Essentially the Gospel is the message of God's greatest gift. God’s great generosity is displayed for the giving of his son, to pay our debts, and to create new people. The Gospel should change the way we look at life. Because our lives are not our own, we are called to be Jesus-centered instead of self-centered. Jesus changes the way we treat others and how we must be generous to those that are i...

In this passage, the Apostles gain new courage to proclaim the power of God after the healing of the lame man. The leaders of the Temple confront Peter and John. The same leaders they once followed and looked to for spiritual guidance. The temple leaders critically and directly question this new community. The temple leaders are amazed by this new courage from the under-qualified fisherman. The pa...

Peter and John heal a lame man on the way to the temple. This new thing that God is doing through his church. The church is not confined like the Temple, but dynamic and is happening outside the old temple system. Jesus is creating new people through his Spirit and restoring them into the family of God.

What are the implications and positive consequences of the four practices (Apostles’ Doctrine, Fellowship, Breaking Bread, and prayer) the early church devoted themselves too? When a church devotes themselves to these four practices, what should we expect the church community to look like? Community is not the goal of the church, but the kind of community is the utmost importance when following th...

Prayer changes things, and the early church prayed like they believed that it did. We must practice prayer to experience true intimacy and the power of God.

In this passage, we see the way of Jesus practiced in communion. Why is communion so important to followers of Jesus? How can the practice of communion refocus us and give us new life? Find out in this teaching entitled, The Family Table.

We are called to assemble, minister, and live as a family together. The early church would daily live their lives together in community, and we should make it our goal to do the same. The church fellowshipping together is more than a good idea; it is the desire of God for his people.

People who are obsessed with their idea of community will inevitably kill all potential of real community. The church is not meant to be a community that is opinion based, but a practice-based. We are called to live life together in the way of Jesus.

Peter preaches in response to the Holy Spirit falling at Pentecost. Peter preaches the first Spirit-filled sermon. Peter tells the story of the hope of God now created in the church.

In this passage, we are going to see the followers of Jesus be filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit to carry out the mission of God. Because God sent the promised Spirit, we must find the meaning of being filled by the fullness of God.

Because Jesus is the manifestation of God, we must take hold of the life of Jesus.

God's slowness and apparent delay are deliverance for others. His patience is astounding and for our good.

Because God's love is all I need, I would envy others.

How do you respond to fear? What is a healthy response to fear? David calls people to trust and give praise amid the darkness.

Trials help activate your faith, so do not be afraid, but consider it as joy.

When we look upon the goodness and the glory of God, we are never the same.

David repents from his sin and longs for a clean and new heart. It is only through faith in the Gospel in which we are made whole.

In this passage, we learn that the follower of Jesus must learn to love what Jesus loves.

The people of God used to follow a cloud & fire when God was calling them to move. Now we have the Holy Spirit in our hearts.

To be set apart in scripture is to be removed and returned for a purpose. This process is called sanctification.

We must remember the goodness of God and remind ourselves of his faithfulness and goodness.

Because Jesus finished the work for us on the cross, we now must believe and receive God's rest for our restless souls.

Many doubt their beliefs, but few doubt their doubts. Look at the faith of the son of God's first skeptic.

Jesus is better than all other things that came before, and he will never change.

In the end, what matters most? God calls us to the fear of God and keeping his commandments.
