Send us Fan Mail James the Apostles is killed by Herod and Peter is next on the list and in jail awaiting his execution.  During the night he is delivered by an angel.  

Send us Fan Mail Continuing the study on the fruit of the Spirit, Joy is next on the list.  Joy comes when Jesus inundates our souls with his presence and we realize that we are secure in Him forever.  The natural response is joy.  

Send us Fan Mail In this series we will look at the effect the Holy Spirit brings into our lives upon receiving Him.  The effect or "Fruit" of the Holy Spirit is necessary in our lives if we want to have a close relationship with Jesus.  Not only do we receive the fruit but we also must allow it to bud, blossom and prepare it to be used for God's intended purposes.  

Send us Fan Mail Peter explains to the church leaders that the Gentiles have received the Holy Spirit.  This is alarming at first to them but ultimately they realize it's  God's universe not theirs.  Also Barnabas goes to Tarsus to get Paul and brings him to the church in Antioch which is seeing a great move of God. 

Send us Fan Mail Jesus is our Good Shepherd and as we draw closer to Him and become like sheep to a shepherd, He will lead us to those places where we can see His work being done in our lives. 

Send us Fan Mail The church at the time of the book of Acts was primarily Jewish.  The thinking of the Jewish mind was that their position in the Kingdom of God was exclusive because God chose them, gave them the Law (of Moses) and temple for the center of worship.  Little did they know that the non-Jewish (Gentiles) world would be opened up to the family of God.  And God uses Peter to kick it off...

Send us Fan Mail Acts 9 documents the famous "road to Damascus" experience where the young, zealous Pharisee named Saul has a life changing encounter with the risen Jesus whom he vowed to stamp out of existence.   

Send us Fan Mail Fellowship with God and other believers is vital in our relationships within the family of God.  Finding like-minded people who want to seek the Lord and glorify His name however, is not as easy as one would think.  Fellowship strengthens us and allows us to minister to others creating in us a heart to serve the Lord even more.  

Send us Fan Mail Acts 8 introduces Simon Magnus who would in church history become a false teacher and deceive many.  Also Samarians receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and Phillip baptized a royal official from Ethiopia.   

Send us Fan Mail Barnabas is a name students of Scripture will recognize as a traveling companion of Paul the Apostle but a closer look into the ministry of Barnabas we see much more to this man than a companion of Paul.   

Send us Fan Mail Stephen, after a powerful defense for the Gospel before the Jewish leaders, is stoned to death becoming the first martyr for Jesus.  

Send us Fan Mail Barabbas was on his way to be crucified for a crime he committed.  But upon being presented to the crowd he was set free and Jesus was instead crucified as the crowd demanded the Innocent die and the guilty set free.  A  powerful picture of our own salvation as Jesus paid the debt we owed that we could never pay.      

Send us Fan Mail Acts Ch. 6 shows how to deal with overworked ministers.   We are also introduced to Stephen who will become the first martyr of Jesus. 

Send us Fan Mail The word Bema was used to describe a seat of judgment.  We, as believers, need to understand that we are also going to undergo a judgement from Jesus at the Bema of Christ or the Judgment Seat of Christ.  This is where the believers are rewarded for their faithfulness to Jesus.  We should look at that day as test day where everything we do in response to His instructions will rece...

Send us Fan Mail Psalm 16 shares the heart of King David toward God as David acknowledges all the goodness that God has shown him over the years.  

Send us Fan Mail In our lives as believers we are constantly facing obstacles that hinder our relationship with God.  Choosing to walk in the light and not trying to walk in the light as well as the darkness is key to victory in our relationship with Jesus. 

Send us Fan Mail Acts 5 - the preaching of the Word continues in the temple causing a lot of drama for the religious elites.  

Send us Fan Mail The church is growing and the believers are growing more bold in their witness.  The religious establishment wants no part of it and attempts to silence them despite the power of God being demonstrated in healing of a lame man.  

Send us Fan Mail Prayer is one of the most neglected parts of many believer's lives but when we consciously put our minds to prayer we can then expect God to answer and see things happen as the Scriptures promises.   

Send us Fan Mail Acts Ch 3 begins with Peter and John healing a lame man.  This turns in to an opportunity to share the gospel with all those in the immediate area - the Temple.  Peter then delivers a powerful sermon to the listeners.  

Send us Fan Mail Throughout the Scriptures we meet people God ultimately uses mightily.  Many of them are really unfit in society's eyes to be used by God to do great things but God uses them anyway and accomplishes His purposes through that person.  For those that feeling no confidence in serving God, there is power for anyone who denies themselves, takes up their cross and follow Him.  He w...

Send us Fan Mail Acts chapter 2 tells how the church was born by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The supernatural power Jesus promised now came upon the disciples allowing them to become witnesses for Jesus.  

Send us Fan Mail Music is  a powerful tool to worship the Lord but is equally powerful in its ability to sway a believer's heart to darkness.  The Scriptures say a lot about music and singing and becoming familiar with what the Scriptures say helps us understand the beautiful gift music can be.  

Send us Fan Mail Continuing the discussion on music in the Scriptures, the old music that glorifies the world and evil is lodged in our memories and it hinders our relationship with God.  

Send us Fan Mail Jesus tells his disciples in Luke 9:23 “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. "  What does this mean and what application does it have for believers today?
