Portrait of an Effective Evangelist
June 23, 2023 • Dr. Robert Jeffress
The first – and only – person called an “evangelist” in the Bible was not a paid professional apostle or pastor, but a layperson named Philip.

June 16, 2023 • Dr. Robert Jeffress
Are Christians being persecuted for their faith today? In some parts of the world, yes. But in other countries like the United States, persecution begins subtly and grows incrementally -- just as it did in the First Century, as we will see in today’s passage.

No Other Name
June 13, 2023 • Dr. Robert Jeffress
Today, we have come to another of many “firsts” in the book of Acts: the first instance of persecution because of the proclamation of the gospel. As we observe how Peter and John reacted to the threats of the religious leaders, we can learn some important principles for how to react when – not if – persecution comes.
Purpose-Driven Healing - Part 2
June 12, 2023 • Dr. Robert Jeffress
Today, we are going to explore the first miracle ever performed in the church that resulted in the healing of a lame man. Does God still heal people today? If so, why doesn’t He heal everyone who asks? We will discover the answer to those questions and more in Acts 3.
