Titus 3 Paul, in writing to his protege, Titus, began by telling him the kind of people to whom he is being sent.They are the “dregs” of society. They are liars and they live their lives undermining all good things. But, something has happened to these people. They have been changed through the power of the […]
Acts 22 As Paul stood before the Jewish rioters, he expertly took them through his testimony. Later, he would write these famous words: “the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe so they would not see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image […]
Acts 17 The Truth Penetrates God will move His people to where they can hear the truth that Jesus is who He said He was and thus must decide if they will believe or not. God used Paul to speak truth to the Thessalonians of whom were both Gentiles and Jews. Interestingly it was the […]
Acts 16 As a believer in Christ, we want to be open to what God has planned for our lives and that means minute by minute, day by day etc. Paul does not tell us how the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Jesus as he notes, spoke to the spirit of Paul to say […]

Acts 7 Are you able to share the gospel clearly to unbelievers? There are many programs that offer this as a stepping stone for believers to share their faith. But, Stephen did not have this and as we read his testimony we find that not only does he know the history of his people but […]
Luke 13: “Repent…”Jesus is asking if we are prepared for eternity. Without the work of the Holy Spirit to bring us to repentance of the heart, we are the most desperate people. In Jesus’ journey around Israel, people asked him about repentance and his message of grace and mercy. The recent calamities of that time […]
