With these verses the book of Acts comes to an end, but in truth it’s only the end of the beginning. In a very real sense Acts is an unfinished book since the story it tells continues to be written even today as God’s people increase in number and more souls are added to the kingdom. Rather than concluding with a period, the final punctuation mark of the book should actually be an ellipsis.

After a year of imprisonment John the baptizer finds himself confused and lacking the sense of assurance he once held. To his credit, he sends a couple of his disciples to gain confirmation from Jesus as to His messianic role. After providing John's disciples with an answer, Jesus speaks to the remaining crowds, extolling the greatness of the forerunner. He closes this tribute with a call to decide whether they would accept or reject the important role that the baptizer played.

Without a doubt faith is one of the most fundamental of Bible topics. In fact, the concept appears more than 600 times in Scripture and is said to be foundational to everything else. And like any foundation, if you’re “off” here, then every-thing else you build on that faulty foundation will be “off” as well. Faith isn’t just a confidence in certain information, nor is a trust that’s devoid of behavior. So what does true faith actually involve?

If we were to list the sins we consider to be most serious, surely marital infidelity would make most people's list. But while adultery would occupy a prominent place on our list, there's another sin that affects far more people and that may actually be higher on God's list. That sin is self-righteousness. In this encounter with a sinful woman Jesus deals with both.

When you think of Philippians 2, most people’s minds immediately go to the theologically rich language of 2:5-11. Therefore it’s somewhat surprisingly that this same chapter ends with something as mundane as Paul’s travel plans for two kingdom coworkers. But there’s more here than meets the eye. In reality he’s pointing us toward two men who modeled the very principles he called for in the opening section of the chapter. This pair of men are certainly worthy of our imitation!

The word authority is a strong one filled with meaning. It denotes permission, power, rule, control, and privilege. Because Jesus held all authority, He didn't need any man's permission to do, teach, and heal. But this caused issues with the Jewish leaders who falsely believed they were the only ones able to grant permission. They confront Jesus in the temple with a question involving authority and Jesus responds with a question of His own that reveals their unbelieving hearts.

The message of the cross as the only means by which God forgives sin causes some to question why. Why doesn’t God just forgive us in the same way He commands us to forgive others? The answer? The inevitable collision that takes place between His holiness and our humanness. Though God is a God of love and mercy, He is simultaneously a God of justice and holiness. This morning we’ll take a look at ourselves from God’s perspective.

Throughout the OT the focus is almost entirely on the nation of Israel. As a result of God’s choice of them, the Jews developed a belief that His will for them demanded that they remain aloof from all those outside of Judaism. Centuries of this made it necessary for the Lord to take drastic steps with the gospel beginning with a centurion named Cornelius. Standing between him and salvation was a massive wall of Jewish prejudice that needed to be torn down.

Fear can be a surprisingly powerful motivator. Though I understand God is not wanting us to live lives marked by abject fear, there is great spiritual danger when we experience no fear at all. A lack of it can cause us to take things like security and assurance to an unbiblical extreme. If it is possible for a Christian to fall from grace and lose their salvation (and the Bible says it is), then a healthy fear of God can be a good thing, motivating us to continued faithfulness and growth.

A week after Peter’s great confession regarding Jesus’ identity as the Christ, a unique event transpires to bolster the faith of the disciples. It was a moment when the eternal was able to break through as a trio of disciples are given a brief glimpse of who Jesus really was. This display of divine glory was intended to validate and reinforce every claim He had made about Himself—and it would leave an indelible mark on their faith.

In his letters to four different churches Paul exhorts saints to live their lives in a manner that’s “worthy.” In other words, in ways that genuinely correspond to the tremendous value and cost of the salvation that had been so abundantly provided. But he doesn’t just give a general exhortation, he also includes some of the specifics elements that are entailed in doing so.

In our language small words can often make a big difference. That’s also true in the Bible where seemingly insignificant terms can reveal profound truths. One such case involves the preposition “in.” It t’s used numerous times by Paul to describe the close union and deep personal connection Christians have to Jesus. We’ll be talking about how one gets “into Christ.”

If there was just one thing that God wanted us to know about Him, it may well involve the attribute of His holiness. Not only is it a chief quality of God in Scripture, but all of His other characteristics are controlled and permeated by this one. Here God’s prophet has a vision of God that impresses upon him this aspect of God’s person—and there is much for us to learn from what Isaiah sees and hears.

A paradox is a statement or situation that appears contradictory, yet both elements are not only valid, but reveals a deeper truth. Christianity is marked by several of them and in this passage Paul focuses on three. What Paul’s opponents pointed to as disqualifiers of his apostleship, he lists here as his credentials. These things were not only vital to Paul’s effectiveness in the 1st century, but they’re essential to ours in the 21st as well.

If we’re going to serve God faithfully in this world it demands that, in a sense, we leave it. As long as the things of this world matter most to us, we remain earthly and secular. It’s only when we push our inner man away from this world, becoming bystanders in it as opposed to participants of it, that we become heavenly and spiritual. Paul’s message in these verses is simple and it helps equip us to live above while we’re still below.

There are two dangerous extremes that must be avoided when it comes to our behaving like saints. One is to use our human frailties as an excuse to dismiss any guilt before God; the other is for us to think it means being perfect by way of our own power. Both are the result of a misunderstanding in regard to sanctification. This morning we’ll delve deeper into this important topic.

Genuine transformation by way of the gospel doesn’t involve a remodeling of the outside, but rather a change that takes place from the inside out—a kind of heart transplant. In fact, any changes that ignore the heart will never result in true transformation. Though it may seem real, it’s merely cosmetic and thus temporary. A wonderful benefit of the gospel is its ability to make our hearts completely new.
