    This event in the life of the early church gives us guidance in how to pray with power.

    As I’ve probably shared with you once before, I was tremendously challenged by a conversational exchange in a short-lived situation comedy. It was a comedy where the late Danny Thomas played a doctor. There was a scene in “The Practice” where a nurse overhears Thomas’ character praying. When she ...read more

    Can a modern, rational person still believe in the miraculous events described in the Bible?

    Pentecost Is Not A History Lesson

    This message relates the events of Pentecost to our situation as the Church in a lost world today.

    Today is the day we celebrate the birthday of the church on Pentecost, nearly 2,000 years ago. However, while we are going to read about the remarkable, earth-shaking events of that day, this is not a history lesson. The story of Pentecost does tell us how Christ's first disciples reached the ...read more

    The beginning of Christ's ministry here on earth. The pivotal event was the arrest of John the Baptist.

    Luke wrote to Theophilus, telling him of some of the great events of the early church.

    As he tells of these events, it is like an unwinding story in which one event leads into the next. For example, after Pentecost, he leads into chapter 3, and tells of Peter and John going into the temple. He tells of the man who had been crippled from birth, asking them for alms. Luke related ...read more

    Jesus’ “going up” to Jerusalem is a public event, interpreted by Luke as a royal entry.

    It is that “slash” day again—as in Palm/Passion Sunday—as in trying to capture two seemingly distinct moods and experiences in one act of worship. It is almost impossible to do, it seems. If we lean toward the Palm Sunday experience and emphasize the exuberance of the triumphal entry into ...read more
