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.
Acts 18:18-23. I like my calendar. I like laying out a plan and then living out the plan. But sometimes God knows there are more important things than what I have planned. Let’s learn from Paul and lay our plans at the feet of the all-knowing creator.
Acts 18:1-11. How can God use your earthly skills for his glory? What might he do if you surrendered your organizing or writing or teaching to him for his use? If Paul can find in-roads through tent making, I bet God can use your skills too.
Acts 17:22-34. Growing where you’re planted is easier said than done. But God has put us all in a place, and told us to make disciples in that place. Who is he sending you to? And how are you uniquely prepared to reach them with the gospel?
Acts 17:1-10. So the last person you talked to about Jesus wasn’t the most receptive... We have to remember it’s not our job to save. It’s our job to be witness to Christ and let God to the rest.
Psalm 18. God is our trainer. He is preparing and equipping is to face the challenges ahead. He never abandons us but walks us through every valley of every shadow of death. Walk into the weekend with that confidence.
Acts 16:25-34. Jesus said broad is the way that leads to destruction but narrow is the way that leads to life. The world’s way is so much easier! But what gospel opportunities may be waiting for you on the more difficult, challenging path?
Acts 16:6-15. Good news. When Jesus said “go and make disciples” and “you will be my witnesses,” he didn’t leave that to our own imperfect abilities. He’s taking care of it, we just have to hear him and obey him. Easier said than done.
Acts 15:22-29. Whatever church you come from, we are unified by Christ. The apostles repeatedly address those in other “churches” as brothers and sisters. What can you do today, from your church to be unified as THE church?

How do you do that day to day in the real world? That's where we're headed. Thanks for joining us. I'd invite you to subscribe on Apple or Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts.
