In this topical teaching, Boynton Beach Campus Pastor, Duane Roberts, shares the importance of having a continually pursuing passion towards the things of God.

As we look at the last few chapters in the Book of Acts, we see that Christianity has been put on trial. Both the Jewish world and the Roman Empire are trying to figure out why, from city to city, the faith of this growing group of believers is turning the world upside down. Focusing on chapters 25 and 26, Pastor Doug shares a message centered around the gospel, that is as relevant to us today as it was in the first century.

This special night of worship celebrates God's generational faithfulness through the hymns.

Last week we journeyed with Paul on a collision course to Jerusalem, not knowing if this mission would be his last. This week, we find Paul's faithful obedience to the will of God—confident in knowing that the court of man is in the hands of God.

As Pastor Joe Ferraro wraps up our series in 1 Peter titled, “Immovable,” we learn we are led well by our Shepherd—Jesus—and we should use Him as our model when leading our families and the people we influence.

In Acts chapters 21 and 22, we find Paul's faith challenged as he is driven by the Spirit to Jerusalem, despite being cautioned that it may cost his life. However, where God guides He also provides. Here we see God's practical provision as He gives Paul a faithful friend to journey with him, and later, deliverance from the hands of his accusers.

Using a frequently quoted verse from the Book of Proverbs as our backdrop, Pastor Doug gives a unique recap of our Acts series thus far. He used familiar, and much loved, examples to show how as we journey through life, God uses different catalysts to accomplish His purposes and our calling is our unique God-given assignment to do these things through faith. We will naturally try to plan our course, but the Lord truly establishes our steps.

In Acts 20, Pastor Billy shows us how faithful friends are a necessity when going through the storms of life. They can help us stay awake spiritually, remind us of God's grace after we fall, and keep our motivation to follow the Lord one of servanthood as opposed to self-seeking. When you serve the Lord continually, in His grace and with the right motivation, you will see that nothing else can do what the Word of God can do.

We learn from Peter's instructions to the early church that God wants to use suffering to reveal His glory in us. Though the Devil may try to discourage us during our trials, we need to resist him and stand firm in God’s power and love.

Idol worship was running rampant everywhere the Apostle Paul carried the Gospel. As Boca Campus Pastor Jerry Sander teaches through our Bible study series in Acts, we learn the obstacles to the Gospel first century Christians faced were not unlike the obstructions present day believers deal with.
