Throughout these intense encounters, Paul boldly declares, "I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day" (Acts 23:1). His words and actions in these chapters offer insights into how to have a clear conscience before God.Q. How do you cultivate a clear conscience?I'm using “cultivate” on purpose. It's like a tender plant that needs attentionEx: Trying to keep a plant alive or cultivate a gardenIn Greek philosophy, conscience (syneidēsis) was understood as an internal moral compass, a faculty of self-awareness and judgment regarding right and wrong. This is the fundamental problem with the secular idea of conscience: who gets to decide what's right and wrong? Today's Oxford defn: an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior.Our definition of sin (Pursuit Lesson 4): Sin is going your own way, trusting and acting on your own opinions and feelings instead of on God's truth. Hebrew thought associated conscience more with the heart (lev), emphasizing moral responsibility in light of God's law. From The Meaning of “Heart” in Hebrew: the concept of the “heart” is best understood as the “inner person” – the seat of our mind (thoughts), emotions (feelings), and will (intentions).In the NT, we'll see today: in light of Christ's work on the cross and the gift of the HS, having a clear conscience is about submitting your whole self – thoughts, feelings, intentions – to the Way of Jesus. Before we get to Paul's speech in Acts, let's start with his first letter to TimothyThis gives us good context for what we'll be reading in ActsIt also helps us to understand the value of a clear conscienceIt's not just good for you, your inner lifeIt's also good for the people around you, it impacts your ability to love1 Timothy 1:5 (NLT) 5 The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.The purpose = believers would be filled with loveRing a bell? Greatest commandment = LOVEWhere that love comes from:a pure heart, The whole NEW self – thoughts, feelings, intentionsAlready perfected in the court of heaven, not yet here on earthBut the longer...

God has promised Paul will be his witness in Rome, but so far the steps to get there seem unclear, surprising, and even confusing. Luke allows us to see "behind the scenes" to encourage us that God is at work behind the scenes in our lives to care for us, advance his purposes, and deliver us. Join us as we look at "The Deliverance" from Acts 23:23-35.
The book of Acts, also called the Acts of the Apostles, spotlights the fulfillment of the Great Commission. This powerful book was written by the Apostle Luke who also wrote the Gospel of Luke. Join Jerry as he walks through this book and recounts the spread of Christianity from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria and the surrounding world. You will be encouraged by the power of the Holy Spirit at work in the lives of many who were transformed through hearing the gospel and witnessing of miracles.

Presented by Pastor Fred Goebert on February 9, 2025.
As if being rescued from a murderous mob three times weren't enough, now a large group of men solemnly pledge to kill Paul. But Jesus had promised Paul that he will testify about him in Rome, and God intervenes to bring the deadly scheme to light and lay the groundwork for another narrow escape. Join us for “The Plot” from Acts 23:11-22.

A clear conscience before God should be the goal of every Christian. Although it cannot earn us heaven (only Christ can do that), it can give us boldness before men & invite the presence of God into our lives.

Fr. Mike recaps Paul's trial before the chief priests and the plot to kill him in Acts 23. As we conclude 2 Corinthians today, Fr. Mike reflects on the thorn in Paul's side, a weakness that he struggled with and begged God to take away. Fr. Mike invites us to reflect on our own thorn that God doesn't seem to take away, and to remember that God's grace is sufficient for us. Today's readings are Acts 23, 2 Corinthians 12-13, and Proverbs 29:8-11. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
