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 […]
With his life hanging in the balance, Paul continues to share the gospel using his gifts, talents, resources and experiences with all who will listen. His heart clearly desires that others know, live, and speak the truth. Read Acts 26:1-32 1) What stands out to you? 2) What questions or challenges need to be […]
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, […]

With a mighty hand and outstretched arm the LORD brought all things into being. With those hands He formed you and I and breathed life into us. Out of nothing, He created something magnificent. With outstretched arm, He led His people out of bondage in Egypt and into the freedom of the Promised Land. […]

Paul, himself, teaches that the grace of the Lord was more abundant with faith and love in Christ Jesus (vs. 14) and that Jesus might demonstrate His perfect patience for those who would believe(vs. 16). Paul believed and trusted […]
