The Word Infusion

Like the Jubilee of the Old Testament times, we, as believers in Christ, have been set free and rejoice in Christ our Savior.

We finish I Peter Chapter 2 discussing the fact that Christians of today must submit to the authority over them (whether in the workplace or to our government).  We are to be a witness for God no matter where we are.  We then begin I Peter Chapter 3 discussing the relationship of a husband and a wife.  We are to honor all people and God at all times in all relationships.

In this second half of Acts Chapter 8 we see Philip witness to the Ethiopian on the road.  We learn how we to need to be close enough to God to hear His voice and follow His directions.  We learn how to watch for where God is working and find the springboard He wants us to use to reach others for Him.

A new river of life flows freely in the lives of those who seek Him.  We gain a new and personal relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.  He will be our Counselor and Teacher.  As a result we will naturally testify to others of what God has done in us.  We declare Him who is Truth.

The principles of the Church on Fire from Acts Chapter 8 Part I pdf file.

We meet Philip the Evangelist in this chapter and learn about his great work in Samaria.  We meet Simon the Sorcerer who receives the gospel, but then stumbles in sin.  In this chapter we discuss the much debated subject of the laying on of hands to receive the Holy Spirit.  Was this a requirement to receive the Holy Spirit or merely peculiar to the beginnings of the Church.  We also discuss the other debated subject in this chapter.  Did Simon really receive Christ or was it a front to try and further his fame and fortune?  Listen and decide for yourself as we study God's Word together.

Intervention is a natural and godly characteristic of fathers.  We take a look at this through Jairus, Jesus and ourselves.  Happy Father's Day to all our Dad's out there.

Peter begins by remind us that we need to change our ways when we become a Christian.  To help us to change we need to desire God's Word in our lives and remember how much grace and mercy the Lord has shown us.  He then reminds us that Jesus is the "cornerstone" that gives strength to God's building and we are living stones that are built upon Christ.

Angels look in to our lives to learn about our relationship with Jesus.  Therefore we need to be strong and live the Christian life we are called to live.  We must be Holy as God is Holy.  We need to look to our hope in Christ to help us through the difficult times as we walk through our lives on this earth.
