God’s Anointed One—Disowned

  Peter was preaching to a crowd in Jerusalem and he didn’t soften his words.  They were pointed.  They also held out the promise of Jesus and His resurrection.   Peter referred back to the fathers of those people in that crowd…Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Those three men had faith in God the Father.  That […]

On the Basis of Faith in Jesus’ Name

Prayer! Power! Preparation!

How can you, can I, can anyone be available to the God of the Bible to tell others of Jesus Christ, the crucified, risen Lord?   PRAY: the prayer of dependence on the living God, praising Him.   POWER:  the power of the Holy Spirit of God to do what God has planned for you […]

Reason enough to praise God!

  My name (and yours), my reputation (and yours) – means nothing!  Absolutely nothing!    God’s name, God’s reputation – means everything!  Absolutely everything!  And that is reason enough to praise Him!    The Lord God uses His children to be a witness to a watching world.   Peter and John had been going to […]

The prayer of the week is based on Psalm 103:1-5   Praise the Lord, the living God of the Bible!  I come to praise You with my mind, my emotions, my will!  With everything within me, I praise Your holy name.   I praise You and come to remember the benefits that You give me!  […]

What has God given you to do?

  Peter and John were on the way to pray and a beggar asks them for money. What was Peter’s response? (NASB) Acts 3:6 “But Peter said, ‘I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene – walk!’”   What […]

Doing God’s work, God’s way…do that!

  Peter and John on their way into the temple to pray and a beggar did what beggar’s do, he asked for money.  He was lame, had been from birth…he had no other way to earn the necessities of life.  (NASB) Acts 3:3-6 “When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, […]
