On Fear
In this reflection, I talk about “fear,” which is the second in our series as we look at four Biblical words that begin with the letter “F.” Read the first article, which was on faith, here. The scripture we’re using for our reflection comes from Luke 12:4-9. The Context Luke 12 […]
On Faith
This article is the first of the four in this series as we reflect on 4 Biblical words that begin with the letter “F.” These words are among the most used throughout scripture, which we all need to be aware of since a mastery of these concepts will daily sustain us as Christians. For the […]
And So It Begins
This part of the series looks at the final chapters 21 through 28. I will first share a summary of each chapter before discussing the three key learnings from these last chapters of Acts. Summary of Acts 21 through 28 I discussed chapter 21 in my last two reflections: Conviction over […]
Power, Perseverance, and Witness
We’ve covered pretty much the entire book of Acts. What’s left is Paul’s last trip, which, to some, is his final missional journey. But, others only refer to this section, chapters 21 through 28, as Paul’s trip to Rome. As we studied in our previous reflection, Conviction over Convenience, Paul’s trip to Jerusalem was like […]
Conviction Over Convenience
This part of Acts speaks to something we all want: convenience. We will use chapter 21 for this reflection. Read verses 1 through 16. You can also read the entire chapter if you want. Chapter 21 is like the transition from Paul’s last missionary journey (third) to his trip to Rome, which also marked the […]
Seek and Find God
As I’ve stated in my earlier reflections on the book of Acts, the book has two primary sections. The way, Luke, the author of the Gospel according to Luke and the book of Acts, wrote this letter based on two primary people: Peter and Paul. Each section focuses on one of these two Apostles. The […]
Encouragement Within Tribulations
In this section of the book of Acts, starting in chapter 12, the narrative is now shifting from Peter, as the primary character, to Paul until the end of the book. In other words, Luke, the author of this book, as well as the Gospel according to Luke, stops talking about Peter in chapter 12 […]
The Supernatural
In this reflection, we look at Acts 10, as a continuation of our study series on the Book of Acts. From my previous article in the series, it looks like we’re skipping chapters 5 through 9. But, let me give you some background to help you not feel like missing what’s going on in those […]
The Praying Church
This article is a reflection based on Acts 4, which is the continuation of our study series of the Book of Acts. To make sense of what’s going on in chapter 4, you will need to review chapter 3. In fact, you should also take a look at chapter 2 (part one and part two) […]
God: The Author of Life
In this article, we reflect on Acts 3. I won’t discuss all the verses, but just a few, and primarily verses 11 through 16. You may also have to review our previous reflections on the Book of Acts (chapter 1, chapter 2 – Part One, and chapter 2 – Part Two), which will be very […]
