In Acts Chapter 19 we follow Paul into the city of Ephesus, where the gospel collided with hard-heartedness. But powered by the Holy Spirit, the simple preaching of the word of God was able to transform lives. Pastor Brett Meador offers more good understanding from Today’s Word of the sanctifying and enabling influence of the Holy Spirit on the life of the believer.

Paul’s third missionary journey in Acts Chapter 19 took him to Ephesus, where his preaching had a dramatic impact. There, he discipled believers, teaching them about salvation through Jesus Christ, baptism, and the Holy Spirit. And so Pastor Brett Meador too reflects in Today’s Word of Jesus affirming that it was so we could be witnesses unto Him that the Holy Spirit came.

As Pastor Brett Meador has said, the best commentary for the Bible is the Bible. But did you know that nearly every verse of Psalm Chapter 119 remarkably refers to the glory of the word of God while providing the reader divine direction? In an intriguing study from Today’s Word of Psalm 119, Pastor Brett makes the case for not neglecting the full council of the word of God.

The Word of God radically transformed both individual lives and the entire community of Ephesus we read in Acts Chapter 19. As Pastor Brett Meador opens Today’s Word, we’ll learn what the Word of God is, see how preaching and teaching the Word played a vital role in the early church, and discover the blessings we can expect when we too commit to reading and studying our Bibles.

As Paul arrived in Corinth, God surrounded him with faithful friends, opens doors to preach the gospel, and encouraged him to keep going despite opposition. As Pastor Brett Meador continues verse by verse through Acts Chapter 18 in Today’s Word, we'll see how the Lord strengthens His people, builds His church, and accomplishes His purposes through faithful believers.

Paul’s second missionary journey continued in Acts Chapter 17 as he visited three cities with three radically different responses to the Gospel. As Pastor Brett Meador observes in Today’s Word how the people of Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens reacted, we learn how to share the Word effectively, and why we should never give up on those who initially reject the Gospel.

Paul’s missionary journeys continue in Acts Chapter 18 as he shares the Gospel strengthening believers in cities like Corinth, Ephesus, and Antioch. Along the way he builds relationships with key figures in the early church, Priscilla, Aquila, and Apollos, yet faced fierce opposition in the synagogue.

The second missionary journey of Paul continued, extending the gospel into Europe for the first time. And though the gospel message was often received, it was also met with resistance and ridicule. Yet Pastor Brett Meador provides for us a verse-by-verse account of Acts Chapter 17 in Today’s Word, demonstrating Paul’s readiness to spread God’s word to all with ears to hear.

After being beaten and wrongly imprisoned, Paul and Silas responded in a somewhat unexpected way - with praises to God. Their worship became the setting for a miraculous earthquake, opening not just the jail door, but created an opening to the jailer and his household to hear the gospel and come to faith in Jesus. Pastor Brett Meador shares their example in Today’s Word.
