A Life Well Spent
Kyle Kauffman
The Poet C.T. Studd once famously said, “Only one life,’ twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.” No one sets out to waste their lives. And yet there are all sorts of ways we can end up wasting our them. We all want to spend our lives well. But sometimes we never even slow down to ask, What does a life well spent look like? In Acts 20, we get Paul’s farewell speech to leaders of the Ephesian church. As we listen in to these passionate last words of Paul to this small group of men, we get a glimpse of what a life spent well looks like. We see what the greatest passion of Paul’s life was and how that got worked out into the ways he lived. And we find direction for what it means to spend our lives well rather than wasting them.
Acts 20

Walk This Way
Joel Wood
In a world filled with confusion, brokenness, and spiritual darkness, how does real transformation happen? In Acts 18–19, the Apostle Paul enters two very different and very difficult cities — Corinth, known for its global commerce, rampant immorality and cultural corruption, and Ephesus, a hub of spiritual idolatry, magic, and political power. What happens next is nothing short of miraculous: people come to faith, lives are changed, and communities are impacted — not through flashy programs or celebrity preachers, but through the simple, powerful, personal method of discipleship. Walking with people. Teaching truth. Clarifying faith, and boldly speaking the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. No matter who you are or what you do, God has placed you where you are for a reason. And as you walk faithfully with Jesus, He will use you to help others do the same and be a part of transforming lives and communities.
Acts 18-19

Between Two Worlds
Brandon Fisher
How can we seek to be effective in reaching a 21st century world? On a more manageable level, how can we seek to be effective in simply reaching our neighbors, friends, and family members who don’t know Jesus? In Acts 17 we get a glimpse into how the apostle Paul sought to both know and proclaim the scriptures and know and understand the audience he was speaking to. While it may be unlikely that any of us will ever stand in front of a group of philosophers and skeptics to deliver a sermon, we can learn valuable insights into how we can grow in our own effectiveness and ability to communicate the gospel to others through what we discover in Acts 17.
Acts 17

Jesus Saves
Kyle Kauffman
We’ve all likely come across (or used) the phrase “Jesus saves.” While that can easily become a cliché, those two words seek to communicate a powerful reality: Jesus is the only one who can save people AND he is the one who is still at work in this world saving people. In Acts 16 we get a glimpse into how Jesus continues to work through his disciples to save people. This is one of the only places where Acts gets very specific in describing to us the types of people that Jesus saved and how Jesus saved them. It should be an encouragement to us that Jesus can save all types of people, and he can save them in all sorts of different ways even as he uses us as part of his work to save them.
Acts 16

Defending the Gospel
Kyle Kauffman
It is often said that defense wins championships. In Acts 15 we also discover that defense preserves the gospel and the mission of the church. In Acts 15 we read about one of the first major threats to the gospel. It is inevitable that the true gospel will be threatened through addition, subtraction, or simply assumption. Often these threats come from within the church rather than outside the church. We must be prepared to recognize threats to the gospel and to defend and preserve the truth gospel of grace. If we lose the message that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, then we no longer have a mission that is worth pursuing. But if we hold fast to this true gospel that has been passed onto us and remain unified around it, then we have every reason to continue in the mission to spread this gospel to others.
Acts 15

Don’t Give Up
Joel Wood
It’s easy for us to give up on being a part of God’s mission in this world. Perhaps that’s because we feel ill-equipped to be part of God’s mission. Perhaps that’s because we have faced opposition or apathy from others when we have tried to tell them about Jesus. Perhaps it’s because the difficulty and suffering of our lives has left us feeling like we can no longer take part in God’s mission. Whatever it may be, there will always be reasons for us to “give up” on the mission of making disciples. Acts 14 gives us a window into why perseverance is required and how God enables us to persevere in the mission.
Acts 14

Sent
Kyle Kauffman
God intends for all Christians to live with a sense of being sent into the world with the gospel. But God also calls the church to send out those who he specifically calls to go across geographic and cultural boundaries with the gospel. In Acts 13 we get a window into the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas. We discover that God’s plan to reach the world with the gospel involves using missionaries to advance the gospel in places where it has not been heard before. In this chapter we see not only what is involved in this missionary endeavor, but also what it looks like for us to live with an awareness of being sent by God in our own individual lives.
Acts 13

Hope for the Hopeless
Kyle Kauffman
There are areas in our lives or the lives of others that may look or feel hopeless to us on the surface. We may struggle to believe that change is really possible or that things will ever get better. In Acts 12 we read of a time when things may have looked and felt hopeless to the early Christians in Jerusalem. We find God intervening in a powerful and amazing way to bring change. This story can help us in whatever areas we may struggle with hopelessness today by helping us to see that God hears and answers the prayers of his people. And it can help us to see that even when things may feel hopeless to us, God is still good and he can still be trusted.
Acts 12

A Church That Changes the World
Kyle Kauffman
God’s mission of making disciples is global. We can see this in the book of Acts. The gospel is spreading all across the known world throughout this book. And sometimes we can become so focused on the Big Names in the book of Acts that we forget God’s mission in Acts involved far more people than Peter, Paul, and Philip. Because God’s mission is so BIG, it’s easy for us to lose or forget what role the local church (and every member in the church) plays in this mission. In Acts 11:19-30 we get a good glimpse into how God intends to use the local church (and every member of the church) as part of the plan to make disciples. As we discover how God used the local church in Antioch to make a big difference, we might be encouraged to hope that God will use the local church in Paradise to make a big difference as well.
Acts 11:19-30; 13:1-3

One Big Obstacle to God Using You
Keith Rohrer
Jesus is not just for one group of people, one type of people, or one country of people. Jesus is the offered Savior for ALL people. In order to save all kinds of people from everywhere and anywhere, God uses people just like us. Regular people. But regular people all have flaws, some of which can be obstacles to God using us for this great work. If He first needs to do some Holy Spirit surgery in us, will it be welcomed, or refused? How we answer that question may depend on our answer to this one: How important is God’s mission? And maybe also to this one: How important is it that God use me for His mission?
Acts 10:1-11:18
