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...

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 […]

Paul Servant of Christ – Acts 9:19-32
Saul, a man who was committed to destroying the Lord’s church, has just been transformed by the power of the risen Christ. He has now been commissioned by the Lord to be His apostle, His servant, His instrument in proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus.Here we see his beginning as a servant and proclaimer of Christ.

Transformation of a religious fanatic – Acts 9:1-19
Saul’s transformation will remind you how God transformed you and how he has called you to fulfill his calling by living a life obedient to Him. God wants to use you to help other believers, especially those who have little faith to establish, encourage, and disciple them.

A Father’s Compassion
I was reading this morning Psalm 103 and since it is Father’s Day, verse 13 called my attention. It says, “As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.” Here is a comparison that we often find in Hebrew poetry. The fact that a father shows […]

Sharing the Gospel with the open heart – Acts 8:26-40
Philip was obedient to the Lord’s guidance. He not only shared the Good News both publicly but also privately on this occasion. Although the Lord gave him the ability to communicate the gospel in a way that led people to believe, it is God’s work, not man’s, that leads to salvation. But He has chosen […]

Persecution Preaching Peril – Acts 8:1-25
In this chapter we see that Christians are systematically persecuted, especially in Jerusalem. This is expected. Jesus told his disciples that they too would be persecuted (John 15:18-21). But this will not stop the gospel or his church. This passage teaches us how persecution of the church is not outside of God’s will and should […]
