They tried to stop Christianity by force. Arrests, threats, murder. Steven was killed. Believers were hunted down. The message was supposed to die. Believers were supposed to cower. But instead of stopping the movement, the gospel spread. Those who were scattered did not stop preaching. 

They took it with them to new areas, cities, regions, entire cultures started hearing about Jesus for the very first time. Every attempt to crush the church, not only in the book of Acts, but throughout history, has only made it grow faster.

Why does persecution always backfire? And what does that mean for us today?

We'll be looking at those questions as we study Acts 11:19-30.

Why do people lie? You might be willing to die for the truth, but you probably wouldn't be willing to die for a lie. Yet the apostles did die for their belief in a resurrected Jesus.

Let's consider what that means for our faith today.

We'll be looking at those questions as we study Acts 12:1-5.

The church was growing, disciples were multiplying, and the gospel was going out. Everything seemed to be going great for the early New Testament church, but a dangerous false teaching was starting to infiltrate. A teaching that still can derail Christians even today, millennia later. The question is, is faith in Jesus enough to save you, or is something else required? That's the
question that Peter gracefully answers in this passage, and that's what we'll be looking at. We're studying Acts 11.

People judge by color, class, and status. But God shows no partiality. His family is open to all comers. The church should have no racial barriers. God does not have a skin color. He does not play favorites. And it's time we get on board. Today, we will learn from Acts 10 how the church was open to all comers, even people who had been discriminated against for centuries.

As we celebrate Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, let's spend some time and reflect on the importance and implications of Jesus' last words.

Acts 10:1-23 Bible study

What happens if a person is on a deserted island and never has an opportunity to hear the gospel? Can that person be saved?

In today's passage, we see that God does not ignore people who are sincerely seeking Him as the gospel goes to the Gentiles in this amazing divine appointment.

Imagine spending eight years paralyzed in bed, not able to walk. Then someone walks in and says simply, "Rise." How would you respond? Would you even try?

Today we look at the importance of taking bold steps of faith as we follow Jesus.
