Encounter with God – Exodus 34
Today we find that many Christians don’t have time to have a daily encounter with God. We all have excuses from saying we are too busy to just plainly living our lives in our own effort. In the Bible we have an example of someone who had an encounter with God. His name is Moses. […]

What the resurrected Jesus says to us – Revelation 1:12-18; 22:7, 12-17
What would Jesus say to us now right here? What would He want us to know? We don’t have to wonder. The Lord Jesus told John the Apostle in the book of Revelation words that He wants us to know about Him, about the future and what we should do. John saw a vision of […]

Serving in multiethnic church – Acts 6:1-7
During the dispersion, many Jews had inhabited places far from Jerusalem, learning and speaking the Greek language and culture. Many of them believed in the gospel and became part of the Church. The church was one. She was united in Christ. But growth brought a problem. In this passage we look at how this problem […]

The Gospel is Invincible – Acts 5:17-42
In this passage, we look at how the Apostles, Peter, and John are persecuted once again for preaching the gospel (culminating in Saul’s persecution of the church), how God rescues them, commands them to preach, and how they obey Him. We also see how the gospel bears fruit because the gospel is invincible. Nothing can […]

I am not a Good Parent
There is so much written out there about how to be a good parent. This assumes that we all need to be better parents or that we aren’t good enough. In the Bible I find the words of Jesus fascinating: “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how […]

The Church Purified – Acts 5:1-16

Since the beginning of creation, the enemy, Satan, The Old Serpent has opposed God’s plan. He knows he can’t stop God’s sovereign purpose, yet he continues to try. […]

The Generous Church – Acts 4:32-37
The heart of the church is generosity. The generous Church is God’s plan. This is part of our mission. We are the means, through our generosity, by which we show God’s character. It’s part of discipleship. A generous church will have an impact in our community and will open doors for us to share the […]

In today’s passage we find the beginning of persecution against Christians. There is a cycle that we can look at that usually takes place when the chase begins. It is important to learn not only how persecution begins but also to learn how to respond. We also learn an important truths related to our faith. […]
