The Radical Truth

The healing of a lame man and the beginning of the sermon Peter preached as a result of this miracle is the subject of this lesson. This is a challenging study.

In this lesson we will get into some of the dynamics that made the primitive church so powerful. What the Lord has done in the past are prophesies of what He wants to do again. That thought comes from Charles Spurgeon and it is true. The Lord wants the life of the early church to be in the church of today, regardless of the culture.

We are only going to dig into two verses in this lesson. They contain some of the fruit that came out of the Day of Pentecost as seen in Acts chapter two. There are two points that stand out. The first is the power of the Holy Spirit that brought 3000 souls to Christ and the second is the devotion those early saints had for Jesus. This is a very important lesson to understand and apply to our lives.

In this lesson we will look at the end of the sermon Peter gave on the Day of Pentecost and see the response of the people to this message. We will also examine a topic he preached after the people inquired into how to be saved. This is a great section of Scripture to dig into, so don't miss it.

We will continue studying Peter's first sermon after Christ's death, resurrection and ascension into heaven, This is a fiery message that was anointed by the Holy Spirit as is proved by the tremendous results it produced. We will see the simple logic Peter used that made this message so influential. Don't miss this message.

Peter's first sermon after Jesus rose again is the subject of this lesson. This happened on the Day of Pentecost and the first thing he did was to explain what happened with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Then he told the large crowd what Jesus did for them and then exposed their guilt so that they might come to repentance. This is a great sermon to study.

In this lesson we will be studying when the Baptism in the Holy Spirit was first given and what it accomplished. God's plan for the true church is to be Holy Spirit filled and we will clearly see this as we dig into these extremely important verses from Acts chapter two.

This lesson focuses upon the 120 followers of Jesus that were meeting in Jerusalem between Christ's ascension and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. There are some very interesting and important truths we will study in this lesson.

This lesson picks up with Christ's ascension into heaven when over 500 people witnessed this astounding sight. Two angels suddenly appeared to give the disciples an important message--Jesus is coming back. As real as was His ascension, so will be His second coming. Then the disciples obeyed our Lord's final command before He ascended and went into Jerusalem to tarry until they received the promised Baptism in the Holy Spirit. This is a soul-stirring lesson.

In this lesson we will be studying the first nine verses of The Book of Acts. In these verses we will see the tremendous importance that is given to the work of the Holy Spirit and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. This is a faith stirring message , so don't miss it.

We are beginning a new study from the New Testament - The Book of Acts. This lesson is the introduction to Acts and its author. There is a lot of interesting information that will help us understand this very important historical book that reveals the life of the early church. But Acts is much more than an excellent history book, it's also an account of the work of the Holy Spirit in birthing and growing the early church. This is a great lesson that's a good beginning to a soul stirring study.

We now come to the final lesson from the Gospel of Luke. This is about Christ resurrection, ascension and sending out His followers to make disciples of all nations. Jesus told those disciples to first go into Jerusalem and pray until the power of the Holy Spirit fills them and that's where this Gospel ends, and the Book of Acts picks up. Guess what next book of the New Testament that we will study next?

We are now fully immersed in Christ's resurrection. There are two accounts that we will spend some time studying in this lesson. The first is the role some prominent women played in announcing our Lord's resurrection. And second, how the resurrected Savior revealed Himself to two disciples. This is a wonderful portion of Scripture to study.

In this lesson from the Gospel of Luke we will study the final moments of Christ's death, His burial and when the stone was rolled away. This is an exciting message and is sure to challenge and encourage you.

We now come in our study of the Gospel of Luke to the hill called The Skull, otherwise known as Golgotha or Calvary, where Jesus was crucified. We will see the people mocking Him, but we will also see a wicked man become the first convert of the crucified Savior. This is a moving message so don't miss it.
