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…

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!

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!

Where Are You God?

November 17, 2024 • Jeff Cramer • Acts 24, Acts 25

As we near the end of our study in Acts, we see the conclusion of a life lived for Jesus. Paul got caught up in the legal system and from his perspective it was hinder his ministry. Yet, as we discover in scripture present set backs are often the breeding ground for next steps. Remember Paul was in custody in Caesarea waiting for his court case to be heard. His accusers were the religious elites the High Priest of Judaism, the Elders of Judaism, and an attorney named Tertullus. They painted Paul as the ringleader of a cult that was creating rebellion in Jerusalem against the Pax Romana (Roman Peace). The Jews fabricated stories attempting to have Paul put to death. Now as we pick up today, the traveling ministry of Paul has come to an end — no more mission trips. But the effectiveness of the Gospel was still at work.
