Acts 28:26-27
āāGo to this people and say, āYou will be ever hearing but never understanding; Ā you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this peopleās heart has become calloused;Ā Ā they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.ā There are three thingsā¦
Acts 27:20
āWhen neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.ā This scripture must resonate deeply with the experiences of those who survived Hurricane Katrina 20 years ago. They can relate to Paulās ordealāexperiencing darkness, fear, a relentless storm, and a sense of hopelessness. The phrase āwhen neither sun nor stars appearedāā¦
Acts 26:4-6
āThe Jewish people all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child,Ā from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem.Ā They have known me for a long timeĀ and can testify, if they are willing, that I conformed to the strictest sectĀ of our religion, living as a Pharisee.Ā And now it is because of my hopeĀ in what God has promised our ancestorsĀ that I am on trialā¦
Acts 25:2-3
āAnd the chief priests and the principal men of the JewsĀ laid out their case against Paul, and they urged him [Festus],Ā asking as a favor against Paul that he summon him to JerusalemābecauseĀ they were planning an ambush to kill him on the way.ā Gotta love the Bible. I do not know how you can say it is boring. It has drama, intrigue, betrayal, redemption, and humor. The Bible reveals God, and notā¦
Acts 24:25
As Paul discoursed on righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, āThatās enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you.ā Missing an opportunity can often feel like a weight on our shoulders, a haunting reminder of what could have been. Living with the regret of missed chances can destabilize our present. I have often foundā¦
Acts 23:11
The following night, the Lord stood near Paul and said, āTake courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.ā You may have noticed the phrase āTake Courageā that the Lord spoke to Paul. We can examine various translations of Godās words, such as ābe encouragedā (NLT), āCheer upā (HNV), and āBe of good Cheerā (NKJV). This theme is also present in Isaiahā¦
Acts 22:28
The Tribune answered, āI bought this citizenship for a large sum.ā Paul said, āBut I am a citizen by birth.ā We can purchase almost anything today. The rise of the internet, especially with platforms like Amazon, has made shopping a straightforward task. Citizenship is probably not something you would think about buying. For immigrants, securing citizenship is often a top priority. Those of usā¦
Acts 21:4
āFinding the disciples there, we stayed with them seven days. Through the spirit, they urged Paul not to go to Jerusalem.ā The āIf onlyā¦ā in my life leads to fear and loss of momentum. āIf only I saidā¦ā āIf only I didā¦ā āIf only that happened sooner (later)ā¦ā āIf only they listened.ā āIf only I listened.ā āIf only I did not forget.ā Whenever I read this story, I always think, āIf only Paulā¦
Acts 20:32
āAnd now I commend you to God and to the world of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance, among all those who are sanctifiedā There was a time in my married life when my husband and I would finally connect with another family and start getting together regularly, only for them to decide to move away. We joked that our family made them want to leave the state. Itā¦
Acts 19
āOn hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, and when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking in tongues and prophesying.ā Today, we may often view traveling ministers as attention-seeking, money-driven individuals focused on their own interests. However, Paulās approach to ministry was quite different; he was not in it forā¦
Acts 18
Acts 18: 9-10 āOne night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision, āDo not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.ā Astraphobia, the fear of thunder and lightning; Cynophobia, the fear of dogs; Glossophobia, the fear of public speaking; Trypanophobia, the fear of needles, probably seem likeā¦
Embracing Divine Direction
Acts 16:6-10,12b-15, ā6Ā AndĀ they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.Ā 7Ā And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, butĀ the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.Ā 8Ā So, passing by Mysia, they went downĀ to Troas.Ā 9Ā And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standingā¦
Navigating Disagreements with Grace
Acts 15:2, āThis brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.ā Not everything in the Christian church is perfect. Many people assume that Christians are flawless, but that is not true. We are imperfect individuals striving to becomeā¦
Rising from Adversity: Lessons from Paul's Journey in Lystra
Acts 14:20: āBut when the disciples had gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city, and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.ā This verse from Acts cannot stand alone; it seems insignificant without the events that preceded it. Paul and Barnabas have been traveling together, sharing the gospel. In this instance, they find themselves in Lystra, working to convince the peopleā¦
Thrust Aside or Embrace: The Choice of Faith
Acts 13:46-48, āAnd Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly saying, āIt was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. For so the Lord has commanded us saying, ā I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.ā And when theā¦
Lessons from Peter's Imprisonment and Faith
Acts 12:4-5 āAnd when he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people. So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.ā Herod, oh Herod! He certainly enjoyed stirring the pot. Acts 12:1 states, āNow about that time, Herod the king stretchedā¦
The Significance of Devotion in Acts 10
Acts 10:2-4 āa devout manĀ who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God.Ā About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a visionĀ an angel of God come in and say to him, āCornelius.āĀ Ā And he stared at him in terror and said, āWhat is it, Lord?ā And he said to him, āYour prayers and your almsĀ have ascendedĀ as a memorial beforeā¦
