The Arrest

Paul says, ‘I can do all things through Chris who gives me strength.’ But, what does that mean? There are plenty of things I’m not able to do. Is there something wrong with me or something wrong with the scripture? Or, maybe Paul meant something different than we think...

Discussion/ Reflection:
1) What are some of your highest highs and lowest lows?

2) How has God given you strength at the top and at the bottom?

3) How will you rely on God’s strength in whatever situation you were thinking of?

The End(s of the Earth) This is the end. In the end, how do I know that I have done well? At the end of a season or the end of life, how do we know if we have done well? Here’s the odd ending of Acts. Discussion / Reflection: 1) How do you typically evaluate how “well” you have done? 2) What seasons of your life would you view differently if you evaluated them through the lens of your faithfulness? 3) Are there changes that need to happen in your life to make sure this season is being lived well?

The Storm Paul finds himself in a storm and I’m reminded of one of the core truths of my life: the storm around you does not have to become a storm within you. Discussion / Reflection: 1) What are the storms around you right now? 2) How are the storms getting you back on track (like Jonah) and how are they standing between you and where you need to be (like Paul)? 3) Are the storms around you becoming storms within you? If so, how will you pause today to allow God to calm the storms within you? Holy Spirit, Breath of God Breath into me, transform me
