A Simple Presentation of The Book of ACTS - Intro - Bro. Ernie Perez

Simple Discipleship - UNFILTERED

Today, we begin a new Series on SDU with Bro. John. "Ernie" Perez. Bro. Ernie is one of the most brilliant Bible Expositors I have ever met. We are privileged that he has agreed to come and give SDU Listeners & E3 School of Ministries Students an in-depth study into The Book of ACTS. In our M3 School of Ministries we offer Ministerial Licensing under the guidance of Bro. Ernie and Bro. Mark; both you will meet in this study.

In this Introduction, you will step into the fascinating world of early Christianity with Brother Ernie Perez's refreshingly straightforward exploration of the Book of Acts. Drawing from his 50+ years of ministry experience, Brother Ernie strips away theological complexity to reveal the powerful foundations of the Christian church.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever," Brother Ernie reminds us, challenging the notion that today's church should operate differently than the one we see in Acts. If our Savior hasn't changed, why should His church? This core insight frames a discussion that will transform how you understand Christian community and practice.
Brother Ernie doesn't just teach about Acts—he provides practical tools for your own Bible study journey. His four principles for interpretation offer a roadmap anyone can follow without needing expertise in biblical languages or history. These simple yet profound guidelines empower you to discover biblical truths for yourself rather than depending solely on others' interpretations.
Perhaps most provocatively, Brother Ernie challenges our modern church governance models by highlighting that the early church functioned as a Spirit-led theocracy rather than a human democracy. "God's church is not a democracy," he states, inviting us to reconsider how authentic church leadership should operate under divine guidance rather than popular vote.
Experience miracles, witness the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and discover the original blueprint for Christian living in this powerful introduction to Acts. Whether you're a long-time believer or new to faith, this teaching will deepen your understanding of what it means to be part of Christ's church as it was originally intended.
Ready to rediscover the vibrant, Spirit-filled Christianity of the first believers? Join us for this illuminating journey through Acts, and prepare to have your perspective transformed by timeless biblical principles presented with clarity and conviction.

I would love your feedback and topic suggestions!
