Sermons on God's Plan (Page 2)

His Team

Who does Jesus want to include?

Acts 8:1-40

Background: Stephen’s legacy is that the Good News leaves Jerusalem (1-4)

Who does Jesus want to save and include in the Church He is building?    

(1) Jesus wants the despised (5-8 and 14-17)

(2) Jesus wants the deceived (9-13 and 18-25)

(3) Jesus wants the distant (26-40)

Do we want these people on Jesus’ team, and will we help them join? 

Is God Just?

Job 8-10

Abide With Me (Eventide)





Verse 1
Abide with me fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless O abide with me





Verse 2
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day
Earth’s joys grow dim its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O Thou who changest not abide with me





Verse 3
I need Thy presence ev’ry passing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r
Who like Thyself my Guide and Stay can be
Through cloud and sunshine O abide with me





Verse 4
I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness
Where is death’s sting where grave thy victory
I triumph still if Thou abide with me





Verse 5
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
Heav’n’s morning breaks
And earth’s vain shadows flee
In life in death O Lord abide with me
