1Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.a 2And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. 3Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. 4And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look...

(ESV) 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

The early Christians were also committed to mission. But it is not until verse 47 that we learn this. Verse 47 corrects the imbalance of verse 42, for it teaches that the Lord Jesus himself did it.

We should not polarise between the structured and the unstructured, Christianity is joyful, and every meeting or service should be a celebration of joy. At the same time, the early church’s worship was never irreverent.

Anti-intellectualism and the fullness of the Spirit are mutually incompatible.

The same God who had made Paul the apostle of the Gentiles (v. 1) had also pressed the Roman Christians into the service of His imminent and coming Kingdom. As men called unto holiness, they belong no longer to themselves or to the old world which is passing to corruption. They belong to Him who has called them. Not for Paul only, but for them also, has the Son of man been appointed Son of God thr...

An unchurched Christian for the NT knows nothing of such. We are not only committed to Christ, we are committed to the Body of Christ.

You don’t rewrite it, reshape it, revise it, or rework it. You accept it. That means the “good news” is an invitation. You’re invited to a new life of faith in Christ —forgiven of all your sins, cleansed by the work of Christ on your behalf, and set free to live a new life by the power of the Spirit.

Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles. Acts 2:22

The apostle Paul wrote, “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on...

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.

“I have upheld since you were conceived, and have carried since your birth. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?

Being “born again” is required for salvation. The term, “born again” was introduced to Nicodemus in the Bible and explained by Jesus in Scripture. A person is “born again” through faith in Jesus Christ, who took the judgement for our sins to give his righteousness to anyone who would believe.

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Listen to how Judas for money was able to identify with Jesus but Peter for the sake of his safety disowned Jesus.

With so much of information available we have so little knowledge of who we are or what we are. The identity of who we are poses a challenge to us all, for in our identity we hope that the hint of our purpose will be revealed. The Christian would have to approach this question differently for their identity is open knowledge belonging to God and hidden in Jesus Christ. Prior in attempting to answe...

Now God says “do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”. But the world says, “come lie with me and satisfy the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and fulfil the pride of life… you don’t even have to leave the church congregation.” Having intercourse right at the altar like Absalom did to David to shame him – they are now sleeping with other gospels of pros...
