“Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.” Acts 20:28 This is another of my favorite passages in Acts. Here, the Apostle Paul meets with the Ephesian Elders and in this

“And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting,”” Acts 9:5 In Today’s Verse, we have the words of a Proud Pharisee who had just met his match. The conversion of Saul is one of the greatest moments in Church History! After assenting to the stoning of

“As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.” Acts 5:15 Today’s Verse comes at the height of the Jerusalem Revival. Peter’s role has become so Christ-like that his “shadow” falling
