Pastor Vince leads us through the conclusion of the Book of Acts. Ask yourself—where is your heart? How is your heart? Are you really into simply preaching Christ? Where have you gone astray?
In this last chapter of Acts, Paul comes ashore on Malta and is bitten by a viper while putting wood on a fire, and the islanders conclude he is a murderer getting what he deserves. When he does not die they decide he is a god. He winters on the island, heals the father of the leading man there, and sails for Italy in the spring. He reaches Rome in custody and spends two years in a rented house at his own expense, receiving anyone who will come and making the case for Jesus out of Moses and the Prophets. The Rev. Caleb Adams, senior pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Bend, OR, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 28:1-31. To learn more about Trinity in Bend, visit trinitylutheranbend.org. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Paul finally arrives in Rome. But for all the difficulty in arriving, the final image is humble. Paul does what he has done in nearly every city before. Instead of a dramatic ending, Acts concludes with an image of faithfulness and the promise that nothing can hinder the gospel from going forward.

Shippwrecked on the island of Malta, Paul still faced danger. Bitten by a snake, Paul was again saved by God's power and used it as an opportunity to bear witness to those on the island. Pastor Barry Kinzer walks us through the passage.

Pastor Corey Johnsrud concludes our series Uncontainable: The Acts of the Apostles with a message from Acts 28 on Sunday, July 19th 2026 at Kent Covenant Church.
By Jonathan Garnant - It has been 5 years we have studied Acts where the early Church saw repeated persecution and rejection, they also saw miracle after miracle. What was it that encouraged them, inspired them to preach the Jesus Christ that we can emulate today? The answer is a word which appears more in Acts than any

Send us a message!We finish the Book of Acts by following Paul from shipwreck on Malta to house arrest in Rome, watching how God turns setbacks into open doors. I also wrestle with the abrupt ending of Acts and ask what it looks like to treat our own “stuck” moments as mission fields. • Acts as the story of Jesus working through obedient people • The question of what “the acts of” our lives would reveal • Proverbs 16:9 and the gap between our plans and God's steps • Acts 28 highlights: Malta's kindness, the viper bite, healings on the island • Paul's arrival in Rome and the courage that comes from other believers • Paul's message to Jewish leaders and the mixed response to Jesus • Why Acts ends where it does and what we can infer about Paul's death • “Caesar's household” and the gospel reaching unlikely places • Practical application: airports, hospitals, waiting rooms as opportunities to share hope At outloudbible.com, you can find free resources to help you study the Bible.

Acts ends without a resolution. No final verdict for Paul, no tidy conclusion. That might feel unsatisfying until you realize the story was never meant to end. The book of Acts is the story of the church, and the church is still here. We are not spectators reading ancient history. We are the next chapter, built on the foundation the apostles laid, with Christ as the cornerstone.
Acts 28 presented by David Cleland.
Acts 28:1-28
Life rarely goes according to plan, and neither did Paul's. Shipwrecked, stranded, and then snake-bitten the moment things seemed to be looking up, the Apostle Paul had every reason to despair. Yet in Acts 28, we discover three timeless truths for moving forward after the storm: God's promises outlast the chaos, His purposes are often found in life's detours, and He uses His people to carry us through.
The book of Acts ends with a strong phrase: "without hindrance." Despite Paul being chained in prison, the gospel continued to advance unhindered. The story didn't end with the apostles, it continues through us today.We're called to expect difficulty, witness boldly, and hope eternally. The gospel has spread from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth through generations of faithful believers. Now it's our turn. This isn't someone else's responsibility. It's ours. How will you write the next chapter?Acts 1:8 reminds us: "You will be my witnesses...to the ends of the earth." The story of Jesus continues in you, through your prayers, your boldness to share faith, your care for others, and your invitation to experience God's love. What will be said about how God worked in you and through you?
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. In this closing look at the book of Acts, we confront the reality that God isn't looking for perfect conditions or perfect people—He is looking for available ones. The story is still being written.

In this episode, Erick, Daniel, and Bob finish the book of Acts. Paul is bitten by a viper and is completely unconcerned about it. He arrives in Rome and speaks to the leaders there. And though on house arrest, the gospel continues to spread. Have a listen.
