Jesus’ Grace – Acts 15.11
“On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way they are.” This is our salvation - the grace of Jesus Christ.

For the Sake of the Name – Acts 5.41-42
Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name. And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus. Such commitment to Lord Jesus! They have already learned the joy of … Continue reading For the Sake of the Name – Acts 5.41-42

Ungodly Favors – Acts 24:27
When two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison. What absolute injustice! Paul sits in prison for two years totally without justification. They have no charge against him and no way to prove any charge. Then, after two long years … Continue reading Ungodly Favors – Acts 24:27
Saving the Gentiles – Acts 11:18
When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.” What a blessed, revolutionary truth this is. His statement brings hope to all non-Jews. God is no respecter of persons whenever Salvation is involved. Redemption is open to all … Continue reading Saving the Gentiles – Acts 11:18
Calling Everyone – Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Is this truly possible? Everyone? Don’t we need to quantify and qualify and make some exceptions? Isn’t this too simple? Too easy? Shouldn’t we expound and suppose and require? How can Peter quote such a Scripture … Continue reading Calling Everyone – Acts 2:21
The Greater Miracle – Acts 3:19-20
Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Messiah. In the middle of a powerful miracle story, Peter speaks of and testifies to the … Continue reading The Greater Miracle – Acts 3:19-20
Evil Trials – Acts 24:5-6
For we have found this man to be a plague, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the Roman world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes! He even tried to desecrate the temple, so we apprehended him... As with Lord Jesus, every last accusation against Paul is a concocted lie. When evil … Continue reading Evil Trials – Acts 24:5-6
Through His Name – Acts 10:43
“All the prophets testify about Him that through His name everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins.” This has to be one of the clearest verses regarding the sin cleansing nature of faith in Jesus name. It is the name of Jesus that forgives sins through faith in Him alone. Faith ushers … Continue reading Through His Name – Acts 10:43
Angry Ignorance – Acts 22:22
They listened to him up to this word. Then they raised their voices, shouting, “Wipe this person off the earth — it’s a disgrace for him to live!” Ah, the ‘reasoned’ response of an angry, ignorant, condemning crowd - NOT! "He cannot be right in any respect because he accepts and reaches those who we … Continue reading Angry Ignorance – Acts 22:22
