Peter defended himself before the council regarding healing a man in the name of Jesus. In his defense, Peter told the council that they had crucified Jesus, but God had raised him from the dead, as demonstrated by Jesus healing the man standing before them. Unable to deny their role in Jesus' death or the man's healing, the council could not refute that God had raised Jesus, resulting in their silence.

On the Eucharist
This document discusses the challenges of the Eucharist for Filipino Catholics. It explores the Eucharist as presence, memorial, meal, and sacrifice. While Filipinos are very spiritual, there is sometimes a disconnect between spiritual life and daily life. The Eucharist calls Catholics to integrate worship with their struggles and not keep God separate from their worldly lives. It challenges contemporary culture's focus on individualism, hatred, hopelessness, and putting a price on things. The Eucharist offers mystery, love, hope, thanksgiving, and real presence. It reminds Catholics to offer their whole lives as worship and live the example of Christ's sacrifice.
Christology the Doctrine of Jesus Christ
This document provides an introduction to a 14-part course on Christology, the doctrine of Jesus Christ. The course will cover Jesus' pre-existence, messianic claims, deity, incarnation and virgin birth, humanity, miracles, death, resurrection, ascension, present ministry, and second coming. The introduction discusses the centrality of Christ in Christianity and provides an outline of the topics to be covered. It also explains the meaning behind Jesus' name in both English and its original Hebrew/Greek forms.
The Holy Eucharist - Explained
- The Holy Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion or the Holy Mass, is the most important sacrament that was instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper.
- It involves symbolic rituals using bread and wine to recall the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, known as the Paschal Mystery.
- The Mass follows a standard structure including the Liturgy of the Word, presentation of offerings, consecration of the Eucharistic elements, communion, and dismissal.
The eucharist
The Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion, refers to Jesus Christ being truly present in the bread and wine through transubstantiation. According to Catholic doctrine, the bread and wine literally become the body and blood of Jesus during Mass. This is supported by several references in the Bible to prefigurations of the Eucharist, including Melchizedek's offering of bread and wine, manna from heaven, and the Passover meal. Jesus explicitly states that his flesh is "true food" and his blood is "true drink" during the Last Supper, intending his words to be understood literally.

Who Is Jesus Christ
The document examines evidence for who Jesus Christ claimed to be based on testimony from various sources. It discusses what people in Jesus' time said about him, including that he taught with authority and some believed him to be the Messiah. It also examines what Jesus himself claimed, including that he could forgive sins, was the Son of God and eternal. The document argues that either Jesus' claims were true, making him the Son of God, or he was a liar based on the eyewitness testimony and fulfilled prophecies about the Messiah.
Bible Alive Jesus Christ 003: "The Starting Point for Christology"
We explore the facts which are “rock bottom” which lead us beyond history into Christology proper, since they raise the meaning and significance of the “Jesus event”: 1) Jesus’ death on the cross and 2) the Easter kerygma. Learn about the origins of the Four Gospels. See the extra-biblical documents that record the execution of Jesus. Learn the pre-Pauline formula of 1 Corinthians 15:3b-5 and its ramifications. Read the “empty-tomb” narratives and discover their meaning.
Baptism for the dead
This document discusses 1 Corinthians 15:29 and the Mormon practice of baptism for the dead. It argues that judgment will be based on one's own actions, not those done by others on their behalf after death. While baptism respects those who have died, the Greek word "huper" in this verse refers to doing something "for the sake of" or "in honor of" the dead, not as a substitute for them. Ultimately, baptism is in honor of Jesus who died for believers' sins, not a way to save those who have died without accepting Christ.
Follow thou me
The document discusses Jesus' calls to follow him and commit fully through several Bible verses. It then outlines that these calls require the greatest love, a total commitment, and a personal commitment. It poses the question "Do you love me?" twice, implying the reader should examine their own commitment and love for Jesus.
There they crucified
This short document repeats the phrase "There They Crucified Him" six times, referring to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ as described in Luke 23:33 of the Bible. It focuses entirely on the location and action of Jesus being crucified.

