In this introductory study of Acts 1, we look at the writer and recipient, and the gift promised by Jesus. 

Paul provide further evidence for the resurrection of Jesus in 1 Corinthians 15.  If Jesus isn't raised, then we are miserable and hopeless, but if Jesus is raised, then we should follow Him with total surrender and abandonment to His will. 

What instructions did Jesus give to his followers just before his resurrection - his parting shot?  How do those words inform our values and our practices today?

This passage considers how Jesus reinstated Peter.  It is a beautiful picture of redemption, forgiveness, and restoration. 

Further words and acts from Jesus following His resurrection. We can follow Him with confidence!

What evidence is there for the resurrection?  What did Jesus do and say to demonstrate that he truly was alive?  If he has been raised, then we should hang onto his every word.

On this day Jesus spends the beginning of Passover with his disciples and gives them some incredibly rich teaching and life-lessons in the upper-room discourse, after-which he will be arrested and put on mock trial. 

On this day Jesus will be worshiped by a woman pouring expense perfume upon him, and almost immediately, he will be betrayed by one of his disciples.  In what ways to does our worship reflect that of the woman? In what ways do we betray our Lord?

On the Tuesday before His crucifixion, we find Jesus confronting the religious leaders.  What would He say about our religious practices and ways of living?

On Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem in what we call the Triumphal Entry.  On Monday he would become confrontational at the Temple. What challenges do we find even for ourselves in His words?

Jesus delineates what he wants to find in his followers upon his return - he is looking for productivity.  He is looking for love activity. Are we doing both?

Jesus tells his followers to be working and to be ready for his return - may he find us so doing when he returns!

In this episode we take a look at what Jesus had to say about The Tribulation - days that you will certainly want to miss, and you can miss them or persevere through them only by faith in Christ. 

What attitudes and actions prompt Jesus to pronounce woes upon people?  Today's study answers those questions.

When challenged with a question, Jesus often responded with a question and reversed the challenges being thrown at him back to those challenging him.  Great lessons in debate skills.

In this episode I share some reflections from our Ash Wednesday Service - things to cause us to reflect, to repent, to be renewed. 

In more parabolic teaching, Jesus teaches his followers about the nature of the Kingdom of God. 

Jesus' curse of the fig tree provided an incredible teaching/learning opportunity for the disciples...and for us too!  This is part 2. 

Jesus' curse of the fig tree provided an incredible teaching/learning opportunity for the disciples...and for us too!

May we have eyes that can see and ears that can hear.  May we never be those who cannot see and hear the spiritual truth that God has for us. 

Jesus curses a fig tree and cleanses the temple and provides an incredible lesson about faith. 

What can we learn around the Triumphal entry of Christ?

Jesus and his entourage were heading to Jerusalem, Jesus sent some of them ahead to get things ready. What can we learn that has practical application to us?

We are accountable for how we use the gifts, talents, and abilities God has given us. This teaching comes with a stark warning.
