Episodes
Acts 13:13-41 Bible study
Every thread of the Bible points to Jesus.
In Acts 13, Paul realized this truth and shared with the Jews a message on how everything points to Jesus. The result was predictable.
As we study, we will consider how Jesus is still central to our lives today.
In today's passage, we will learn the importance of seeking for God's will and listening to His voice.

A good teacher doesn't just give the answer. He asks questions. Coaches, parents, pastors, and Bible study teachers should all learn the power of the question. In this video we look at why question asking is so powerful, Jesus' example, and how to create a good question.

Acts 13:1-12 Bible study
Have you ever wondered why some believers seem to hear God’s direction so clearly while others feel spiritually numb? In Acts 13, the Holy Spirit spoke while church leaders were worshiping and fasting. Not while scrolling. Not while being entertained. Maybe the problem isn’t that God is silent. Maybe we’re too distracted to listen.
In today's passage, we will learn the import...
Acts 12:6-25 Bible study
James had just been executed and Herod wanted to go for Peter next. Peter was arrested, put in prison, and chained between soldiers. What was Peter doing while he was awaiting trial? Sleeping like a baby.
What does that teach us about fear and trusting in God?
We look at that question today as well as the question, "Why does God seek glory?" and one of the most gruesome deaths in ...
They tried to stop Christianity by force. Arrests, threats, murder. Steven was killed. Believers were hunted down. The message was supposed to die. Believers were supposed to cower. But instead of stopping the movement, the gospel spread. Those who were scattered did not stop preaching.
They took it with them to new areas, cities, regions, entire cultures started hearing about Jesus for the very first time. Every attem...
Why do people lie? You might be willing to die for the truth, but you probably wouldn't be willing to die for a lie. Yet the apostles did die for their belief in a resurrected Jesus.
Let's consider what that means for our faith today.
We'll be looking at those questions as we study Acts 12:1-5.

The church was growing, disciples were multiplying, and the gospel was going out. Everything seemed to be going great for the early New Testament church, but a dangerous false teaching was starting to infiltrate. A teaching that still can derail Christians even today, millennia later. The question is, is faith in Jesus enough to save you, or is something else required? That's the
question that Peter gracefully answers in this pa...
We live in a rapidly changing world. There are new tools we never would have imagined. AI can make many things very easy. But is it good? Is it dangerous for Christians? Should we use it for Bible study?
We explore those questions today.

People judge by color, class, and status. But God shows no partiality. His family is open to all comers. The church should have no racial barriers. God does not have a skin color. He does not play favorites. And it's time we get on board. Today, we will learn from Acts 10 how the church was open to all comers, even people who had been discriminated against for centuries.

If you had one hour left to live, what would you say? Jesus' last words reveal a lot about His character and salvation. They also can transform our attitudes and practices today.

Acts 10:1-23 Bible study
What happens if a person is on a deserted island and never has an opportunity to hear the gospel? Can that person be saved?

Acts 8:26-40 Bible study
Many believers had a wilderness experience in the Bible. In this passage, the Holy Spirit told Philip the Evangelist to go to the wilderness to share the gospel. A strange instruction!
What happens next reminds us that the Holy Spirit builds His church and we should be sensitive to His voice.

Acts 8:8-25 Bible study
In today’s study, we will look at Simon the magician, a sorcerer. He sees the power of God at work, believes, and is baptized. But was he really saved?
He wanted the Holy Spirit, but for the wrong reasons. Acts 8 shows you can be very close to the gospel and still miss Christ.

Acts 8:1-8 Bible study.
Why does God allow persecution instead of preventing it? Today we will see that the church seems in disarray.
Saul is hunting Christians. Stephen is dead, the first martyr. The church is scattering. But somehow God uses these defeats and turns them into victory.
Today we will learn how God turns things that are bad into good, not just back then, but today in our lives too.
Acts 8:...
Acts 7:30-60 Bible study.
Today we are finishing up Acts 7, Stephen's famous sermon and martyrdom. In this Bible study, we look at what God teaches us during times in the "wilderness," religious versus relationship, and forgiveness. What gave Stephen the power to forgive and how you can you and I forgive others today?
