Oh yes, he is. He hears and answers our prayers - so do not be shy, do not grow weary in praying. God is FOR you.

I've given you evidence/truth for Christianity in four arenas - and now, what will you do with the truth?

We all live our life according to some code, some standard. What is yours? Is it working? Here is Truth.

This is the third writing on why Christianity is true. You can have an answer to the statement people make that science and Christianity are incompatible

The enemy of more is satisfaction. What a statement! It hit me right between the eyes, caused me to ask God to do 'more' in me. Check this out.

How do we know Christianity is true? This one event is all you need to know about. Jesus Christ walked out of the tomb - he was and is the living Son of God, worthy of our faith and trust.

Why are you a Christian? Because it is the best explanation for the way things are! We must be confident that our faith in Jesus Christ is reasonable because he is who he said he was! God is in this story of ours - or is it we who choose to be in his story?

in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, people are looking for answers to the why's and wherefore's and what's next? The answers are found in God alone

I have an answer.

Take stock - are you living life to the full? The Creator is a relational God - how is your relationship with him? Reach for him for he is not far off...

Charlie Kirk was killed because he spoke the truth. May God take what was meant for evil and turn it for good--the saving of many lives. May revival break out!

How did they know when, where to go? And why, when it was so costly? Acts 13.1-12

people are looking for meaning - they are looking for hope... they are looking for the Truth

The second half of Acts chapter reveals a gruesome scene - but upon closer inspection, it reveals a God who sees, who loves, who will set all things right.

Peter, miraculously released from jail in Acts chapter 12... how is this possible? prayer - the limitless power of prayer!

This thing called grace is meant to be received and then given away, especially when people are sick, dying, desperate for hope

Acts 11.19-24 - powerful words that got my attention and made me stop and think. Especially this - what would it mean to see 'the grace of God'? What would it look like? Do you flow in grace? hmmmm...

God is always at work - outside of our time and space and restraints! Acts chapter 10 - 11.18 is pivotal for one military family and for the Church ever after.

Acts 1-9 has so much to inspire our Christian lives today!

Hurricane Erin is right offshore - prepare yourself now!

Someone had a big impact on Saul, especially at the start: Barnabas. Why? He was such an encouragement1

What happens to Paul after his conversion? Hint: it involves waiting

Acts chapter 9 continued. Saul preaches Jesus in the synagogue--what is going on? And what does it have to do with us? A lot. Saul was proving that Jesus was the Christ.

How did Saul recognize Jesus' voice? Would you know his voice?

Acts 9.1-9, a story about a know-it-all who did not; a story I pray will remind you and encourage you to keep praying for those you know who are far from God.

Things are getting rough for the Jerusalem church; Saul is dragging men and women out of their homes and into prison. And Philip, a real ordinary guy, does extraordinary things!

Acts 6 and 7, Stephen is chosen. Then, he steps forward, speaks his mind, which . . . wait for it------gets him stoned; that is, killed.

prayer changes things!

Acts chapter 6 - the 'church' gets organized; is there a problem with that?

The first believers could not stop talking about Jesus (Acts 5) - what is wrong with us? Why aren't we quick to share the love of God with others?

If they would just stop talking about Jesus, Peter, John and the apostles would be fine--no jail, no flogging... but they would not, they could not. They had the best news ever! Acts 5.12-42

Really? Step a little closer. Acts 4.36-5.11

if we are to empty our rucksacks from the cares of the world--all that weighs us down--what should be in them?

We all have one, a rucksack...

They were on to something - it was vital for life and faith. That has not changed in 2000 years. Find one, participate in it, grow!

Acts 4.31 - God shook the building where they were praying--the believers physically felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. Can we experience that today?

Acts 4.23-31

The courage of Peter in these early chapters of Acts is attractive and inspiring ... but so is the life of this man.

Oh man, Peter! Learn from him, Friends.

The same God who healed the lame man is our God . . . he still heals!

I want both for you! More than that, Jesus wants you to know Freedom and also Dependence.

Let's learn from the man in Acts chapter 4, who was willing to settle for a few coins ... you and I have got to be smarter than that!

Acts 3.1-11 - Maybe your God is too small... check it out.

How to grow your trust in God and walk out that trust all day long . . . tools for your tool belt!

trust and truth, their connection what you need

hope, peace, joy - grab ahold of it

I would like to fall backward, like into a pool kinda thing, except into this first century setting.

Check out these two things we learn from Peter in Acts 2--we must apprehend both for our lives.

Peter, empowered by the Holy Spirit, preaches a lights-out sermon on the day of Pentecost, and the Church is born!

These truths are vital for your life!
