Acts 15:6-12

Some of the Jews were trying to claim that Gentiles had to be saved the same way they were. Peter argues that, actually, the Jews will only be saved the same was as the Gentiles--by grace through faith. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Acts 15:1-6

Many people declare the meeting in Jerusalem to discuss circumcision in Acts 15 the first church council. Some even add in that they wrote a creedal statement. However, that is not what is happening at all.

Acts 14:24-28

Pay attention to Paul's report when he gets back to Syrian Antioch. After so many dreadful, awful, terrible things happened to Barnabas and him on the missionary journey, he gives this amazing report about all of God's miracles and all the Gentiles who responded. Perspective really does matter if we are going to keep on preaching the Word.

Acts 14:19-23

In every city, the level of persecution gets higher, stronger, more painful. Until finally, Paul is actually stoned. What do they keep on doing? They keep on preaching. What conviction! What commitment!

Acts 14:8-18

When Paul heals a lame man, the Lystrans decide he and Barnabas are gods. What a great opportunity for them to get a following if they were just making all of this up. But that isn't what they did. They did everything they could to get the Lystrans to realize there were just men, but there is a true God in heaven who wants to save them through Jesus.

Acts 14:8-18

Luke is going out of his way to show that Paul is not going rogue. He is as much of an apostle as Peter. Edwin and Andrew discuss this from Paul's sermon in Acts 14.

Acts 14:1-3

Barnabas and Paul were getting persecuted. The opponents were poisoning the minds of the audiences (and disciples) against them. What did they do? Did they pack up and run away? No. They decided that was the perfect time to stick around. Wow!

Acts 13:40-52

Jesus was not merely the Savior of the Jews. He came to be a light to the Gentiles. And that is awesome because Andrew and Edwin are Gentiles. Salvation is for all. Praise the Lord!

Acts 13:26-39

While most of the New Testament and most of us today view the message of salvation as the crucifixion and atoning death of Jesus, Luke has a different perspective. Sure, he knows about the death and its atoning nature. But his main focus is on the resurrection. It is the resurrection that proves the death was anything more than just another man dying.

Acts 13: 20-26

Paul makes a subtle argument in his preaching. He explains how God gave Saul to be king, but then removed him and replaced him with David. This sets the stage for God removing the Law and replacing with the gospel, removing Moses and replacing him with Jesus.
