Have you ever felt like you were wasting your time? Whether that be in our daily activities and the endless to do lists, our relationships with others, our time with God, our time at church and even inviting others to church.

Recent Headlines illustrate what happens if companies forget their identity and try to re-brand their image. That same chaos happens when people who've committed to follow God forget their identity and try to re-brand to become accepted. The question is how do you follow God in a world that doesn't?

When we first committed ourselves to Follow God's Lead in our life, we thought God would open every door. It can be hard to accept, when it doesn't happen like we expect! But why would you follow God when He keeps on closing doors? What do you do when the God who's supposed to make a way, seems like He's just in the way? The events in Acts 16 teach us not to allow disappointment to disengage us from Following God.

Dean Doug Sweeney sits down with Quinn Fox, who serves as chairman of the board of Pro Ecclesia, the Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology, which is hosting its 2026 conference at Beeson.

The bible emphasizes the importance of living in unity with others. Psalm 133:1 says, 'How good & pleasant it is when God's people dwell together in unity!' John 17 says, 'Jesus prayed His followers would be united, so the world would know He was sent by God.' Ephesians 4:3 tells us, ‘Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit thru the bond of peace.' But sometimes, people who are committed to following God, just disagree! That issue is at the heart of Acts 15, which we will be exploring today.

Everything has a lifespan regardless of how useful it is. The same is true of people. Acts 13:36 tells us that David served God's purpose in His own generation, then he died and was buried with his ancestors. His body went back to dust.

It's always a challenge to teach kids how to share and it always seems like the first word toddlers learn to say is, “NO!” followed by a close second which is the word, “MINE!” Children will do that in an attempt to be in control of their life. This is also the case for those who are younger in Christ! How do we overcome this and mature as believers?
