I am enjoying this book and agreeing with it (like "yes!", "write on"...laughing that Jesus wouldn't get hired because he was single...silly but prob would be true). There are some parts that uses particular language to describe leadersh...

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 […]

The Gospel is for Everyone – Acts 10:9-11:8
It’s normal when we think about those who need to know Christ, to think about the people who are in our circle or who are in our culture. It is difficult to think of others who are in other countries that we do not know. The truth is that the gospel, the good news of […]

Doing the work of God – Acts 9:32-10:1-8
As we learn from Peter doing the work of God, let’s ask ourselves, “Am I doing the work of God?” It doesn’t have to match Peter’s exactly. Another question related to this can be, “Am I hindering the work of God?” This can also be happening. In our previous study we looked at Saul’s conversion […]

El Mundo y el Reino de Dios – Mateo 13:24-43
A muchos de nosotros nos desanima ver el estado de nuestro mundo, especialmente en referencia al mal. A nuestros ojos, parece que el mal va de aumento. Por donde quiera que miramos, hay maldad y parece que aumento más y más. Esto nos puede llevar a deprimirse, a ser negativos, y tener malas actitudes. El […]
