Peter’s Vision (Acts 10:9-23a)
Today’s passage is about one of my favourite topics – FOOD!! I often suffer from what is known as being ‘hangry,’ you know when you reach that place where you’re just so hungry you start getting angry at everything because you can’t stop thinking about food? Most of my friends know this about me and are… Continue reading Peter’s Vision (Acts 10:9-23a)
Cornelius Calls for Peter (Acts 10:1-7)
It’s Wednesday! We’re half way through another week together. Today’s passage is a bit of a shorter one where we meet someone new named Cornelius; let’s find out a bit about who he is: Acts 10:1-4a At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all… Continue reading Cornelius Calls for Peter (Acts 10:1-7)
Aeneas and Dorcas (Acts 9:32-43)
Welcome to Tuesday! Today we are reunited with our good friend Peter. We last saw Peter in Samaria a few days ago. Now we’re going to hear a bit more about what he’s been up to, and I should warn you, it’s pretty epic. Acts 9:32-35 As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit… Continue reading Aeneas and Dorcas (Acts 9:32-43)

Saul’s Conversion (Acts 9:1-19a)
Welcome back! We’ve made it to the end of our first week together, and I’m pretty excited about today’s passage. Today, we get introduced properly to Saul who we briefly met at the beginning of the week. Saul’s a very significant person in the New Testament, and we’re about to witness possibly the most famous… Continue reading Saul’s Conversion (Acts 9:1-19a)
Philip and the Ethiopian (Acts 8:26-40)
This is one of my favourite quotes: “The problem with the world today is communication. There’s too much communication.” ~ Homer Simpson. I love this, first of all because it speaks a lot of truth about our digital world which is inundated with communication, second of all because it was spoken by my favourite cartoon… Continue reading Philip and the Ethiopian (Acts 8:26-40)
Simon the Sorcerer (Acts 8:9-25)
Today’s passage is slightly longer than the others in this series have been so far. To make it easier, we’re going to look at it in smaller chunks to try to decipher what’s going on here. Simon the Sorcerer 8:9-13 Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and… Continue reading Simon the Sorcerer (Acts 8:9-25)
Philip in Samaria (Acts 8:4-8)
Hello again! Welcome back. Yesterday we heard about how something humans had intended for evil (the severe persecution of Christians), God instead used for good (the spreading of his good news throughout the world). Today we get up close and personal with one of these Christians and hear about how God used him in an… Continue reading Philip in Samaria (Acts 8:4-8)
The church persecuted and scattered (Acts 8:1b-3)

In this series we’ll be looking at Acts 8-10, honing in on the formation of the church in the first century and also the conversion of the… Continue reading The church persecuted and scattered (Acts 8:1b-3)
