Every decision is a step. Every step takes me in a direction. Every direction leads to a destination. Our future is hidden in our decisions. Pondering your decisions can lead to wisdom. 

In this sermon Tony takes us to see how God was saving many people in Antioch which spurred the apostles to send Barnabas to Antioch. Barnabas was the right choice and what a man he was. Tony paints a picture of this man and you will not be able to resist the desire to have a Barnabas in your life, but can you be one?

In this sermon Tony wraps up the story of Peter and Cornelius. It is such a powerful story to watch God open the doors of salvation to the nations and to also watch Him change Peter's heart toward the Gentiles. 

We begin to look at this monumental story about Peter and Cornelius. Tony wants us to see it as a play, a play divided into 5 scenes. In this sermon we only get through the first two scenes, but see God preparing both Cornelius and Peter for something huge He is about to do. 

Here are two stories of Peter doing miracles that Luke positions together. But there is much more here than a paralyzed man being healed and a woman being raised from the dead. In these stories we actually find what it means to live the Christian life.

Luke likes to pause throughout the book of Acts to give these summary statements about the church, to share the condition of the church at that time. Tony sees five marks of a healthy church in this verse and wants us to see them - see them not just for the church corporate but for our own individual spiritual walks with Jesus.

God had transformed Saul, but most of HIs people didn't believe it. At the start of Saul's new life in Christ, he faced doubters and had a hit put out on his life. Yet one man, Barnabas, stood by him. 

Saul's conversion story has many dramatic details that are unique to his story. But when we look behind his story we find very normative, important things that are common for all who are converted to Christ. 

In this sermon Tony takes us deeper into the story of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. There are amazing realities about ourselves and Jesus that we can learn in this story. 

In this sermon Tony leads us to begin thinking about the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. It is arguably the most dramatic and most important conversion in the history of the church. However, the story is really about the grace, love, power, and wisdom of God.
