Paul concludes his thoughts from Romans 1 and 2 in chapter 3. His conclusion? We're all sinners and need Jesus! In order to fully understand the grace of God we need to understand our need for God.

We discuss Romans 2 which lays out: God's kindness, crime mob bosses, hypocrisy and much more!

Romans 1 discusses many things: nature proving God exists but being unable to save, humanity's need for a sinless savior, sexual immorality and the lie that world is "advanced" and offers wisdom. The reality is there's nothing new nor is there "progress" in these immoral world views. We all need Jesus and he calls us to obedience, there is where real freedom is found!

The last podcast on the book of Acts! Paul finished strong and committed his life and ministry to Jesus all the way to the end.

Acts 27 is a jam packed chapter dealing with Paul as he sails stormy seas headed to Rome. Here is a takeaway from this chapter. The first is don't minimize the journey you're on. Often we're focused on the destination but God is with you on the journey. He speaks. We're to be obedient and listen even when it doesn't make sense!

We have a responsibility to speak of Jesus. Don't minimize a small conversation nor should we get overwhelmed with the stage!

The evil one uses sin to form accusations against God's people. The good news is Jesus is our defender and vindicator. 

In Acts 24 Paul is on his way to Rome and continues to have high-stakes conversations regarding Jesus and salvation. In this chapter Paul has a conversation with a leader named Felix. Felix makes a subtle but relevant statement, "I'll listen to you when it's convenient for me". How often do I follow God only because it's convenient?

Let's talk about the significance of "place" and God's redemption. 20 years later, Paul stood where Stephen once stood.

In Acts 22 Paul shares the Gospel by sharing his story. We've all heard "the power of story" and for the christian our story becomes especially powerful when we acknowledge our inability and God's ability.
