When the Lord leads us into a deeper walk and relationship with Him it requires us to follow Him regardless of the cost.  Paul and Barnabas encounter tough obstacles and people that were horrible to them. They pushed through the ministry they were called to by God and by His strength and plan, people came to faith in Christ.  Acts 14 shows us how we should live and follow…

We look at the reason and purpose for the existence of Paul and Barnabas on this journey in the spreading of the Gospel.  They meet resistance again and yet, in history there is always a reason and purpose for everything. They will now embark on what God is commissioning them to do…reach the Gentiles.  Act 13:26-52 The Gospel is about Christ, Christ centered and…

When you live your life, we typically live for ourselves. When people talk about us, it is usually all about us. However, as we see in Act 13:13-32, the history account that Paul shares is not about him but it is all about God! It is History! Yes, history and HisStory! Pray that you and I can live life’s that are about History in us lived out of us!

We see that the Holy Spirit is continuing to spread the gospel and people are coming to faith in Christ. We also see again in Acts 13, Saul (Paul) and Barnabas encounter struggles after being sent by the Holy Spirit, commissioned by the believers/church in Antioch to go on a Search and Save mission for God.  We also see how they confronted the adversary and how the…

We see that despite the horrible situation that Peter was in, the death of James, the persecution of the early church followers of Jesus, the prayers of His people are answered.  The Lord responds to the prayers of His people and not only was Peter released, the early church witnessed the answer to their prayers.  As we look at Acts 12, watch how the Lord moves, response…

When we as believers begin to realize that the Lord’s plans and ways are right, the result is phenomenal.  When God was increasing the early church, Acts 11:19-30, we see that it was done through His grace for His glory.  As the apostles and disciples shared the gospel message of Jesus, people came to faith. Lives were changed and cities were reached.  The spreading…

When we think of our walk with Jesus, we are give the ability to be free of all the things that have enslaved us. We need to live in the freedom that was given to us on our behalf by our Lord. As we reflect this weekend on the freedoms that we enjoy in our country, may we not forget that the freedom of a nation and our freedom in Christ isn’t free, it cost…

When God is involved in life, He has a plan, a purpose and a way. He takes in Acts 10 and moves a man that knew of Him and feared Him and purposed that he would KNOW God personally.  Moving in unexpected and socially unexpected ways, God uses a Peter from a whole different lifestyle and culture to bring the Gospel of Jesus to man, his family and friends.  Despite our…

When Saul in Act 9:23-43 finds himself as the Hunter now the Hunted is in the midst of chaos. The paralytic and the disciple Tabitha’s death puts others in chaos, God moves in and in the eye of the storm brings peace and growth. The gospel message moved in the regions just as Jesus said it would and it came in the midst of chaos then calmness! When you find your…

As we see Saul’s conversion take place, in Acts 9, we now see the same man radically changed. The transformation in his life took root and grew to the point that the synagogue he was going to go to and create a mess as well as the new followers of Jesus would be taken, jailed and possibly killed were hearing the truth of the Son of God being told by him. How does…
