Trek Through Truth

Paul continues his missionary journey with Silas (and Luke) after splitting with Barnabus.  They encounter persecution everywhere but never lose their joy!  Galatians 6:1-16; Acts 15:36-41; 16:1-5, 6-15, 16-24, 25-34, 35-40; 17:1-9. #everydaychristians

Paul gives a lesson on the purpose of the law and instructs us not put ourselves back under it when we can have freedom in Christ.  Galatians 3:5-18,19-29; 4:1-7,8-31; 5:1,2-15,16-25 #everydaychristians

As the Jewish converts struggle with Gentiles coming to Christ, an interesting Old Testament mystery surfaces.  Acts 15:10-11,12-35; Amos 9:11-12; 2 Samuel 6:17-19; Galatians 1:1-24, 2:1-14,15-21, 3:1-4 

Paul speaks in the synagogues, beginning with God's choosing Israel to Jesus being the fulfillment of their own prophecies!  Acts 13:13-43,44-51; 14:1-7,8-18,19-28. The Sons of God and the Nephilim (Tim Chaffey), biblegateway.com #everydaychristians

Although Peter is called to teach the Jews about Jesus, God supernaturally gives him what he needs to defend spreading the Gospel to Gentiles as well.  Acts 11:1-18, 19-30; 12:1-17, 18-25; 13:1-14.  Biblegateway.com  #everydaychristians

Paradigms are shifting.  After Saul's conversion, he becomes zealous for Christ, and wants his people to understand what he now understands.  Meanwhile, Peter is called to a Gentile's house!  Acts 9:19-31, 32-43, 10:1-33, 34-48 #everydaychristians

Saul, a vicious and zealous enemy of the Church, is transformed when he meets Jesus.  Acts 8:1-8,9-25,26-40; 9:1-19; John 7:38-39; Jeremiah 3:16-17; Zephaniah 3:9-10; The Search for the Ark of the Covenant pt 1 - Bob Cornuke 

The group of disciples grows, deacons are chosen, and a very special deacon named Stephen is stoned as the early Church experiences persecution.  Acts 5:33-42; 6:1-15; 7:1-40,41-60; 8:1.

Miracles and Holy Spirit-driven bold preaching put the Apostles in a precarious position with the Jewish leaders, but God handles it. Acts 3:12-26; 4:1-22, 23-37; 5:1-11,12-32 

The Holy Spirit falls on Jesus' followers empowering them to preach the Gospel with boldness. Excitement ensues. He will do the same for us!  Luke 24:51-53; Acts 1:12-26,1-5;2:1-13,14-39,40-47;3:1-11; Mark 16:20; John 20:30-31;21:25 #everydaychristians
