In Acts 5, we encounter the seemingly harsh and unsettling story of a married couple who are struck dead as a result of not giving money to the apostles. What is at the root of this story?

[book of acts] Part 2: Jumping off the High Board
So what prevents us from sharing and telling others about the love and transformation of Christ? Perhaps a primary source is fear. We have much in common with the 11 disciples that received Jesus’ words in Acts. They probably feared being “witnesses”. And they probably feared being witnesses in the city of Jerusalem.

Lent_At His Feet
In John 11 Jesus said, "I am the Resurrection and the Life." What did that mean? And do we believe He is? The writer John describes a story that should cause us to believe Jesus as the Resurrection and Life. He does this through three primary characters: Martha, death and Mary.
