In our continued look at Stephen's words to the council, we see how he uses the story of Moses to demonstrate the continued unbelief of the Jewish nation in their history...and what that meant for them in their own day. It was a message that by no means was meant to be affirming!

Aside from the fact that Stephen was the first Christian martyr in history, we don't know much about this tremendous character is Scripture, other than what is said about him in Acts 6 ad 7. In this episode, we will talk about how God used a plain, ordinary guy like Stephen in a very powerful way. You will see that you do not need to have impressive credentials in order for God to use you magnificently for His glory.

Can internal issues of a church distract it from its primary mission? Yes, and the early church faced this potential problem. But in Acts 6, we see how the apostles wisely and masterfully solved their problem at hand while at the same time leaving the door open for the word to continue to spread. This episode is especially relevant to pastors and church leaders today!

How did the apostles handle this second wave of persecution against them, and what can we learn from this? As we finish up our study of Acts 5, you'll be amazed at the attitudes of God's people after they were physically abused by their persecutors.

While the early church in Jerusalem continued in its vibrancy, the apostles once again find themselves in a bind with the council. Learn how they maintain a spirit of obedience against the grain of increasing persecution, and what that says to us today.

As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, we consider how Jesus demonstrated true Christmas spirit...and it's in a story that we normally don't associate with the holiday. What did Jesus do, and why was it so amazing? We talk about it in this episode.

The story of Ananias and Sapphira has troubled many Christians. Even though we know that all God does is good and just, His dealings with these two believers in Acts 5 appears, to many, a tad bit harsh. But how exactly should we view this text? In this episode, we wrestle with the issue of God's judgment, His view on sin, and what kind of effect dealing with sin has on the church.

In part 2 of our discussion on Lot, we continue to see how the conclusions about Lot are not things that can be drawn from the text of Scripture. Additionally, I attempt to save Lot's reputation by pointing out what the Bible does say about him in the New Testament, and how that can positively speak to us today.
