Sustained: Acts Part IV
Featuring
Description
As we conclude our multi-year series in Acts, we come to the final chapters, which focus on Paul’s final missionary journey, and his subsequent arrest, trials and trip to Rome.
As we have seen throughout this series, God is the one orchestrating every event along the way and is present with his followers by the power of the Holy Spirit. He has empowered them, he scattered them, he sent them and he sustains them through it all, come what may. The same is true for us.
Acts: Sustained, Part 3: Sustained by Jesus' Name // Jerram Watts
May 11, 2025 - Jerram WattsFrom Athens to Corinth and now Ephesus, Paul plants himself in Turkey for three years, his longest stint in one place. Paul declares the gospel with words and such power that people cannot deny the power of Jesus' name! This brings strong and violent opposition from idol makers in Ephesus. Where Jesus' name is held in high regard, we can always expect demonic opposition.
Acts: Sustained, Part 2: Sustained to Multiply // Floyd Edwards
May 04, 2025 - Floyd EdwardsPaul moves on from Athens to Corinth and stays there 18 months, establishing and strengthening the church. He raises up disciples and turns them into leaders (Aquila and Priscilla) and empowers them to do the same for others. It's clear Paul's focus isn't on establishing a personal ministry or making a name for himself, but multiplying disciples and planting churches for the glory of God and expansion of his kingdom!
Acts: Sustained, Part 1: Sustained with a Burden // Anna Holmes
April 27, 2025 - Anna HolmesWe kick off our final series in Acts with Paul's visit to Athens, and the burden he feels when he sees the city rife with idolatry. Paul's heart longs for these people to know the true and living God, and contextualises the gospel to his listeners so that they can understand it. What burden do we feel for the people around us? How are we presenting the gospel in a way they can receive and understand?
