We continue our survey of the New Testament by looking at the books of 1 and 2 Thessalonians.

God Has Made Him Lord and Christ
Acts 2:22-36 Peter continues his defense of the gospel by telling the Jews about Jesus. He tells them that: * The Jews rejected and murdered Jesus * Jesus was not dead but had risen again * God had made Jesus King, Judge, and the only means of salvation.

The Last Days
Acts 2:14-21 Peter now interprets the outpouring of the Spirit which took place. We examine: * Paul’s defense of the disciples’ conduct * His confirmation that the event signals the start of the last days

The Coming of the Spirit
Acts 2:1-13 When the Spirit came upon the disciples, it was not something the Lord wanted to keep a secret. He came on Pentecost, when Jews from the entire known world were in Jerusalem, and came in such a way that His coming would not go unnoticed.

We continue our quarter of Bible survey by examining Paul’s letters to the Galatians and the Ephesians.

The Upper Room

Bible Survey: 2 Corinthians
We continue our quarter of Bible survey by examining Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians.

Wait for the Father’s Promise
Acts 1:1-5 In the book of Acts, we have an account of the life of the early church. In these early verses, Luke sets the scene and explains what the book will cover.
