     | 5,858 views

    We are told in God's word that anyone who seeks to follow Christ should expect persecution. In can come in different shapes and forms but the truth of it is that brothers and sisters around the world are suffering for their faith. What should we expect?

    First Christmas Risk-Takers

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 21, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,163 views

    Risk taking at times needs to be bold and calculated. Other times require spontaneity. Risk taking is taking on something that causes fear and has the possibility of failure. Risk taking is an essential ingredient in ministry in the Kingdom of God. Most B

The pastors were essentially being sentenced for having meetings at home, making the government ...read more

    The effectiveness of the early church was not because of profound individuals, but ordinary people utilizing their gifts for ministry.

    The Gift of Faith and Evangelism Acts 5:12-20 Introduction: As your read through the Bible, you will find just a few occasions in which God employed signs and wonders. These were used as an attention getter. They were tools by which God would signify to humanity that He was working in a ...read more

    Many are the blessings we receive through a relationship with Christ. One of which is being commissioned with sharing the Gospel. Rather than a burden, this is a tremendous honor!

    Thankful for the Commission Acts 5: 40-42 This morning I want to continue the thought we began last week in regard to the blessings we have through a personal relationship with the Lord. As believers in Christ, pardoned from sin, placed within the body of Christ, and promised eternal life, there ...read more

    Dare to live life on the edge and don't let anybody stop you. Don't let their jealousy, dictates or threats stop you from being all that Christ calls you to be.

    Valerie Catura of Diamond Bar, California, was going over one of her memory verses before the lunch rush at the restaurant where she worked as a waitress. The verse was Galatians 2:20 – “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” Then her ...read more

    Obey God

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 26, 2015
     | 5,297 views

    When we obey God by doing things such as loving an enemy, people will be amazed because it is not the logical thing to do. Obeying God is the Christian thing to do. When we obey God, we don't know what the result will be, but God will bless our obedience

    Acts 5:27-42 is a story about obeying God regardless of the consequences imposed by mankind. Like Peter, we as Christians are to obey the Lord rather than man in situations where the two are in conflict. For example, when obeying our political leaders would cause us to do something that goes ...read more

    What made the early believers so effective in sharing their faith?

    In Matthew 5:13-15, Jesus says His followers are to be “salt” and “light” in the world. Just as salt makes one thirsty, the testimony of Christ followers is to create a thirst in the hearts of those who do not know Him. And, just as light helps us see things clearly, the ...read more

    Religious opposition to the Gospel!

    PERSECUTION: THE OPENING SALVOES. Acts 4:1-31; Acts 5:12-42. Soon after the early success of Pentecost, the fledgling New Testament church found herself facing persecution.

    Many things are done that are attributed to the Spirit, but He did not do them. Discernment is needed.

    We are called to be witnesses in the most uncomfortable situations and place so the glory of God will shine above our fears and desires.

    We began a conversation two weeks ago about what gives us meaning in this life and I suggested that the question is actually a mute point for those who call themselves Christian because if we believe that Christ came, died and rose again then we must also live it. To live out this belief we are ...read more
