PaulPeter'eter'xs Final Exam - Part 1 of 3
August 17, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBGod is going to have to open Peter's mind...slowly. During all of Simon's lifetime, and for many lifetimes before, what we call the "Old" Covenant was the only covenant. And it was an agreement between God, and the people of Israel, alone. It wouldn't be easy to get used to the idea of a covenant open to everyone. That old dog Peter was going to have to learn some new tricks.

Paul's Encounter With God - Part 3 of 3
August 16, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBThree days of darkness for Jonah - three days of darkness for Saul. Coincidence? True, the Apostle wasn't being digested by a fish for those three days! But he was doing some mental digesting of his own. And he was praying. Here's Pastor Jim with Part 3 of, Paul's Encounter with God.

August 15, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBWho is farthest from the Kingdom: A Samaritan? A foreigner? Or a religionist? Of course, the correct answer is "c," Saul of Tarsus, Hebrew-of-Hebrews, protégé of Gamaliel... enemy of God and man. The outsiders in Acts 8 were brought to Christ in the usual way, through human testimony. Saul would require a more direct approach.

Paul's EPauln''s Encounter With God - Part 2 of 3
August 12, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBWhen everything you know really is wrong. Very few are granted a moment like the one Saul had on his way to Damascus: an instant when his whole life was turned over. Suddenly, up was down, black was white. To be standing in front of the detested Nazarene, not dead but alive - and in all His divine glory and power - must have seemed like the end of Saul's life. And in a way, of course, it was. Our Acts series continues with the message, Paul's Encounter with God. Here's Pastor Jim to bring ...

The Limits Of God's Grace - Part 3 of 3
August 11, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBThe gospel is easy. Or hard. It's the same good news: There's forgiveness for all who will believe in Jesus, who took the punishment for our sin on the Cross. But to some it will seem harder than pushing a camel through the eye of a needle; to others it's as easy as receiving a gift. The difference is in the heart. Jim will contrast the hearts of 2 people we've met in Acts 8: Simon the Sorcerer, and the Ethiopian Eunuch. Here's Part 3 of, The Limits of God's Grace. Listen to Right Start Ra...

August 10, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBWho is the "Servant of the LORD?" In the scroll of Isaiah, Israel is identified as God's servant. And so is David. And the prophet, himself. But when we get to what we call Chapter 53, we see a Servant who could not be any of those; One who bears the sins of others. And that's the section that the Ethiopian Eunuch was reading when a man named Philip ran up. Let's jump in at Acts 8, verse 26, for the middle part of Jim's sermon, The Limits of God's Grace.

The Limits Of God's Grace - Part 1 of 3
August 09, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBGod saves some people to show us that He can! In Acts 8 the Lord sends Philip to a specific man, and thoroughly orchestrates his conversion. He was definitely a foreigner. And he was a eunuch, but a politically powerful man; no doubt a rich man. He was just about as far away as he could be, demographically, from the average Christ-follower at the time. God seems to be making a point.

Meet Philip - Part 2 of 2
August 08, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBThe Samaritans proved to be a receptive audience, but there was one problem. And that problem was a person. This guy is known outside the Bible as Simon Magus, or Simon the Sorcerer. He must have astounded the people with tricks that looked like miracles. But when he witnessed the Holy Spirit being given through the hands of the Apostles, he knew he was seeing a real miracle. And even though he'd been baptized, he was still seeing through his old, sorcerer's eyes. We're in Acts, chapter 8 w...
Meet Philip - Part 1 of 2
August 05, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBThe gospel goes where it's welcome - even to the "wrong side of the tracks." Give the religious elite of Israel their due: they were consistent. They "let their No be No." They refused to listen to John or Jesus or Peter or Stephen. There was no waffling, and no tolerance. It was their way or the highway. But once the Christians were on the highway, the message could go out everywhere... just as the Lord said it would. Pastor Jim's new sermon is called, Meet Philip. Listen to Right Start...

That's the chink in the armor of all legalists, including the Sanhedrin. Stephen stood accused of blaspheming the Law of Moses, but now he's going to put the court on trial. Who was it, really, who was desecrating everything righteous and holy? Stephen's concluding words seem to convey the fury of a God who is fed up.

And his defense was to take his Jewish brothers back to first principles. What was the Temple? Had it been God's idea, or man's? Had the people - and the leaders in particular - made it into a kind of box for holding God? Was the Temple important because it honored Yahweh, or because it exalted Israel.

The prime example was Moses, but there were many others. Our man Stephen sharpens the point in Acts, chapter 7: "Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute?"

August 01, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBStephen is about to school the Sanhedrin. The subject was History, with quite a bit of Geography covered, as well. And it was all reviewed - the students surely knew every one of these facts as well as the teacher did. So what was the point of the lesson, then? Could it be that knowledge is nothing without insight? The Jewish ruling council would have gotten an "A" on one, and an "F" on the other.

Stephen - Part 2 of 3
July 29, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBToday we'll meet the first Christian theologian. We think of theologians as "bookworms" - scholars nestled deeply in their stacks of out-of-print volumes, only coming out to buy more highlighters and mint tea. Not so, Stephen! Here was a man who could explain the things of God, and live them in the marketplace - with divine confirmation! What did this giant of a man teach? Pastor Jim takes us further into the book of Acts today, with Part 2 of his message called, Stephen. Listen to Right ...
Stephen - Part 1 of 3
July 28, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBAh, the calm before the storm. At the end of the first section of the Book of Acts, the church is experiencing growth, radical generosity, and supernatural power. But then as now, darkness hates the light, and where the two meet there's an explosion. The catalyst for this particular blast is a man called Stephen. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am. Right...
Satan's Second Attack - Part 3 of 3
July 27, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBAdministration doesn't seem very important - until it's not getting done. It wasn't a doctrinal controversy or even a leadership scandal that threatened the solidarity of the new church; it was a supply chain issue! The solution was as elegant as it was effective. But Satan was attacking the church from outside, as well, through some of his most reliable human agents. Here's Jim with more from Acts.

