Today we reach the end of the book of Acts! One small problem… the book doesn’t really come to any kind of conclusion! Paul has reached the moment he’s been waiting for and then… well, the story pauses. Yet even in this we find one last challenge for our own stories today.
Paul has been sitting tight for several years in the palace at Caesarea awaiting his trial when (finally!) things start to move. As we turn our attention to Acts 27 today, we find Paul boarding a ship and setting sail for Rome – the very thing Jesus promised him he would be doing two plus […]
Today, our Family Ministry Director Griffin Fell walks us through Acts 25-26 and Paul’s continuing story of being imprisoned and being a avid witness for Jesus.
When you’re walking life with Jesus and everything is seemingly “perfect,” it is such a pleasant walk… but what happens when things feel less “perfect?” What do you do when Jesus starts asking things of you that go against what you would want?

Today, Tim Diehl joins us from Water Street to share some updates on the ministry happening in Lancaster City before we dive into the second half of Acts 23.

Words have power. Most of us have heard this since we were young children. But how much power does a single word actually have? Today in Acts 22, we see Paul speaking a simple, everyday word… and yet it is powerful enough to seal his fate. Yet this isn’t outside of God’s plan that been […]
Paul is going to Jerusalem… but he knows that it is not going to be an all-together positive experience. So why does he go? Because he has properly discerned the call of the Holy Spirit. As we journey through Acts 21 today, we experience Paul’s wrestling with hearing God’s voice and learn how we too […]
Have you ever fallen asleep in church? Of course you have… we all have! But thankfully none of us have fallen asleep like Eutychus in Acts 20. He not only fell asleep in church (during perhaps the longest recorded sermon of all time!) but he also fell out a three story window to his (short-lived) […]
