The prayers and the charitable giving of a "common" Roman centurion, Cornelius, rise to the attention of the Lord like sacrificial smoke while the "holy" Jewish fisherman, Peter, sees the dietary laws abolished opening the way for the Jew and the Gentile, the "holy" and the "common", to meet under the same roof and to share the same great news of the King of...

Do What!-Scott Tjernagel 04.08.2013 28:38 ↓

Will You Go? Ron Brandenburger 23.06.2013 33:39 ↓

Jesus found the Temple in a mess. His Father's House had become a "den of thieves." In particular the Court of the Gentiles served as a bizarre rather than a place to pray and experience the presence of God. So he cleaned house. What about today's "temple" ? The Temple is no longer a building in Jerusalem. That Temple has been torn down. The resurrection of Jesus intr...

Great Persecution & Missional Moment 18.06.2013 23:38 ↓

So Stephen is stoned to death and a great persecution breaks out against those who are following Jesus in Jerusalem. Only the Apostles and the men and women arrested by Saul remain in Jerusalem.
