Acts Chapter 3
While Peter and John were going to the Temple to pray, they meet a man who was lame from birth, panhandling at the Temple gate. While they did not have money, they gave him more than anyone could imagine. We discuss how Peter then uses this moment to declare many truths to unbelieving Jews, using this man, along with Old Testament prophecies, as evidence.

The Holy Spirit comes down, and those in the upper room are baptized in the Holy Spirit, as God had promised. What is this Baptism of the Holy Spirit and what is the effect on those who receive it? There were various gifts given to them, which we will discuss and make clear as to what they were. We discuss these gifts, how they were manifested, and how the Jewish leadership responded. And we discuss the major benefits to the Church then and today of this baptism.


Some Jews began teaching that Gentiles could not be saved unless they were circumcised. Paul and Barnabas challenged them, and ultimately this dispute
was brought before the Church in Jerusalem where the decision was made stating circumcision was not required due to references in the Old Testament, which
presentated by James. Paul, who was in Antioch, spoke with Barnabas regarding meeting with the bretheren in all the cities the ministered in, to see how
they were doing. Barnabas wanted to take John Mark with them, but Paul said no, so Mark went with Barnabas and Silas went with Paul.
