GOD’S WORD FOR YOU ACTS 6:6-7 6 They brought these men before the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. This seems to be a kind of commissioning or rite of installation. It is not really ordination into the ministry, since these men were not called to preach the gospel but to “wait […]

God’s Word for You – Acts 5:41-42 The Name
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU ACTS 5:41-42 41 The apostles rejoiced as they left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be dishonored for the Name. 42 Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the gospel that Jesus is the Christ. The apostles were […]
