Intro: The early church did so much with so little. They went up against the greatest powers of the day and turned the world upside down. Acts tells us of a lot of ‘firsts’ in Christianity.
1. The Apostle Paul was available in showing Christ.
- Acts 28:2-9
The islanders did not speak Greek although they were hospitable. They worshiped gods and the snake they thought was judgment.
(note: God saved Paul for God was not done.) They thought Paul was a god because he lived, Paul empties sick room’s -first century gift of healing,
- 2 Corinthians 12:12
Paul healed them and must have used it as an opportunity to tell them about Christ, Mark 10:42-45
2. The Apostle Paul was adaptable in serving Christ.
Paul serves and is being served by other believers and Paul was encouraged. Acts 28:11-15
Paul turns his limitations into opportunities, Acts 28:17-20 Paul (in chains) uses his situation to teach an object truth, Ephesians 6:10-11
Paul used his captive audience as an opportunity to witness, Philippians 1:12-14
Paul can still preach because the Jews want to hear, Acts 28:21-22
3. The Apostle Paul was inexhaustible in sharing Christ, Acts 28:23 Paul confronted the Jews saying some would believe and some would not, Acts 28:24-28
The Gospel is not up for a debate Acts 28:29-31
Personal- So considering these truths of the Gospel:
1. Are you available in showing Jesus Christ?
2. Are you a servant?
3. Are you sharing Him?
