    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on May 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,486 views

    Acts 6:1-7 teaches us about Satan’s attack of distraction and the church’s priorities for ministry.

    Introduction Christians are not immune from trials and difficulties just because they are Christians. Conversion to Christ does not cause our problems to evaporate and disappear. Part of the reason for our continuing trials is that we have an enemy, Satan, who constantly works to cause us to ...read more

    Contrasts Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 7, 2006
     | 4,206 views

    What are those things that bring your heart closer to God and what are those that drive you further away? We learn them from studying contrasts in people Jesus tells us about or encounters in this chapter.

    This is a chapter of contrasts. There are two kinds of people represented here: those that think they have it together, and those that know they don’t. Jesus gives us the contrast between them by showing us various different portraits. I think the idea is to give us a picture of what our approach ...read more

    God’s unquenchable joy flows in our lives every minute of everyday – but we have to stop and recognize it before we can share it
