The God who is Close – Acts 17:16-34
In the passage we will study today, Paul shares the gospel with a totally different group than those he has shared at this time. Unlike those in Thessalonica, Berea, where he shared Scripture with them, these men are polytheists, religious philosophers who have no background to religious Jewry. Similar to Joseph in the story where […]

Presenting the Gospel to an Upside Down World – Acts 17:1-15
The world is upside down. Our world in which we live is spiritually (as well as morally and in many other respects) upside down. What does this mean? Since the fall into sin by our ancestor Adam and Eve, the result of mankind’s actions is the opposite of what God desires. The world does […]

Living and Sharing the Gospel Even in Difficulties – Acts 16:16-34
We are not saved just to live our lives before the world by showing Christ. We must also preach, teach, share, talk about Christ in multiple ways and forms. That is the topic of this morning. We want to see Paul’s example as an example, a model of what it is to live, to […]

God Opens the Way and Opens hearts – Acts 15.36-16:15
In this passage we look at how God sovereignly guides Paul at the beginning of his second missionary journey to Philippi. In that city Paul preaches and God sovereignly transforms a woman named Lydia. That is the topic of this morning. The sovereignty of God. God’s sovereignty over our plans involving God’s mission—sharing the […]

Conflict in the church – Acts 15
Christ’s church has grown from being formed mainly from Jews to Gentiles of all walks of life. Yet, the church has maintained is unity in the Gospel. But it is not free from conflict especially with the cultural and religious backgrounds between Jews and Gentiles and how they relate to the Gospel of grace. Many […]

The First Missionaries – Acts 13
The apostles were missionaries because they too were sent by our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19; Acts 1:8). The word “apostles” means “sent.” They went, carried, and died carrying the message of Christ to all the world.This means that, if you are a believer, he has sent you to be a witness, to share the […]

I am a Highly Sensitive Person & So was King David
Not long ago I discovered that I am a highly sensitive person (HSP)[1] which means I process information and experiences in a different way than most people.[2] I am a deep thinker and tend to linger on things that I’m experiencing, often responding internally in an emotional way. Though it may not be apparent, I […]

Security in Challenging Times – Acts 11:27-30-12
How to deal with these difficult situations? In today’s passage we saw that even though the church, the Christians, had already enjoyed some time without being persecuted for their faith, this was not the case with some of them. During the persecution instigated by Saul or Paul, the entire church had fled except for the […]

Christianos – Acts 11:19_30
The Lord has begun to form a multi-ethnic and multilingual church. But this is the beginning. The task of taking the gospel is not just to those here and the county who need to listen and re-listen until God touches them and brings them to his feet (as there are some of you this morning […]
