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...

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Reflections on St Paul’s letter to the Galatians:There is only one Gospel from God
The book or letter to the Galatians was written by Paul the apostle to a group of churches he established in the southern part of Galatia (now modern Turkey) during his first missionary journey (A.D. 46-48). It is probably the earliest of Paul’s letters written around AD 49 just before the Jerusalem Council mentioned in […]

What It Means To Follow The Lord: Three Simple Steps
In a society like ours, it is easy to get confused with the amount of information available to us. We can drown in it. When it comes to Christianity, the same can be true. People try to explain what it means to be a Christian depending on their denominational bent, theological bent, and a bunch […]
