Paul address the hostile crowd in Jerusalem by once again sharing his story. We each have a story to tell, and Paul continues to tell his story with God as the main character. May we tell our stories to the glory of God and that more may know the goodness of Him.

As Paul finds himself in more and more danger wherever he goes, he heads back to Jerusalem, ready to face prison or even death. This would be the beginning of a series of trials that would mark the final steps of Paul's journey as he reaches to the end of the Earth, as he makes his way to Rome. Obstinate in the face of opposition, Paul continues to make much of Jesus whatever the cost may be.

Paul moves on from Ephesus to encourage other churches. Along the way he preaches and teaches wherever he finds himself. One such sermon proved deadly as a young man both fell asleep and fell out a window.

In Ephesus the gospel proves to be disruptive to the old way of life. The whole city is brought to a boiling point for fear of their economy, idolatry, and way of life coming to an end. The Gospel upends everything and confronts the idols of our hearts.
