all things to all people.
Interestingly, just a few chapters back Paul had been in Jerusalem with the apostles and elders seeking their guidance on whether or not new Gentile believers should be circumcised. Peter answers Paul's…

true devotion.
Wow! The kind of commitment the early church showed to the Lord and to the body is amazing! I’ve always imaged the early church being a small group of devoted believers. It always seemed easy that a small…

the Miracle.
There are so many amazing, exciting and crazy things that happen in this passage! It's easy to focus on the miracles and miss the Miracle, “that God has made [Jesus] both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36).…

Jesus' brothers.
It makes my heart leap that Acts 1:14 mentions Jesus' brothers being of one mind with and praying along with the disciples. I am reminded of John 7:3-5, where Jesus' brothers were not believing in Him.…

missing the mark.
It’s so interesting to me that this persecution of Jesus started because He healed someone on the Sabbath. After 400 years of silence from God, it seems like someone who was doing miracles and speaking…
