Acts Chapter 19 - When God’s Word Becomes Stronger Than Your Darkness

Acts Chapter 22 - When Your Story Becomes a Testimony

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/fan_mail/new] Today we are studying Acts Chapter 22. In this chapter, Paul stands before an angry crowd in Jerusalem and gives his defense by sharing his testimony. He tells them about his background, his zeal for the law, his persecution of Christians, and his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. Paul explains how the Lord confronted him, changed him, and called him to be a witness. Acts 22:14–15 says, “The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear the sound of His voice. For you will be a witness for Him to all people of what you have seen and heard.” This chapter reminds us that God can redeem our past, call us into His purpose, and use our testimony to point others to Jesus.

Acts Chapter 21 - When Obedience Comes with a Cost for You

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/fan_mail/new] Have you ever known that doing the right thing would cost you something? Most of us pray for open doors, comfort, and safety. But what happens when God’s will leads directly into difficulty? In Acts Chapter 21, Paul continues his journey toward Jerusalem, fully aware that suffering awaits him. This chapter challenges us to consider whether we are willing to follow Christ even when obedience comes with a price.

Acts Chapter 20 - When Faithfulness Allows You to Finish Well

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/fan_mail/new] Today we are studying Acts Chapter 20. In this chapter, Paul continues his journey of ministry, encouragement, and farewell. He travels through Macedonia and Greece, strengthening the believers. In Troas, he teaches late into the night, and a young man named Eutychus falls from a window and is restored to life. Later, Paul meets with the elders from Ephesus and gives them a deeply emotional farewell message. He reminds them how he served the Lord with humility, tears, and trials. He tells them that he is going to Jerusalem, not knowing exactly what will happen, except that the Holy Spirit has warned him that chains and afflictions await him. Acts 20:24 says, “But I count my life of no value to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.” This chapter reminds us to serve faithfully, guard the church carefully, and finish the work God has given us.

Acts Chapter 19 - When God’s Word Becomes Stronger Than Your Darkness

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/fan_mail/new] Today we are studying Acts Chapter 19. In this chapter, Paul arrives in Ephesus and encounters disciples who had received John’s baptism but had not yet fully understood the work of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. As Paul teaches, baptizes, and lays hands on them, the Holy Spirit comes upon them. Paul continues teaching boldly, and God performs extraordinary miracles through him. But this chapter also shows us the danger of using the name of Jesus without truly knowing Him. The sons of Sceva attempt to imitate spiritual authority, but they are overpowered. As a result, fear falls on many, believers confess their sins, and people burn books connected to sorcery. Acts 19:20 says, “In this way the Lord’s message flourished and prevailed.” This chapter reminds us that the gospel has power, true repentance produces visible change, and Jesus alone is worthy of our worship.

Acts Chapter 18 - When God Encourages You to Keep Going

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2605799/fan_mail/new] Today we are studying Acts Chapter 18. In this chapter, Paul travels to Corinth, where he meets Aquila and Priscilla, works as a tentmaker, and continues proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah. Even when opposition rises, the Lord encourages Paul in a vision and tells him not to be afraid, but to keep speaking. Later, we see Apollos, a gifted speaker, being instructed more accurately in the way of God by Priscilla and Aquila. Acts 18:9–10 says, “Then the Lord said to Paul in a night vision, ‘Don’t be afraid, but keep on speaking and don’t be silent. For I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to hurt you, because I have many people in this city.’” This chapter reminds us that God strengthens His servants, provides faithful partners, and calls us to keep speaking the truth.
