In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Acts 20. This chapter covers the final leg of Paul’s third missionary journey. After spending 3 years in Ephesus, Paul visits the churches in Macedonia and Greece. After a few months in Corinth, Paul backtracks to Philippi, Troas, and meets with the Ephesian leadership in Miletus. As we trace Paul’s final journey, we learn a lot about a man that treasured Jesus. We see what he valued most, where he spent his time, how he handled crisis, and what he talked about with his closest friends. These principles challenge us to ask, “Does my life look like I treasure Jesus?”

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Acts 18-19. These chapters cover the first leg of Paul’s third missionary journey. He begins the journey with a trip to the region of Galatia, and continues into Ephesus where he stays for over 2 years. While in Ephesus, he meets multiple people who struggle with their identity. This region is deeply rooted in magic, witchcraft, and the worship of Artemis. This lifestyle shapes their identity and hinders their new identity in Christ.

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Acts 16. This chapter covers the first leg of Paul’s second missionary journey. He begins with a visit to Lystra and follows the leading of the Spirit to Macedonia. During this entire trip, Paul models a valuable decision making strategy — what does Jesus want? Paul is not concerned with his own desires or plans, he wants to magnify Jesus above all else and make decisions that align with God’s will. As we make decisions in our daily life, big and small, Paul’s example is helpful to us.

In this message, Pastor Lyell teaches from Acts chapter 13. In this chapter, we read that Paul begins his first missionary journey. During his travels, he is confronted with several groups who oppose his teaching of the Gospel. What we learn from these encounters is that we, like Paul, must keep our eyes on Jesus when confronted by those who disagree with us or who oppose the Gospel. We must be those who are led by the Spirit and act out of love towards the “Bar Jesus’s” around us.
