Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --It's easy to fool ourselves when it comes to discerning God's willJeremiah 17:9-10 (NLT) 9 “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? 10 But I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives.We all have secret motives driven by the sinful nature. 2 Timothy 4:3 (NLT) 3 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.We all have a tendency to do this when looking for directionSeek out people who say what we WANT them to sayNot necessarily what GOD is really saying to usAnd here's the crazy thing: it's not always false teachers who do thisSometimes it's our best friends or our loving parentsThat's what we're going to see in the text todayIt's a stark reminder that discerning the will of God is a tricky thingAnd while I can't give you a blanket answer for your personal lifeI can give you principles for discerning God's willBut first, to the text for today. We're actually starting in Acts 20…Acts 20:22-23 (NLT) 22 “And now I am bound by the Spirit to go to Jerusalem. I don't know what awaits me, 23 except that the Holy Spirit tells me in city after city that jail and suffering lie ahead.”Paul felt like he heard from God on this. “Bound by the Spirit” in Acts 20“compelled by the Spirit” in Acts 19Have you ever felt like this? But how do you know it's really from God? Not an audible voiceGut feeling - could just be a bad burrito from the night beforeThe human heart is deceitful…It gets even more interesting: Acts 21:4 (NLT) 4 We went ashore, found the local believers, and stayed with them a week. These believers prophesied through the Holy Spirit that Paul should not go on to Jerusalem.“Through the HS”Same HS that “bound” and “compelled” Paul?Seems confusing.And then this: Acts 21:10-12 (NLT) 10 Several days later a man named Agabus, who also had the gift of prophecy, arrived from Judea. 11 He came over, took Paul's belt, and bound his own feet and hands with it. Then he said, “The Holy Spirit declares, ‘So shall the owner of this belt be bound by the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem and turned over to the Gentiles.'” 12 When we heard this, we and the local believers all begged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.What the heck!? Even more messages from the HSPause: What...

As Paul's group says farewell to the Ephesians, a Judean prophet predicts that Paul will be taken into custody if he goes to Jerusalem, but Paul is still determined to go. Though he and other fellow believers try to show the Jews that Paul is not a blasphemer, it seems to be of little use. A riot ensues and Paul is attacked. The local officials step in to help, finding out later that Paul is a Roman citizen. When Paul is taken into custody by the state, a mob forms and secretly plots to kill him. The plot is discovered in a way that the mob couldn't have predicted, revealing that God is rescuing Paul from death and preserving him for further ministry and teaching.Acts 21 – 1:12 . Acts 22 – 8:40 . Acts 23 – 14:10 . Acts 24 – 20:53 . Proverbs 14 – 25:34 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Paul's address in Acts 21:37–22:29 provides a clear model for how to structure a testimony: describing life before Christ, the moment of conversion, and the transformation afterward. This episode explores Paul's speech and draws principles for crafting an effective personal testimony.Key Points1. The ContextPaul was accused of violating Jewish law, leading to a violent mob scene. The Roman commander, mistaking him for a fugitive Egyptian revolutionary, arrested him. Paul's fluency in Greek and his citizenship from Tarsus (a culturally significant city) granted him permission to address the crowd in Aramaic.Lesson: Connect with your audience by speaking in a way they understand, both linguistically and culturally.2. Paul's Testimony StructurePaul's approach offers a simple but powerful three-part framework:Life Before ConversionApplication: Describe your spiritual state before encountering Christ. Be authentic. Every story—dramatic or ordinary—demonstrates God's grace.The Moment of ConversionApplication: Share your pivotal moment of transformation. Highlight the grace of God and the gospel message—Jesus died for our sins and rose again.Life After ConversionApplication: Describe your life since coming to Christ. Share how God has changed your heart, given you new purpose, and granted the assurance of forgiveness.Additional InsightsAuthenticity Matters: Avoid exaggerations or embellishments. God works powerfully through every genuine story.The Gospel Focus: Paul's testimony points clearly to Jesus' death and resurrection. Always centre your testimony on the grace of God rather than personal achievements.Practical Tips for Sharing Your TestimonyBe Concise: Respect your listeners' time.Be Relatable: Use language and examples they understand.Focus on Jesus: Ensure the gospel is the central message.Share with Humility: Let God's grace, not your past, take center stage.ConclusionPaul's testimony reminds us that sharing our story is a powerful tool for witnessing. By following his example—before Christ, moment of conversion, and life after—we can effectively communicate God's transformative power. Testimonies, no matter how ordinary or extraordinary, point to the same glorious truth: salvation through Jesus Christ.Action Point: Prepare your perCreate Harmony This is a podcast about setting an intentional rhythm, savoring life's blessings and...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

A sermon by Alexander Breytenbach This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit ruahchurch.substack.com

We're back in Acts, picking up where we left off! Paul is following his leaders' wishes and undergoing a purification ritual to try to signal to suspicious parties that he's really one of them, that he can be trusted. But a misunderstanding and its disastrous consequences leave Paul in chains, alone and abandoned. We'll dive into Acts 21:27-26 and watch "The Mob" reject Paul--and the gospel--once and for all.

The Christian life is not safe. It can be dangerous & difficult. But the Peace of Christ is with those who are willing to stay the course & walk by faith, forsaking all, that the will of the Lord may be done.

Today InPerspective with Dr. Harry Reeder January 10, 2025

A sermon by Alexander Breytenbach

Fr. Mike comments on the growing divide between Judaism and Christianity that Paul experiences on mission in Acts 21. In 2 Corinthians, Fr. Mike explains the difference between Godly grief that brings us to repentance, and worldly grief that leads us to destruction. We also learn about the importance of imitating the generosity of Christ. Today's readings are Acts 21, 2 Corinthians 6-8, and Proverbs 29:1-4.
