Overcoming Our Past

Acts 24:10-15

God Directs Our Steps

Acts 24:10-13

When Paul faced great danger in prison, the Lord strengthened him with His presence and protected him through Hi providential works.

At his trials before the Sanhedrin, Paul's defense was based on his hope in the reality of the resurrection of the dead. Because Jesus has gone before us in death and resurrection, all of our hope rests in the reality that He has won victory over sin and death and those who trust in Him will be raised to new life forever with God.

Because we hope in our future resurrection, we live today with boldness and confidence, willing to risk everything for God's kingdom.

Paul

Acts 23:1

Acts 20-22

Paul followed the Holy Spirit's guidance to return to Jerusalem and trusted in the Lord no matter the danger he faced.

Paul's confidence in the midst of trying circumstances came from his faith that the God of his fathers was the God who had revealed His glory in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Paul believed that the faithfulness of God that was shown through the cross and resurrection of Jesus would sustain him through persecution and trial.

Because Jesus endured opposition to bring about our salvation, we courageously testify to the gospel, even when the cost of telling the truth is high.
