Today, Ron takes us once again to the shocking story of Ananias and Sapphira. It’s a sobering look at the way God may sometimes deal with disobedience, and it comes your way next, as Ron continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.” 

It’s one of the most shocking stories in the entire New Testament, and it comes your way next, on today’s edition of Something Good. Things seemed to be going quite well for the early church. People were being saved, the body of Christ had a strong community life, and then the unthinkable happened. Ron has the full story straight ahead, as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.” 

Are you reluctant to share your faith in Christ? Maybe even a little frightened? Well, it’s natural to be a little uneasy about sharing your faith. But God wants to give you something supernatural, the power to go from fearful to fearless, bashful to bold. Today, Ron gives you three steps to doing just that, as he continues his series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.” 

If I asked you to name the single greatest threat to the Christian faith, what would you say? You don’t need to answer just yet. Instead, think about it for the next few minutes as Ron shares more of his teaching series, “A.D. Acts of the Apostles.” 

How can you know that Jesus is who He claims to be? There is an answer to that question, and Ron shares it with you today as he continues his series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”  

A sign and a sermon, on this Wednesday edition of Something Good. Well, the book of Acts is in many ways a book of firsts. In Acts chapter two we see the outpouring of the Holy Spirit for the first time, followed by the first sermon of the church age. Today, Ron takes us to Acts chapter three, and to the first miracle ever performed by an Apostle of Jesus Christ.  

Acts chapter two says this about the first Christian church, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer. And many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles." Today, Ron returns to the book of Acts to give us a glimpse into the life of the early church, and to encourage us to uphold the original tenets upon which it was founded. 

Acts chapter two is one of the most exciting passages in all of Scripture. The supernatural birth of the church. The first sermon ever preached in the church age, in which three thousand people came to faith in Christ. And then there’s a brief passage that explains what we now know as the five purposes of the church. That’s where Ron is headed today as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.” 

Consider the words of Peter in Acts chapter two. "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christs for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Peter’s message was the first sermon of the church age. Simple, direct, straight to the point of what it takes to receive salvation. Today, Ron takes us to this sermon … to this Day of Pentecost, as he continues his series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans ten, seventeen. Earlier in Romans fourteen, the Apostle Paul said, “how will they hear without a preacher?” The spread of the Gospel has always depended, at least in part, on people sharing that truth with the world. Today, Ron takes us back to the day it all began. It’s a sermon about a sermon, and it starts right now.
