Dearing Christian Church

There will forever be only 2 responses to the gospel; and only 1 of those 2 leads to salvation.

As the first missionary journey continues we get an inside look at one of Paul's sermons, this takes place at the "other" Antioch.

The events recorded in Acts 13 begins a new era for the church, as its footprint on the map begins to grow exponentially.

Some of the days in the life of the early church could be labeled just about anything but normal!

It didn't take too long for the Jewish believers to see that the Gentiles were a part of the church to stay.

Peter's confidence when confronted, came from who had his back. The same can be said for anyone who speaks the truth of the gospel.

Acts 10 is a powerful reminder of how effectively God breaks down walls.

When Peter walked into the house of Cornelius, he was stepping right into a dream scenario for the follower of Jesus.

Once upon a time, Simon Peter got a BIG surprise before dinner.

In all situations the plan remains the same, serve like Jesus.

Saul/Paul was off and running for Jesus after his conversion; could he keep up this hectic pace?

When ANY person comes to know Christ as Lord, something monumental happens.

Philip allowed the Holy Spirit to run wide open through him.

When we come to Acts 8, historically speaking, we see a monumental bridge crossed.

The comparison between Stephen's reaction to his opposition, and their's to him, would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic. Fortunately, Jesus has a way of turning tragedy into victory!

Stephen takes the Sanhedrin to history class.

It wasn't just the Apostles the Holy Spirit was working through.

In today's passage, the Sanhedrin stepped up their efforts to intimidate the Apostles of Jesus, did their plan work?

The early church most definitely had some growing pains. As chapter 5 begins, we run into an ugly situation, and we find out just how seriously God takes honesty within church.

What Peter, John, and company pray for after being threatened, by the Jewish religious authorities, may surprise some.
