As we reach the conclusion to Luke’s book of Acts, we are reminded of Paul’s dogged commitment to the people God called him to minister to.
Paul was imprisoned but not intimidated, because he knew the risen Jesus and the promise that God would be with him on days like these.
Paul’s third missionary journey was chaotic. He faced confrontation head-on but he also knew when to walk away. We often need wisdom to know the difference.
The gospel will be good news for some, but bad news for those who stand in opposition to its principles.
The Spirit who birthed the church at Pentecost continues to breathe life in to us, so that we can be more than we could ever be on our own.
Unfortunately, church can often be a place of conflict and hurt. How do we disagree well?
Three short stories in the growth of the early church show how Christians stood against deceit, stood for more and stood out as different.
The story of the early church reminds us that there are days when God does amazing wonders and there are other days when everything seems to be lost.
