The First Followers of Jesus witnessed amazing signs and wonders as the Gospel spread and changed lives, including a unique account with a couple named Ananias and Sapphira. In this passage, the first enemy of early church was internal and, in this particular case, lethal: Hypocrisy.

The First Followers of Jesus were so compelled by God's generosity to them in Jesus Christ that their own concept of generosity was transformed.

Even after Jesus ascended, the power of His Name and the Good News of His work continued to transform lives through His followers; and by walking in His footsteps a movement began that carries on to this day.

While most of our experience with family and the church is far from perfect, the first followers of Jesus embraced a radical loyalty to Him that gave them not only a new life and relationship to God but also a new relationship to those around them.

During the celebration of Pentecost, the Spirit of God allows people from different nationalities to miraculously hear the amazing works of God in their own language. Then the Apostle Peter shares what seems to be the first public sermon recorded by the first followers of Jesus.

Jesus entrusts his followers not with secret knowledge of the future but with a message that is too great to keep a secret.

Two travelers' encounter with Jesus encourages us in our difficulty to believe that Jesus is really alive and invites us to follow their example as they see Jesus for who He really is.
