NDE?) in 2 Corinthians 12. TS: Welcome to the Naked Bible Podcast, Episode 50, Acts 14. I’m your layman, Trey Stricklin, and he’s the scholar, Dr. Michael Heiser. Hey Mike, how are you doing this week? MSH: Very good. How are you? TS: I’m doing great. I’m ready for Acts 14. MSH: Great. Alright, let’s jump into Acts 14. I’m going to basically read about up through verse 18. It's roughly, I guess, half the passage, something like that. There are two things I want to talk about in that section then we’ll finish up with something else. So Acts 14 starting in verse 1, we read, Now at Iconium they [MSH: Paul and Barnabus from chapter 13] entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. [MSH: We have full Gentiles present] 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 3 So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

  • A Narrative Analysis of the Jerusalem Council Discourses: Table Fellowship and the Implicit Theology of Salvation
    A NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE JERUSALEM COUNCIL DISCOURSES: TABLE FELLOWSHIP AND THE IMPLICIT THEOLOGY OF SALVATION MICHAEL MAHAN This study undertakes a narrative reading of the text of Acts 15:1-31 and develops the construct of implicit theology, defining it as generic, usually unspoken ideas about the theological realm that have a measurable effect on individual and congregational behavior. The reading of the Jerusalem council narrative (Acts 15:1-31) highlights three points of view regarding law, grace, and fellowship considerations. This study finds that one chief thread of the narrative is the issues of the practical matter of fellowship between Gentiles and law-following Jewish Christians. The practical issues in the narrative reveal the main narrative thread of the contrast of differing perspectives on the theology of salvation. Based on the council narrative, it is suggested that in applied settings, the implicit theology of salvation is a balance between grace and law rather than a dichotomous, theological position. This study proposes the development of instruments measuring implicit theology in congregational studies, potentially revealing implicit theological tenets underlying observable congregational characteristics. The Jerusalem consultation, recounted in Acts 15:1-31, describes a significant practical issue regarding the integration of Gentile Christians into what had been a Journal of Biblical Perspectives in Leadership 5, no. 1 (2013), 39-62. © 2013 School of Business & Leadership, Regent University ISSN 1941-4692 Mahan/JOURNAL OF BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES IN LEADERSHIP 40 primarily Jewish body of believers.

  • Acts 14:1-20
    ACTS 14:1-20 A. Paul and Barnabas In Iconium: (14:1-6) 1. Acts 14:1 - And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. a. Paul and Barnabas go again into another synagogue. The gospel's power is so convincing that a large number of Jews and Gentiles believed. b. [so spake] is referring to the manner in which he spoke. Paul not only spoke with clarity, but also with zeal and excitement. (1) **Their success wasn't due to organization, entertainment, amazing music, or great oratory. These things were not part of a synagogue! It was solely the power of their gospel message. (2) **We have to continually remind ourselves that God's Word is sufficient to draw, convict, convince, and save-grow people. It is the Word of God that anchors one's soul. c. Paul was not offering the Kingdom nor Israel's prophetic program to these Jews. Also, it is good to remember that before Israel was set aside (after Acts 7), she had a spiritual influence upon many Gentiles. Many Gentiles had heard of God's dealings with Israel. So the synagogue was a good place to find both Jews and Gentiles. It says there was [a great multitude]. 2. Acts 14:2 - But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. a. It seems that wherever and whenever God is moving through His believers, Satan raises his ugly head to try and prevent truth from converting or entering the minds/hearts of people.

  • “Are You Willing” Paul's First Missionary Journey Acts 13-14
    “Are You Willing” Paul’s First Missionary Journey Acts 13-14 Have you ever studied Paul’s missionary journeys? Today that is precisely what we are going to do. We are going to begin by studying the first journey. In my view, the journeys are very exciting because God used them to spread the good news of Christ all over the known world. I invite you to turn in your Bible to Acts 13 as we begin. This is going to be a jet tour from high altitude. We are doing this because I want to you to see the big picture of Paul’s first missionary journey. We will look at some general principles at the end of the message and make application to ourselves today. A summary of Paul’s 1st Missionary Journey The first missionary journey took place from approximately A.D. 46-48. It all started in the Syrian city of Antioch near the coast about three hundred miles north of Jerusalem. Antioch is where many Christians had gone when the great persecution started in Jerusalem after the death of Stephen. Where Jerusalem was the hub of Jews who became Christians, Antioch became the hub for Gentiles who became Christians. At some point after his conversion, Paul, also known as Saul was contacted by Barnabas and brought to Antioch where they spent a year training new believers in the faith. Antioch – Acts 13:1-3 Acts 13:1-3 – 1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with 1 Copyright Chris Losey 2014 Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

  • Acts Chapter 14
    Acts Chapter 14 Acts 14:1 "And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed." “Iconium”: A cultural melting pot of native Phrygians, Greeks, Jews, and Roman colonists, located 80 miles southeast of Pisidian Antioch. We see here the synagogue being opened to the Greeks, as well as the Jews. It seemed that Paul was under great anointing of God at this time, and many were brought into the numbers of the Christians. Paul is preaching the Word. Many who are receiving this Word are saved. Remember, these disciples had been filled again with the Spirit and with joy about the time they came to Iconium. In (Romans 10), we read: Romans 10:14 "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" It is necessary to have a preacher. By the foolishness of preaching, men are won to God. Acts 14:2 "But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren." These Jews were jealous, because the body of believers in Christ was growing far more rapidly than the synagogue. These Jews put a question into the minds of the Gentiles who were not familiar with the Scriptures. This is still going on today. Satan never changes. He planted a question in Eve's mind, and that has been his plan from the beginning.
