Proverbs 29:18
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”
The verse above is often used in sermons to motivate people into having a vision for the lost. Several times I have told people that because we need to get a vision for the lost, and that is very true; however, this verse has nothing to do with people getting saved or having a vision for the lost and dying of the world.
Acts 23:1
"And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day."
Paul said, "I have lived in all good conscience..." That statement is a mouth full. To be able to say that you have a good conscience is to say that you have no skeletons in the closet that you are trying to hide. A good conscience is not what you portray to others, but knowing you've done right in private at all times.
Acts 17:16
"Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry."
Have you ever had something that hits your hot button and stirs your spirit? Paul experienced this when he went to Athens. When he was brought to Athens, he saw the people given to idolatry. The whole city worshipped idols. Everywhere he went he saw these people who were devout in their idol worship. When he saw the people given to idolatry, it stirred him because he saw the need of the people.
Acts 4:31
"And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."
The boldness of the Apostles is clearly seen in this chapter as they preached about Jesus Christ. After the crowds heard their preaching, five thousand people accepted Christ as their Saviour. This troubled the religious leaders because they were quickly losing influence. This caused them to take Peter and John and hold them until they were questioned. Peter did not back down, but testified that Jesus was crucified by their hands, and that Jesus was the very One Who could save them from their sins. After being threatened and warned not to preach about Jesus, they were let go.
Acts 2:41
"Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."
The results that happened on the day of Pentecost in the Book of Acts have been studied, taught and preached about for decades. This one event is one of the most talked about events in the Scriptures. Certainly, every preacher has preached about the three thousand souls that were saved.

John 5:15
"The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole."
One of the more disturbing responses to Jesus' miracles is the story about the man who was crippled for thirty-eight years. For thirty-eight years this man was confined to a bed. For thirty-eight years this man was totally dependent upon others taking him places. Yet, when Jesus passed by his way, He had compassion on him and healed him.
