Hold Fast: The Jerusalem Council

A crucial moment came for the early church when certain men came up to Antioch to challenge the Gentile believers and promote the idea that these Gentiles needed to convert to Judaism to be saved. It would undue everything that Jesus has already done. So the leaders of the church met in Jerusalem to decide what should be done. Praise the Lord that they held fast to grace! Bible Text: Acts 15:1-41

Patience, Praise and Prospering

In these three Psalms we look at our impatience and God’s perfect timing. Our need to finish well and live for the glory of God alone. And how we have a great hope in Jesus, our coming Prince of Peace who rules well. Bible Text: Psalms 70-72

First Mission Trip Completed

Paul and Barnabas continue on their mission trip with great perseverance, even undergoing a near death experience. But their love for people and desire to share the gospel wins out. They return back to Antioch (the sending church) with a great report of all that God has done. Bible Text: Acts 13:42-14:28

Victory and Agony

Psalm 68 recounts for us the victory march of God. And as we follow Him, we are walking in this victorious way! Psalm 69 reveals the struggles experienced by David. Opposition and difficulty came, but it has its fullest meaning in Jesus Christ. He took the agony of death that we would not have to. That we could be victorious! Bible Text: Psalms 68-69

First Mission Trip

Paul and Barnabas are sent out by the church at Antioch to go and preach the gospel to areas that have not yet heard. And not only do we see the first mission trip in this chapter, but we see the first recorded sermon of Paul. Listen in to see what God has in store. Bible Text: Acts 13:1-41

The Priority Of Praise

Do you willingly choose to praise the Lord each day? This is something we were made to do. And we see the benefit of, and purpose of praise as we go through these Psalms. Bibel Text: Psalms 66-67

God’s Purposes Prevail

How do you handle a crisis? How do you deal with trials? Acts 12 brings us to another crisis in the church as Herod begins to harass the church, even putting James to death and Peter in prison. How would you respond to that? Take a look with us as we unwrap this situation and learn some important truths. Bibel Text: Acts 12:1-25

God Our Defence & Praise

The psalms often express feelings of overwhelming need. Yet they also remind us that however great the need, our God is able to answer prayer. And as we see His provision, a fitting response is always praise! Bibel Text: Psalms 64-65
