we again are looking at the 40 days Jesus ministered after His resurrection. We see He spoke of power that was outside of ourselves and that by His Holy Spirit disciples of Christ would do amazing things in the power of God working in our lives.
Acts of the Apostles Book of Acts selected verses Introduction- This week our leaders spent 2 ½ days at District convention. It was a great time of refreshing.

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

When faced with the ungodly things of this world, the Bible tells us to "count it all joy." This message looks at how we can do that.
Count it all Joy Good evening to the Lord’s beloved. Would you please open to Hebrews 12? I “joined” church when I was 10 years old. Back then it meant the same thing as accepting Jesus. I started out as a baby. I didn’t know anything about being a Christian. That was 57 years, six months and 72 ...read more

Where does obedience to the command of men stop and obedience to God begin?
We must obey God rather than Men Acts 5:26-33 Sometimes, the Scripture seems to put us in quite a dilemma.
