Paul on Trial

Dennis McCallum
Acts 23:1-26:32

Paul is taken to Caesarea to stand trial before the Roma governor. Paul is imprisoned in Caesarea for two years but given enough freedom to allow friends to visit and provide for his needs, which allows Luke to write Acts, and Paul to write the prison epistles. Paul gives the gospel message each time he is brought before the court to respond to charges.

Trials in Jerusalem

Scott Risley
Acts 21:1-23:11

Paul is prophesied to go to Jerusalem where he will be imprisoned. Paul does go to Jerusalem and ends up in front of the Jewish council where he gives the account for why he preaches the Gospel to the Gentiles. Through these events, we learn about God's grace and encouragement that he provides for those who risk everything for the sake of the Gospel.

The Ephesian Experience

Dennis McCallum
Acts 18:22-19:41

Paul enters Ephesus, and by reasoning and persuading, many believe, are baptized, and the growth of Christians multiplies, not just in Ephesus but throughout this Roman region referred to as Asia (see the letters to the seven churches in Revelation). This growth is accomplished by groups of Christians meeting in houses because it was illegal at this time to have a Christian church building.\r\n

The Second Journey - Part 2: Thessalonica and Athens

Scott Risley
Acts 17:1-34

Paul puts his trust in God's will as he is forced out of Thessalonica. We see how Paul uses the scriptures to reason with the people he preached to. He even uses none scripture in his reasoning with the Athenians to point them to God amongst their many idols.

Lessons from Corinth

Dennis McCallum
Acts 18:1-22

Paul arrives in Corinth by himself, but was led to Aquila and Priscilla, Jews exiled from Rome, and stayed with them making tents and persuading Jews and Greeks when not working his trade. When the Jews blasphemed Paul, he devoted his ministry to the Gentiles. When Paul became discouraged and feared for his life, he was encouraged by Jesus in a vision to not be afraid because He was with Paul.

Shining a Light in a Dark Place

Conrad Hilario
Acts 18:1-23

Sometimes those who are farthest away can be most receptive to God. Move on in a respectful way if people are not responding to the message of Christ. We shouldn't be afraid to share the message of Christ.
