When it comes to God’s word and to our beliefs, we should want to be as right as possible. Acts 19:1-10 shows Paul finding disciples who were unclear on a number of essential beliefs that had everything to do with their salvation. The good news is that the disciples listened to what Paul had to show them from the scriptures. (A Portion of this recording was lost due to a power outage.)

The call to follow Christ is a call to both being His disciple, and making more disciples. The relationship shown to us of Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos, is a good example for us to see how we are to be involved in discipleship.

There are many times when we are tempted to ignore the command of Christ- “So let your light shine to all men.” It may be because we are tempted to be swallowed up in frustration, or because we succumb to fear.

Focusing on two individuals in Acts 16, this text reveals to us that an act of God is required in all people in order for their spiritual conditions to be changed. You cannot enter the kingdom academically, or through any human advantage, but through the working of God.

It seems very common that the 21st century church is marked by splits and sharp disagreements, but God’s desire for His church is that we would be strengthened and united… so how do we do that when we’ve been brought up to look out for ourselves? Acts 15:36-16:5 is the text for this message.

Acts 15 is about more than a culture clash between the Jewish church and the Gentiles who were newly being saved.
