When It’s Hard To Be Still
Pastor Kari Jacott
”It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who
belonged to the church, intending to persecute them.
He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the
sword. When he saw that this met with approval among
the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened
during the Festival of Unleavened Bread. 4 After arresting him,
he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four
squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out f
or public trial after the Passover.”

Gratitude, Repentance, and Encouragement
Pastor Kari Jacott
Now those who had been scattered by the persecution
Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only
among Jews. Some of them, however, men from Cyprus
and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks
also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus. The
Lord’s hand was with them, and a great number of people
believed and turned to the Lord.

Being Included

”At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion
in what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family
were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in
need and prayed to God regularly.  One day at about three in the
afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God,
who came to him and said, “Cornelius!” Cornelius stared at him in f
ear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked.”

When You Care Enough To Send The Very Best…
Pastor Kari Jacott
”As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the
Lord’s people who lived in Lydda. There he found a man
named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden
for eight years. “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals
you. Get up and roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up.
All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to
the Lord.”

The Most Unlikely of Converts
Pastor Kari Jacott
”Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats
against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and
asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that
if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men
or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As
he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven
flashed around him.  He fell to the ground and heard a voice say
to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
Acts 9:1-31

Reframing

Stephen The Truth-Teller
Pastor Kari Jacott
”Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power,
performed great wonders and signs among the people.
Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue
of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene and
Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia—who
began to argue with Stephen. But they could not stand up against
the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke. Then they secretly
persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak
blasphemous words against Moses and against God.”

Growing Pains
Pastor Kari Jacott
”In those days when the number of disciples was increasing,
the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the
Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked
in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the
disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to
neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on
tables.  Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among
you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom.”
Acts 6:1-7

When the Going Gets Tough…Then What?
Pastor Kari Jacott
”The apostles performed many signs and wonders among
the people. And all the believers used to meet together in
Solomon’s Colonnade. No one else dared join them, even
though they were highly regarded by the people. Nevertheless,
more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were
added to their number.”

Being and Building the Body
Pastor Steve Eng
”As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy
of the calling you have received.  Be completely humble and gentle;
be patient, bearing with one another in love.  Make every effort to
keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one
body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you
were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father
of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”

Which Of These Kids Are Doing Their Own Thing
Pastor Kari Jacott
”All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed
that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared
everything they had.  With great power the apostles continued
to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace
was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy
persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land
or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it
at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.”

Pleasing People vs God
Pastor Kari Jacott
”The priests and the captain of the temple guard and
the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they
were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed
because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming
in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. They seized Peter and
John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the
next day. But many who heard the message believed; so the
number of men who believed grew to about five thousand.”

Do You Believe in Miracles?
Pastor Kari Jacott
”One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time
of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from
birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he
was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.
When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for
money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said,
“Look at us!” So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get
something from them.”

Making a U Turn

”God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.  
Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father
the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and
hear.  For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,

until I make your enemies
    a footstool for your feet.””

Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven

to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.  All
of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues
as the Spirit enabled them.”
