  • "A Simple Presentation into The Book of ACTS" - Chapter #8 - Part 1 - Bro. John "Ernie" Perez
    Jan 22 2026

    Bro. Ernie continues teaching us on "A Simple Presentation in The Book of ACTS in Chapter 8. Get your drink, your snack, your notebook and The Word and dive in!!!

    Pressure doesn’t just test faith; it redirects it. We pick up the story at Stephen’s death and watch the church scatter under a wave of persecution, only to see the gospel leap from Jerusalem into Samaria exactly as Jesus promised. Saul goes house to house with fury, yet the scattered believers go street to street with hope. That collision—between opposition and obedience—becomes the engine of a larger mission.

    Philip steps into Samaria with a simple message: Jesus Christ. The city leans in. Deliverance breaks out, the lame and paralyzed are healed, and unclean spirits leave with loud cries. Great joy follows real power. We unpack the difference between spectacle and the authority of Jesus’ name, and why belief naturally leads to baptism and transformed lives. Even Simon the sorcerer, long revered for supernatural displays, believes and is baptized when confronted with authentic Kingdom power.

    News reaches Jerusalem, and Peter and John are sent—not to control a move of God, but to strengthen and align it. Together we explore how apostolic care brings clarity, prayer, and unity, and how Acts 8 exposes thin versions of the gospel that skip repentance, the Holy Spirit, and obedience. Along the way we connect the text to now: stories of persecution that couldn’t silence witness, a call to courageous faith, and a practical path for seekers—repentance as a lifelong turn, baptism in Jesus’ name, and a community that prays for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

  • The Gospel of St. John - Chapter 1 - A Simple Presentation - Bro. John "Ernie" Perez
    Jan 16 2026

    This week, Bro. Ernie starts a brand new series on "A Simple Presentation into The Gospel of St. John". Personally one of my favorite! Get your notebooks ready! Unlike the other Gospels, John takes us on a journey to show the deity and lovingness of Jesus.

    What if the smallest word changes everything? We open a fresh study of the Gospel of John by tracing Jesus’ claim that the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father, then follow that thread across 2 Corinthians, Colossians, Timothy, Hebrews, and Acts. The aim is simple and demanding: believe on Jesus as the Scripture has said, not as culture, tradition, or preference might prefer. From living water in John 7 to life through His name in John 20, we explore how Scripture-shaped belief leads to receiving the Spirit, praying with authority, and expecting signs that follow believers.

    Along the way, we slow down for a human portrait of John. Likely the youngest apostle, called from nets into nearness, part of the inner circle at the transfiguration and Gethsemane, and the friend who leaned on Jesus’ chest at supper. That closeness did not blur his doctrine; it clarified it. John saw the humanity of Jesus and still wrote that He is the express image of God’s person. We reflect on why Jesus entrusted His mother to John, why rumors swirled that John might not die, and how John’s long witness formed a Gospel that blends affection, awe, and uncompromising truth.

    This conversation also equips you to study well. We share practical tools: use first mention to anchor symbols, read in context with covenant and audience in view, gather complete mention across Scripture, and pray with patience. Expect God to answer. Expect the text to shape your beliefs. Expect that calling on the name of Jesus is more than a tagline—it is a claim on power, identity, and mission. If you’re ready to trade vague inspiration for clear conviction and living water, grab your Bible and join us as we make John and Acts a daily rhythm. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves Scripture, and leave a review to help others find the study.

  • Q & A with Bro. John "Ernie" Perez & The Girls - Binkys, Bottles & The Word
    Jan 16 2026

    Join us girls "Around the Table" for a Q&A with Bro. John "Ernie" Perez as we discuss a wide range of topics relevant to Christian life today.

    Ever felt like church is a comfy couch when you need a training ground? We dive into what it really takes to grow up in faith: moving from spiritual milk to solid food, laying down the binky of soothing platitudes, and learning to hear God for yourself. With honest stories, scriptural insight, and a warm round-table of voices, we explore how love-led correction, private mentorship, and everyday relationships shape mature believers who can carry real responsibility.

    We trace the throughline from Abraham’s covenant to practical discipleship today—why alignment must come before assignment, how the law can be training wheels that yield to grace, and why testimony matters more than rule-keeping. You’ll hear vivid examples of “fruit inspecting” without shaming, the power of asking better questions—Did you pray? What did you find in Scripture?—and how the Spirit gently forms discernment so we can judge prophecy, resist trends, and protect our witness. Modesty, speech, and conduct show up not as checklists, but as choices that either point people to Jesus or to us.

    Most of all, we make a case for house-to-house discipleship over stage-driven religion. Growth happens at the table, on the porch, and in the aisle—where we listen, open the Bible, and walk with people through fear, failure, and new faith. If you’ve been stuck in comfort or craving courage, this conversation offers a path: repent, obey, build relationships, and keep your heart soft before God.

    If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more soul-stretching conversations, and leave a review with one takeaway you’re putting into practice this week. Your voice helps more people find a faith that matures. (*Recorded on 1/12/2026)
