1 John 2:28-3:9 – Living As Children Of God

John points us to an incredible reality – God loves us with an extraordinary love. A love that brought us in as children of God. But are we living as children of God with a resemblance to our Heavenly Father? Listen in as we look at the key to living as children of God. Bible Text: 1 John 2:28-3:9

Acts 25 – Paul’s Defense Before Festus

After having to stand before Felix in chapter 24, another 2 years passes by before Paul has to go through it all again with Festus, the new Roman governor. It can be enough to break a person – unless that person is living completely for Jesus. This is what we see with Paul as he rests and relies on the Lord. Bible Text: Acts 25:1-27

1 John 2:12-27 – Grow and Guard

John lays out a progression of growth for the believer as he writes to three groups of people: children, young men, and fathers. As believers, we should be growing in our walk with the Lord. And there are things that will come against us to hinder that growth. We look at what it is we must be on guard against to ensure our growth. Bible Text: 1 John 2:12-27

Acts 24 – Paul’s Defense Before Felix

Paul is brought before the Roman governor Felix where the Jews present their case against him. How will things unfold? We look at how Paul handles himself and how God ultimately orchestrates all of these things for His purposes. Bible Text: Acts 24:1-27

1 John 2:1-11 – Walking In Jesus and Like Jesus

John lays out for us some wonderful news! We don’t have to sin, but if we do, we have an Advocate – Jesus. And He is with the Father standing on our behalf. He has cleansed us from our sin and now calls us into a life of fellowship with Him. And John lays out some tests for the believer to know that we know Him. Bible Text: 1 John 2:1-11

Acts 23 – When Your Back’s Against The Wall

Things are getting increasingly more chaotic for Paul. Rejected, beaten, imprisoned, and a group of assassins taking an oath to kill him. Things aren’t going his way it would seem. Yet through it all we see God’s providential care time and time again. Jesus even comes to encourage Paul in jail and let’s him know He’s not done with him yet. What a great reminder that if God is for us, who can be against us. Bible Text: Acts 23:1-35

1 John 1:5-10 – Walking In The Light

John lays out for us that if we are believers in Christ, we should be walking in the light as He is in the light. We look at some obstacles to walking in the light, but also the provision made for us to continue walking in the light. Bible Text: 1 John 1:5-10

Acts 21:27-22:30 – Paul Gives An Account

Paul is given the opportunity he’s been dreaming of – to speak to his fellow country men. The Jewish crowds are gathered at the Temple, the stage is set! He lays it all out for them as to how Jesus met him, transformed him, and called him. Surely the people will warm up to Paul after this account. Listen in to hear how it all goes down and what we learn from his account. Bibel Text: Acts 21:27-22:30

1 John 1:1-4 – Fellowship And Fullness Of Joy

John sets out the purpose in the introduction to his letter: “…that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.” Our joy is equated to our fellowship with God. He’s invited us in to enjoy relationship with Him. What a blessing. May you experience fullness of joy as you encounter life in Him. Bible Text: 1 John 1:1-4

Acts 20:28-21:26 – The Will Of The Lord Be Done

Ever wondered why the Lord would lead you in a certain way? Even when it seems like your heading for disaster? That was the case for Paul as he makes his way back to Jerusalem after his third missionary trip. Others were even given a word from God as to what trouble was awaiting Paul. They tried to keep him from Jerusalem. But Paul was confident God was taking him right into the fire and would carry out His good purposes through it. Are we ready to say in all things, ‘Your will be done Lord.’ Bible Text: Acts 20:28-21:26
