Loving the Scriptures

The healing of the lame beggar at the temple was certainly an attention-grabber, both in positive and negative ways. Learn how God used this miracle as a springboard for Peter to preach the gospel again to his Jewish brothers, and how such an occasion was the beginning point of trouble for the church.

We continue our discussion on honoring pastors. Specifically, we talk about honoring our pastors by letting them pastor in the way Scripture requires them to pastor, as opposed to loading them down with duties that they should not be responsible for. We will explore a few examples of how some of our expectations for pastors go beyond what Scripture says, and how that can make his job harder than it needs to be.

The Day of Pentecost was one of the most momentous days in the history of Christianity. It served as the beginning of a whole new powerful movement as the Holy Spirit would begin to use ordinary men and women to reach the world for Christ. This episode, we will explore the "prelude" of Peter's famous Pentecost sermon, as he begins to explain to the flabbergasted onlookers in Jerusalem what it is they are witnessing in the powerful display of God in that event.

Before Jesus' ascension, His disciples ask Him a very important question: "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus answers by saying that the kingdom must first expand, but it is a map for kingdom expansion that the disciples, on their own, never would have though possible. Why? We find out in this episode.

We begin a study of the book of Acts by exploring its background and its purpose. In looking at the opening verses, we will see how Acts can be considered a continuation of the ministry of Christ after He left this earth, and how He uses ordinary people for that purpose.
