Today With Jesus

This week brings us to Acts 18 and the end of the second missionary journey. Paul’s time in Corinth and in Ephesus points to purification and praise that is available only in and through Jesus! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Dan and Robert discuss Acts 17:16-34 with four questions: Where are we? Why are we here? Who is there? What is said there? Then, once the context is established, they dive into Paul’s sermon itself to explore how Paul thought of Jesus and how he preached Jesus to this specific group of people. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In Acts 17, Paul traveled to Thessalonica and to Berea. While the response varied at each place, Paul’s strategy remained the same: to teach people about Jesus. This provides a wonderful example for our own small group Bible studies. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Acts 16 introduces us to three individuals, one of whom was shown to Paul in a vision and two whom Paul met in his life. What they all had in common was that they had a need that only Jesus could meet. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

When the Christians who were Pharisees adopted a “Jesus plus” approach to how one will be saved, the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem learned that Jesus is all one needs to be forgiven of sins. Today, Jesus continues to be the focus of our faith and the key to our confidence! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Acts fourteen reveals a lot about Paul’s character and motivation. As Dan and Robert walk through the chapter, they notice how Jesus made Paul who he was meant to be. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

For season 7, we will continue our emphasis on “The Jesus They Knew” (begun in season 6), focusing on the movements of the early church in Acts, particularly the apostles. Consider that men like Peter (on whom the first twelve chapters of Acts focuses) personally knew Jesus! That observation gives us incredible insight as we carefully read Peter’s sermons (and the messages preached by others).   C...

Two miraculous experiences involving angels captivate our attention as we read Acts chapter twelve, yet the focus is on Jesus, who dispatched those angels! What do we learn about “the Jesus they knew” from this passage? Find out as Dan and Robert discuss Acts 12:20-25 in the season 6 finale of “Today With Jesus.” ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In Acts 12 the first of the Twelve is martyred: James, the son of Zebedee (John’s brother). Peter is imprisoned, presumably to be killed, as well. But outside the prison, in the home of Mary the mother of John Mark, the church is gathered to pray. The answer to their prayer tells us something about “the Jesus they knew” — He is the the Commander of God’s heavenly host! ★ Support this podcast on Pa...

The grace of God through Jesus motivates God’s people to cheerfully give to others. This is an observation we can make from Acts 11:27-30 that can be further fleshed out by a study of 2 Corinthians 8-9. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

When Barnabas arrived in Antioch, he “saw the grace of God” in the new Christians there. This is the impact of their being converted to Jesus, who himself is “full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

Most of Acts chapter ten leads up to the conversion of Cornelius and his household. The inspired narrative walks us through Peter’s maturing understanding that the gospel has a worldwide appeal. By application we see that Jesus truly is Lord of all! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Acts chapter nine describes three relatively obscure individuals from three obscure locations. Look at what Jesus meant to them! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Saul’s conversion to Christ provides a pivotal transition point in Acts chapter nine. Who was Jesus to this man who would become a beloved apostle? A study of Acts 9:1-22 reveals that, to Saul, Jesus was the Son of the living God. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

When the Ethiopian heard Philip’s preaching about Jesus, he learned that Jesus is better than he could have ever dreamed! Walk through Acts 8:26-40 with Dan and Robert on this episode of Today With Jesus. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The book of Acts shifts in several ways as we come to chapter eight. There is a shift away from Jerusalem, a shift away from the apostles as the primary teachers, and even a shift in how Jesus is preached. Philip preaches to the Samaritans about the kingdom of God and thus, implicitly, presents Jesus as the King over his kingdom. But what kind of king is Jesus? Studying the first half of Acts 8, D...

Watch Jesus carefully as you study the end of Acts 7. In the context, Stephen, while he is being martyred, sees Jesus at the right hand of God. How is Jesus described and what can we learn from it? In short, we learn that the Jesus Stephen knew is the Messiah who cares for you! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Stephen called Jesus “the Righteous One” (Acts 7:52). As we make application from Stephen’s magnificent sermon, we learn that Jesus was the man who always did what was right. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Acts 6:14: “for we have heard [Stephen] say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us” (emphasis added). The first half of Acts 6 shows us the secret to respect each other, the secret to unity, and the secret to having a good reputation. In the last half of the chapter we find the core message of Stephen: “Jesus just makes things bet...

As Peter and John answer to the Sanhedrin for preaching about Jesus in temple, we find that these two apostles had been impressed by Jesus’ holiness and his humility. Consequently, the Jewish council took note that these uneducated Galileans had been with Jesus! The point? Jesus will change your life!

Acts chapter 3 emphasizes Jesus as a servant — both the servant of God and the servant of people. It was Jesus himself who said that “the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mat. 20:28). Consequently, the book of Hebrews calls Jesus our “minister.” Wow! What a thought! Dive deeper into these concepts as Dan and Robert walk through the encounte...

Dan and Robert begin a study through the book of Acts, focusing on The Jesus They Knew . Acts is really all about Jesus, and the message of Jesus being spread throughout the world. It’s a wonderful success story! As the book of Acts opens, Dan and Robert note that “the Jesus they knew” was only getting started (from the first half of chapter one). Then, the example of the apostles replacing Judas...
