Exploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapter 19 - Evaluating Church MotivesScott Allen leads today's lesson from Acts 9:8-20. Paul continues his third missionary journey by returning to Ephesus after revisiting the cities closest to Antioch. A two-year ministry flourishes with confirmation in the form of miraculous healings and power over evil spirits. When a family of unbelieving Jewish exorcists tries to leverage Paul and Jesus against demonic forces, everyone learns an important lesson: knowing about Jesus is not the same as personally knowing Him. As a result, God is feared, Jesus is honored, and genuine revival is demonstrated through repentance.
2024-10-2750 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapter 18 - Doing Church TogetherScott Allen leads today's study from Acts 18:1-11, 18-21. Paul travels south from Athens to share the gospel in the busy trade city of Corinth. We get a peek behind the scenes as Paul leverages the support of his teammates to make more and more of an impact in the center of Greece (Achaia). Although Paul again encounters fierce resistances from Jews unwilling to accept Jesus as the Messiah, we see how he channels his time and efforts into a blooming ministry which God allowed to continue for a year and a half. Then Paul leaves, which marks the...
2024-10-2047 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapter 15/16 - The Church's WorkScott Allen leads today's lesson from Acts 15:36-41 and Acts 16:1-10. After the all-important council of Jerusalem, Paul begins his second missionary journey. From the start, he has to navigate common ministry challenges including contention, controversy, and confusion. As Paul overcomes these challenges, we learn about the who, the how, and the where of ministry. For followers of Jesus, these answers are not as complicated as we often try to make them! Listen in and let's see what we can learn from Paul's example.
2024-09-301h 00Exploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapter 14 - The Church's Truth and LightScott Allen leads today's study from Acts 14:8-23. Paul completes his first missionary journey by visiting Lystra and the Derbe, then returning to confirm the new believers in each recent city on his way back to Antioch in Syria. But a roller coaster of events awaits Paul as he preached along the countryside of Lystra. First a miracle, then a mistaken identity, then a misappropriation of God's glory, then a malicious attack... but at the end of it all, the mission is accomplished and a gospel harvest is produced.
2024-09-1551 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapter 13 Part 2 - The Church's TaskScott Allen leads today's lesson from Acts 13:42-52. After sharing the message about Jesus at the Jewish synagogue in Antioch of Pisidia in modern day Turkey, Paul and Barnabus manage several twists and turns due to varied reactions. When most of the town gathers for the next Sabbath day, we see how Christians can navigate these varied responses and serve the Lord with joy in the face of persecution and opposition.
2024-09-0847 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapter 10 - An International ChurchScott Allen leads today's lesson from Acts 10:34-48 and the preceding verses. The church at Jerusalem was growing, and the message was spreading from region to region. Some church members were Hebrew Jews and others were Hellenistic Jews, but membership was still entirely Jewish. But God had always intended to bless and save people from every nation, tribe, and tongue through the Messiah Jesus. It wasn't until Peter received a thrice-repeated vision that he finally understood. He preached, the audience believed, and God confirmed the first mass conversion of the Gentiles through His Holy Spirit. It was clear that...
2024-08-1849 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapter 9 Part 1 - A Called ChurchScott Allen leads today's lesson from Acts 9:1-16. Saul has established himself as the arch-enemy of the church. How will the church respond as Saul wreaks havoc, imprisoning and threatening believers with full authority from the Jewish leaders in Jewish communities in Judea and even beyond? Yet it is God, not Saul, who is sovereign over the affairs of men. The Lord Jesus himself interrupts Saul's journey on the road to Damascus, and thus begins one of the greatest plot twists of all time. Jesus not only stops the enemy of the church in his tracks. Jesus enlists this...
2024-08-0449 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapter 6 - A Serving ChurchScott Allen leads todays lesson from Acts 6:1-15. Internal strife arose in the growing church. The apostles took a balanced and wise approach that paved the way for unhindered ministry and service opportunities for believers like Stephen. Things were going so well that an old enemy began to stir up trouble. Stephen's life began to parallel that of Jesus, which is the ultimate compliment for any believer.
2024-07-2145 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapters 4/5 - An Accountable ChurchScott Allen leads an in-depth discussion of Acts 4:36-37 and 5:1-11. An exemplary believer named Barnabas is contrasted with the short but disturbing story of a married couple named Ananias and Sapphira. Why was this believing couple judged so severely by God when their actions were so similar to others? And what was the root cause of their willingness to employ deception, lie to church leaders, and effectively lie to God Himself? Do modern believers need to worry about what happened here? God's making of an example out of Ananias and Sapphira reveals that the answer to that question...
