Nothing But The Truth
(Acts 24:10-21) Paul had been imprisoned and dragged before governors and tribunals to defend himself against a rash of trumped up charges from the Jewish leaders of his time.

The Lords Protection
(Acts 23:12-35) There are many people who can and do bear testimony to the protection they have received from The Lord. I know His protection first hand and how The Lord protected both my wife, myself and my children from death. If you are interested in my testimony relating to this you can

Enlightened by the Holy Spirit
(Acts 23:1-11) Here we see that the Roman authorities had been puzzled as to the negative and violent reaction of the Jews against Paul on his return to Jerusalem.

Most of the time this will be spiritual attack through people, but sometimes…

All Things To All People
(Acts 21:15-26) The process of evangelism and bringing people to The Lord is an intersesting one. This section of Acts 21 is not about evangelism, but it does show an aspect of it, and more importantly how we should live, act and behave amongst others who do not believe as we do. There is a…

Pathways of The Lord
(Acts 21:1-14) There is a proverb in Proverbs 16:9 which says, The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps. In this section of Acts we see how this proverb worked out in the life of Paul. Paul planned to go to Jerusalem in spite of the fact that at every…

A Merciful God
(Acts 20:1-12) There are many non-Christians who would like to paint God as being harsh, vindictive and one who metes out punishment for the smallest thing.

The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil
(Acts 19:23-41) Too often we hear it said that money is the root of all evil, but this is not what the Bible tells us. When Paul wrote to Timothy it was quitter clear that he said in 1 Timothy 6:10 that it is “The love of money” that is the issue. Money in and…
