My Bible Journey

My Journey through the Book of Acts
  • Acts 1:9-11, Stop staring into space and reach people who don't know Jesus
  • Acts 2, Some pretty freaky stuffed was going on. I like freaky stuff!
  • Acts 2:15, 9am is way too early to be drinking...how's 10? People sometimes mistake passion for drunkenness.
  • Acts 2:37-38, Some huge heart changes were taken place. Peter laid out loud and clear the way to be saved. REPENT of our sins and TURN to God! Then show the world through your actions.
  • Acts 2:40, Peter was a Baptist Preacher.
  • Acts 2:41, One day I would love for God to use me like He did with Peter and see at least 3,000 people come to know Him. If not me, I would love to be in a room where at least 3,000 people come to know Jesus...WHAT A PARTY!!
  • Acts 3, I love that Peter made the most of every opportunity to talk about Jesus.
  • Acts 4:1-2, It makes me laugh that the religious leaders and the "pastors" of that time were ticked off about what Peter and John were preaching, although it was previously prophecied. Many times pastors forget that its about Jesus and not their agenda.
  • Acts 4:4, Church growth-want your church to grow like it did in this passage? Make it about Jesus not about you!
  • Acts 4:8-12, I love that Peter & John were in troubel and yet they stayed strong and even witnessed to the officials.
  • Acts 4:13, It is awesome that God used people like Peter & John, plain ordinary people who were willing to give up everything and follow Jesus! It is awesome to see that they were recognized by the crowd they hung out with...Jesus. They were known as people who hung out with Jesus. How cool is that? Could they actually say, "Jesus is my homeboy?"
  • Acts 4:32, Unity! They shared everything they had (probably didn't have siblings -joking)! Really makes me think, "Can't we all just get along?"
