   As we wrap up the book of Acts, we see that Paul zealously continues to preach the good news according to the scriptures and God continues to make a way for him to do so. Paul’s prison ride to Rome was nothing less than a missionary journey with freedom to proclaim the Lord Jesus. […]

   It amazes me the platform which God gave to Paul and as a prisoner that he was also allowed to be cared for by his friends.  As a matter of fact Paul subtly leads these men as he broke bread and gave thanks. All of these events were part of God’s plan to care […]

   As I read chapter 25 I can’t help but compare this event to what happened to Jesus. Paul was called to suffer in a similar fashion to his Savior. There were serious charges without proof as the means by which to accuse.  On the surface it is filled with injustice, but in the overall […]

   Even while Paul was accused, he took every opportunity to explain the gospel.  Though the intent of Felix may have being to get money from Paul, it didn’t curb Paul’s passion and willingness to share over the course of two years.  He pressed on fully trusting in Jesus, His finished work at the cross, […]

   Paul certainly had some enemies; ones that bound themselves under a curse to not eat or drink until they slay him. But God provided protection through his sister’s son.  Paul’s mission was not yet over and if God was for him, who could be against him? Read Acts 23:12-35 1) What do you observe […]

   Sometimes we have a tendency to forget that the “characters” of the Bible were real people with real fears and flaws. They needed encouragement in the same way you do; Paul included.   We see that he cleverly starts a disagreement between the Pharisees and Sadducees regarding resurrection which gets him safely away from […]

  Paul’s path and purpose became clear after his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.  Whether mocked, beaten, or scourged, he was unwilling to stray from his mission. The person of Jesus and the love shown by his finished work at the cross, has the power to save a soul and change the paradigm […]

  Paul’s brothers were seeing the hostile climate and were concerned for his well being. Paul clearly has a mission and will endure whatever is necessary, yet balances that with the wisdom of his brothers in Christ.   Read Acts 21:15-26 1) What do you see in the text? Who’s present? Where are they? Why […]

   You can almost feel the tension building in Jerusalem as Paul returns.  Culture, traditions and people’s way of life stirred up and at odds now concerning teaching from those who were part of The Way.  Read Acts 21:15-26 1) What stands out in the text? 2) What questions need to be answered so you […]
