Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Acts 4:32-37

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 4:32. The multitude of them that believed were not the new converts merely, but the general body of the disciples.Acts 4:33. Grace.—Not favour with the people, as in Acts 2:47 (Grotius, Olshausen, Holtzmann), but divine favour, as in Acts 11:23; John 1:14 (Meyer, Alford, Zöckler, Hackett), of which Acts 4:34-35 furnish proof.Acts 4:36. For Joses read Joseph. Barnabas, the son of consolation, or son of exhortation (Holtzmann, Zöckler)—i.e., of consolatory discourse. A title... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 4:1-22

Acts 4:1-22 Look at this passage: (1) from the side of the Jewish leaders; (2) from the side of the Apostles. I. On the side of the Jewish leaders there was (1) illiberality; (2) shortsightedness; (3) impotence. II. On the side of the Apostles there was (1) complete intelligence within the sphere of their ministry; (2) unconquerable courage in narrating and applying facts; (3) Christian magnanimity in preaching the Gospel; (4) incorruptible loyalty to God and to His truth.

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 4:1-37

Acts 4:0 Before the Council From this section of Apostolic history we may draw the following practical inferences: I. We may learn that if we are Christ's disciples we may expect to encounter antagonism. II. That if we are really Christ's disciples, there will be something about us that will remind the world of Him. The inner springs of character may be hidden, but the life will make evident of what sort they are. III. That if we are really Christ's disciples, the one rule of our lives will be... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 4:13

Acts 4:13 I. We must be with Jesus, if we would bear a good testimony for Him in the presence of the world. To have heard of Him, to have read of Him, is not enough: we must be with Him; walk with Him in a consenting will, love Him as having first loved us, be joined to him in one spirit. Thus alone can consistent testimony be borne to Him by His people. They who have been with Jesus fear not the pomp, nor the scoffs, nor the threats of men. II. But we stand not merely in the presence of foes... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 4:20

Acts 4:20 There are two spiritual facts here presented to us: (1) that the true Christian has heard from heaven what is worth repeating, and (2) that the Spirit of Faith prompts the Christian to repeat what he has heard. I. Notice the order in which religious belief and religious speech are here placed. We have heard; and we cannot but speak. This order has been reversed, and much mischief has been the result. Men have been trained to speak before they have believed. Faith comes by hearing... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 4:23-37

Acts 4:23-37 I. The whole Church is interested in the proceedings of its individual members. II. The right method of treating opposition to the Kingdom of Christ. III. The spiritual and social results which follow the right acceptance of service and suffering. Parker, City Temple, vol. ii., p. 122. References: Acts 4:23-37 .

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 4:30

Acts 4:30 The Child Christ I. The day which beheld our Lord in the Temple among the doctors was no doubt the close of a wondering and inquiring time. I conceive of that moment that it gave point and purpose to a long series of internal questions and wondering visions. Here, I conceive, He was attempting to unseal the meaning of His own mission; and can we not conceive how, as the Eternal Wisdom spoke through Him, He would perplex the lawyers; and, perhaps, even compel some with wonder to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 4:32-37

Acts 4:32-5:11 Ananias and Sapphira I. We have much need to lay to heart the lessons of this incident. Christ's Church has long since come to include so many false or unspiritual members, and to be so blent with the world, that we fail to realise its ideal sanctity as the body of Christ, animated in a peculiar manner by the Divine presence. We fail to feel that to offend against the saints is to offend Christ; that to fetch our worldly sins of conceit, ambition, envy, or covetousness, into... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 4:33

Acts 4:33 The Resurrection of Christ Historic The fact of the resurrection is a fact quite capable of proof. There is no difficulty in imagining it to have occurred. There are no invincible laws against it. All that can be averred is that it is not in the line of our usual experiences, but it is not a thing, in its nature, which any one would be unable to believe, if it were only substantiated by proper and sufficient evidence. The fact must be substantiated in the same way and according to the... read more

DISCOURSE: 1749CONTEST BETWEEN PREJUDICE AND RELIGIONActs 4:18-20. And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we hare seen and heard.WHEN we see the enmity of the human heart against religion in these days, we are ready to impute some blame to the persons in whom that... read more
