Acts: A Dangerous Journey

It is not unusual when folks think (and reasonably so) they are doing God's will. Then when things get hard or don't go as they expected or unforeseen challenges arise, they despair and think that they have misunderstood God's will. They think God's will in their life will always go smoothly. For the Apostle Paul... nothing could seem further from the truth at times. In Acts we will witness a clear call from God to journey to Rome turn into what we would call a nightmare. With setbacks, trials, disasters... even a bite by a poisonous snake. Yet, Paul never questions whether he is in God's will. We have much to learn from such a man!!

Acts: Avoiding Melt Downs

Sometimes great trials and setbacks actually pave the way for greater works of God. This was evident in Acts. As we watch Paul and Silas suffer and then bear lots of fruit, we will be taught how to not melt down in the rough times so we can see through and finally see how God used those times for much good in our lives and in others.
