I was raised Southern Baptist but in truth my mother raised me as a Methodist. I truly believe in the process of sanctification and perfection.

Focus On Jesus Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 17, 2009

We are to direct people’s attention to Jesus. We have faith in the Person of Jesus, not faith in ’faith’ or our efforts. The more you know Him, the stronger your faith.

It is not an everyday affair that you see a miracle. These men just did and they were shocked. • The people stared at Peter and John as if they were the ones who made this man walked (v.12). • Peter directed the people’s attention to JESUS. He did not explain much about the miracle. Acts 3:16 By ...read more

Contributed by Mark Van Cuylenburg on Jan 14, 2024

The Spirit Of The Lord is The Lord and he indwells all believers. How will His Spirit use us?

Dead Theologians

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Nov 30, 2023

Not all dead theologians are in the grave.

You can quote the written Word of God from Genesis to Revelation and go to Hell. You can have the Living Word of God, Jesus, and go to Heaven. Unless you are filled with the Holy Spirit of God who gives life to the written Word, you will go to Heaven defeated and fruitless while giving the wrong ...read more

Power Evangelism Explained (John 11:1-54, Part 2) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 21, 2022

How did Jesus do his signs, and how were the disciples able to do the signs? And what can we learn from this?

The last few weeks, I've been pushing the idea that God will still do signs, and wonders, and healings through us, as Jesus works in us, through the power of the Holy Spirit. I think God is far more willing to do great things in the world through us than we realize. I think the weakness, and ...read more

"Two Temples In Jerusalem” Series

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jun 16, 2022

In the Gospel of John Jesus is the replacement for all Jewish theology, the temple, sacrifices, etc. Acts chapter 3 the first miracle by the disciples. Peter is "moved" by the Holy Spirit, a miracle happened. I'm sure Jesus also passed this same man but chose not to heal him.

In Jesus Holy Name June 19, 2022 Text: Acts 3:6 Redeemer Lutheran “Two Temples in Jerusalem” God is on the move. There are now 3,120 new Christians in Jerusalem. They did not stop going to the temple at the time of prayer, just because they now worshiped Jesus. ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (4 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

I would remind you again, that Luke is writing to his good friend, Theophilus. He is reporting on the activities of Christ's apostles.

We can probably safely assume that Peter must have made a big impression on Luke, because in chapter two he recorded Peter's first message, and in chapter three he records Peter's second message. In Acts chapter three, we see three things we want to consider, such as: I. THEIR ...read more

What was it like on Monday for the disciples & followers of Christ after His resurrection the previous day? How about on Tuesday or Wednesday? Does your Christian life look more like the pre-Pentecost disciples or Post-Pentecost?

This past week was a very fascinating week in the life of a church if you stop & think about it. We celebrated Easter last Sunday with special services & music. The church builds toward Easter for weeks but then as soon as Easter is over – it’s almost like back to business as usual. ...read more
