In many ways, our world today mirrors the one to which the apostle Paul set out. We have become so post-Christian that society now resembles a pre-Christian culture. In that sense, we are not unlike the ancient city of Athens.
He Goes Before Us
Let’s explore how God works in and through our lives, preparing us for His purpose in ways we often don't realize, as we look at a powerful moment in the Book of Acts that continues to shape our lives today.
Disciples Who Make Disciples
Be that Barnabas that God has equipped you to be. Step up boldly and be that friend and encourager God has created you to be.
The Power of God Can’t Be Bought
The power of God isn’t about us—it’s all about Him. And it can’t be bought!
Chosen to Serve
No, the church isn’t perfect, but then again, it never has been! But we endeavor to worship, follow, and follow the example of the only One who is and ever was perfect.
A Miraculous Escape
The miraculous spiritual power of God is precious because it is God's and it comes – or does not come – according to His sovereign plan.
Pride Comes Before a Fall
One of the greatest tests in our own lives as to whether we are walking in the spirit or being led by our flesh is pride.
What Should We Do?
There is a question that stands out above all others. It is a question that arises from the depths of the very soul with which we were created.
Who Should We Obey?
The Spirit of God will always lead us to stand for what is right over what is popular, or what is safe.
One Heart, One Mind
The Spirit of God united them and they lifted their voices TOGETHER. The people were of one heart and one mind, and God was pleased to answer their requests.
In Whose Name Have You Done This?
Each of them was a follower just like us – through whom God chose to work to bring glory to His Name. They all knew it wasn’t about them; it was all about Him. And it still is!
How Can This Be?
The early church looked radically different from the world around them . . . to the point others were drawn to ask, “How can this be?”
As They Waited
Are you waiting on God? The early disciples learned waiting does not mean inactivity.
Revival Over Capacity
The sign simply said, “Revival Over Capacity.” My first thought was, i hope so, because if it truly is God’s activity, it will be beyond our capacity to fully understand or define.
A Journey on the Damascus Road
Whatever prompted us to embark on our journey, God can – and will – use it for us to have a fresh encounter with Him and to experience the transformation He intends for our lives.
There is No Such Thing as a Small Act of Obedience
Are you ignoring the prompting of that still, small voice by trying to convince yourself that your obedience won’t really make a difference?
Is the Door Open or Closed?
Whether they are open or closed, God will use the doorways along our path to lead us to just the right place – at just the right time – to encounter just the right people
Is He Worthy?
Is He worthy? Is God truly worthy? The early church believed He was, and it changed the way they thought about everything.
The Language of the Heart
God created each of us with our own language of the heart – a language that echoes and reflects the language of His heart.
A Divine Delay
If you are in the midst of a delay in your life journey, take heart – there is an end to the delay!
