- God has a personal name, and it isn't 'God' or 'Lord,' or 'Father.' #29 Reading Exodus 3.God has His own personal, name, and He gives it to Moses in chapter 3 of Exodus, appearing out of a burning bush.

- Early Church Leadership and Service #28 Reading Acts 6 + Did One of The Original Deacons Begin a Heresy?
The first internal controversy to hit the early church is recorded in Acts 6 - there is tension between the Hebrew and Greek widows over the amount of ministry and help they were receiving.

In Acts 4, the early church sees its leaders arrested and threatened for preaching that Jesus rose from the dead. How do they respond to this? Intense prayer, that leads to amazing boldness and a strengthening of their proclamation of Jesus - which also includes the audacious claim that Jesus is the single ONLY way to be saved.

- True Ministers of Jesus vs. Charlatans - How To Tell the Difference. #25
Today we read Acts 3 and consider the behavior of Peter and John after a man is miraculously healed. They deflect attention from themselves and send it towards Jesus, proclaiming the good news. How can we tell the difference between genuine ministers of Jesus and fakes?
