ACTS Recovering the Power of the 1st Century Church (10 of 30)

Today, as we continue our series in the book of Acts, we encounter two contrasting characters and we meet them through the eyes of Philip the disciple...  We're going to get a lesson in discernment. It is through Phillip that we're able to understand the difference between true conversion and what we might call a conversion of convenience. And we see that in two different people.  

(Acts 8)

If you have been following our study in the book of Acts, yesterday we looked at chapter 2 which lays out Peters first opportunity to preach. But we need to be aware of the fact that Peter's ability to preach didn't happen overnight. We have to consider that he's been under the tutelage of Jesus Christ himself.  

(Acts 3)

In yesterday's study, the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples to speak in languages they never spoke before and it was amazing, not only that this event happened but that it happened at just the right time...
