Acts 22:1-21. What is your story and where does Jesus fit? If it’s true what the Bible says that “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation,” what makes you different? Think about it today so that you’ll be ready when God gives you your audience, whether it’s one or one thousand.

Acts 21:17-26. Anything can seem “impossible” until someone does it. Hearing what God is doing through others can be so encouraging and emboldening... Just as you’d tell someone to learn from your mistakes, what can be learned from your successes? What has God done through you that might inspire others?

Acts 21:1-16. Paul was ready to go to Jerusalem, fully aware it would likely cost him his life. Even that wasn’t enough to stop him because he had submitted completely to God. How do we reach that level of faith?

Acts 20:17-38. Paul prepares to leave the church leaders for good and he points them back to the cornerstones, the foundation of the church. What is your family of believers built on? How can we live with Christ as the framework?

Psalm 21. Even the king exalts God and gives him the glory for all that is accomplished. We don’t have to stress about our day to day. There is tremendous peace and joy in leaving those concerns at his feet because he has it under control.

Acts 10:1-16. Who have you given up on? Who would you consider a lost cause? We can’t know who God is “done” with, so even if we have moved on, we have to keep praying. Because God is able to save those we consider “lost causes.”

Acts 19:11-20. What needs burned in your life? Whether it’s actually something sinful or just a distraction, Satan is good about pulling our attention away from God. Sometimes it requires radical action to refocus. Are you willing?

Acts 18:24-28. If God is the one preparing us for our calling, equipping is for the mission he has given us, then we are all qualified. It’s not up to us to be “exceptional.” We serve an exceptional God.

Romans 3, Ephesians 2, John 3. What is the gospel? We’re off topic today walking it out, stating for the record what it means when we say “the gospel.” We’ll be back in Acts tomorrow.

Psalm 19. Don’t forget the God who is both your king and your Father, the judge and the good shepherd. Only God could do both perfectly. Praise him this weekend.
