Bible Study Acts Chapter 3 (Part 1)

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Acts chapter 3, Bible study Acts, Day of Pentecost on January 16, 2025|

Read Acts Chapter 3
1. Where were Peter and John going in Acts 3? At what time?

Going deeper: When is the 9th hour? What would have been going on at the temple at that time?

2. Why would they be at the Temple at that time?

Going deeper: Where in the temple complex was the Beautiful gate located?

3. Who was being carried according to Acts 3:2? Why?

4. What does the lame man ask of Peter and John in Acts 3:3?

5. What do Peter and John say to him in John 3:4?

6. How does the man respond in Acts 3:5? Why?

7. What does Peter say to him in Acts 3:6?

8. What happens in Acts 3:7-8?

9. What is the reaction of the people who saw him in Acts 3:9-10?

Prayer prompt: Review Acts 3:1-10. For 10 minutes, meditate on the images from the story, the place–Herod’s Temple. The people, Peter, John, the lame man, and the crowd at the temple complex. What do you see? How are these events impacting people witnessing them? For the next 10 minutes, reflect on the lame man. What is his life as a beggar? What would he be thinking about Peter and John? What might he have been expecting from them? How would the healing have changed his life? His ideas about God? As you think through this, how does your soul react? Does it believe God is capable of such miracles? Do you believe God is doing this type of miracle today? What healing do you need in your life? Do you believe God wants to do that work? How does your heart feel? Tell God the healing you desire. Listen to what He says.

The First Sunday of Advent

Posted in Advent, Uncategorized, tagged Advent, First Sunday of Advent on December 1, 2024|

I am reminded today–the first Sunday of Advent–of those advent wreaths of childhood. We would light them and say the prayers in lieu of our regular pre-meal prayer. The wreath, made of evergreens had four candles, and we were four children. Each week of Advent, we would take turns lighting the candle(s) for the week. The first week would be our youngest brother. He would have only one candle to light.
It was a special time. The candle was allowed to burn during the entirety of the meal, and with each bite of dinner, we looked forward, anticipating. Christmas was the time of year when the difficulties we faced would dissipate for awhile, and we would embrace the glory and magic of Christmas. The baby was coming, and He would be the Savior of the whole world. Glory to God!

Shine Your Glory, Lord!

Posted in Uncategorized on June 9, 2024|

Shine Your Glory, Lord!

What sorrow so deep
what wickedness so near
Come, Lord Jesus shine
Your glory over here

Darkness threatens light
the world exacts its toll
but my Redeemer lives
He lives to save my soul

The little ones we bring to You
they seem to have few cares
the darkness or the boogie man
sometimes a grizzley bear

But satan has his sights on them
to through them thwart our way
come help me now Lord Jesus
to walk another day

As I go on the slope is steeper
darkness seems to grow much deeper
I want to quit, sit down and cry
but on eagles wings I’m called to fly

Lord Jesus make a way
seems I’ve reach the wall
please help me on this day
I feel I might just fall . . .

MaryBeth 2008

When all appears lost . . . Resurrection!

Posted in Uncategorized on April 1, 2024|

When tribulation strikes, when unspeakable atrocities stare us in the face, are we going to be like the disciples, hiding in a room, leaving town, forgetting what He said, what He has promised us?

Or will we remember that He said:

“I will never leave or forsake you.”

“I have plans for you, to give you a future and a hope.”

“I have given you all things that pertain to life and godliness.”

“I am the bread of life.”

“I am the way, the truth, the life.”

“I am the shepherd. My sheep hear my voice.”

“I collect your tears in a bottle.”

“You are the apple of my eye.”

“Nothing can separate you from the love of Christ.”

“If I be lifted up, I draw all men to me.”

“I am the vine, you are the branches.”

“I am the light of the world.”

“I have loved you with an everlasting love.”

“I will replace your heart of stone with a heart of flesh.”

“I have left you a comforter who will teach you all things.”

“I am coming back.”

He is risen . . . just one more promise kept. Behold, He will keep them all in due time. His justice is not swift . . . He would that none would perish. But justice will come. His promises are true. Hallelujah! What a Savior!
