AN EXPLOSION OF GOD-SIGNS “Through the work of the apostles, many God-signs were set up among the people, many wonderful things done.

THE BOOK OF ACTS – THE STAGE IS SET
THE STAGE IS SET “And so it turned out that not a person among them was needy. Those who owned fields or houses sold them and brought the price of the sale to the apostles and made an offering of it.

MOLLY AND ME – ONENESS How I wish that Molly and I could be truly one…especially on our daily walks! She wants to go her way and do her thing but I’m supposed to be the pack leader. A great part of our walking consists of me pulling her as though she were a trailer with brakes on because she …
THE BOOK OF ACTS – UNITED AS ONE
UNITED AS ONE “While they were praying, the place where they were meeting trembled and shook.

THE BOOK OF ACTS – FEARLESS CONFIDENCE
FEARLESS CONFIDENCE “A wonderful harmony in prayer: ‘Strong God, you made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them. By the Holy Spirit you spoke through the mouth of your servant and our father, David. “Why the big noise, nations? Why the mean plots, people?

THE BOOK OF ACTS – WHO IS IN CHARGE?
WHO IS IN CHARGE? “The religious leaders renewed their threats, but then released them. They couldn’t come up with a charge that would stick, that would keep them in jail.

SILENCE THEM WITH THREATS! “They sent them out of the room so they could work out a plan. They talked it over. ‘What can we do with these men? By now it’s known all over town that a miracle has occurred, and they are behind it. There is no way we can refute that. But so that it doesn’t go …
THE BOOK OF ACTS – COMPANIONS OF JESUS
COMPANIONS OF JESUS “They couldn’t take their eyes off them — Peter and John standing there so confident, so sure of themselves! Their fascination deepened when they realised these two men were laymen with no training in Scripture or formal education. They recognised them as companions of Jesus, but with the man right before them, seeing him standing there so …
MOLLY AND ME – PERSPECTIVE Molly is approximately 28cm tall at the shoulder while I am 1.52m tall. It stands to reason, therefore, that her perspective on her world is very different from mine. She sees everything around her at almost ground level. That means that she see perceives her world and everything in it as much bigger than her! …
THE BOOK OF ACTS – JESUS, CORNERSTONE
JESUS, CORNERSTONE “With that, Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, let loose: ‘Rulers and leaders of the people, if we have been brought to trial today for helping a sick man, put under investigation regarding this healing, I’ll be completely frank with you — we have nothing to hide. By the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the One you …
THE BOOK OF ACTS – BY WHAT POWER?
BY WHAT POWER? “The next day a meeting was called in Jerusalem. The rulers, religious leaders, religion scholars, Annas the Chief Priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander — everybody who was anybody was there. They stood Peter and John in the middle of the room and grilled them: ‘Who put you in charge here? What business do you have doing this?'” Acts …
CHAPTER 4 TOO LATE! “While Peter and John were addressing the people, the priests, the chief of the Temple police and some Sadducees came up, indignant that these upstart apostles were instructing the people and proclaiming that the resurrection from the dead had taken place in Jesus. They arrested them and threw them into jail until morning, for by now …
