Acts 18

KNOW: The apostle Paul was once a blasphemer and insolent opponent of Jesus Christ. All that changed when Jesus met him. All that we once were can be changed too. DO: Receive every gift that Christ has for you through the Incarnation. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. - 1 Timothy 1:15 Sermon...

It may be that in this miracle recorded for us today we see the heart of Jesus more profoundly than in any other great sign recorded in the gospels. It is one of Jesus’ lesser-known miracles; meaning it is a brief event in his ministry, recorded only by Luke and not often discussed today. In fact, it is likely that if you were to ask a well read Christian to name the accounts of Jesus raising the...

“Go, call your husband, and come here” Jesus said to the woman at the ancient well of Samaria. The two had struck up a conversation while Jesus was waiting for his disciples to return from the city of Sychar with supplies. He was in an uncomfortable situation, for he was speaking publicly with an unaccompanied woman as an outsider in this hostile territory. Jesus, being a Jew, was an unwelcome vis...

John had the unique experience of encountering Christ the first time while he was still a fetus. So much joy surrounded the news that Messiah was coming into the world that it caused even the unborn herald of the Christ to leap for joy when he heard the sound of the mother of Christ’s voice. Elizabeth, John’s mother, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and John continued in his development in the wom...

Acts 17

In such a way, Joseph was a just man. He was faithful to the law and that faithfulness bore the fruit of righteous actions in his life. He had mercy on his fiancé because he loved her and had compassion for her, but he also knew that he must obey the law and not marry an unfaithful woman.

Acts 16

Ever wonder what that announcement meant to Mary? Here are a few possibilities many do not consider. First, she was “greatly troubled.” Angelic visits are not the normal order of the day, not in our day nor in Mary’s. The angel Gabriel said she was “favored,” but favored for what? Mary knew enough to know that God does not send angels to say “Hey, good news! It will be sunny tomorrow.” When an ang...

Rahab was also a wise woman. She had heard about the exploits of God’s people as they entered the Promised Land, and she knew that the gods of the Canaanites were no match for the God who was watching over Israel. Wisely, she changed her allegiance to the one true God. According to Rahab, this information was not secret—all the people had heard and were melting in fear—yet it appears that only Rah...

The twenty-second Psalm is a psalm of King David, but in reality, it is a psalm of the Messiah. Jesus quoted the opening stanza to this psalm just prior to his death on the cross: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” They are the words of David, taken up by the greater David, Jesus, who would be born in David’s line. Whether or not David knew he was speaking of the future Messiah is unknown...

Acts 15

KNOW: Mary was a humble servant of the Lord. In response, the Lord blessed her more than any woman has ever been blessed. She was given the honor of bearing the Christ child. She bore Jesus in the flesh, and Jesus saved her soul in return. DO: Choose Jesus over a name in this world. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and...

As his anointed prophet, Isaiah enjoyed a special relationship with God, but like all the prophets who came before Jesus, he was left with more questions than answers as it related to the coming Messiah. Through the prophets the Spirit of Christ revealed the sufferings of the Messiah and his subsequent glory that would follow.

KNOW: Jonathan’s commitment to David, who would replace him as crown prince of Israel, is counterintuitive. His commitment to the Lord was greater than his commitment to his own welfare. Jonathan is a reflection of the greater love and self-sacrifice of Christ. DO: Find a friend in Jesus. Then practice Christian friendship. As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit...
