Paul was a hard charging man but it wasn’t according to his human desire. The Holy Spirit placed a strong desire in Paul to get to Jerusalem. Yet in all the lead up to get to Jerusalem, Paul’s friends were telling him that it was dangerous, and jail & suffering were ahead! And they were alright! But they were missing God’s purpose. God was moving Paul forward into the next phase of his ministry. While unexpected moments left an imprint on Paul’s life, He was still compelled to continue forward! Here’s the key… God used an unexpected way to move Paul forward.

The Final Act

December 15, 2024 • Jeff Cramer • Acts 28

Today, our concluding study underscores the big picture of what we’ve learned over the last 2-years. We’ve seen the promise of Holy Spirit enabling the early believers to take the gospel message to the ends of the earth, all the way through the end of the book where Paul finally takes the gospel message to Rome. Here’s the main idea, if you never learned any more about serving God except for what we’ve learned in Acts, you’re going to do well. Don’t undervalue what God has given you!

Faith in Action

December 8, 2024 • Jeff Cramer • Acts 27

Today we see Paul’s final mission take shape and this chapter records his journey to Rome. It’s been about three years since God told Paul of his final mission. In (Acts 25:12) we read of the natural steps that put this mission in motion, and Paul was finally on the way Rome. This is what the route looked like…

Making It Personal

November 24, 2024 • Jeff Cramer • Acts 26

In the final chapters of Acts we learn how to advance the gospel personally. Today the scene continues from where we left off last week with Paul in jail. He was brought into a Roman Court by Festus (Governor) who wanted a second opinion from his buddy King Agrippa II as to what should be done with Paul. Paul didn’t violated any Roman Law, but he was a nuisance to the religious leaders of Judaism because he converted to Christianity and followed Christ who fulfilled the OT Prophecies. Now Paul has the chance to preach the gospel to these world leaders!
