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 Movement in Ephesus

James Rochford

Acts 18:24-19:41

God builds His church through five snapshots in Ephesus: 1) Apollos, 2) John the Baptist's disciples, 3) lecture hall of Tyrannus, 4) spiritual warfare, and 5) reaction of the people. God moves through His Holy Spirit covertly and overtly while protecting His people.

Humility and Exaltation

Gary DeLashmutt

Matthew 23:5-12

Jesus emphasizes the importance of humility and God's opposition to pride. God is always opposed to the proud and He always exalts the humble. God does this by looking for: 1) our heart attitudes towards ourselves; 2) our view of human praise and recognition; 3) our fear of man or rest in Him. We can cultivate humility by cooperating with God in the process.

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.

The First Mission Journey (Part 2)

Dennis McCallum

Acts 14:1-28

Paul, with Barnabas in Lystra, heals a lame man, which causes the people to begin to worship them as their gods, Zeus and Hermes. Paul corrects them, stating they are just men, and giving the glory for the miracle to God. He makes a statement about free will in verse 16, and in 17 clearly states that God has made himself known both in His creation evident in nature and within humans.

The First Mission Journey

Dennis McCallum

Acts 13:1-49

Barnabas was in Antioch, then left to find Saul and bring him back to Antioch. While in Antioch, God spoke through the Holy Spirit to the believers that they were to set aside Paul and Barnabas for work that He has for them. Dennis compares and contrasts God's call to missionaries with the Postmodernists' view of missionaries.
