    With times and opinions changing as fast as they are today, i feel this would be a good time to remind ourselves what the biblical discription of a christian is. We will do this by examining the lifestyle and beliefs of the people first called Christians

    What is a Christian? Acts 11:19-26 (NIV) 19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, telling the message only to Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak ...read more

    I Lay Me Down To Sleep Acts 12:6 Sleeping at the wheel is a good way to keep from growing old. The amount of sleep required by the average person is about five minutes more. Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone. People who say they sleep like a baby usually don’t ...read more

     | 3,496 views

    Acts 12 is a scenario filled with murders – arrests – jail breaks – miracles – humor – and judgment. The chapter reveals that God is in charge not kings or presidents of nations. The text reveals that God responds to prayer and God judges sin.

    Crisis had hit the church. This Gentile thing was getting out of control. Soon the church would be swarming with these "foreigners." What should we do?

    In our country, we are encouraged by some to put our trust in politicians who we expect to bring about great change and increased godliness. But this passage gives us fair warning about doing just that.

    Passage: Acts 12:19b-25 Intro: It’s interesting that God has providentially brought us to this passage on our 4th of July weekend. 1. there is always a danger lurking for every human being. 2. it is the danger to worship things of this world instead of God.

    The church is eager to get comfortable, and God is just as eager to stir us up to good deeds. Here in Antioch, this difference of opinion comes to a head.
