What Religious Folks Really Hate Acts 6: 11-14. 1. They said that he speaks blasphemy against Moses. It is unheard of in scripture to blaspheme a man, only God can be blasphemed. But that was the problem. Their devotion to a dead prophet proved they hated the Lord whom Moses loved. They would have stoned […]
Kept From the Evil Acts 14: 3, 4 Not only does the Lord Jesus Christ sanctify us by giving us the word of life in our hearts at conversion, but once the Lord Jesus creates this division between the believer and the unbeliever, between our old man and the new, between the spirit and the […]
New Heaven and New Earth Revelation 21:1 And he that sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” (Revelation 21: 5). The believer is looking for a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3: 10-13.) In the end, the new creation will have none of the dividing effects of sin, […]

Acts 1: 1-5 What our Lord did in the forty days between the tomb and his ascension is what our Lord is doing right now. His disciples were scattered but he gathered them to himself. He showed them many proofs convincing them he is alive and well. By the use of those who saw him […]

Doing And Teaching Matthew 5: 19:…But whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
