Scars, Stones and Staying Power
In Acts Chapter 14, the mission continues through Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. Miracles happen; a man lame from birth is completely healed in Lystra! But things take a wild turn. The crowd tries to worship Paul and Barnabas as Greek gods, and when the apostles stop them, mob mentality takes over. Opponents arrive from other cities, poison the crowd's minds, and stone Paul until they think he's dead. But as the disciples gather around him, Paul gets right back up, goes back into the city, and keeps strengthening the believers!

Sent Out and Stepping Into Assignment
Acts Chapter 13 marks a huge turning point in the book of Acts. Up until now, the church has been mostly responding to events, but here during a time of fasting and worship the Holy Spirit says, " Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." NIV so and Paul launch out on their first major mission trip. They face spiritual opposition, high praise and fierce jealousy. Welcome and thank you for listening! 🎧 Sister Glenda @ www.vitalhope.co

No One is Beyond God's Reach
It is easy to place people into categories. Some seem easy to love. Others seem difficult to understand. We may even assume that certain people would never be interested in God. Acts Chapter 10 reminds us to leave those judgments behind. Let's open God's word and discover how God broke down barriers so that all people could know His saving grace.

From Persecutor to Preacher
Have you ever looked at someone and thought, "There is no way that person will ever come to the Lord?" Acts Chapter 9 reminds us why we should never give up praying for anyone. Saul was feared by Christians. He persecuted those who followed Jesus. If anyone seen beyond hope it was Saul. Yet God saw something different. Let's open God's word and discover the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Welcome and thank you for tuning in! Sister G @ www.vitalhope.co

Growth Brings Responsibility
What happens when God's blessings grow so quickly that new challenges begin to appear? Acts Chapter 6 shows us that even the early church based problems and disagreements problem yet instead of allowing those challenges to divide them, they trusted God for wisdom and continue moving forward and faith. Let's open God's word and discover how the church remain strong while continuing to grow. Welcome and thank you for listening! Glenda @ www.vitalhope.co 🎧
Obedience Over Fear
What happens when people fear God more than they fear people? Acts Chapter 5 reveals the seriousness of honesty before God, the courage to stand firm under pressure, and the powerful truth that when God is at work, no opposition can stop His plans. Let's open our hearts and turn to the above chapter. Welcome and thank you for tuning in! Glenda Coker @ www.vitalhope.co 🎧
