We're wrapping up our verse-by-verse study of Acts this week with Paul arriving in Rome...finally! We'll see the gospel preceded Paul long before he arrived or even wrote to Rome. We'll get another case study in evangelism which leads some Jews to believe and the whole imperial guard to hear. And finally, though the book of Acts is finished, the go…

From the vibrant and powerful example of the Jesus in Luke, we see the body of Christ and in the early church in the book of Acts shows us how to be the body. The Acts church was not just a gathering of believers; it was a living, breathing testimony of God’s grace and power. Through their shared faith, unity, and service, they embodied what it mea…

Surviving a storm and shipwreck, Paul now survives the snake and makes the most of this opportunity to share the grace of God in Jesus with people who were traditionally disregarded. Nothing can stop God's promises and plans to take the gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth.

In our verse-by-verse study through Acts Chapter 27, we see how Luke devotes 58 verses in Acts 27:1-28:14 to recounting Paul's journey to Rome. He meticulously details 17 geographic points and 5-6 months of travel. Why does he devote so much space to something he could summarize in a sentence? The voyage, the violent storm, the hopelessness of man-…

In Acts 26, we hear Paul's testimony for the third and final time. There is much to learn and discuss from what he shares and how he shares it. For more resources on this passage, head over to the Mars Hill website at ⁠pomh.org⁠.

In this week's scripture study through Acts 25:13-27, the narrative of Paul's trial continues to slow down while the threat intensifies. Governor Festus is confused and perplexed and Herod Agrippa II and many prominent leaders enter the scene. Everyone in the line of Herod tried to destroy the way of Jesus. Everyone in this scene thinks they've com…

This week's study of Acts 25:1-12 has Paul standing before Governor Festus once again. What looks like a Groundhog Day of injustice and accusation is actually the steadfast love and faithfulness of God protecting, preserving, and providing for his servant so that the name of Jesus goes forth. While Satan never takes a day off from accusing us (Rev …

This week's verse-by-verse study through the Book of Acts takes us through Chapter 24. We're looking at Acts 24, where Paul stands before Governor Felix, falsely accused. Though he counters his accusers with evidence of his innocence, his real hope is in what he confesses in Acts 24:14-15. Also interesting is how Paul views his imprisonment as an o…
