In the final part of our verse-by-verse study through the book of Acts, we conclude by focusing on the challenge to do the work of the Gospel. In order to know Jesus, we have to receive Him as He is and be about the work He has given us.

In part 63 of our study through the book of Acts, we read through Paul's perilous journey to Rome while in Roman custody - and we see how anchoring ourself to a single, clear promise of God can be all we need to move forward and experience God's blessings in our lives.

In part 62 of our study through the book of Acts, we cover chapters 25 & 26 to discuss Paul's decision to appeal to Caesar. Often seen as impulsive or misguided, Paul was nevertheless taking the door that was open to go where God was sending him - even though it was the harder door to take. Should we wait for easier doors? Does the easier door always lead to a better roads? In this lesson we will explore those questions.

In part 61 of our study through the book of Acts, we read Acts 24 and focus on the reaction that Roman Governor Felix has to Paul sharing the ethical implications of the Gospel. He seemed interested in the potential blessings of Christ, but not in the idea of being accountable to Him.

In part 60 of our study through the book of Acts, we explore a series of events where God opened doors for Paul at just the right time and reflect on the fact that Paul had to continue moving forward without knowing what doors would open and when.

In part 59 of our study through the book of Acts, we see how the hard hearts of the unbelieving Jews in Jerusalem, including their hard hearts towards the Gentiles, led to them missing out on God's promises and blessings.

In part 58 of our study through the book of Acts, we look at a situation Paul faced when returning to Jerusalem from his third missionary journey, and how his freedom in Christ allowed him to conform to the boundaries of others in order to pursue the higher obligation of love and unity.

In part 57 of our study through the book of Acts, we begin chapter 21 and look at a time when multiple people were hearing God say the same thing, but came to different conclusions and disagreed about what they should do, and we'll explore how to handle those same situations in our own lives. -------- Website: https://www.hopevalley.church/

In part 56 of our study through the book of Acts, we take a third and final pass through Paul's final message to the Ephesian Elders and look at a third key instruction he gives: we must protect the church community, even from ourselves.

In part 55 of our study through the book of Acts, we take a second pass through Paul's farewell address to the Ephesian elders, and focus on a second key point, which is the importance of sharing the truth of God with others.
