3 Realized He Was Lost (v. 30) Asked what to do Knew he was lost Feared for his life initially (Acts 12:19)

4 Realized He Was Lost (v. 30) Necessary realization Brevity and uncertainty of life (James 4:14) Certainty of the judgment (Acts 17:30, 31; Hebrews 9:27) All have sinned (Romans 3:23)

5 Desired To Be Saved (vv. 30, 31) Some have no desire to change Personal nature of being lost or saved Necessity of plain preaching (Acts 2:37; 7:51-60)

6 Summary of Modern Preaching “Believe to some degree, repent to some extent, or you might be damned somewhat” Most preaching not plain enough today

7 Desired To Be Saved (vv. 30, 31) Given a direct answer (v. 31) Many possible answers given today Told to believe (Acts 8:37) Heard their singing and praying Knew why they were there

8 Desired To Be Saved (vv. 30, 31) Are we helping people to know? Accomplished through teaching (Acts 8:30, 31; Romans 1:16) Power of example (1 Timothy 4:12-16)

9 Faith Came By Hearing (vv. 32, 33) Recall the answer Was to believe What was he to believe? (Acts 8:35-39) “Experience” not enough (John 6:44, 45; Romans 10:17)

10 Faith Came By Hearing (vv. 32, 33) Saving faith involves obedience (v. 33) Washed their stripes: godly sorrow Repentance necessary (Luke 13:3; Acts 17:30) Baptized in the same hour, risking his life (Acts 2:38; 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21)

11 He Rejoiced (v. 34) Proper place for joy Sorrowed over what he had done Could now rejoice Emotionalism does not guarantee the facts (Genesis 37:33, 34)

12 He Rejoiced (v. 34) Rejoicing follows obedience He was now right with God Rejoiced like the eunuch (Acts 8:39)

13 He Rejoiced (v. 34) Connection between belief and baptism Told to believe Baptized after being taught (Acts 18:8) Luke’s summary: “… having believed” (v. 34)

14 Conclusion What will be the rest of your story? Will it be told without joy?
