As Peter was imprisoned, those in the church began to pray ea...

In this intriguing episode, we delve into the events that took place in Saul's life after his escape from Damascus and his return to Jerusalem.

In this episode, I recap the previous verses we covered in Acts 8, and I explore these two questions: why did Luke include Phillip's story in the scripture, and what are we to learn from them? The answer to these questions could be the key that opens the door to your next move in God.  Download this episode now to hear a fresh word to deepen your walk with Christ.

In this episode, we continue to see the impact of Phillip's ministry. The word got back to the apostles that Samaria had accepted the word of God, so they sent Peter and John to meet up with Phillip. Have you ever wondered why the Holy Spirit sent Peter and John to Samaria? Was it for the new convert in Samaria or to do heart surgery on Simon? What should believers learn from this information...

In this episode, we see how God used the persecution of the church to initiate the plans and purpose he had for Phillip to advance God's Kingdom Agenda. If you recall, prior to chapter six in the Books of Acts, Phillip was working behind the scenes; now, God is using him to become the first missionary for the church. The Holy Spirit used Phillip in a supernatural way to affect the lives of pe...

 I'm here to share something amazing with you. In a recent episode, we explore how Stephen's death becomes the seed that gives birth to an incredible prophecy. As we learn from Acts 1:8, the Holy Spirit empowers us to be witnesses of Jesus in every corner of the earth. It's a powerful reminder that even in the midst of the most challenging situations, God is always at work and has a...

Jesus taught us in John 12:24 that unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains by itself alone. If it dies, it produces much grain. Stephen was the first martyr in the church, and his life was not sown in vain. In this episode, I break down the history lesson provided by Stephen and how his actions reveal the fruits of a life "full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom" an...

In this episode, we are introduced to Stephen, a man full of the Spirit and wisdom who was used by God. His history lesson or only record semon is still ringing in the ethos of time. I read through his complete semon in this episode so it is longer than normal, however, it is worth every minute to hear his story in one sitting. As you listen to the episode, I want you to find the critical lesson r...

In this episode, we see how conflict becomes the means by which God selected people for the work of the ministry. How do you view conflict? Do you see it as a threat or an opportunity for God to show up on your behalf? I also want to point out upfront that the answer to the conflict was not found outside the church. The answer was standing by, waiting for the appointed time to be recognized. What...

I often find it interesting to see how people respond when God's power is working in and through others. In this episode, we see that many signs and wonders were taking place through the hands of the apostles, and while this was occurring, people were afraid to join them, and some people spoke highly of them. Question: Why did Luke add a brief description of how the Holy Spirit was working in...

In this episode, Peter and John are brought before the council to be questioned. The council recognized that Peter and John weren't like other troublemakers who were brought before them.

In this episode, Peter and John are confronted and put in jail by the angry religious leaders. Understanding why the leaders were so angry should create a greater understanding on the "Power of Jesus Name, and Resurrection."
