Acts
Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse
Shakeout (Acts 4:32-5:11)
March 24, 2019 • Andy Falleur
In this study, we reviewed the progression of the development of how they shared and distributed resources among the church and eventually churches. We also considered the story of Ananias and Sapphira and what happened when they lied to the Holy Spirit about a donation.
Look! (Acts 3)
March 10, 2019 • Andy Falleur
In this study, we read through Acts 3, this incredible account of a man crippled from birth, that opened up another opportunity for the good news of the power of the name of Jesus to be shared with a large crowd or people. Here we made many observations of truths found in the story, including the significance of all the seeing, looking, recognizing found throughout.
Outpouring (Acts 2)
March 3, 2019 • Andy Falleur
In this study, we reviewed the record of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on those first believers in Jesus gathered in Jerusalem at Pentecost. After reading the account, we considered “what does it mean?”, “what was the result?” and “will it happen again?”
Making Decisions (Acts 1:15-26)
February 17, 2019 • Pat Sieler
In this message, we take a look at how the early church decided to choose a new apostle. The were in community, they looked to the word of God, the used common sense, they prayed, and then they cast lots. Is this how we should do it? We also answer the question, "Are there apostles today?"
Wait (Acts 1:1-14)
February 10, 2019 • Andy Falleur
In this introduction to our study through the book of Acts, we look briefly at Luke who is the author, and some interesting parts of Acts where the story catches up with him. We also take note of the theme of those first fourteen verses, which is the command from Jesus to "wait". This is a common thing throughout the Bible, where the Lord causes us to "wait" for the promise He's given. Waiting does some wonderful things in our hearts and souls , and we noticed the example of how to wait which the disciples provide for us.
