In Acts 25, we see Paul’s life under pressure. The pressure of waiting, the pressure of accusation, and the pressure of death, and it is how he responds that we learn about how we respond when pressure comes.

In Acts 24, we look at Paul’s encounter with Felix. Paul does not compromise but continues to live out his faith with Jesus at the center. Felix is confronted with the gospel of Jesus for his own life and is not ready to respond in faith.

In Acts 23, we see one of the most difficult days of Paul’s life, and even though God does not deliver him from the pain, he stands by him in it.

In Acts 21:27-22:21, Paul uses his persecution as a platform to share his story of how Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God. But the question we must all answer is: Do I have a story? A story where I met Jesus and surrendered my life to him as my Lord and Savior?

Acts 21 begins by detailing Paul’s final journey towards Jerusalem. As he approaches, he understands what lies before him, and he has counted the cost and submits his will to the will of God, even if it means suffering.

In Acts 20, we unpack Paul’s last face-to-face with the leaders of the church in Ephesus and remind them of how he lived and how they should lead the church.

We examine the practice of the Lord’s Supper and how, in the early church, amidst challenges, diversity, and busy lives, the Lord’s Supper served as a regular reminder of what Christ did, is doing, and will do. An anchor to reorient our lives around Jesus and the Gospel.

We look at what happens when God’s hand is on a community and is moving in them and through them.

This week, we dove into John 11 and looked at how Jesus comforts us in the face of tragedy and pain with truth, tears, and sacrifice.

This week, we look at Acts 19:1-20 and the importance of being connected to the power source of Jesus as we live this not-so-ordinary life.
