Sold out to his Savior, and filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter has become bold and courageous. Biographies of interesting people who have made their mar

There has been a shift, and trouble is afoot for the apostles, particularly Peter and John. A 40 year old man is walking for the first time in his life and it causes a stir, gets Peter and John thrown into jail. Why? Because Peter would not be silenced by intimidation, pressure or his o

The lights come up on the set of Acts chapter 3, where we witness two passionate scenes in the temple courts in Jerusalem. The first when the crippled beggar asks for money outside of the temple, and Peter responds with something like this, 'Hey Dude, I don't have any money, but I'll give you what I have... in the name of Jesus C

It wasn't just his legs, his thinking was lame . . . But then, perhaps

We have shored up some good and right thinking about trusting God with all of life in the last week, [ https://conta.cc/3T70VzS ] Now, back to Acts, where Scripture provides a historical, biographical narrative of what happens next. What is happening with the early Jewish Christians in Jerusalem? We learn so much from reading the biblic

podcast: https://www.pastorwoman.net/podcast/episode/2b4e6921/hope-for-our-lives hope is vital for life! A lot has happened in the last day and a half. I flew to Boston yesterday morning to show my California brother around a bit, and see my boy Danny too--good times. But then, after dinner last night, when I checked into my hotel, I learned that the U.S. had bombed nuclear sites in Iran. Instantly, I thought, 'O God, where is this going?' Talking at length to a stranger ove

Seems they couldn't get enough of this thing: it was warm, welcoming, life-giving, stimulating and safe. It was the first Christian church. While I am seldom interested in movies of time travel, I fervently wish I could transport myself back to this time in history, just to be a part of it. Come with me.         Luke's description:  All the believers

For instance, I had to run out and get a couple things at Hobby Lobby on Saturday, only to encounter a raucous crowd of anti-Trump protesters on the main road. 'Thought they were only near the capitol,'I sighed, as a Harley-riding man raced by me blaring an expletive-laced rap song, also about Trump. Really disturbing, it was.
