Acts Part III: The Church in Chains
Paul's Stubborn Calm
November 21, 2021 • Pastor Seth Amerine
This week we conclude our final study in Acts with a look at Paul's harrowing journey to Rome by sea. They spend weeks in a storm and end up shipwrecked and yet, through it all, Paul remains stubbornly calm. Read Acts 27-28 and pay attention to Paul's calm and how it affected those around him.
Paul's Clear Conscience
November 14, 2021 • Pastor Seth Amerine
This week we look at another aspect of what allowed Paul to face imprisonment and persecution with strength: his clear conscience. The Bible has a lot to say about the importance of your conscience. Take some time and read through Paul's defenses he presents in Acts 21-26 paying attention to how certain Paul is of his own innocence. Also take a look at Hebrews 9, 1 Timothy 1 and 1 Corinthians 8 for further examination of what the Bible teaches about your conscience. You can also go to http://biblegateway.com and look up the word "conscience" to see where it shows up in scripture.
Paul's Costly Resolve
November 7, 2021 • Pastor Seth Amerine
This week we begin our last series out of Acts. For the next three weeks we will be surveying Acts 20-28 and the final years of the Apostle Paul's life. Paul never shines brighter than he does in the end of Acts. Read Acts 20-21 and pay attention to Paul's clarity of purpose.
