God and Grace

James Rochford
Acts 9:1-27

The conversion of Saul to Paul is one of the clearest pictures of God's radical grace. After his conversion we see another picture of what it looks like to serve God under grace. Because of God's grace, this man went from seeking to imprison followers of Jesus to being one of Jesus' biggest influencers. Paul's life shows that God's grace is for anyone willing to accept it.

Stephen's Defense

James Rochford
Acts 6:7-7:58

Stephen, the first martyr, is brought before the Sanhedrin to give his defense. He uses Abraham, Joseph, and Moses as examples to explain that God is at work outside of "Holy places, spaces and races". Putting God in a box results in 1) a diminished view of God; 2) hypocrisy; 3) distraction and confusion; and 4) idols which replace and confine God.

Hypocrisy

James Rochford
Acts 4:36-5:14

As the church is growing Satan attempts the tactic of hypocrisy to bring the growth to a halt. It is easy to judge Ananias and Sapphira for their hypocrisy, however, if we're honest we can see ourselves in them. In this teaching we learn 4 aspects of hypocrisy: 1) definition of hypocrisy; 2) problems with hypocrisy; 3) identifying hypocrisy; 4) battling hypocrisy.

Christian Confidence

James Rochford
Acts 3:1-4:31

In these chapters, we see a case study on Christian confidence through Peter and John's interactions with the governing officials about healing a lame man. Five keys to confidence we learn from their example are: 1) don't take credit; 2) defend your faith; 3) be filled with the Holy Spirit; 4) commit to do good; 5) pray.
