Few Christians today talk about their hope of eternal life by Jesus's resurrection. Throughout Acts, apostles and evangelists have spread the gospel of hope. In this study, Paul stood to defend himself before the Roman governor of Judea from the accusations of Jerusalem's high priest. Paul revealed that he was on trial for his hope in the resurrection that the sect of the Sadducees rejected. Paul's courage to evangelize to the end stands as an example to all Christians.

"Maintain the traditions just as I have delivered them to you" wrote the apostle Paul. The assembling of a church is not only for worship but for edification --- to build up one another in teaching. This message is a biblical review of the principles that organize the assembly of Christians. The focus of edification is to teach and worship with meaning specifically with intelligible words so that both the Spirit and the mind are engaged.

Through the Book of Acts in the Bible, evangelists proclaimed the gospel of Jesus mostly to those were already devout believers of God who accepted the Jewish Scriptures. In Acts 18, a woman and her husband pull aside an eloquent speaker who teaches about Jesus accurately but his teaching about baptism is not accurate. Furthermore, another preacher will teach twelve men about another baptism than what they received. This message is relevant to those considering their baptism in comparison to the baptism that Jesus commanded to become a disciple of Christ.

This message draws from the love chapter as Paul counters the lack of love that divides and hurts the church.

Many place rules, laws, and judgments on others. In Acts 15, some were trying to place the burdens of the Law of Moses on new converts. However, salvation is by grace in Jesus Christ and not Moses's Law. This message draws from the speeches of a church council in Acts 15 to help Christians understand what Christians must obey today.

The gift of various kinds of tongues was not for every Christian. God gave supernatural gifts by the Holy Spirit for the common good of the church. Spiritual gifts all came from the same God for unity. These points and others are essential for Christians to have a biblical view of gifts from the Spirit.

After persecution scattered Christians, Philip went out proclaiming the gospel so that many men and women were baptized. The Holy Spirit sent Philip to preach to an Ethiopian official traveling in his chariot reading from the scriptures of Isaiah. This account teaches Christians how to preach Jesus from the prophecies of the Christ in the Book of Isaiah and that devout believers of God need to hear about Jesus to be saved.

The apostles preached Jesus's resurrection for the coming resurrection on the last day. Jesus's resurrection is His conquest over death bringing eternal life to the faith. Jesus's resurrection is essential to all Christian beliefs and teachings. Christ rising from the dead unites the faithful in the church. This message draws every point from the Bible.

This message recognizes the confusion of the world and its inability to know God by the world's wisdom. Only by God's wisdom in preaching the gospel can humanity understand God and the need for Christ's crucifixion. The crucifixion of Jesus in Luke 23 reveals the perspectives of unbelief and belief that Jesus is the Messiah. By the cross, believers realize and reconcile the love and just wrath of God.

Paul taught the church to maintain the traditions just as delivered, and then he taught that God is the head of Christ, Christ is the head of man, and man is the head of woman. This message addresses this statement's basis in God creating man distinctively from woman. Furthermore, the text applies this practice to men uncovering and women covering their heads in teaching and prayer.
