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.

Life out of Death

Gary DeLashmutt

2 Corinthians 4:15-16

During a Jewish feast, many Greeks seeking spiritual insight come to see Jesus. Jesus gives the illustration of a seed falling into the ground and dying to bear fruit; teaching the principle of life-out-of-death. He applies this principle in 3 ways: 1) out of Jesus' death we receive eternal life; 2) as we die to self and sacrifice our fleshly desires, we gain a deeper spiritual life;3) our ongoing death to self brings life to others.

The Fiery Furnace

Ryan Lowery

Daniel 3:1-30

Shadrach, Meshach and Abendego, three Jewish boys exiled in Babylon, show bravery by demonstrating a willingness to suffer in order to remain loyal to the true God of the Bible. Their worldview is put to the test when King Nebuchadnezzar's gold statue is commanded to be worshiped. They took a stand on God's word, refusing to be subservient to the culture that believed in many gods. And God rescued them from death.

God and Grace

James Rochford

Acts 9:1-27

The conversion of Saul to Paul is one of the clearest pictures of God's radical grace. After his conversion we see another picture of what it looks like to serve God under grace. Because of God's grace, this man went from seeking to imprison followers of Jesus to being one of Jesus' biggest influencers. Paul's life shows that God's grace is for anyone willing to accept it.
