Episode 107: Acts Chapter 17

In Acts 17, we find the familiar pattern, Paul and Silas enter a town, preach the good news of Jesus, people respond, others resist and they move on to another town. This pattern repeats three times in this chapter. What strikes me most about this pattern is that in spite of the resistance and pain that it causes, Paul and Silas keep moving and the church keeps spreading. That challenges me to keep sharing with others the good news of Jesus and keep moving with His guidance. What do you think?

Episode 106: Acts Chapter 16
Episode | March 16th, 2022 | Season 1 | 6 mins 30 secs
audio bible, daily bible, spiritual formation, spirituality
In the book of Acts, we have seen two ways that God has moved his people and grown the church. First, he has moved them to new fields through visions and we see that in this chapter, a vision of a man from Macedonia. This vision changes the map for Paul and Silas’ missionary journey, which takes them to Philippi. In Philippi, the circumstances bring growth to the church. Paul and Silas are in jail when they are released and the jailer is saved along with his whole household. There is a church established in Philippi and they move on.
This pattern makes me ponder God’s movements in my life. Take some time today to consider how God is moving you to where he wants you. -
Episode 105: Acts Chapter 15

This chapter contains the most important moment for these Jesus followers. There was a divide in their ranks over what to do with new believers who are not Jewish. There was a movement that wanted new believers to convert to Judaism before becoming a Jesus follower. The leaders of the church decided that it was not necessary to become a Jew first. These are the requirements that they passed on to new believers: Be careful to not get involved in activities connected with idols, to guard the morality of sex and marriage, to not serve food offensive to Jewish Christians—blood, for instance.’ This is basic wisdom from Moses, preached and honored for centuries now in city after city as we have met and kept the Sabbath” (Acts 15:20-21 MSG).
Those non-Jewish believers were thrilled with the news.
The Christian life tends to be this big list of do’s and don’ts, but this chapter teaches us to keep it simple. -

Episode 103: Acts Chapter 13

audio bible, daily bible, discipleship, jealousy, jesus, spiritual journey, spirituality
The theme of the Book of Acts is clearly that the disciples of Jesus would be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. God is moving his people in this direction and we keep seeing this resistance to the message going forward. However, each time, God pushes the message past this resistance. This chapter is no different, because when Sergius Paulus wants to hear the message there is resistance. Again when the people of Antioch Pisidia hear the message and respond positively, we see strong resistance. However, every resistance is met with God moving his message forward and more people joining his movement.

Episode 102: Acts Chapter 12
Episode | March 11th, 2022 | Season 1 | 4 mins 35 secs
audio bible, church growth, daily bible, prayer, spirituality
I love verse 5 in this chapter, "But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him." I love this because of two things that happened. First, Peter was released from prison by the angel and he went to where the prayer meeting was happening. When he arrived at the door, they couldn’t believe that he was really there because they were praying for him to get out of prison. I love that God answers prayer and sometimes we miss it.
