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...

Paul Servant of Christ – Acts 9:19-32

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 […]

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 […]

A Servant of God: Four Motives Unworthy of the Gospel
In 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6, Paul shared with the Thessalonian church that he did not have unworthy motives when he and his team went to them and started the church. He did not have any unworthy motives of the Gospel of Christ. These are applicable not only to those who serve in some form of Christian […]
