Dear Theophilus: What Are We Becoming? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Acts 7.1-8.3 27 September 2026 In Acts 7, Luke gives us a remarkable picture of Stephen—not simply as a faithful believer, but as a disciple who has become like Jesus. In his teaching, his courage, his response to opposition, and even his death, Stephen reflects the character of Jesus. But Stephen’s story also raises a challenging question for us: What are we becoming? Discipleship is more than believing the right things or possessing the right religious signs. It is allowing the Holy Spirit to
Dear Theophilus: Don’t Let the Blessing Become the Barrier. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Acts 6.1-15 20 September 2026 In Acts 6, the early church discovers that even a Spirit-filled community can face conflict, inconvenience, and difficult problems. The question is not simply, “Am I right?” but “Who am I becoming?” Don't let God's blessings become barriers to following Jesus and carrying his kingdom forward.

Read excerpt
Acts 5.17-42 13 September 2026 What happens when the church has no political power, no cultural influence, and no ability to control the world around it? Acts 5 gives us an answer.

Dear Theophilus: The Presence and the Power (opens the original)
Read excerpt
6 September 2026 Acts 4.32–5.16 What happens when the presence of God becomes real among His people? Acts 5 gives us the sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira and reminds us that the presence and power of the Holy Spirit are not something to take lightly. God doesn’t simply want to empower us—He wants to transform us. As we seek more of God’s presence and power, we must also desire the character of Jesus to take deeper root in our lives. The early church was a community where people encountered
Dear Theophilus: We Can’t Help but Speak (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Acts 4:5-31 30 August 2026Peter and John were ordinary men, but they had been with Jesus. Now, standing before the same religious powers that rejected their Lord, they find themselves empowered by the Holy Spirit to speak with remarkable boldness. Their confidence wasn’t rooted in education, influence, or clever arguments, but in what they had seen and heard in their time with Jesus. Acts 4 invites us to become the same kind of people, so deeply shaped by Jesus and empowered by His Spirit that w
