First Apostolic Church

Jesus mentioned the temple becoming a den of thieves because the people who bought and sold their was over valuing the sacrifices. He drove out both those who bought and sold. When we over value human sacrifices we often under value His ultimate sacrifice. Just let your sacrifice be a sacrifice... nothing more and nothing less.

God gives us his best. In return, he expects the best from us. We have dishonored God when we have offered polluted bread. Polluted bread is anything less than our best.

The only way that we can move is in HIm. Unless he gets in us, we cannot get in HIm.

We were blessed by the Covey's and their vision for the country of Bulgaria. They shared their passion for reaching the lost. They were a blessing to have in service.

Jesus' quest on earth was that the world may know God. Yet when he left that responsibility was given to us. We must bridge the gap between the world that don't know Him and us that do.

Living really concerns the Lord. Our health and finances don't rely solely upon us. They depend upon God. He truly is the center of it all!

Due to technical difficulties part 1 of this lesson did not get recorded. This lesson explores the practices of love as illustrated in 1 Corinthians 13. Love is capable of everything listed because God is love. True love is a picture of God.

All things consist in Him. All things were created for Him. All things live in Him. It's in Him.

Spotlight Service: What does it truly mean to be like Christ? There are characteristics and attributes a Christian should adopt from Christ. We are most Christ-like when we are trying to emulate Him.

Daniel - Part 17: Daniel receives a little more information about the future but then is told to seal the book until the time of the end. Here in Daniel, the Doctrine of the Resurrection is mentioned long before it is ever discussed in the New Testament scriptures.

God does not swear by another... he swears by himself. Others may have to swear by a higher power but God is that power... Nothing is too big for God!

Mother's Day: We are not given her name. She is not introduced to us as the daughter of such and such. She is simply described to us as the mother of Zebedee's children. Her desire of the Lord was that her boys would be near to him. That would prove to be very beneficial to her children throughout their lives

Daniel - Part 16b: A little more history brings us what some have called the "Antichrist of the Old Testament" --Antiochus Epiphanes. Yet, around Daniel 11:36 we skip forward to the last days and are given a description of the Antichrist. We entertain the idea of whether or not he is the king of the North mentioned in the closing of chapter 11.

The Word of God is a source of spiritual riches. It profits us in various ways. There are many ways that it equips us. This lesson highlights these areas.

A timeless subject is the Word of God. We must be careful that it does not become common to us in that we lose the awe of its true character. Worlds were framed by it. Healing was secured by it. We have been begotten and made to grow by it. It is a precious Word.

Daniel - Part 16a: With great exactness the vision foretells of the history of several battles from the time of Alexander to Antiochus Epiphanes. Again, it is history to us but it was prophecy for Daniel and those of this day.

In this instance, Jesus had compassion on the multitude NOT because they were diseased or possessed with unclean spirits BUT BECAUSE they continued with him for three days. In other portions of scripture Jesus had compassion because the peoples' needs drew him to them but here he already addressed the needs and is still compassionate because of their faithfulness. There is need driven compassion a...

There was a paradigm shift in the New Testament. Jesus desired not only to do stuff "for" people but he wanted to do something "to" them.

Daniel - Part 15: Chapter 11 sets the stage for the final vision that Daniel will witness. It also emphasizes the reality of a spiritual world where things mirror what is happening in the natural world.
