In the Presence of the King
Click here to read Acts 25. How nerve wracking it is for people to stand in front of people of power. What do you think your real reaction would be to stand in front of a president? A king or queen? A CEO of a billion dollar company? Your own boss who may not comeContinue reading “In the Presence of the King”
Keeping Calm in Turmoil
Click here to read Acts 24. After reading the scripture for today, do you relate to Paul in any way? After all, he had people rise up, spreading gossip, and telling the truth in a twisted way. My guess is we all would like opportunities for the complete truth to be told. We all mayContinue reading “Keeping Calm in Turmoil”
God Working Through Our Lives

Knowing the Road Ahead

He was jailed, beaten,Continue reading “Lasting Words of Encouragement”
Connecting Points
Click here to read Acts 17. “All you need to do is to teach that person how to…” This sounds simple enough; but is it really that easy to get people to learn new things? Just teach them? When we teach, we are actually connecting the person to what they have seen, what they haveContinue reading “Connecting Points”
Trouble Again?
Click here to read Acts 16:16-40. “Paul and Silas in prison.” This is the heading for this passage in my Bible. With a heading like that, someone is bound to ask, “Wait, wasn’t Paul thrown in jail a couple chapters ago?” The answer would be yes! In the book of Acts, there is a pattern:Continue reading “Trouble Again?”
Between Two Friends
Click here to read Acts 15:36-41. Just when everything seemed to be going well, or at least moving in the right direction, another conflict arises. This time it does not come the outside world; but inside the Christian faith. The argument is between Paul and Barnabas about whether or not John Mark should continue toContinue reading “Between Two Friends”
Strength to Stand
Click here to read Acts 14:8-20. The passage today has many things going on. First of all, we see Paul and Barnabas come upon a man who was crippled in his legs and couldn’t walk. Paul heals the man who is able to walk. The people in the crowd see the miracle and call PaulContinue reading “Strength to Stand”
