The work of Christ will continue until he returns. He has given his Spirit to his church to be his witnesses in the world. The Book of Acts is the history of Christ’s work in the decades after the cross and resurrection. It ends with...
Discipleship did not end when Jesus was crucified. Jesus was raised from the dead and is alive. He has gathered and commissioned his disciples who follow him today. Our discipleship continues as we follow Jesus filled with his Spirit, as individuals who now form a...

God stands before us in Jesus Christ and says, “Here I am.” Now we must respond to him. In this chapter, we see two responses to God from two kinds of people that lead to two different outcomes. The rebellious turn from him and go...

This passage is another exposure of the foolishness and futility of idolatry, for idols become burdens to those who trust them. Again God is exalted as Sovereign, for he will accomplish all that he purposes. The people of God are repeatedly exhorted to trust him...
The LORD thunders forth his absolute sovereignty over all. He reveals his intentions to save his people and his unexpected means for doing so. He insists that he is right in doing what he does in the way he chooses to do it. He again...
