Groans inwardly. Groans outwardly. Groans because the topic of predestination is being discussed.

Abraham was as good as dead, but was alive...

Everyone is dead in Adam, but can be made alive in Christ…

But in order to be made alive you must actually be dead.

You are not a good person.

Kangaroo courts, death threats, ship wrecks, and snake tamers. The life of the Christian is pretty darn exciting.

Close friends go their own way, Paul wrecks pagan wisdom in Athens, and we see the deadly nature of long-winded pastors.

Is his name Saul? Or is it Paul? Either way, the guy gets elected by God and kicked off a horse.

God smites down people who don’t tithe with their whole heart, apparently pastors don’t like setting up chairs on Sunday morning, and the apostles set a dangerous precedent for disobeying government mandates.

Guts spilled out, the Holy Spirit spilled out, all so that the Church would be spilled out into the world. All this and more in the book of Acts.

Sorrow turned into joy. Betrayal turned into faithfulness. Death turned into life…and then the apostles have their biggest fishing day on record.

Lazarus lives. Lazarus dies. Lazarus lives again and then the Jews try to kill him. Then Jesus washes some feet.
