Acts Chapter 8 - The Gospel Spreads: Persecution, Power, and True Transformation

Acts Chapter 13 - Sent by the Spirit: Salvation for All

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/fan_mail/new] Today we are studying Acts Chapter 13. In this chapter, we see the beginning of Paul’s first missionary journey as the Holy Spirit sets apart Paul and Barnabas for the work God has called them to do. They are sent out to proclaim the gospel, and as they travel, we see both acceptance and opposition. Paul boldly preaches in the synagogue, declaring that Jesus is the promised Savior. While many receive the message with joy, others reject it, leading Paul to turn to the Gentiles. Acts 13:47 says, “For this is what the Lord has commanded us: I have made you a light for the Gentiles to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.” This chapter reminds us that the gospel is for everyone and that God calls His people to go and share His truth boldly.

Acts Chapter 12 - Delivered by God: Power, Prayer, and Pride

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/fan_mail/new] Today we are studying Acts Chapter 12. In this chapter, we see both persecution and deliverance. King Herod begins to violently oppose the church, even executing James and imprisoning Peter. But while Peter is in prison, the church is earnestly praying—and God responds in a powerful way. An angel of the Lord miraculously frees Peter, showing that no prison can hold back God’s purposes. At the same time, we see Herod’s pride lead to his downfall when he takes glory for himself instead of giving it to God. Acts 12:5 says, “So Peter was kept in prison, but prayer was being made earnestly to God for him by the church.” This chapter reminds us that God is powerful, prayer is effective, and pride is dangerous.

Acts Chapter 11 - Unity in the Gospel: God’s Grace for All

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/fan_mail/new] Today we are studying Acts Chapter 11. In this chapter, Peter explains to the Jewish believers how God gave the Holy Spirit to the Gentiles. At first, there is confusion and questioning, but when they hear what God has done, they glorify Him. We also see the church growing beyond Jerusalem, especially in Antioch, where believers are first called Christians. Acts 11:18 says, “When they heard this they became silent. And they glorified God, saying, ‘So God has granted repentance resulting in life even to the Gentiles!’” This chapter reminds us that God’s work brings unity when we recognize His hand in it.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/support] We’re so grateful you chose to spend this time with us in God’s Word today.

Acts Chapter 10 - No Partiality: The Gospel for All People

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/fan_mail/new] Today we are studying Acts Chapter 10. In this chapter, we see a major turning point in the spread of the gospel. God reveals to Peter that salvation is not limited to one group of people but is available to all. Through a vision and divine direction, Peter is led to the house of Cornelius, a Gentile, where the Holy Spirit is poured out. Acts 10:34–35 says, “Now I really understand that God doesn’t show favoritism, but in every nation the person who fears Him and does righteousness is acceptable to Him.” This chapter reminds us that the gospel is for everyone.

Acts Chapter 9 - Radical Transformation: From Persecutor to Proclaimer

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/fan_mail/new] Today we are studying Acts Chapter 9. In this chapter, we witness one of the most powerful transformations in all of Scripture. Saul, a fierce persecutor of Christians, encounters Jesus on the road to Damascus and is completely changed. His life shifts from opposing Christ to boldly proclaiming Him. We also see Ananias obey God’s call to minister to Saul, and Peter continues to perform miracles through the power of Jesus. Acts 9:15 says, “But the Lord said to him, ‘Go, for this man is My chosen instrument to take My name to Gentiles, kings, and the Israelites.’” This chapter reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/support] We’re so grateful you chose to spend this time with us in God’s Word today.