2024-07-0757 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapter 3 - A Ready ChurchScott Allen leads today's lesson out of Acts 3:12-26. Through a long-crippled man, God provided a golden opportunity for Peter to share the gospel with those attending the daily prayer times at the temple in Jerusalem. God used another miracle to get the people's attention, and Peter was ready to point people to the redeemer, share an offer of restoration, warn about a day of reckoning, and make sure his listeners knew that Jesus was the world's only remedy.
2024-06-2351 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenActs Chapter 2 Part 1 - An Empowered ChurchScott Allen leads today's lesson from Acts 2:5-16, 36-41. 50 days prior all Jews had gathered for Passover. Outside the city gates 3 thieves were crucified, but unknown to many, one of them was the Lamb of God. Now at the next required religious feast of Pentecost, the crowds once again flowed into Jerusalem. Soon an unexpected and miraculous occurrence made the crowds realize this was no ordinary feast day. God's Spirit was at work, and Peter took opportunity to share the gospel with thousands of people. Although guilt and wrath and judgment hovered over a people that had rejected Jesus...
2024-06-0952 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenGenesis Chapter 50 - Revenge or Forgiveness?Scott Allen leads today's lesson from Genesis 50:15-26. Jacob has died and his family has travelled from Egypt to bury him with Isaac and Abraham near the oaks of Mamre in the land of Canaan. Upon returning home, Joseph's brothers fear that Joseph will repay them for how they mistreated him during his youth. How will Joseph respond? These verses show us how Joseph's faith in God's promises informed his actions and helped establish a remarkable family legacy.
2024-05-2654 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenGenesis Chapter 41 - A Plan of Salvation RevealedScott Allen leads today's study from Genesis 41:14-21, 33-40. Joseph seems to have experienced repeated misfortunes in life that landed him first as a slave and now a forgotten prisoner, yet everything he supervises goes well. Has God been fair to Joseph? What is God's plan for Joseph? When a troubling dream indicates a national crisis for Egypt, Joseph is brought to Pharaoh's attention and God's plan to sustain life is revealed. From this we can draw assurance that through the unexpected ups and downs of life we can rely on God's guidance and care.
2024-05-1255 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenGenesis Chapter 32 - Wrestling for a BlessingScott Allen leads today's lesson from Genesis 32:21-32. Returning home more than two decades after stealing his brother Esau's blessing, Jacob was alarmed to hear that Esau was approaching with a company of 400 men. Seemingly defenseless, Jacob sent an array of gifts to appease Esau and then divided his family into two camps and send them across the Jabbok River. Jacob was alone, except for a mysterious stranger. Jacob had been preparing to meet his brother Jacob, but it was an encounter with God he needed most as Jacob learned about seeking God's favor.
2024-04-1445 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenEaster Lesson - John 20 - A Savior to BelieveScott Allen leads a timely investigation of the resurrection story through the eyes of Mary Magdalene, Simon Peter, and John the beloved disciple. Was the resurrection story a long-planned conspiracy? Is our faith just a religious fairy tale without supporting evidence? Is the gospel impersonal? Join us as we see what the Bible says about Easter Sunday.
2024-03-3150 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenGenesis Chapter 27 - A Deceiver PrevailsScott Allen leads this study, focused on Genesis 27:18-33, which completes the first chapter of the stories of Jacob and Esau. While it may seem strange that God would reward a trickster like Jacob, a deeper view reveals it was Isaac and Esau who were in rebellion against God's prior decision to extend His blessing to the world through Jacob's descendants, the future Israelites. This lesson encourages us that nothing, not even our own sinful choices, can thwart God's plans and God's calling.
2024-03-1755 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenGenesis Chapter 22 - A Substitute ProvidedScott Allen leads a study of Genesis 22:1-14. Isaac was the sole heir of Abraham and thus the child of promise. But did Abraham value the promise more than the God who promised? God puts Abraham's faith to the test for the benefit of all, foreshadowing the blessing of the Messiah that God would give for all nations.
2024-03-0354 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenGenesis Chapter 17 - Establishing a CovenantThrough several personal appearances, God made Abram remarkable promises regarding his descendants and their eventual promised land. Scott Allen leads today's study where God clarifies his covenant with Abram, renaming him Abraham, establishing a physical sign of the covenant and narrowing those who qualify for the promises.
2024-02-1854 minExploring the Bible with Scott & KenGenesis Chapter 4 - The First MurderScott Allen leads today's study over Genesis 4:1-15. The first pair of sons led to the first sibling rivalry and the first homicide.
