The recorded account of Paul’s journeys concludes in Acts 27:38-28:31 as his storm-battered ship runs aground on the island of Malta. After a potentially life-threatening snakebite and interesting interactions with the natives, Paul sets sail once more and finally arrives in Rome to testify before Caesar – just as God promised.

As Paul sets sail for Rome, his journey takes a dramatic turn when a violent storm threatens to destroy the ship and all aboard. As we watch this story unfold in Acts 27:1-37, we learn why who we listen to matters, practical advice for navigating our own storms, and the benefits of having an infectious faith that brings hope to others.

Paul defends himself in Acts 26 by sharing his dramatic testimony of coming to Christ and declaring the amazing things the Lord wants to do for the lost through the power of salvation. As we study Paul’s message, we are encouraged to shine our light in dark places, consider ourselves happy despite any circumstance, and stand together in truth and love as the body of Christ.

After hearing Paul preach, King Agrippa declines to accept Christianity because he is unwilling to leave his lifestyle, power – and one particularly alarming sin—behind. As we learn just why Agrippa was so hesitant to accept what Paul preached in Acts 26:27-30, we examine the sins we also cling to and why it is so imperative that we don’t hesitate to leave them behind.

Paul’s courtroom saga continues in Acts 24-25 as his accusers present their case before Felix, using misinformation and flowery flattery in an attempt to defeat Paul once and for all. After Felix wavers, Paul is sent to Festus, who equally doesn’t know how to handle the situation, and the ongoing indecision sets Paul on a course to Rome, where he will stand before Caesar.

In Acts 24:24-25, Paul preaches a powerful three-point sermon to Governor Felix that leaves him trembling with fear, yet unwilling to take action. As we examine each point in depth, we learn essential truths about sin and salvation and the danger of delaying a decision about Jesus.rig

After his arrest, Paul finds himself in Acts 23 being shuffled between the Sanhedrin and Roman government officials—none of whom know what to do with him. Meanwhile, a group of Jews conspire to ambush and kill him. However, through a miraculous set of circumstances, their plot is thwarted, and Paul continues to await his fate as He trusts in God’s promises.

As the Apostle Paul sits in a Jerusalem jail, waiting to see how the plot against him will unfold, he is visited by the Lord, who, in Acts 23:11-13, tells him to "be of good cheer." This isn't the first time we have seen Jesus offering these words of encouragement, and they still apply to us today. As we look at the reasons we can also be of good cheer, we find fantastic encouragement to face any trials or trouble that may come our way.

Paul reaches a pivotal moment in his ministry in Acts 21-22 as he decides to go to Jerusalem – against the advice of his fellow believers. Upon his arrival in Jerusalem, he is met by both joyful disciples and fierce opposition, which sets him on a course toward more trials and the threat of imprisonment.
Transcribed - Published: 20 March 2025
Paul’s determination to travel to Jerusalem in Acts 21:10-14 sets him on a path towards imprisonment and death, yet he freely accepts it despite pleas from the Christians in Caesarea not to go. As we examine Paul’s resolve, we consider not only the possibility of facing physical death for our faith but also the certainty of the spiritual death we are called to as we live out our daily lives.

Paul’s third missionary journey in Acts 19 takes him to Ephesus, where his preaching of the Gospel dramatically impacts the city. While there, he disciples the believers, teaching them about salvation through Jesus Christ, baptism and the Holy Spirit. However, several dramatic events also unfold, including a failed attempt by unbelievers to cast out a demon and a riot incited by silversmiths whose idol sales suffer as people turn to Christ in repentance.
Transcribed - Published: 27 February 2025
The Word of God radically transformed both individual lives and the entire community of Ephesus in Acts 19:20—and it still carries the same power today. As we study together, we learn what the Word of God is, see how preaching and teaching the Word played a vital role in the early church, and discover the blessings we can expect when we commit to reading and studying our Bibles.

Paul’s missionary journeys continue in Acts 18 as he shares the Gospel and strengthens the believers in cities like Corinth, Ephesus, Antioch, and Galatia.

Transcribed - Published: 20 February 2025
Paul’s second missionary journey continues in Acts 17 as he visits three cities with three radically different responses to the Gospel. As we observe how the people of Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens reacted, we learn how to share the Word effectively, the importance of continually searching Scripture, and why we should never give up on those who initially reject the Gospel.

As Paul and Silas set out on their missionary journey in Acts 16, they find themselves re-routed from their intended course and end up beaten and imprisoned.

As many Gentiles come to faith in Christ, a dispute arises over whether they should also follow Jewish customs and laws. As a council assembles in Acts 15 to make a decision, we see compelling statements about salvation from Peter, Paul, and James and learn what they determine the new believers should do and why.
Transcribed - Published: 6 February 2025
A debate arises in the early church in Acts 15:1-11 over whether the new Gentile believers should be circumcised and follow Jewish law. As we explore how they settled the issue, we turn to the Old Testament to see the answer in a striking parallel between Joseph and Jesus, which gives us great insight into salvation by grace through faith.

As they continue their first missionary journey in Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas encounter extraordinary opportunities but also fierce opposition from a group of Jews who continually stir up trouble. But despite these violent uprisings – and even a near-death experience for Paul – they continued performing miracles, preaching the Gospel, and strengthening the faith of the new believers who accepted Jesus as their Savior.

After Paul and Barnabas are mistaken for gods, Paul addresses the fervent crowd in Acts 14:11-19 to redirect their worship to the one true God. As Paul boldly explains the folly of idolatry and points to how God reveals Himself through creation, his words once again incite hostility, culminating in a violent uprising against him.

In Acts 13:36-39, Paul makes a powerful declaration that we can only find forgiveness and salvation through Jesus Christ. But what does this actually mean for us? As we study, we learn why forgiveness is necessary, the benefits of confession, repentance, and salvation, and why Jesus Christ is our only access to these things.

Following Peter’s vision concerning the Gentiles, the church continues growing, and the Gospel spreads rapidly in Acts 11-12. However, the explosion of Christianity sparks persecution from Herod, who kills James and imprisons Peter. Yet we still see that God is in control as Peter is miraculously freed through the power of prayer and angelic intervention while Herod meets a ghastly demise.

Saul of Tarsus is on his way to threaten and murder the Christians in Damascus when he has a life-changing encounter with God in Acts 9:1-19.

As Stephen is stoned to death, he utters some truly remarkable last words in Acts 7:59-60 that reveal the powerful transformation Jesus had upon his life. In much the same way, Jesus wants to change us too. As we study, we learn how He can bring about this change in our lives by rescuing us from our sins and giving us new hearts that will help us face any circumstance while glorifying God —just like Stephen.

In one of Scripture's most powerful sermons, Stephen recounts Israel's history to reveal how it foreshadowed Jesus as the Messiah while addressing the people's repeated rejection of God’s plan. As we study the first half of his message in Acts 7:1-43, we cover their history from Abraham to Moses to see the prophetic implications, the beginning of God's plan for the Jewish people, and how Jesus was pictured throughout this history.

Accused of blasphemy by the religious leaders, Stephen begins his defense in Acts 7:2-8 with a history lesson on God’s promise to give Abraham’s descendants the land of Israel. Starting with Stephen’s statement, we trace Israel’s history to the present day to explore who should possess the land and why, the current narrative in the Middle East, and how these controversies are leading to God’s ultimate plans for the Jews in the End Times.

While Stephen is preaching about Jesus in Acts 6:8-15, a group of men come against him by spreading lies and accusing him of sharing misinformation. And unfortunately, twisting the truth is the oldest trick in the book and is still in play today.
