Acts Bible

Each story in Mighty Acts of God is retold in lively, modern-day language from a Reformed perspective, and is followed by an application section with several discussion-sparking questions and prayer points. By moving chronologically through both the Old and New Testaments, parents and children glimpse the person of God as one of consistency, vibrancy, passion, and love.

Paul and Jesus are joined in one important way; the way of a miracle. They met one day on the road to Damascus while Paul supposedly pursued Christians. Jesus, in a sense, told Paul to get with the program and stop persecuting his people. In this incident, the Bible tells us, Jesus is already dead, resurrected and leading his flock from his throne in heaven. He spoke to Paul as from a dream, knocking him from his horse and speaking to him as a spirit. It is thought he gave Paul the gift of enlightenment, a new brighter vision of a world ruled by Jesus and his Father in heaven. Paul had been...

Christ's ministry from heaven to the Church, the body of Christ is through Paul, “the apostle of the Gentiles” (Romans 11:13). He is our “pattern” (1 Timothy 1:16). The dispensation of grace in which we live was FIRST and ONLY revealed to Paul. Second Corinthians is a look into the heart of the apostle Paul and how the “God of all comfort” comforted him. Paul said, “without were fightings, within were fears.” Paul had to warn the church at Corinth not to follow false ministers, but him. As we turn our eyes upon Jesus in His word to us through Paul, we will have the peace of ...

Acts is a travel log of the church’s journey through the many changes that God puts in the path of His people. Change is the thread which weaves its way through these first twelve chapters of this first volume and really the whole book. I subtitled this study guide When everything changes because I think this theme not only draws out what is described by Luke, but also because it has real world application for anyone reading this. The reason is most people find at some point in life that everything changes. How we view life through the glass of that change can either be character building...

It is specifically designed to be SPOKEN and HEARD, repeatedly, and is built on the premise that a crucial key to revival in the present can be found in one simple practice from the past - speaking God’s Word back to each other in community.

Do you want to discern the spirit of the false prophets? Are you under the influence or spell of the false prophets? Do you know false prophets operate under the Jezebel spirit, the spirit of deception? If you are called to ministry, this book is for you!!! Towards the end of the Savior’s earthly ministry, His disciples came to Him with several questions concerning the future: "Tell us … what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" Jesus responded: "Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ...

Galatians is the clearest letter for distinguishing the difference between “prophecy” and “mystery.” The Lord Jesus Christ has two ministries: one on earth to Israel as recorded in the four gospels and early Acts, and the other from heaven to the Body of Christ as recorded in Romans to Philemon. The Galatians had “fallen from grace” and gone back under the law. This legalistic error is prevalent among Christians today. This error prevents believers from functioning as God intends them to and from rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