The healing of a beggar
Peter and John were going to the temple when they came upon a beggar who had been lame from birth. The beggar asked them for money, and Peter said that he had no silver or gold but would give him what he had, which was healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Peter helped the man stand up, and immediately the man's feet and ankles were healed. He then entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
In his name
The sermon discusses Peter's speech at the temple where he heals a crippled beggar. Peter refuses recognition for the healing and instead reviews what happened. He then declares that through the resurrection of Jesus, the beggar was healed in His name. Peter extends reassurance to the people and requires repentance, promising restoration. He foretells of Jesus as the redeemer and says revelation was interrupted by the people's disbelief.
A church everyone should want to be a member of
This document describes the ideal characteristics of a church that everyone should want to be a member of based on Acts 2:42-47. The church worshiped together, showed reverence for God, shared possessions unselfishly, experienced joy, and actively evangelized to new people.
How three thousand were saved

Waiting in jerusalem
The Central Union Church of Christ document discusses how after Jesus' ascension, the disciples waited in Jerusalem with other believers. They strengthened relationships, prayed and praised God together, and stayed united. When Judas' position became vacant, they selected Matthias as a replacement according to the scriptures, to keep the number of disciples at twelve. The document encourages Christians to wait for Jesus together in worship and unity, and to learn from Judas' example.
The book of life
The document discusses the biblical concept of the Book of Life, which is described as the registry of those who are saved and whose names are written in heaven. The Book of Life contains a precise list of the righteous and is referenced in passages about the final judgment, where those not found written in the book will be condemned to the lake of fire. The document encourages readers to make sure their own names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life in order to gain entrance into heaven.
Jesus and his last day on earth
The document summarizes chapter 1 verses 1-11 of the book of Acts. It discusses Jesus reviewing his time on Earth with the apostles after his resurrection and promising them the coming of the Holy Spirit and establishment of his kingdom. Jesus promises the apostles that the kingdom will be universal, not confined to Israel. He then ascends to heaven, with the apostles receiving two confirmations that Jesus completed his work and teachings about the kingdom.
The greatest sequel ever written
The document discusses how the Book of Acts is the greatest sequel ever written. It was written by Luke, a physician, as a follow up to his gospel. Luke wrote both works addressed to Theophilus, a patron, in order to provide an accurate and orderly account of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the early Christian church. The purpose was to give Theophilus certainty about the teachings he had received.
Tell the good news
The document discusses the importance of evangelism and sharing one's faith according to several Bible passages. It notes that over 100,000 people die every day without Christ and cites verses showing Jesus' command to spread the gospel message to all nations. The document expresses an sense of obligation and reward for fulfilling the Great Commission through saving others, as one must not come to Heaven alone but must help others find salvation as well.
Remove your nagging fear
The document discusses how to remove nagging fears and know for sure about salvation. It explains that feelings are uncertain and can produce false confidence or concern. True confidence depends on the Spirit's testimony rather than speculation, and is based on knowledge of what the Spirit commands rather than past accomplishments or failures. Walking in the light through obedience to the Spirit's commands allows one to have assurance despite an inability to remember or recount past good deeds.
What kind of sinner are you
The document discusses different types of sinners, including ignorant sinners who sin out of lack of knowledge, willful sinners who sin deliberately, sinners who make excuses for their sins, religious sinners who focus on outward appearances rather than the heart, and neglectful sinners who fail to heed God's word. It also discusses that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory, but that sinners can be forgiven through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
Trying to measure god
The document is about how much God loves people. It discusses several Bible passages from Ephesians chapter 3 that describe God strengthening people with his Spirit so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith. It explores the breadth, length, depth and height of God's love, which surpasses knowledge. Finally, it emphasizes that nothing can separate people from God's love in Christ Jesus.
