The Most Important Thing
(Acts 13:36-43) There are a lot of really good scriptures in the Bible…well ALL of them are actually! But, every now and then you come across something so profound, yet so simple, that it will just blow your mind. These few scriptures are one of those sections. These few words include a statement that is…

Purpose
(Acts 13:28-36) As I read these verses the last verse in the section seems to stand out. Although I have read these words many times, one word stood out and got me thinking. Verse 36 says, For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid…

Christian Giving
(Acts 11:27-30) Throughout the development of the early Christian church the needs of the church were met by the giving of money or other things by the members of the church. All of the needs of those who had little or nothing were met by sharing from those who had an abundance. We see discussions…

Convincing The Church
(Acts 11:1-18) These were the early days of the Christian church and they were going through great periods of growth and change. Any time there is such a fluid process of change there are bound to be situations arise where questions are asked and people need to be convinced of some matter or other. It…
