In this passage, we see the Holy Spirit sending Barnabas and Saul into a new region to proclaim the word of God. Meeting opposition, they stand firm in the power of the Holy Spirit and prevail against evil and darkness. Their testimony results in a local official's conversion.
Let us not look outward to the government for our peace and provision, nor inward to our own strength, but rather upward to King Jesus whose Kingdom will never end. God speaks to our hearts and reassures of His presence and power in our lives.
Peter's rescue from prison shows how powerful prayer is and how sovereign our Lord is. God has chosen prayer as a means to bring about His sovereign will. We must pray fervently and then trust God with the results.
Criticism is where God's glory can shine the brightest!

We were made to worship, and we all do worship - either the creation or the Creator. Don't settle for worshipping the things of the world. Come and hear the gospel message which leads us to worship, in spirit and truth, the one true God.
In the story of Peter's vision of eating unclean food, we see how the gospel of Christ saves undeserving men and changes the prejudice in our hearts.
The story of Paul's conversion, as amazing as it was, is no different from our own. We too were saved by grace alone, through an act of surrender, moved from darkness to light, received a new family, and now identify with Christ. If you have yet to experience such redemption, come and taste God's word this Sunday.
Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus was a dramatic display of God's grace. Let us recognize that God's salvation of each of us is a profound story. Come and hear the amazing story of how God saves sinners like you and me.
In our passage today, we see how Philip explained who Christ was to the Ethiopian eunuch much like Christ had explained His death and resurrection to the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Come and let God's word speak to you this blessed Easter Sunday.
The story of Simon the magician in Acts 9 is puzzling. What can we glean from it? Come and hear Pastor Mull this Sunday. We're all in a battle and need to guard our own hearts. We should pray for others, both those who are in Christ, and especially those who don't know Him.
Our message picks up today right after Stephen's death, where Christians continue to be persecuted. But then we see something remarkable; this same persecution becomes the wind that blows the Gospel seed to new soil and produces a new harvest. Philip was one of those faithful seed bearers.
Stephen boldly proclaimed who Jesus was before the high priests. His defense resulted in his death by stoning, but it also resulted in an incredible victory for the gospel message. What a challenge for us all!
The story of Stephen in Acts 6 tells of a man used by God in an incredible way to share the truth about Jesus. He was empowered by God to perform great wonders and signs, to speak to his accusers with wisdom and grace, and to endure his trial to the very end. Come and hear this amazing story!
