Welcome to Youngsville Free Methodist Church

You’ve got to be kidding me.   I cannot believe how this chapter begins, or how it ends.

So, this guy brings a substantial offering to the Apostles, who then scold him, and he drops over dead.  What?

After I read the last part of this chapter I began thinking that Christianity was a lot like communism.  Was I ever wrong…Here’s what I found out.

I can’t believe it!  It really is all about location, location, location!

I did a quick word study on the phrase “poured out” and here’s what I discovered.

As I read through these verses a third time, more slowly than at first, I noticed several things that hadn’t seemed important before.

Why in the world would John mention 5 disciples by name and then say “and two others”.  Why not say their names?

Should women be in pastoral ministry?   And, what does the resurrection have to do with that question?

We know the main theme of the resurrection story.  Today let’s listen and observe for the other “sub lessons”

How can there be two different endings to the same chapter?   Which one is original?  Who changed it?    It’s nothing quite that nefarious…here’s what happened.
