Acts 24:1-9
We as Christians live our faith in the world. Do we leave it at the church door on Sundays? How are we perceived in our daily lives in our communities? Does our faith show in all we do?

Acts 10:13-38
Being an apostle in the early days of the Christian church was a dangerous profession. In preaching the good news about Jesus, many of the apostles were mocked, beaten, jailed, and killed.

Acts 13:4-13
Our main focus today is the pro-counsel’s advisor or wizard who wanted to prevent Barnabas and Saul from sharing with Paulus. Interesting that Saul calls on the Holy Spirit to invoke blindness on the wizard just as he had been blinded at his conversion earlier. Nothing to miss here. Paulus was converted and full of enthusiasm for the Word.

Acts 10:1-23a
I am watching and listening for the Spirit. I am willing to respond to the Spirit’s call. I hope you will join me in watching for and listening for the Spirit to guide us as a church. May we be so courageous to go where the Spirit leads and do what the Spirit calls us to do.

Acts 9:1-22
God didn’t, hasn’t, doesn’t, won’t take “no” for an answer. When God calls, God already knows our objections, our feelings of inadequacy, our prone-ness to disobedience, our fears. God tolerates our objections, already knowing we have them, and the call remains. God doesn’t give up so easily!

Acts 6:1-7
Have you ever noticed how quickly, when we’re displeased or dissatisfied, we seem to need to blame or scapegoat someone? Rather than simply expressing our concerns, we look for someone to accuse.

Acts 5:27-42
Peter and the apostles were defiantly bold when challenged by the Pharisee council. In spite of verbal abuse and physical floggings, they moved forward with constancy, sharing the news of God’s grace through the life example of Jesus. How can we, as followers of Christ, possibly measure up to this?
