By teaching us to love our enemies, Jesus seems to take the idea of loving our neighbor a bit far. However, He doesn't stop there. He even says that if someone (presumably a Roman soldier) asks you to go one mile (the bare minimum a Roman solider could conscript you for), to go two. We all have difficult people in our lives. The question is: how do we, as followers of Jesus, live out this teaching and why is it so important to Jesus that we get this?

Nearly everyone knows that the Bible teaches that we should love and treat our neighbors the way we would want to be treated. Neighbor is generally defined as one someone who lives next to or near you. When an expert on the Mosaic law asks Jesus to clarify what exactly determines if one is a neighbor or not, he gets a bit more than he bargained for. Jesus answers with a parable that reveals the heart of God and how we can be a part of bringing heaven to earth.

In spite of the miracles, signs, and wonders, we learn from Acts 5 that some in Jerusalem are afraid to join the church. Why do we fear others’ disapproval so much? We all experience this fear, and most of us don’t want to admit how serious its tyranny can be. Join North Chapel Bible Church as Dr. Bobby Brewer explores this topic in episode 18 of the "Acts: We're on a Mission From God" series.

Acts 4:27 - 5:11 presents us with two very different groups within one church. Due to its infancy, God takes drastic measures to protect the DNA of the newly born church. Within these passages, we also see an example of what we should strive for as we represent Jesus to our community and the world.

We all submit to someone in life, whether it is a boss, family or someone else. Guest Speaker, Dr. Joshua Anderson of Phoenix Seminary, asks the question, "Who is Your Ultimate Authority?" in episode 16 of the 'Acts: We're on a Mission from God' series.

Nothing is more politically incorrect than saying that Jesus is the only way to heaven. In Acts 4, the newly birthed church encounters both political and religious push-back from the elite with the goal of silencing the Gospel. The same is the case today. Political correctness seeks to silence the Gospel, yet we've been commissioned to carry on the ministry and message of Jesus. How do we do this in a climate that seems to be increasingly focused on silencing the good news? | Episode 15 from the "Acts: We're on a Mission from God" series.

The healing of the lame beggar at the "Beautiful Gate" had captured everyone's attention, including the same group that condemned Jesus. In Acts 4 the church faces it's first opposition-religion. Surprisingly, even today the gospel faces opposition from those who call themselves "progressive" Christians.—Join us as North Chapel Bible Church's lead pastor, Dr. Bobby Brewer, explores this topic in Part 14 of the series, "Acts: We're on a Mission from God".

In Acts 3:21, Peter makes reference to "the restoration of all things" which refers to God's plan to restore all things to the way they were in Eden before sin affected everything.—And we have a role to play.—Join us as North Chapel Bible Church's lead pastor, Dr. Bobby Brewer, explores this topic in Part 13 of the series, "Acts: We're on a Mission from God".

There is only one name that has the Power to accomplish all things, and that name is Jesus. Join us as North Chapel Bible Church's lead pastor, Dr. Bobby Brewer, dives deep into this topic in Part 12 of the series, "Acts: We're on a Mission from God". (While the title is the same as Episode 7's, the message is completely different.)

The Gospels and the Book of Acts show that people experienced inexplicable miraculous healings. Why is it that God seems to heal some people and not others? Join us as North Chapel Bible Church's lead pastor, Dr. Bobby Brewer, shares in-depth about this topic in a new and refreshing way.
