Imagine being so determined to disobey God that you would rather be thrown into a raging ocean in the middle of the sea than do what He told you to do. That is exactly where Jonah finds himself in this passage. 
Yet we will find that this story is not really about Jonah. It is about God, His character, and how He responds to us.

I find this passage very encouraging and believe as we study it, you will too.

When Paul was preaching the gospel, many people got angry. It wasn’t always because they disagreed with what he said. Sometimes it was because the gospel cost them money. 

Today in Acts 19 we see a group of silversmiths form a mob against Paul and we will consider how Big Tech companies operate the same way today.

A group of men heard of the name of Jesus. They knew his name had power. They tried to use His name. Then things went really badly for them. In Acts 19, we will see the difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing Him personally.

Some people may like correcting others (which is an issue in itself). Most of you, like me, probably do not enjoy confrontation or correcting others. But what do you do if you see another believer doing something wrong? Do you confront them publicly? Stay quiet? Should we even judge to begin with? Today’s passage in Acts 18:18-28 shows us a perfect example of how to respond.

We will see how Priscila and Aquila approach Apollos, who was preaching something very off.

We all face times when we are discouraged. Things don’t go as planned. We have health issues. We have problems at work. We have problems at home. Sometimes we are even trying to minister for God and we face opposition. We might be tempted to give up, to throw in the towel. 

When Paul was facing this kind of discouragement, God told Paul, “Do not be afraid.” “Go on speaking. “For I am with you.”

Today’s passage can encourage us and help us remember that no matter what difficulties we face, God is with us.

Have you ever known exactly what God wanted you to do, but you didn't want to do it? Jonah didn't misunderstand God's command. He deliberately went as far as he could in the opposite direction. Jonah was a prophet who is in rebellion. And what makes his rebellion especially shocking is why he did this.

Jonah is a very practical book. Join us for five lessons through this fascinating account of a reluctant prophet and a compassionate God. As you journey through, God will change you.

Imagine walking into a city filled with thousands of idols, where people worship completely different gods and have no biblical background. How would you share the gospel with them? Paul walked into exactly that situation in Athens, and what he did gives us a powerful model for sharing Jesus with people who think completely differently than we do.”

Today we will study Acts 17:16-34. We will see how Paul preaches of an unknown  God and how that still impacts us today.

“Here is one question every Christian should learn to ask: ‘Where does the Bible say that?’ Acts 17 tells us that even when Paul himself preached, the Bereans searched the Scriptures every day to see if what he said was true. What does this mean in the modern age of AI? Today we will find out.

In today’s study, we will also look at the fact that the Christian faith is reasonable and the importance of examining the Scriptures for ourselves.

Have you ever wondered why life sometimes gets harder when you're trying to obey God? You decide to read your Bible, and suddenly everything goes wrong. You commit to serving Christ, and unexpected opposition appears. Is that just coincidence... or is there something deeper going on?

In Acts 16, Paul wasn't looking for a fight with the devil. He was simply on his way to a prayer meeting. Yet within hours he confronted a demon, was beaten by an angry mob, thrown into prison, and chained in the darkness. But what looked like Satan's triumph was actually one more of God’s victories..

Today in Acts 16:16-40 we'll discover what this passage teaches us about spiritual warfare, persecution, and how to rejoice in the face of unfair treatment.

The Holy Spirit once stopped Paul from sharing the gospel? Not once, but twice. Why would God ever tell His greatest missionary, 'No' to a good thing like sharing the gospel? God can work in mysterious ways and we need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit to understand how He is leading us.
