Review Last week we travelled 700 Miles In Paul’s Shoes as he journeyed from Miletus to Jerusalem. Along the way, Paul enjoyed Christian hospitality, he moved forward despite knowing the future included suffering, he practiced self-denial so that he could effectively minister to Jew and Gentile, and…

START RECORDING PRAY ACTS 22 I’ve always been a tinkerer. I’m pretty mechanical. I like taking things apart and putting them back together. I like to figure it out rather than read the directions. So you can imagine my excitement when I figured out how God works to accomplish his will in the world. It’s…

Finally got there! Ever plan a trip and try to plan for everything, but things do not go as planned? Paul arrived in Jerusalem with joyful anticipation, after several delays along the way ( Act20:16 , 21:3-10 ) and was bearing love gift for the needy saints in Jerusalem ( Rom15:25-27 ) His arrival had…

This session we will continue to look at the Greek word “thélēma,” with one of the three persons of the Trinity as the direct object or the subject in the Gospels.

Review Luke highlighted two of Paul’s messages in Acts chapter 20. The first message was noteworthy because while Paul was preaching, a young man named Eutychus went asleep, fell three stories, and died. God restored his life again. We saw that God’s favor is shown towards us as He chooses. We don’t…

Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. What is Baptism? Calvin…

As we have been studying our way through Acts, we have been seeing the theme which is spelled out in the very beginning of the book. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” This…

32 And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 18 But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. 20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in…

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken…

“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord…

Thegospel is opposed byboth Wolves and Wolvs masquerading as sheep.

We've come to the end of Acts and we summarised it from the perspective that it's a Spirit-empowered, boundary-crossing GROWTH story. It encourages us in our faith journey of growth, and as we boldly share the gospel.

Three False Methods, and a True One Three wrong ways: Seeking God’s will through signs and “ fleeces ” Where do we get the idea of “fleeces” from? Gideon We say that people are “setting out a fleece” when they challenge God to reveal His will through some uncommon event or through some apparently chance…

We left off last time with the promise that if we are in Christ we have been reconciled with Him and can stay that way, reconciled if we continue in our faith. Lets begin reading our reading today at Colossians 1:24 - 2:5 24 Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what…

In Acts 9 we hear of Paul's radical transformation from persecutor to proselytizer. What effected this transformation? Is this power available in our lives?

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith…

The Great Commission tells us to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that Christ has commanded. Because this command is true for all believers, it follows that the words of 1 Peter 3:15 are true for all of us…

1 Now after five days Ananias the high priest came down with the elders and a certain orator named Tertullus. These gave evidence to the governor against Paul. 2 And when he was called upon, Tertullus began his accusation, saying: “Seeing that through you we enjoy great peace, and prosperity is being…
