THE TRAGEDY OF MISSING MISSIONS
Acts. 1:8
I. GOD'S PLAN FOR THE CHURCH...Acts 1:8
A. The Prerequisite..."Ye shall receive power"
B. The Plan..."Ye shall be witnesses unto me"
C. The Place..."BOTH, Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria..."
II. GOD'S PREPARATION OF THE CHURCH...Acts 2
In the early verses of this chapter, God fulfilled His promise of Luke
24:49. After they were endued there was:
A. The Exalting of the Saviour...V 22-24, 31,36
B. The Expounding of the Scriptures...V 25-31
C. The Exclaiming of the Sinners...V 37
III. GOD'S PROBLEMS WITH THE CHURCH...Acts 3-Acts 5
A. A miracle problem...3:1-11; 4:1-21; 5:18-20
B. A money problem...2:44-45; 4:34-37; 5:1-11
C. A multiplying problem... 1:15; 2:41; 4:4; 6:5
The problem was they became interested with mighty miracles,
much money, and a magnificent multitude at Jerusalem while the rest of
the world was going to hell. They ignored Acts 1:8.
IV. GOD'S PERSECUTION ON THE CHURCH...Acts 6 - Acts 8
When a church refuses to carry out the great commission, God has
a way of "stirring up the eagle's nest"
A. The disturbance over distribution...6:1-7
B. The death of the disciple...7:54-60
C. The dread of the disciples...7:58-8:3
V. GOD'S PERFORMANCE THROUGH THE CHURCH...ACTS 8-13
After persecution was turned loose on the church at Jerusalem,
they started carrying out Acts 1:8.
Notice five things that happened...
A. The word got scattered...Acts 8:4
B. The wicked got saved...
1. the Samaritans...8:5-7
2. the Ethiopian Eunuch...8:26-37
3. Saul of Taurus...9:1-6
C. The works got started...Acts 11:19-21
