The believers didn't set out on a carefully planned mission—they were scattered by hardship. Yet everywhere they...

Is there anyone beyond the reach of God's grace? In this episode, we journey through Acts 10:34–48 as Peter comes to a life-changing realization: God shows no favoritism.

Ever get a call you really didn't want to answer? That's the vibe of this episode. We're walking with Ananias down Straight Street in Acts 9, where God sends an ordinary, slightly nervous disciple to knock on the door of the church's number one enemy—Saul.

The Greek word martys —martyr—simply means "witness." A witness. Someone who testifiesto what they've seen and heard.

The church must serve earthly needs with compassion, but never neglect the greater mission of preaching the gospel, calling people to repentance, and inviting them into the family of God through the Holy Spirit.
