After the resurrection, Jesus clearly communicated to the apostles that they shall be witnesses unto me reaching to the ends of the earth. As we’ve been learning from Pastor Brett Meador’s verse by verse teaching of Acts Chapter1, the power to fuel their mission, and ours, comes from the Holy Spirit’s enablement. Let’s join him now with more from Today’s Word.

In the book of Acts Chapter 1, Jesus gave a clear calling to His disciples “You shall be My witnesses.” Pastor Brett Meador reminds us from Today’s Word the request isn’t reserved for a few, but for all who follow Him. But He hasn’t left us to do this on our own. It’s the empowerment of the Holy Spirit that enables all Christ-followers to be an effective witness for Him.

The Book of Acts begins by recounting the events following Jesus' resurrection, His ascension, and the actions of the disciples afterward. In Today’s Word Pastor Brett Meador begins to explore how Jesus' promise of the Holy Spirit sets the course for the book, relating how Jesus' ascension helps us understand the rapture, end times events, and His Second Coming.

Opening Today’s Word, Pastor Brett Meador continues exploring Luke's initial prologue that begins Acts Chapter 1 including an enlightening overview of what to look forward to in our study of the book. In highlighting the incredible history of how Christianity took root and spread across the world, we’ll be gaining a good understanding of God's model for the church today.

The birth and growth of the early church through the power of the Holy Spirit is dutifully documented for us in the Book of Acts by the apostle Luke. Pastor Brett Meador opens Today’s Word for an introductory overview highlighting God’s unstoppable worldwide mission, reminding believers that the same Spirit empowers the faithful even today for spreading the good news.

Malachi brings the Old Testament to a powerful conclusion underscoring the justice of God. As Pastor Brett Meador delivers the final study and the last of our series on the prophets, he reflects on the call to believers to live faithfully, trusting that mercy will ultimately prevail and righteousness will reign - looking forward to the return of the Lord, in Today’s Word.

Malachi Chapters 2 through 4 sadly depict the children of Israel not fully serving the Lord as they ought. However, there is hope for them – and for us Pastor Brett Meador assures – as we cross the bridge from the curse of sin and the law to the beauty of God’s forgiveness and grace through Jesus Christ, as we humbly apply Today’s Word.

The message of the prophet Malachi to the unfaithful priesthood of the day was to expose how they profaned the holiness of the Lord. God’s call to believers then, and now, is to revere the Lord, know His word, pursue Godly character walking in peace and equity, preserving and promoting God’s word. Pastor Brett Meador shares the ever-timely truths in Today’s Word.

When Jesus said, Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you” He was promising to meet our needs if we put Him first. Yet many of us have short changed ourselves by neglecting God in various ways, including with our finances. And that’s the challenge Pastor Brett Meador draws for us from our study in Malachi on Today’s Word.
