God's ways are not man's ways. So it follows His justice will be different. Just remember to not get between God and those upon who He is visiting judgement and you will do just fine. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

God doesn't use the qualified rather he qualifies those he chooses to use. In our study of the Book of Acts if we learned anything it is that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things through His grace, love and power. Thanks for listening and please share.

A new man with a new name left that river Jabbok that morning because he had met with God. A new life, a new direction, a new hope. Why? Amazing Grace – my chains are gone. That song is my all-time favorite because it brought me to God. It will forever hold a place of supreme importance in my heart and life. Thanks for listening and please share.

To fail to plan to seek His face is to plan to fail. Leaving Him out of our plans is the path to ruin. Read again 2 Chronicles 7:14 and make it personal this time. “I must change my wicked ways.” Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

Jacob got a second chance, a fresh start, a new life. All of us will need that at some point in our life. The outcome will change not only our direction but the destiny of many other people. Thanks for listening and please share.

Maybe our church business model needs to be revised. At some point the paradigm shifted from Acts and the Holy Spirit to marketing strategy and consumerism Christianity. Search the Book of Acts for the truth about church. Thanks for listening.

Jacob walked with a limp after wrestling with God but he was a changed man. His self-reliance was gone. Now he knows who he is and his need of God. He is a new man with a new name. Have you met God? Has he changed you? Thanks for listening and please share with your friends.

“You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit is come upon you and you shall be witnesses unto me…” (Jesus Acts 1:8). Discover your roots in this study of Acts. The believers of the early church were filled with the power of God. We need a visitation like what they experienced. Thanks for listening and please share.

Jacob wrestled with God beside the river “Jabbok” which means “to empty itself” which is exactly what Jacob was doing. Jabbok can also mean “wrestle” and so Jacob while wrestling with God must empty himself of self before God can use him.

Some say the church is no longer relevant. Perhaps the reason could be linked to the fact that Christians are not recognizable. They do not resemble those from the Book of Acts who "turned the world upside down" rather have blended into the culture formed by the world apart from God.

Summary: Something is definitely needed. Grin and bear it won’t get it. Embrace Pentecost. Disciples of Christ, Pilgrims, must be filled with the Spirit and follow Christ with joy.

Something is missing. Maybe we need to rediscover our roots. Let's go back to square one - the Book of Acts and see what the first NT Church looked like.

We all need a fresh Pentecost. Jesus said “Follow me” and he provided the power to do it ("Be filled with the Spirit" Ephesians 5:18). Lord, give us a few good men and women like Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Pilgrims discipleship is not optional. It is a basic requirement for followers of Christ.

Jesus and the prophets foretold the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that occurred on the Day of Pentecost. Their words indicate it was to be an experience not a debate. While it is important to study the Word there comes a point where we have to let go and let God. Thanks for listening and sharing.

Good news! Salvation is in stock and available right now. This is better than online shopping. Have you done things you are ashamed of and wished you could erase the very thought of them from your memory? Thanks for listening and sharing this message of hope.

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” the Apostle Peter said on the Day of Pentecost and 3,000 people got saved. That is the power of Pentecost manifested through a Spirit-filled witness. This is how God gets the job done. Thanks for listening and sharing.
