St. Paul has gone through two trials so far. But this one is more professional before Felix. Ananias has come down to Caesarea along with other elders and a lawyer by name Turtullus. We are studying the characters involved in this chapter like Felix, Druscilla, Ananias the high priest, St. Paul, Turtullus. Felix the procrastinator has not achieved much in life nor Druscilla. Compared to what Paul...

What did Noah feel when he came out of the Ark? Was he elated that the Lord showered his favour upon him leaving beside 99 9 99 99 9 99 99 9 99 etc or was he hit with a deep depression to see devastation all around. He had two options: either to be depressed or feel the necessity to calmly start working fulfilling a role just like Adam did 10 generations ago! Please stay tuned in. We pray this tea...

The Sanhedrin had two rounds of hearing from Paul. The religious persecution of Jews was beyond comprehension of the commander. He wanted to know the truth by flogging Paul in the previous chapter. He brings him before them the second time. After Paul shouted: "I am a pharisee, son of a pharisee. I am bound the sake of the resurrection of the dead" etc. It divided the crowd which partly helped Pau...

Eyes of Saul, sees Jesus as an imposter, blasphemer, untrustworthy and Gentiles as not equals, destined to hell etc. Eyes of Paul need the scales to fall off. Those eyes have to be transformed and raised with new light in them to see Gentiles as equals, lost from eternal life, in whom image of God has to be restored. To know that God has chosen you, to know His will, to see his glory, hear his voi...

St. Paul's likes and desires are in synch with the will of God. He desired to go to Jerusalem and other times he wanted to go to Rome. He just didn't want to do things. He was compelled by the spirit to go to Jerusalem. He set his face like his master towards Jerusalem. There were prophecies at Tyre and Caesarea about the impending persecution to the apostle. Prophets wanted to discourage him but...

We must understand the deep experience of encountering God and its impact on people like Moses and Paul. Moses had the experience of seeing the burning bush. He had the experience of being with God to bring the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments. He goes a second time but this time he had to take two tablets like the ones he broke, only this time it is plain so that the Lord can write o...

After the uproar has ceased, Paul left Ephesus and set sail to Macedonia. He later discovered the plot for his life, so changed the plan to go to Jerusalem and went by land to Philippi. We notice that seven individuals went along Paul on this journey to Jerusalem. They were carrying the money pooled by various churches to help the believers in Jerusalem. We don't find anyone joining from Corinth o...

We have the incidence when Gehaji the servant of Elisha ran and put the staff of Elisha on the face of the lad who died and returned and reported that nothing happened. Jesus' disciples could not cast the demon out. The sons of Sceva tried and commanded the demons to come out. The jumped on the all seven and beat them up and they had to run naked on the streets of Ephesus. Know the secret to cast...

Have you received the Holy Spirit when you believed was the question of Paul to the Ephesian disciples who knew only John's(Baptist) baptism. Whatever the school of belief one may subscribe to many are living like them now. There is no power or strong witness to the working of God's power in their life. Please stay tuned in. We pray this teaching blesses you! Please contact us via the links below...

A disciple is one who makes disciples. Paul spent nearly one and half years in Corinth and he joined with Aquila and Priscilla as they were tent makers as himself. During this time, they came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. When Paul set out from Corinth, they followed him and he left them at Ephesus. Where they became a backbone to the church. To learn more about them, Please stay tuned...

Paul could not continue for long in Athens. He leaves Athens and travels down to Corinth about 50 miles, which takes two days by land and one day by sea route. He says, in the first epistle to Corinthians chapter 2, I did not come to you ..... but cam with fear and trembling. To understand the mind and emotions of Paul at this juncture, Please stay tuned in. We pray this teaching blesses you! Plea...

Paul was left in Athens. As he went about the city, which was the intellectual capital of the Roman Empire. The city was full of idols, it is said that it was easy find gods rather than men. The emotion of Paul is expressed by the Greek word "paroxysmos " from which our English word paroxysm comes. Something should stir inside of us when we see the godlessness, immorality, idolatry, drunkenness et...

The Lord showed that Christians are busy trying to clean up outward appearance but the Lord is interested in the inside of the heart. If the heart is clean, that worship is acceptable to him. Then, we see Paul going to Thessalonica to preach the gospel. His problems there and how he is forced out to go to Berea. The good practice of Bereans checking to see if what is preached by Paul is so. Please...

As we have seen on the map, Paul and Silas were forbidden from preaching in Asia. If we notice the seven churches to whom St. John wrote the letters in the book of Revelation are located here. There is no competition in the kingdom of God. Though Paul would preach in Ephesus for many months. Now, being called to preach the gospel in Greece which is part of Europe, they land in Philippi. According...

In the closing verses of chapter 15 of Acts, we see Paul and Barnabas quarrelling over John Mark. Barnabas wanted Mark to join them and Paul didn't want Mark because he deserted them during their first missionary journey. They agreed to disagree. We see Paul wanted Mark to help him in his work later. He commended him to a church. Of course, Barnabas' patience bore its fruit. They parted in...

When Paul was stoned at Lystra, thinking he was dead, they dragged his body to the outside of the city to him a donkeys burial. But when the disciples gathered around him he stood up and went into the city. Did Paul die and was he raised to life? Please find out! Please stay tuned in. We pray this teaching blesses you!

We see Paul and Barnabas at Iconium where there is a Synagogue. You see both Jews and Greek speaking Gentiles who fear the God of Jews. Paul presented the Gospel effectively and boldly. The result is that GREAT number of them believed the Gospel. As usual this divided the congregation and those who did not believe stirred up the crowd and planned to insult Paul and to stone them. After knowing abo...

Paul's preaching to the Jewish synagogue in Pisidian Antioch. It's very brief, if we stick to the text, it will take about 3 minutes to speak it out. By that what we mean is that Luke is giving a sample of Paul's message. It is not the entire message. One can find similarities between this one and the messages preached by Peter and Stephen! In this we get to understand the importance o...

We see Holy Spirit is the leader from divine side of things and Barnabas and Paul were chosen by, lead by, directed by, controlled (filled with Holy Spirit). Firstly, we see government of the Church by the Holy Spirit and people who are set apart by Him are the vessels through whom he flows. We see how Paul confronts Elymas in the power of the Holy Spirit. Please stay tuned in. We pray this teachi...

If we follow the theme of Luke of showing Peter's life and Paul's life on equal footing, this chapter is somewhat closing the life of Peter, even though we will see him once more in chapter 15. Luke is showing how the Jews were uniting with the state or the other way and targeting the Christians and persecuting. On one hand, we see Herod misuse his power to execute apostle James, we see th...

The gospel goes global in this chapter! Some (people) one decided to share the gospel with Greeks in Antioch. Until now it was shared with Jews only or with those who are sympathetic with Jewish faith. Most interesting thing about this is that there is no angel involved or a Vision from the Holy Spirit. We are stepping into the New Testament mission work, whoever decides to become that "someo...

There arose dispute in Jerusalem church that Peter a circumcised Jew has entered into a gentiles home, that is Cornelius! You can read the repeated story for the second time in this chapter. What settled the matter was that they received the Holy Spirit and it happened just as at the beginning! This gift has vertically divided the church..... Please stay tuned in. We pray this teaching blesses you...
