the Bible Preacher

Who wants to be effective for the Lord? Who wants to do and be like the apostles of the early church? Many times we make the mistake of trying to live the Christian life without Christ. In this passage today, those early New Testament saints did not make that mistake. We find in our passage today the "how and why" of those faithful saints of God, that were able to do great things for God. Ultimately, the "how and why" will help us focus on the 'Who" it is we are to be reflecting throughout our lives. May it be said that our living for the Lord is full in power and focused in purpose. Take a few moments with me, as we study Acts 2:4-11.

We have all been in storms throughout our life. The Apostle Paul gives a tremendous pattern to follow to navigate the storms of life. There is much to learn in those difficult times. Let's take some time to look at Acts 27:21-26 and learn what the Lord would have for us to learn. 

Many times our problems are not because of the White House, the Church House, but actually are found because of the altar being broken down in one's own house. The altar of God is not to be abandoned, but strengthened! May we be like Elijah "and he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down". Let us look at I Kings 18:30-38 and The Broken Down Altar.
