Do You Believe?

Series: Acts... Part II

Do You Believe?

June 01, 2014 | Michael Davis
Acts 25:18-19

Notes

God is an amazing God who wants you to see Him do amazing things!
God desires ALL of us to experience more of HIM in ALL of us ALL of the time! 

God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His Will in your life!

I believe... it’s all GRACE!

I believe... God’s GRACE is for everyone!

God’s grace flows best through those who have received His grace!

I believe… Jesus is ALL we need!

REPENTANCE is a change of mind that leads to a change of direction.

Verses

{But the accusations made against him weren’t any of the crimes I expected. Instead, it was something about their religion and a dead man named Jesus, who Paul insists is alive. Acts 25:18-19 NLT}{King Agrippa, do you believe? Acts 26:27 NLT}{But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. 1 Corinthians 15:10 NLT}{So the next day Agrippa and Bernice arrived at the auditorium with great pomp, accompanied by military officers and prominent men of the city. Acts 25:23 NLT}{I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength to do his work. He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve him, even though I used to blaspheme the name of Christ. In my insolence, I persecuted his people. But God had mercy on me because I did it in ignorance and unbelief. Oh, how generous and gracious our Lord was! He filled me with the faith and love that come from Christ Jesus. This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all. But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life. 1 Timothy 1:12-16 NLT}{Now get to your feet! For I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant and witness. You are to tell the world what you have seen and what I will show you in the future. And I will rescue you from both your own people and the Gentiles. Yes, I am sending you to the Gentiles to open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God’s people, who are set apart by faith in me. Acts 26:16-18 NLT}{I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life. John 8:12 NLT}{For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins. Colossians 1:13-14 NLT}{I preached first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that all must repent of their sins and turn to God—and prove they have changed by the good things they do. Acts 26:20 NLT}{Suddenly, Festus shouted, “Paul, you are insane. Too much study has made you crazy!” Acts 26:24 NLT}{King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do – Agrippa interrupted him. “Do you think you can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly?” Paul replied, “Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that both you and everyone here in this audience might become the same as I am, except for these chains.” Acts 26:27-29 NLT}{Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.” Acts 2:38 NLT}

Quotes

J.D. Grear : Faith is belief in action. Faith does not exist apart from its action. Faith starts with mental assent, but if this mental assent does not lead to obedience, it is not yet “faith.”
(Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart); Charles Spurgeon : The bridge of grace will bear your weight, brother. Thousands of big sinners have gone across that bridge, yes, tens of thousands have gone over it. Some have been the chief of sinners and some have come at the very last of their days but the arch has never yielded beneath their weight. I will go with them trusting to the same support. It will bear me over as it has for them. (Sermons); Charles Spurgeon : If grace does not make us differ from other men, it is not the grace which God gives. (Sermons);
