In Acts 21, Paul and his team are wrapping up their third missionary journey. Paul has decided his next stop will be Jerusalem, despite repeated warnings that he will face persecution and imprisonment there. Still, he believes the Lord is leading him to go, so he continues on to Jerusalem. It is highly unlikely that any of us will be arrested for our faith in Christ. And I don't think the Bible is teaching us that we should pursue being arrested in order to follow Paul's example. But we do often find ourselves in situations where obedience to God may come with real consequences. So how should we respond?

Big Idea: Courage comes from Christ's presence and promise. I. Courage through a clear conscience (22:30-23:10) II. Courage through Christ's presence (v.11) III. Courage through Christ's protection (v.12-22)  IV. Courage through Christ's promise (v.23-35) Discussion Questions:  1. How does a clear conscience give a Christian courage, and what tends to rob us of that courage? 2. What does Christ's presence mean for believers when circumstances do not immediately improve? 3. Why is the resurrection such a central source of Christian courage and hope? 4. How have you seen God's protection or provision come through ordinary people and everyday circumstances? 5. What does this teach us about trusting Christ's promises when obedience leads to difficulty rather than relief?

This Sunday, we looked at Acts 22:30-23:11, where the apostle Paul faces intense hostility—yet God uses that very pressure to grow Paul's character and advance the gospel mission. Scripture reminds us that our trials are not accidents; they are “necessary” moments where God strengthens our faith and shapes our witness. Just as Paul's opposition became a surprising doorway for gospel opportunity, our own hardships can become platforms for clarity, credibility, and courage. When we respond to suffering with trust instead of panic, and faith instead of fear, people around us see the power of Christ at work in real time. Our message this Sunday is called Resistance and Refinement. Let's explore how God uses the struggles we'd never choose to accomplish the purposes we could never imagine—and how our response to hardship can shine the hope of Jesus to a watching world. Join us each Sunday at 9 or 11AM as we seek our Lord Jesus with you all. Hope you will join us and invite a friend.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode for February 15th, Heather invites listeners into day 46 of our journey through the scriptures. We'll explore key readings from Leviticus 25, Psalms 25 and 26, and Acts 22, reflecting on themes like Sabbath rest, the Year of Jubilee, and the transformative power of God's love. Heather shares insightful commentary—particularly on Paul's testimony in Acts, unpacking how a single word can become a stumbling block to God's work in our lives. She encourages us to listen closely when the Holy Spirit challenges our assumptions and idols, and leads us in a series of heartfelt prayers for God's guidance, peace, and restoration. Join us to encounter scripture, find encouragement for your spiritual walk, and be reminded that, above all, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: What is the one word that stands between you and transformation? As Heather points out in today's reflection, Paul's testimony in Acts 22 captivated the crowd—until he uttered a single word: Gentile. For them, this word encapsulated their identity, their justification, their hope before God. It became an idol—a thing they staked their lives on, something so central that its mention caused outrage and shut down any openness to God's new work. But Heather reminds us that this is not just their story—it's ours too. Each of us has a word, a source of hope or identity we are tempted to lean on, justify ourselves with, or make ultimate. That word might be family, career, riches, reputation, or something else. When challenged, it creates a crisis in our hearts. Like Paul's crowd, we can revolt, shout, and shut down, all because someone has put their finger on the thing we can't bear to surrender. Yet, the gospel isn't stopped by irritated idols—it seeks out and transforms them. The Holy Spirit will often put his finger on those deep places we make ultimate, those sacred words we won't let go of. Sometimes, they are even good things, but when they take the place of Christ, we must let the Spirit speak, even if it causes discomfort or a visceral response. Pay attention when the Spirit challenges these places in your life. What is your word? What causes a halt in your journey with God? Let Christ be supreme in all things. When the idols in your heart come out swinging, don't ignore them. Instead, allow the Holy Spirit to bring transformation, to make Jesus the center of your hope and identity. This is my prayer for myself, for my family, and for you: May the Spirit give us ears to hear when God speaks, even if the word stings. Let us lay down every idol and let Christ reign, so the gospel may bring its true freedom, joy, and love into our lives. Amen. (Matches the example's tone, structure, and format, drawing directly from Heather's devotional in 21:32.) TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Listen along as we continue through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 22:30-23:35 - Jack Title: The Second Speech “[God] upholds heaven and earth with all creatures and so governs them that herbs and grass, rain and drought, fruitful and barren years, meat and drink, health and sickness, riches and poverty, indeed, all things come not by chance, but by his fatherly hand.” - Heidelberg Catechism  “The doctrine of providence teaches Christians that they are never in the grip of blind forces (fortune, chance, luck, fate); all that happens to them is divinely planned, and each event comes as a new summons to trust, obey, and rejoice, knowing that all is for one's spiritual and eternal good.” - J. I. Packer “And yet I decide, every day, to set aside what I can do best and attempt what I do very clumsily--open myself to the frustrations and failures of loving, daring to believe that failing in love is better than succeeding in pride….“Hoping does not mean doing nothing. It is not fatalistic resignation. It means going about our assigned tasks, confident that God will provide the meaning and the conclusions. It is not compelled to work away at keeping up appearances with a bogus spirituality. It is the opposite of desperate and panicky manipulations, of scurrying and worrying. And hoping is not dreaming. It is not spinning an illusion or fantasy to protect us from our boredom or our pain. It means a confident, alert expectation that God will do what he said he will do. It is imagination put in the harness of faith. It is a willingness to let God do it his way and in his time. It is the opposite of making plans that we demand that God put into effect, telling him both how and when to do it. That is not hoping in God but bullying God.” ― Eugene H. Peterson
