A plot was discovered to assassinate Paul. But overnight, Paul was moved to Caesarea. His case would be heard by the Judean Governor. Paul must have wondered what God was doing as he found himself locked up in a Roman cell. But his suffering became a path to greater witness. While it's easy to draw conclusions in our own lives, faith teaches us to recognize more of what God might be doing. Who knows what God might be doing in our own loss, struggle, and discouragement?

Schemes and Rescues Pt 1 / Acts 23 Pastor Adam Christman / 05-24-26 Download

Recorded May 31, 2026 Morning

Ever wonder if God truly sees you in your struggles? In Acts 23, we discover the beautiful truth of being "chosen" by God, the same transformative love that worked in Paul's life extends to you. Your adversity isn't evidence of God's absence; it might be the very place where His providence unfolds, orchestrating circumstances for His glory and your ultimate good.

Acts 23 presented by David Cleland.

Jesus declared that his disciples would be his witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” Early Christians lived out this proclamation in powerful and palpable ways. Today we struggle to witness to those close to us, let alone to those at the ends of the earth. This series offers a glimpse into ways early Christians witnessed. Impacted?

Paul is in good company with Jesus as a man continually put on trial for disrupting the political and religious order of the day. So how does he manage to stand up under interrogating eyes and vicious lies? With SOVEREIGN, GOSPEL, HOPE. Let's look at three ingredients of hope this morning that will aid us in our discipleship pathway.

“God stands nearest when pressure is greatest.” Jesus declared that his disciples would be his witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” Early Christians lived out this proclamation in powerful and palpable ways.

Our last reading ended with a bit of cliffhanger: Paul has just given his testimony to an angry Jewish mob who became even more enraged when he testified that the Lord had sent him to preach salvation to the Gentiles. A centurion arrested him in order to interrogate him by torture, but Paul reveals he is a Roman citizen. In order to find out more, the centurion instead puts him in front of the Sanhedrin, and our reading picks up as Paul gives them an account. Paul cunningly sees a way out and takes it, and the Sanhedrin begin to fight each other rather than Paul. After this, a group of men make a solemn vow to kill Paul, but Paul's nephew discovers the plot and takes action. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

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, where each day we journey together through the pages of Scripture, letting God's Word point us to Jesus, the living Word. In today's episode, your host Hunter guides us through Leviticus chapters 26 and 27, exploring God's promises, warnings, and the ancient covenant He makes with His people. We also finish our reading in Acts chapter 23, witnessing Paul's steadfast faith in the midst of suffering, conspiracies, and threats on his life. Alongside reflections from listener Brad Mason, we're invited to find encouragement in Christ, even in our own dark nights. As we pray together, seek the Lord's peace, and prepare our hearts for the season of Lent, this episode reminds us that, whatever our circumstances, God's presence and purpose for our lives remain steadfast. So wherever you are on your journey, join us and be encouraged—God's joy is our strength, and, as always, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Suffering is not a surprise for the followers of Jesus, and certainly not for Paul. From the moment he meets Jesus on the road to Damascus, the message is clear: suffering will accompany his calling. And yet, with every proclamation of hardship, there is also a prescription—a vision of Christ to sustain him. Paul's journey is filled with adversity, but each ache, each threat, each moment in prison or under accusation, is met with a fresh vision of the Lord himself. Jesus appears to Paul with words of encouragement: "Just as you have been a witness to me here in Jerusalem, you must preach the good news in Rome as well." Be encouraged. That is the living message—not only for Paul, but for us. In every dark hour, every pressure, every threat, God meets us with himself. Jesus says, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age." His purposes for our lives will not fail. Through temporary affliction, he works an eternal weight and glory. Are you suffering today? Are you threatened or burdened? The prescription remains: the vision of Jesus. Look to him. Hold on to the clear sight of the Lord in your midst. This is where encouragement is found. He is present now, working something beautiful, something lasting, through every trial and hardship. Let your heart be encouraged, your eyes fixed on Him. Let this be your prayer—for yourself, for your family, for all whom you love, and for the world. May we live this day holding fast to the vision of Christ, relying on his presence, trusting in his promises. May it be so. 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
