Sunday, January 28, 2024 - Acts 15:36-16:40 - Convinced that God wants him to do one thing, Paul’s journeys take a dramatic turn (literally!) to places, people, and circumstances he wasn’t expecting. And despite personal conflicts and suffering Paul once again experiences the sure victory of the Gospel and its power to grant true freedom.
Sunday, January 21, 2024 - Acts 14:21-15:35 - As modern Americans we take our “rights” seriously and believe my personal freedoms must be protected at all costs. But Paul writes that while all things may be permissible, not all things are beneficial to the life of the church. The Council of Jerusalem, therefore, is a major event in the history of the church as these early believers sought out how to live fully in the freedom of Christ while loving one another inside and outside the church.
Sunday, January 14, 2024 - Acts 13:1-14:20 - As we pick the story back up we rejoin Saul (now Paul) and his call to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. We see as he takes his first missionary journey that though the context and locations may change it’s the same message of Jesus that confronts the same idolatry and objections in each of our lives.
