In this sermon, pastor Dylan Dodson preaches from Acts 21 as we look at how we can see more people saved.
Follow the will of the Lord, even when it leads to hardships, knowing that His will is always good and always best for you. And along the way, be humble enough to share your hardships with other believers so that they may pray for you.

Getting Paul to Rome is going to be quite the journey! Acts 27 and 28 with Tom Ward.
Even when our best efforts to obey Jesus lead to failure and hardship, He is present with us, working out His purposes, and calling us to take courage and not give up

Even when our best efforts to obey Jesus lead to failure and hardship, He is present with us, working out His purposes, and calling us to take courage and not give up
Where does courage come from—especially when fear feels overwhelming? In Acts 21, the Apostle Paul faces a future full of warnings, danger, and suffering. Yet he doesn't back down. Why? This message explores how true courage is born out of deep conviction—conviction about who God is, what He's called us to, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to stand firm. Whether you're facing hardship, tough decisions, or uncertainty, you'll walk away with hope and clarity about how to move forward in faith, not fear.Todays message focused on ACTS 21:1-17Welcome to Calvary Community Church!We're so glad you're here. Whether you're joining us online or checking us out for the first time, we'd love to get connected with you.
This message revolves around three key principles for discerning God's will. Discern God's will through open and closed doors, wise counsel, and above all, the authority of Scripture. God never guarantees comfort. He never guarantees safety. But he guarantees eternal life for all who would believe. Unless God calls you to stay, Unless God forbids you and closes the door, if it's for the sake of the Gospel and to share the gift of eternal life… GO.
Throughout the book of Acts, we witness the resurrection life of Jesus take root and grow, not in theory, but in bodies, cities, communities, and cultures. The gospel is not only something we believe—it's something we live. In suffering and in joy, in conflict and in hospitality, in worship and in witness, in movement and in mission, the early church becomes a living sign of God's new creation.Sermon by Pastor Scott Edinger

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 21 Paul travels to Jerusalem despite warnings of danger. Along the way, he visits various Christian communities, where believers plead with him not to go. At Caesarea, Paul stays at the home of Philip the evangelist, one of the seven men chosen in Acts 6. The prophet Agabus predicts that Paul will be bound and handed over to the Gentiles. Paul remains resolute, declaring his willingness to suffer and even die in the name of Jesus. Upon arriving in Jerusalem, Paul meets with James and the other elders, recounting the wonderful things God has accomplished among the Gentiles. After taking a vow to appease the Jewish believers, an angry mob of Jewish unbelievers accuses Paul of defiling the temple by bringing Gentiles into it. In the chaos, Roman soldiers arrest him. Paul's example of courage should leave a profound impact on our hearts. The Holy Spirit indicates that Paul will suffer for his testimony about Christ in Jerusalem, and his friends urge him not to go. However, Paul's commitment to suffer and die for Christ captures the essence of discipleship: Jesus is either worth nothing or worth everything. We must make that determination in our lives. Paul's vow in Jerusalem illustrates his willingness to make sacrifices to help brethren understand the mission. His calmness in the face of criticism and threats demonstrates the peace that can be found only in Jesus. Today, God's people must also make concessions to influence others, but they must never compromise their spiritual integrity. Great Protector, we entrust our lives to You and dedicate ourselves to Your ministry. Through the Spirit, You have revealed to us that the path of truth is narrow and difficult, often inviting persecution from unbelievers. Father, grant us the courage to choose Your Son now and always. Guide us to faithful individuals, from whom we can draw the encouragement we seek. Help us to love them and do everything possible to retain fellowship with them. However, protect us from compromising to fit the world's expectations, even if this leads to severe consequences and personal costs for Jesus. Thought Questions: - Prophets warned Paul “through the Spirit” about the future. How does the Holy Spirit also warn and teach us about future events? - Paul shared God's work among the Gentiles, encouraging Jewish believers. Do you share the workings of God in your life to uplift Christians? - Paul held his composure, even against false accusations, arrest, and a beating. Will you show such composure today amid the trials you face?

Acts 21 records Paul's journey to Jerusalem. The Apostle comforts and encourages many groups of disciples as he heads to Jerusalem. An old prophet, named Agabus, attempts to persuade Paul to go no further. Paul will not, like his lord, be dissuaded from going. The first thing Paul does on his arrival is to see James who advises him of the best course of action to be taken so as to avoid trouble. The Apostle is advised to complete his Nazarite vow and to cover the expenses of four other brothers who are completing their vows. James reiterates to Paul that the only binding requirements on Gentile believers are the keeping of the four matters agreed upon at the Jerusalem Conference. However, Paul cannot peacefully complete his vow since he is arrested in the temple by Asian Jews. These hostile Jews mistakenly believe that Paul has profaned the temple by bringing Trophimus, a Gentile Ephesian into the temple. A Tribune from the Roman fort of Antonia rescues Paul and commands that he be chained. The crowd clamours for the Apostle's blood, just as they had for his Lord's some three and a half decades earlier. In the barracks Paul speaks with the Tribune dismissing many of the fanciful thoughts as to who Paul might be. Paul asks for permission to address the crowd from the steps of the fort and his speech is recorded in chapter 22. Paul gives his defence in Hebrew and initially the crowd pays close attention. The aged Apostle describes his own education in the Pharisaic tradition under Gamaliel and his zeal for the Law. After this he tells of his experiences on the Damascus road, his conversion to a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul says that he is warned by Jesus his Lord to immediately leave Jerusalem since his testimony will not be accepted. The Jews attentively listen until Paul speaks of being sent to the Gentiles. Once again uproar follows and the Tribune commands that Paul be scourged that the Tribune might understand why the multitude were so angry with the Apostle. Paul, on this occasion, uses his Roman citizenship to avoid a pointless flogging. The chapter concludes with the Tribune intending to have Paul examined by the Jewish Sanhedrin on the next day.
