Mary is one mother we do not talk about often, but she was a special mother. Mary was simple, she submitted herself to God, she was scriptural, she went through suffering, and she was spiritual minded. When the angel of the Lord came to Mary and told her that she was going to have a baby, without knowing a man, she simply said yes. She gave her life to God and allowed for His plan to take over rat...

Sometimes we forget who we belong to. We become prideful and put ourselves first and give ourselves the glory. Just like Herod did in Acts 12:18-25. But we don’t want to make the same mistakes as Herod did. All things that we have in life are from God and God should get all the glory. See Herod became prideful and God gave him the consequences he deserved. God is one who needs to be respected and...

If you call yourself a Christian, are you truly a follower of Christ? At some point we need to stop and think do we truly believe? There is a difference between truly knowing God and being religious. Peter was someone who truly was a follower of Christ. If he had to die because of telling the Gospel to others then he would be willing to do it. We need to ponder on whether we would be willing to di...

Jesus knew that all things needed to be fulfilled. One of those things was going on the cross to suffer for us because of our sin. They pierced His hands and feet, gave Him vinegar to drink, and had Him on the cross till he suffocated to death. The only thing that they did not do was break His legs, which is another prophecy that was fulfilled. Christ‘s death, burial, and resurrection were all aut...

A Christian is someone who is like Christ. Being a Christian entails a lot. God extended grace to us and allowed for us to be in heaven with Him. But being a Christian is not just about being saved and getting to go to heaven, it’s about doing the Great Commission. Barnabas was a positive prophet, a good encourager, welcomed people, and wasn’t jealous of others successes. We need to be a lot more...

Sometimes we get to caught up in traditions or things we have done over and over again, which makes us not want to do anything else besides the things we have done over and over again. But sometimes doing something different is better than doing what we have always done. As Christians if someone gives us advice on something that is different than what we do, we should maybe take their advice and n...

In Acts 10:34-48, it was now an equal opportunity for Jews and Gentiles to be saved. A Gentile, Cornelius, was hungry and thirsty for the truth. Just like Cornelius we had a hunger and thirst for truth. We always need to be hungry for the Lord’s Word. At this time is when Cornelius got saved and made Jesus Lord of all over His life. As saved Christians sometimes we need to remember that Jesus is L...

The Holy Spirit is working through our lives just as it did in Bible times. In Acts 10, a centurion man, named Cornelius, meets Peter. They end up eating together, which is where you start to see Peter’s prejudice against Gentiles start to weaken, because he is beginning to see that Gentiles are just people like they are people. Cornelius even knelt down before Peter because he was humbling himsel...

God puts people or things in our way sometimes to steer us in the right directions and some times that takes baby steps. For example, God allowed many things to happen with Peter and it took baby steps to get him where God wanted him to be. God brings things together in His timing. We need to stop and listen instead of trying to rush things because God is always a step ahead of us. He knows everyt...