Satan's Second Attack - Part 2 of 3
July 26, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBThe priests were apoplectic! The guards were gobsmacked! When rich and powerful people see their positions being undermined, they don't just sit around and wait for the collapse. They're people of action, and they expect their actions to get results. So when the religious rulers of Judea saw their fiefdom in danger, they did whatever they could to preserve it. It's just that jail bars aren't much good against angels!

Satan's Second Attack - Part 1 of 3
July 25, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBFaith, filling...and fear? It's a very common mistake to read about some event in the Bible, and try to make it a rule. If we do that with the description of the infant church in Acts 4 and 5, we'll quickly hit some land mines, and our new dogma will blow up in our faces. Luke is reporting, not prescribing, and Jim will help us understand the wider context. He'll start with prayer, then advance our Acts study with Part 1 of a message called, Satan's Second Attack Listen to Right Start Radi...
An Intimate Look Within The New Church - Part 3 of 3
July 22, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBOh, you had to be a big shot - didn't you? From pop song lyrics, I'll turn to the poet T.S. Eliot, who said, "Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important." That's the phenomenon we'll see played out in Acts, chapter 5, today. Ananias and Sapphira wanted the approval of men without paying the price, and forgot about the approval of God. But Jim has taken us back to John chapter 12 to show us the opposite example, in the person of Mary of Bethany. Li...
An Intimate Look Within The New Church - Part 2 of 3
July 21, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBWhen "what's in your wallet" is the same as what's in my wallet...because it's the same wallet. It's easy to proclaim our love for Christ, but what happens when that claim gets tested in the pocketbook? That's why the new Christians "having all things in common" in Acts, chapter 4, was such a profound witness to both Jews and Gentiles. What were the conditions and the underlying assumptions of this arrangement? That's what we'll investigate on today's program. Here's Jim with more of, An I...
An Intimate Look Within The New Church - Part 1 of 3
July 20, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBWhen the Holy Spirit arrives, He brings boldness! In a sermon called, An Intimate Look Within the New Church, we'll see several marks of the Spirit's work. He brings unity among the brothers and sisters; He sometimes comes with a physical sign - "the place where they had gathered together was shaken" - and He supplies the courage to testify of Jesus. He'll put the Christ in our Christianity, if we'll let Him. Jim starts the message by reading the words of gospel music pioneer Thomas A. Dors...
The Parable Behind The Promise - Part 3 of 3
July 19, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBWhat happened to miracles? We spent some time recently investigating "What Happened to the Kingdom?" Today Jim will take a quick detour from our study in the Book of Acts to think about all the miracles we see there, and why they're much rarer today. We'll think about the purpose of signs and wonders, their limitations, and even about their counterfeits. Luke has given us most of the answers we're looking for, right there in the text. Here's Pastor Jim to bring us the third-and-final segm...
The Parable Behind The Promise - Part 2 of 3
July 18, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBFor their disobedience, God exiled Judah for 70 years. Imagine what they would have to do, to be banished for 19 centuries! On Friday we began to see that Peter's apparently random encounter with a lame man in the Temple, had great significance for Israel. The nation had brutally rejected their Messiah. But now, unimaginably, the King was extending His invitation one more time. And Jesus had foretold both the offer and the outcome in a parable. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday t...
The Parable Behind The Promise - Part 1 of 3
July 15, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBThe Parable Behind the Promise. In Acts 4, Peter makes some promises on behalf of God. One in particular should have sounded familiar to those who had heard Jesus' parable about the Wedding Feast. We'll compare notes from Luke and Matthew today in the first of three parts of this message. Jim opens with prayer.

Power Of The Threat - Part 3 of 3
July 14, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBWhat can you do when you're wrong, and everyone knows it? If you said, "Fess up, eat some crow, repent!" you came up with a different answer than the Jewish rulers did. When they couldn't deny that a miracle had occurred in the Temple, in the name of Jesus, they threatened the Apostles. Thankfully, the Christians did not respond in kind. Instead of forming a political party, they prayed. Jim's in Acts, chapter 4. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cin...
Power Of The Threat - Part 2 of 3
July 13, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBIt's a showdown of Religion, versus Life! There's a rumble in the Temple between the PhDs of Rote and Ritual, and some untrained fishermen. But hold on a minute: the Apostles weren't uneducated. They had spent three-and-a-half years in the university of the gospel, taught by the Author of the Scriptures. That illustrates the difference in the two approaches; one formalistic and dead, one personal and living. Jim's in Acts 4 for the second piece of his sermon, Power of the Threat Listen to...
Power Of The Threat - Part 1 of 3
July 12, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBThe Jewish leaders were not amused. The translators say they were "annoyed," "disturbed," "vexed, "indignant" - that Peter had preached the resurrection of the dead. With an Example! They were clutching their pearls! Surely, they thought, this whole "Jesus business" had been dealt with. Today we open a new series right where we left off, with Peter preaching in the Temple.

Peter's Sermon - Part 3 of 3
July 11, 2022 05:00 - 22.8 MBTimes of refreshing are coming. Restoration is coming. Jesus is coming! It all hinges on the response of the Jews to their true King. But Gentiles won't be left out.
