Persecution Preaching Peril – Acts 8:1-25

Posted on June 2, 2025 by eig

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

Posted on April 8, 2025 by eig

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 […]

God’s Mission Brings Opportunities to Share the Gospel – Acts 3:11-26

Posted on February 24, 2025 by eig

Last time we learned how God used Peter and John to bring healing and salvation to a man lame from birth.  One result is the opportunity it provided for the apostles to share the gospel.  This applies to us as believers who are also sent by the Lord, as missionaries. When we live on mission, […]

The Message of Salvation – Acts 2:14-41

Posted on January 27, 2025 by eig

Peter through this sermon or preaching, will explain to the audience (many Diaspora Jews who had come for the special celebration, some to stay permanently in Jerusalem, some temporary) what is happening. God is doing this for a purpose. He will explain that this is a new beginning for Israel. From now on, the Holy […]

Reflections on St Paul’s letter to the Galatians:There is only one Gospel from God

Posted on July 6, 2023 by eig

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

Posted on February 14, 2021 by eig

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 […]
