Acts 6:8-15 Bible study.

Stephen preached with grace and power. He was bold, but gracious. Do these qualities contradict? How can we have both of them? Stephen was filled with the Spirit and his face literally shone.

Let's dive in to the text and learn how we can have power and grace in the right mix for every situation.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Bible study.

Did you ever receive a phone call from a thief who tells you he is coming to rob you at a specific time? I doubt it. This passage says that Jesus is coming back like a thief in the night. He will not announce it ahead or give a two minute warning.

Are you ready?

19,000 Churches destroyed. 17 Christians killed a day. Thousands of Christians killed. The Muslim Jihad in Nigeria is wiping out churches and Christians. This is a call to action to stand with our brothers and sisters in Nigeria.

Letter to Congress and senate:

Subject: Please Support H. Res. 220 and S. 2747 to Defend Persecuted Christians in Nigeria

Dear [Congressman/Senator] [Last Name],

I am writing to urge you to take immediate action on behalf of persecuted Christians in Nigeria, who are enduring one of the worst humanitarian and religious freedom crises in the world today.

Thousands of Christians have been slaughtered, kidnapped, raped, and displaced by radical Islamist terrorists. Entire villages are being wiped out while the Nigerian government turns a blind eye—or, in some cases, is complicit in these atrocities. The United States must not remain silent in the face of such evil.

I strongly urge you to:

Support and co-sponsor H. Res. 220, introduced by Congressman Chris Smith, which calls on the U.S. Department of State to re-designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) for its severe violations of religious freedom.

Support and co-sponsor S. 2747, Senator Ted Cruz’s Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, which would impose targeted sanctions on Nigerian government officials who enable or ignore persecution and human rights abuses.

Designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern and enforcing targeted sanctions are critical first steps in holding the Nigerian government accountable and protecting vulnerable Christian communities. These measures will help ensure that U.S. foreign policy truly reflects our nation’s commitment to religious liberty, justice, and human dignity.

Please stand with the persecuted, and let your voice be one of moral leadership and courage in defense of the innocent.

Thank you for your time, compassion, and commitment to defending freedom and human rights.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[City, State]

Acts 6 Bible study.

The apostles were busy preaching, teaching, and doing signs and wonders. But they couldn't do everything themselves. In this Bible study on Acts 6:1-7 we will see how the church chose new leaders. We will also look at the importance of team and every individual believer's role in building the church.

Today we continue our Bible study of Acts in 6:1-6. In it, we consider how to respond to pressure to be quiet and stop talking about Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Bible study.

They have been at it again. Date setters are trying to predict when the rapture will be. As normal, they are wrong. Their false prophecies are misleading people and opening the church up to mockers. 

What does the Bible actually say about the rapture and how does it impact our lives today? Find out in this exciting look at the end times.

What would you do if you were commanded to stop talking about Jesus? Peter stood before powerful leaders who told him plain out, stop. His answer was powerful and can transform our lives today.

Our goal, as always, is to not only study the Bible but consider how to obey it. When we do, our lives will be changed.

Today we continue our Bible study of Acts in 5:27-42. In it, we consider how to respond to pressure to be quiet and stop talking about Jesus.

Imagine walking through your city streets and seeing people healed just by the shadow of Peter! In Acts 5, they experienced this. Signs and wonders were everywhere. Lives were changing. God’s power was evident. All of this gave the apostles credibility. But how did the authorities react ? 

Today we are going to study Acts 5:12-26. This amazing passage has a lot going on. Miracles, imprisonment. Iron clad courage. I believe it will encourage and challenge you.

1 Thessalonians 4 Bible study.

God calls us to walk in holiness and purity. This Bible passage is a strong call to live differently than the world around us. What God intended for good, Satan and the world want to twist for evil.

You are not alone. God gives the help needed to have victory over this temptation.

Acts 5:1-11 Bible study on Ananias and Sapphira.

Everything seemed to be going well. Miracles. Signs. People being healed. Thousands being saved. The church growing. Then came this sad story. Sin within the church. Judgment. Warning.

In this passage we see God's holiness and are reminded not to take mercy for granted. We see that the God of the Old Testament is the same as the God of the New Testament. Why did God judge them so strictly and what lessons can we learn? Let's open the Word and see.
