EPISODE 1

Acts 1:1-13 Jesus Woke So Get Woke

Luke begins his second volume on Jesus with an affirmation of the convincing proof that Jesus rose! Thus, His disciples rose up to proclaim a mind-blowing repentance about the new king to all the world. In other words, Jesus Woke…So Get Woke. Acts 1:1-3. Luke 24:45-47

EPISODE 3

Acts 1:12-26 Whatever Happened to the 12 Apostles?

The eleven Apostles who gathered at Jesus' ascension are mentioned by name by Luke as they pray together before launching Jesus' world mission. We know a lot about Paul, but whatever happened to Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James (son of Alphaeus), Simon (the Zealot), Judas (son of James), Judas (Iscariot), and Matthias? Did they go and make disciples of all nations? Did they teach them to "obey everything they were commanded"?

Acts 2:22-42 3000 Were Baptized That Day

Pentecost meant so many things to the Jews. Here in Acts 2, the feast is co-opted by the Spirit to celebrate the clarity and security of Grace. Jesus offers a double cure: freedom from slavery to sin (repentance) and freedom from guilt & punishment of sin (forgiveness). Moreover, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and fellowship. This sermon takes a bit of an excursus to examine the Sinners Prayer, Altar Calls, and Biblical Baptism

Acts 2:22-42 The Power of the First Sermon

The first sermon of the Church inaugurated and constituted an approach that guided the disciples throughout much of the Book of Acts. The sermon emphasized Jesus, His death, His resurrection, His ascendency, His gift of the Spirit, His gift of Life.

EPISODE 6

Acts 2:42-3:11 Devoted

The fledgling church famously devoted themselves to the Apostles's teachings, to the fellowship, the breaking of bread and to prayer, as they celebrated many wonders and attesting signs performed by the apostles. One of those wonders is specified with the healing of the man born lame who rises to leap like a deer in praise of Jesus the Messiah. This devotion that undergirds all these events is no fuzzy sentiment. Devotion is discipline fueled by gratitude, diligence ignited by wonder, and duty bursting forth into significance.

Acts 3:11-26 The Blessing of Repentance

As Peter boldly declares the source of the miracle (the 40 something fellow healed of a lifelong disability) he points decidedly toward Jesus. Now that it's plain, it's time to repent - an unparalleled blessing from God.

EPISODE 7

Acts 4:1-12 No Other Way

One of the most controversial aspects of Christianity is its exclusive claim that there is no other way to God except through Jesus. How will Peter, who had recently shrunk back in cowardice, handle this difficult doctrine in front of all the most intimidating men in Jerusalem?
