Good Morning You Who Put God First!  Have a look at Acts 20.Paul lives daily acknowledging that this day could be his last day.  Things are heating up!  Everywhere he goes there is plotting against him by those who reject the Truth of Jesus and the message of grace and repentance.  As he meets with the Elders of Ephesus he says his goodbyes and leaves them with encouragement.  He makes it clear, h...  Read More

Good Morning Spirit Filled Disciples.  Today we look at Acts 19.  “While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?” “John’s baptism...  Read More

Good Morning Courageous Servants.  Check out Acts 18 today.  Everywhere the Disciples go they are met with some opposition.  Why is it that when someone is on the wrong track they are so violently opposed to The Truth?  My theory: We know Truth convicts, and conviction stinks.  Conviction feels like intense guilt, but it’s even more.  Conviction prompts us to repent, but if going the other way mea...  Read More

Good Morning Fact Checkers!  Dig into Acts 17.Have you ever played 2 truths and a lie?  How do you determine which is the lie?  Now, stop and considered your current process for determining what’s true.  Any truth.  Is there absolute truth anymore?  The answer to that question is very simple.  What is 1+1?  Always?  We live in a world that is currently trying to say no - there is no longer absolut...  Read More

Good Morning “Worshipers in the Storm”.  Check out Acts 16 today.  I don’t know about you, but I find it easy to worship and praise God when things are going good.  My faith is tested and I really have to press in and remember His promises when they aren’t.  Even though some of our culture denies God, He’s typically the first to get cursed when things go bad.  Do we do that to?  Maybe we don’t cur...  Read More

Good Morning Gospel Beneficiaries.  Dig into Acts 15 today.  Sometimes the old ways are best.  Sometimes, depending on the purpose for the “old ways” they are not!  The Law, and Sacrificial system given to Israel (the Jewish nation) had a couple purposes.- Define sin:  These are the rules- Incite sin:  Any time we’re told not to do something, inherently we want to.  Don’t think about elephants… wh...  Read More

Good Morning Footstep Followers.  Check out Acts 14.  Paul and Barnabas continue spreading the Truth of Jesus - urging everyone they see to repent and turn to God.  The Jews in turn continue to spread lies and turn the crowds against them.  Jews and Gentiles alike plot to harm these guys - to stone them.  Often they find out about it and head on to the next town.  This time however they didn’t.“Th...  Read More

Good Morning Fearless, Faithful, Followers.  Dig into Acts 13 and catch their passion.  Saul who once was one of the persecutors, seemingly leading the charge, one of the most unlikely to be chosen to serve - was to be minister to the Gentiles.  Now together with Barnabas they are officially commissioned in the POWER of The Holy Spirit.  It was happening, just as God told Ananias in Acts 9:15, whe...  Read More

Good Morning Cross Cultural Ministers of the Gospel.  Today we’re in Acts 11 - join us.They’re getting after it.  The Disciples continue to share the Good News of Jesus.  Those they share with are sharing, and in turn they are sharing also!  It’s multiplication.  For example say 1 shared with just 10.  Then that 10 shares with 10 each, so - 100.  That 100 goes out and shares with 10 each… so 1000....  Read More
