Acts 13:21-22 ESV
“Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, ‘I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart...
Presently the Lord Jesus is walking me through the book of Acts. He is not having me teach word by word, but rather he is pointing out to me the things he wants me to focus on which can be applied to our lives today. And the story of Cornelius and Peter is a great story from which to teach some...
They call them old.
They call them sheltered.
They say they’re bold.
They say they’re fettered.
They say they’re crazy,
That they’re insane.
But they’re not lazy,
The truth explain.
For that’s opinion,
But not in truth.
They’ve no dominion,
They are uncouth.
They make their judgments,
The...
I am reading in Acts chapter 7. Stephen, who was one of the first deacons, and who was a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, was being persecuted by Jews who were libertines, who were lacking in moral principles. So, they secretly instigated other people to accuse him falsely of what he...
Stephen was a man of God, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit who, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. But he was being opposed by the libertines. And a libertine is defined as “a person who behaves without moral principles or a sense of...
Peter and John were speaking to the people, although I believe it was primarily Peter who was talking, and they were teaching and proclaiming Jesus Christ and him crucified and risen from the dead. And the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees were greatly annoyed at this. So...
I am reading in Acts 3. Peter and John, on this occasion, had been instrumental in the healing of a man who was lame from birth. And all the people who were present saw the man who was lame now walking and praising God. And so Peter addressed the people, and he gave all the credit to the Lord...

Psalms 24:3-6 ESV
“Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive blessing from the Lord
and...
Proverbs 29 (Select Verses) ESV
1 “He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,
will suddenly be broken beyond healing.
2 When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,
but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
3 He who loves wisdom makes his father glad,
but a companion of...
I believe today that the Lord Jesus would have me talk about the church, and what the church looked like at the beginning, and what it should still look like today. So I will begin with Acts 2:42, for this is what happened right after what took place on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit...
Psalms 57:1-3 ESV
“Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
He will send from heaven and...
Psalms 46:1-3 ESV
“God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah”...
Isaiah 30:8-11 ESV
“And now, go, write it before them on a tablet
and inscribe it in a book,
that it may be for the time to come
as a witness forever.
For they are a rebellious people,
lying children,
children unwilling to hear
the instruction of the Lord;
who say to the seers...
Window dressing, now impressing,
Artful, skillful, and misleading,
Superficial presentations,
On this many now are feeding.
Scheming, dreaming, eyes are beaming,
Cunning, crafty, they are teaming,
Skillful in their craft, deceiving,
Many now in them believing.
Fewer, fewer truth receiving...
Psalms 142:1-4 ESV
“With my voice I cry out to the Lord;
with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord.
I pour out my complaint before him;
I tell my trouble before him.
When my spirit faints within me,
you know my way!
In the path where I walk
they have hidden a trap for me.
Look...

Titus 2:3-5 ESV
“Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their...
Psalms 140:1-3 ESV
“Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
preserve me from violent men,
who plan evil things in their heart
and stir up wars continually.
They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's,
and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah”
Who are these “evil men” today in...
The following is Paul’s testimony of the kinds of things that happened to him while he was serving the Lord in ministry. Now, we may not relate to these specific situations, and we definitely do not know these people, since they lived a very long time ago, but we all have our own set of people...
2 Timothy 4:1-2 ESV
“I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.”
What this...
2 Timothy 2:20-21 ESV
“Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful...
