ACTS 28 God had a plan for Paul. I think that was made pretty evident in Chapter 9 when Jesus said to Ananias, Acts 9:15-16 “Go for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to Kings, as well as to the people of Israel. And I will show him [...]

Acts 27 although a short chapter, it has a profound message in its midst. What I took from this chapter, was no matter what you go through in life, just lean on God and trust in his promise that he’ll always be there to see you through your troubles. You will always make it out [...]
Acts 26 Isn’t it funny how as Christians, we get so uptight and ready to “defend” ourselves when people question us? But usually we start using scripture to try and “prove” our point. This just turns people off to God. I love how when Paul is questioned and is asked to defend himself HE uses [...]
Acts 25 In acts 25 Paul is being accused of things he didn’t do. The Jewish leaders are even asking favors so they can achieve the out come they want even if the charges can’t be proven. What I take from this chapter is seek the right path. Make sure the path you choose is [...]
Acts 23 The word that sticks out to me when reading this scripture is purpose. When Paul spoke to the Sanhedrin he spoke knowing full well his purpose. He spoke in complete confidence.

Acts 21 As we continue to read on, we know that Paul and many others continued their trip to Jerusalem. I found it interesting that on more than one occasion, men filled with the holy spirit told Paul not to continue his trip to Jerusalem. Once in verse 4 and in verses 10&11. I enjoyed [...]
Acts 19 Part One Why did Paul ask these believers if they had received the Holy Spirit? When was the last time you encountered another Christian believer, a total stranger? And, upon hearing their profession of faith, did you ask them if they’d received the Holy Spirit? Was it because the Baptism is required? No! [...]
Acts 18 Through out the book of Acts I have seen a sense of urgency among the followers of Christ. This is something that I think today’s Church has lost, and the Church in Acts is showing us. These people knew that they had the one thing that the people around them needed. They wanted [...]
Acts 17 There are 5 critical questions that you can ask yourself no matter what parts of the Bible that can help get you started in better understanding it: Who- author or characters Who- the audience would be What/Why- occasion or reason When- historical stage or dating How- style Now that we know these questions [...]
