All critics are not created equal. We need to discern which ones to listen to and which ones to ignore. Peter’s response to his critics in Acts 11 teaches us a lot about how to handle criticism … and in an age of critics we need this biblical wisdom!

In Acts 10, God gives Peter a vision that helps him to see the Gospel is for everyone … Jew and Gentile alike. In our journey of faith, we need to ensure that we are reaching out to everyone, because God’s love will transform anyone who accepts Him.

An exploration of Saul’s encounter with the Lord in Acts 9 and the aftermath of his conversion.

Severe persecution caused believers in the early church to scatter, but they stayed focused on sharing the Gospel as they went. Gathering is important, but like them we must also be scattered, sharing and showing the love of Jesus with others as we go.

The execution of Stephen gives us important truths about the dangers of resisting the Holy Spirit and the power of God to transform a person.

The church is not a group of perfect people. We are going to encounter problems. God calls us to seek Him for solutions and remember that He is always at work.

The apostles demonstrated commitment and dedication to Jesus and his church, even in the face of strong opposition. Are we following the example they set?

Three Israelite men demonstrated great faith as they trusted God before being thrown into a fiery furnace. He saved them that day, just as He saves all who put their faith in His Son, Jesus. As BJ Ellis shares, this is the only way to truly become “fireproof.”

There is power in the name of the Jesus. In Acts 3-4, we find out just how much power … the power to heal, the power to save. We must continue to stand fast on the truth that there is no other name by which people can be saved.

Are we living in such a way that cannot be explained? Are we praying for and seeking opportunities to share the Gospel? The launch of the New Testament church in Acts 2 leads us to ask these questions, and more.
