2/24/06 Miracles and Wonders

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Here is the information for this week's Bible study: Acts: 5:1, Arthur will lead

This week, we will study a rather controversial topic of Ananias and Sapphira's death because they lied to the Holy Spirit and kept money to themselves. I don't quite understand the rather extreme manifestation myself. Perhaps this could spark some interesting discussions...

God Bless,
Maria

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Here is the information for this week's Bible study: Acts: 4:23, Angela will lead

Once Peter and John were freed, they wasted no time, but continued to pray and invoke the Holy Spirit. We will find out how the works of the Holy Spirit has turned from giving boldness and wisdom to the believers in proclaiming the Good News, to that of creating selfless charity amongst the believers…

See you all on Friday.

God Bless,

    2/3/06 Peter's Message in the Temple

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

    Here is the information for this week's Bible study: Acts: 3:11, Lucia will lead

    We will continue to read about Peter's witness to the Israelites about how the lame man was cured through the power of the name of Jesus. His preaching and recount of Jesus' crucifixion by the ignorant crowd, centers around the theme of: "Ignorance leads to sins and repentence leads to forgiveness and Spiritual strength."

    See you all on Friday.

    God Bless,
    Maria
