Salvation bible study featuring Acts chapters 11 through 16 and Romans
Here is a bible study featuring Acts chapters 11 through 16 which continue the story with the new church being called Christians, the persecution of Peter and the death of Herod and then goes on to relate many aspects of Paul’s missionary journey to different places including modern Greece. There are again miracles, one of the more notable ones is the earthquake in the jail where Paul and Silas were being held, which in turn would lead to the salvation of the jail keeper and his family. On the topic of salvation, I am also including a teaching which has various scriptures from the epistle to the Romans which present the gospel message very powerfully.
To start this bible study, in Acts chapter 11, Peter is then confronted by some about the conversion of gentiles and after discussion all realize that the gentiles are also eligible for salvation and the baptism of...

Salvation study featuring Acts chapters 6 through 10 and Romans
Here is salvation study featuring Acts chapters 6 which pick up the story of the early church from where Steven is anointed, his ministry, his accusation and martyrdom. It also follows the ministry of Philip, the conversion of Paul, the ministry of Peter including the conversion of Cornelius, a gentile. These chapters powerfully state the power of the Lord in the miracles done and more. To back up these five chapters is a powerful group of verses from the epistle to the Romans with its powerful salvation related message.
To start this bible study, in Acts chapter 6 people are anointed to help the apostles feed and serve the people so the apostles could stay free to pray and teach the word. One of these is Steven who has a miraculous ministry and could out reason anyone. He then is falsely accused of speaking blasphemously against Moses and God and then...
DELIVERANCE!
"And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked. (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds); the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly..." 2 Peter 2:7-9a
IN JESUS TODAY!
Lot is righteous, not because of his choice to live in Sin City (Sodom & Gomorrah), but because his heart was sensitive and his ears were open to hear the righteous voice of God, we know this because he hated the evil of those that surrounded him. Now, when we are considered righteous by God, he isn't looking at our faults, he is looking at our present heart condition, and how we feel towards him...
Acts bible study chapters 15 through 28
Here is an extensive bible study covering the final fourteen chapters of the book of Acts, from 15 through 28. These cover the remaining part of Paul’s missionary journeys plus all of the times where Paul is arrested, jailed and the hearings that He went through and He was sent to Rome- and all of this for the gospel’s sake. There are also miracles in these chapters and the church continued to grow and prosper despite of or perhaps even because of the persecution, as persecution does not allow complacency to slip in to the church, which is a major problem nowadays in a lot of places where there is little to no persecution.
To start this study, in Acts chapter 15 they had to deal with a controversy of circumcision versus uncircumcision and this is dealt with by a speech by James, then there is a dispute between Paul and Barnabas as to whether to take John Mark with them...
Acts bible study chapters 1 through 14
Here is a bible study containing the first half of the book of Acts which covers the start of the new Christian Church from the Ascension of Jesus, the coming of the Holy Spirit, the miracles and rapid growth of the early church, including the persecution that it faced too. Later on Paul is converted from being a persecutor of the church to one of its greatest apostles. All of this shows God’s power, mercy and grace as He operates through men, for the goal is the same now as then bringing the gospel message to the world
To start this bible study, here is Acts chapter 1 where Jesus gives them the final commands to await the coming of the Holy Spirit and as the apostles wait, they elect a new person, Matthias to replace Judas the one who betrayed Jesus then committed suicide.
(Acts 1:1) The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and...
BORN AGAIN!
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." John 3:3
IN JESUS TODAY!
Expect a change! When we come to Jesus, for whatever reason we have been drawn to him, we can expect a change. We will not stay the same. To some change is frightening, since many are set in their ways, even if those ways are not healthy, still change is scary to them, and because of the unknown they are reluctant, and hesitate to come to Jesus and live for him. Jesus loves us and wants to calm our fears, and to comfort our hearts. For more please visit:
Acts chapter 6 to 14 bible study
Here is a nine chapter bible study dealing with the book of Acts, which covers from Steven and his martyrdom up into Paul’s early missionary trip and many of the events that went on in between including the conversion of Paul himself.
In Acts chapter 6 people are anointed to help the apostles feed and serve the people so the apostles could stay free to pray and teach the word. One of these is Steven who has a miraculous ministry and could out reason anyone. He then is falsely accused of speaking blasphemously against Moses and God and then brought forth to sit accused in front of the Sanhedrin council
And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
(Acts 6:1)
Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and...
COMPASSION SENSE!
"And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead." Luke 10:30
IN JESUS TODAY!
Many know this verse from the story of the Good Samaritan and how it teaches us to have compassion upon the hurting and we need to follow this example, however there is one more thing that we need to be mindful of, the Christian way of compassion is well known by many, this means that many have come to expect this help when they are hurting.

Another Rapture Alert it is coming soon
I am once again led to write another message stating that the rapture is coming very soon and to be prepared and to do good works again with a good and pure motivation while there is still time as the Lord will reward these deeds very well for the serve the purpose of the kingdom of God. I am also led to state the warning believing there are some that might not make the rapture that think they will (because these people are lukewarm in their relationship and or have left their first love- If this is you and the Lord is speaking to your heart please repent NOW while there is time and come back to Jesus with all of your heart). Another warning I want to make is that I firmly believe that there will be many unhappy people as they will find out at the judgment seat that they works are mostly or totally wood hay and stubble and they are going to find their works largely or totally...
