#41 In the Name of Jesus - A Breakthrough for Peter & Paul

#43 In the Name of Jesus - Paul goes to Greece

We dive into Paul's first journey to into Europe. He begins in Macedonia. And then makes his way to Thessalonica with a well known stop in Athens. Paul has a specific formula that he follows on his journey. On each stop, things start out pretty well but then seem to quickly turn against him. Why is this and what can we learn from his approach?  For https://word.innerarmor.us/FREE Study Guides https://word.innerarmor.us/and previous lectures available for purchase visit www.word.innerarmor.us Send all questions to logosuncovered@gmail.com

#42 In the Name of Jesus - To the Outermost Parts

In this episode we examine the effort made by Barnabas and Paul to take the gospel to the cities and towns outside of the Judea/Samaria area. What approach do they take? What kind of reception do they receive? And what's the impact of their effort to preach the name of Jesus and what can we learn from it?  For https://word.innerarmor.us/FREE Study Guides https://word.innerarmor.us/and previous lectures available for purchase visit www.word.innerarmor.us Send all questions to logosuncovered@gmail.com

#41 In the Name of Jesus - A Breakthrough for Peter & Paul

Breakthrough moments can occur at unexpected times. And this was certainly the case for Peter and also for Paul even though both circumstances were quite different. Paul has been waiting and patiently going about his business in Tarsus some 15 years after his life changing encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. And then he gets an unexpected visit from Baranabas that would change his life and history as well. Peter on the other hand, still hanging around Jerusalem (not fulfilling the commission), needs a literal breakout to get him going.  For https://word.innerarmor.us/FREE Study Guides https://word.innerarmor.us/and previous lectures available for purchase visit www.word.innerarmor.us Send all questions to logosuncovered@gmail.com

#40 In the Name of Jesus - Peter Gets Back to Work

We pick back up the story in Acts of Peter, who like the rest of the apostles, has not ventured outside of Jerusalem. And as a result, the church has adopted an inward focus and is being persecuted by the religious authorities. But then Peter branches out and gets outside of the Jerusalem bubble. And some very interesting things start to happen... in the name of Jesus of course.  For https://word.innerarmor.us/FREE Study Guides https://word.innerarmor.us/and previous lectures available for purchase visit www.word.innerarmor.us Send all questions to logosuncovered@gmail.com

#39 In the Name of Jesus - Embrace the Journey

We continue our journey through the book of Acts. The early chapters, the church led by Peter, James and John is still in Jerusalem - NOT fulfilling the great commission of taking the gospel to the uttermost parts. So God looks for a new messenger to do it. And he picks one of the last people on the planet that anyone would expect to be "God's guy"... Saul - infamous persecutor of the church. Saul's transformation into Paul, a believer in Jesus, occurs rather suddenly. But his impact on the world with his message of the gospel is NOT as sudden as one might. In fact it takes significant time for Paul learn how to walk in the power of the name of Jesus. For Paul, complete transformation didn't happen overnight. And it likely won't for us as either. So be patient and buckle up!
