Acts Ch.18 The Book of Acts often seems to focus on the big names but in this chapter we come across Aquila and Priscilla who are the most amazing, encouraging and obedient couple in the New Testament. They also appear in Romans Ch.16, 1 Corinthians Ch.16 and 2 Timothy Ch.4 as an example to us […]

Acts 17 I was recently comforted by two verses in the bible where Paul exhorted his followers to live quiet and tranquil lives in all godliness and dignity (1 Tim.2:2) and where he instructed believers to be subject to the governing authorities (Rom. 13. 1-7).

God uses the bad things happening around us to press reset sometimes. In 2020, the lockdown pressed reset on church life. We couldn’t gather and so many of us learnt new skills and tried new things.

As a charismatic, Acts 2 is hugely familiar to me and well loved. I’ve preached and written on it many times, so I was hungry for fresh insights! This time I found the Lord drawing me to Old Testament parallels beyond the quoted Joel 2. This passage is the one where the Spirit promised, becomes […]
