On Sunday, June 11, 2017, we had a special service of worship and sharing in celebration of our Acts study. This podcast contains the stories and testimonies from the people of Northstar on that Sunday.

This is the last message of our Acts series. With Paul finally in Rome, his tale ends with him being under house arrest. How does his full life of ministry and mission to this point reveal a heart fully committed to Jesus? Listen in as we examine principles and challenges for living a life that writes the next chapter of Acts.

Acts 27 tells the harrowing adventure of Paul's journey to Rome by ship and how a massive storm on the Mediterranean almost claimed the life of the apostle and all on the ship. Paul was encouraged by an angel, shipwrecked and snake-bit, all in this message. What can we learn when life's storms get us down?

In Acts 25-26, Paul has an opportunity to share his testimony before a Roman governor and a King. He is called crazy for his views that Jesus is God. We learn principles for defending our own faith and being willing to be thought crazy for Christ.

In Acts 24, Paul is on trial before Felix, the Roman governor. Felix is a compelling example of somone with spiritual curiosity that never leads to spiritual commitment. What does it mean for a person to have saving faith?

This message from Acts 23:12-24:21 examines Paul's dtermined faith to share Jesus even from prison. His courage is a model for our own. In spite of appearances, Paul is not sidelined in prison, but God uses his faith to spread the Gospel through the writing of letters to the churches.

In this Palm Sunday message from Acts 22-23, Paul emphasizes hope and resurrection. It leads us to focus on Jesus as our ultimate hope for forgiveness and resurrection.

After completing his third missionary journey, Paul arrives in Jersualem. In this message, you'll learn how the resulting riot is actually caused by those who want God to make much of them rather than them making much of God.

Wrestling with tough decision? Struggling to determine God’s will?  How do you hear God’s voice? How do you take counsel? And in taking counsel, how do you boldly proceed in faith? This message examines Paul's bold confidence in pursuing God's will in his life, even when other believers try to convince him otherwise.

In this message from Acts 20:17-38, Paul's emotional farewell to the Ephesian elders has much to teach us about how to live our lives in love with Jesus and people. Paul's heart for tohers is dramatically portrayed as one of love.
