Jesus makes the claim to be fully God which enraged His opponents. Jesus goes on to say I can set you free and give you eternal life. You either crown Jesus as the true King or you kill Him.

So often we can complicate church, but in Acts 11 we see how God used and blessed the Antioch church because they kept the main thing the main thing.

The best way to understand Jesus, is to know who he considers himself to be. In a heated exchange with some Jews, Jesus took the title reserved for God, and applied it to himself. His words about identity may cause us offense, but are life-giving truth.

Paul and Barnabas’ time in Lystra shows us that we are all broken worshippers – but that there is hope for us in the Living God.

Living lives obedient to the Holy Spirit may mean stepping out of our comfort zones.

Following Jesus will lead to going and staying to make disciples and this will inevitably lead to hardship.

On Father’s Day, we look at the amazing father heart of God as he helps his two sons, and all of us, who are lost and need to be found.

Acts 13 contains an important moment in church history where God’s people begin to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. This responsibility continues to rest with the church, empowered by the Holy Spirit and sent out to proclaim the word of the Lord.

When Herod Agrippa executes James he then seizes Peter for the same purpose. But God miraculously rescues Peter from Herod’s prison. But why rescue Peter and not James?

In Acts 12, things take a turn in the wrong direction – James the disciple dies and Peter’s imprisoned. Yet we learn God remains sovereign over all circumstances, prayer and fellowship are our greatest resources, and His kingdom ultimately triumphs.
