As Paul describes his work and conduct in Thessalonica, we get to see what constitutes genuine Christian ministry. Establishing this picture will help us because we sometimes get a bit mixed up about what genuine ministry is and what it is not. Listen in.

This letter to the Thessalonians is one of deep encouragement. Specifically here in chapter 1, there are two weighty encouragements for Christians. Listen in.

The fact that there are so many needs around us mustn’t stop us from recognising (and addressing) the greatest need of people everywhere. Here in Acts 6, Luke describes the priority.

Two names here in Acts 5 are now synonymous with deceit. Reading these names must stop us all in our Blackrock tracks to think about the difference between devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ and the opposite: some sort of deceitful pretence.

Acts 4 demonstrates that whenever Christians speak openly about Jesus, they will face significant opposition. The question is this: how will they respond?

Biblical Christianity is about what God has done and only then does it call us to respond. The gospel is not a to-do list. It is like getting the best message through the door of your life that you’ve ever received. Peter explained to the people gathered around him in Acts 3 what their response should be.

If you have come to faith in Jesus Christ, you have a mission. You are called to be one of Christ's Ambassadors. What does this mean?

There is an extraordinary sense of commencement as Peter stands up before the crowd in Acts 2. Peter courageously and comprehensively tells the crowd that this is a new epoch and it is all about Jesus Christ. Listen in.

This part of the Bible is like an instruction over the speakers of your life. It is urging you to consider something very important that needs to be crosschecked.

Acts 2 describes a day in Jerusalem when everything changed. The coming of the Holy Spirit had meant the equipping of Jesus' followers in their commission to take the Gospel to the world. Listen in.
