Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy the show.

Hello everybody, welcome to Don't Miss This. I'm David Butler.

I'm Emily Freeman.

So glad y'all are here with us. Today we are doing acts, especially if you're new or if you're old.

Welcome if you're new and let us apologize again for last week. Everyone, this is a big celebration.

We are going to try and be less than 30 minutes today. Did you start the timer?

No, but you were going to be okay.

Sorry, it was so long last week, but it was too good.

Today is acts 16-21.

Now, something that's really helpful in this time period is maybe to explain this.

The book of Acts is kind of covers from about chapter 14-ish, the Ministry of Paul and all of his missions.

If you look in your Bible back, the maps, you'll see maps that show like Paul's different journey.

So he takes three different really long missions, pops into all these different cities as he goes through.

Meanwhile, he's writing the letters to cities he's already been to.

He's been to Corinth, so he writes the letter to the Corinthians.

So all the letters that come after the book of Acts, all are interspersed throughout here also.

Just to give you an idea of how the second half of the New Testament set up, acts is like the story.

And then the letters are letters he wrote as he was on his missions.

What's going this order? Thessalonians, then Corinthians, Galatians and Romans, then Philippians, Colossians, Ephesians, Philomon.
