For many men, work feels like a grind—a paycheck, a necessity, or a burden. But in God's kingdom, work is never wasted. From the garden of Eden, God gave Adam the responsibility to cultivate and keep it. Work has always been part of man's calling, not a curse. Faithfulness in work isn't about climbing the corporate ladder—it's about honoring God in everything you do, no matter how big or small. When you see your work as worship, it changes everything.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” — Colossians 3:23 (ESV)Paul's words here are clear—whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord. That means faithfulness in work isn't about who notices you, praises you, or pays you. It's about knowing your ultimate Boss is Jesus Christ.Faithfulness means showing up on time, giving your best, and finishing what you start. It's resisting the temptation to cut corners when no one's watching. It's treating people with respect—whether they're above you or under you.Brother, your work is part of your witness. The way you handle responsibilities, the way you deal with pressure, the way you treat coworkers—all of it points people to the God you serve. Even the most mundane task becomes sacred when you do it with excellence for Him.It's easy to separate work from faith—as if worship only happens on Sundays. But Scripture makes no such division. Work done with integrity, diligence, and gratitude is worship. And when you approach your labor with that mindset, you transform your workplace into a mission field.Faithfulness in work doesn't mean being perfect—it means being consistent. Day after day, task after task, you honor God through your effort, your attitude, and your integrity. That's how you build a legacy that lasts far beyond your career.Question of the Day:Are you working to please men—or are you working as an act of worship to God?Mini Call to Action:Before you start your work today, whisper a simple prayer: “Lord, I do this for You.” Let that shift your perspective and your effort.Prayer:Lord, help me to see my work the way You see it. Teach me to labor with excellence, not for the approval of men but for Your glory.

When we bow our heads, it's natural for our prayers to center on us—our needs, our pain, our struggles. But one of the clearest signs of spiritual maturity is when prayer shifts outward. When you choose to step into the fight for someone else. That's intercession. It's when you stand in the gap, not for your benefit, but because someone else desperately needs Heaven to break through. And God, in His mercy, chooses to move through your faith on their behalf.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people.” — 1 Timothy 2:1 (ESV)Paul wasn't suggesting here—he was commanding. “All people.” That means more than the safe circle of friends and family. It means the coworker who irritates you. The politician you disagree with. Even your enemies. Intercessory prayer is bold. It stretches your heart to match the heart of Jesus, who “always lives to make intercession” for us (Hebrews 7:25).Brother, when you pray for someone else, you are literally stepping into Christ's current ministry in Heaven. You're linking arms with Him in His role as Intercessor. That's powerful.But don't overcomplicate it. Effective intercession isn't about impressive phrases or marathon prayers—it's about alignment. It's about love. It's listening for what God desires in that person's life and agreeing with it. True intercession isn't twisting God's arm—it's saying “Yes, Lord” to His will and standing in faith until it breaks through.And make no mistake—this is warfare. To intercede is to battle for someone's freedom, healing, and destiny. Your prayer can be the shield that stops the enemy's attack, the sword that cuts through confusion, or the torch that lights their way out of darkness. Sometimes your intercession is the very thing that tips the scales.So when God places a name or face on your heart, don't dismiss it. That's not random. That's an assignment from Heaven. Don't ignore it. Because your prayer could be the difference between despair and hope, bondage and freedom, defeat and victory.Question of the Day:Who is God asking you to intercede for today—and are you willing to fight for them in prayer?Mini Call to Action:Take five intentional minutes. Shut the door, silence distractions, and go to war in prayer for the one God places on your heart. Then let them know—you're praying.Prayer:Lord, make me a faithful intercessor. Give me Your heart for others. Teach me to hear Heaven's agenda and pray it boldly. Let my prayers move mountains, bring freedom, and release breakthrough over those You love.Let's Get To Work!Your intercession is not wasted—it's ammunition in someone else's war.Thanks for reading My Reasons To Believe!

One of the greatest privileges of prayer is intercession—praying for others. It's easy to make prayer only about ourselves, our needs, and our struggles. But discipleship calls us to lift up those around us—to carry their burdens before the throne of God. When you pray for others, you are partnering with Heaven to release blessing, protection, and breakthrough into their lives.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people.” — 1 Timothy 2:1 (ESV)Paul's words to Timothy remind us that intercession is not optional—it's foundational. Prayer is not only about our walk with God but about advancing His Kingdom in the lives of others. Intercession is one of the most selfless acts of love a disciple can give.So how do we pray for others effectively?* Pray specifically. Don't just say “Lord, bless them.” Ask God to reveal specific needs—healing, courage, provision, wisdom. Call out their name before the Father.* Pray Scripture. Nothing strengthens prayer like aligning it with God's Word. Pray verses of hope, healing, and strength directly over their situation.* Pray persistently. Jesus taught persistence in prayer through the parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18). Don't give up after one prayer—keep lifting them up until the breakthrough comes.* Pray with compassion. Let your heart feel their burden. True intercession flows from love, not obligation.When you intercede, you are literally standing in the gap for someone else. Ezekiel 22:30 tells us that God looked for someone to stand in the gap. Today, you can be that person.Never underestimate how your prayers can shape someone's destiny. You may not see immediate results, but your intercession invites God's hand into their life in ways unseen. And often, as you pray for others, God begins to soften and strengthen your own heart as well.Question of the Day:Who in your life is God calling you to pray for today with intentionality and faith?Mini Call to Action:Pick one person and commit to intercede for them daily this week—by name, with Scripture, and with expectation.Prayer:Lord, give me a heart of compassion for others in prayer. Teach me to intercede faithfully, to pray Your Word over their lives, and to believe for breakthroughs on their behalf. Use me as one who stands in the gap.Let's Get To Work!Your prayers for others matter.

Most people don't struggle with praying once—they struggle with praying consistently. We wait until crisis strikes, and then we rush into prayer. But a disciple's strength is not built in the moment of battle—it's built in the daily rhythms of devotion. Just like a soldier sharpens his sword long before he enters the fight, we must develop a steady, disciplined prayer routine that strengthens us for whatever lies ahead.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Pray without ceasing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ESV)Paul's instruction to “pray without ceasing” doesn't mean walking around mumbling prayers nonstop. It means cultivating a lifestyle of constant connection with God—a rhythm where prayer becomes as natural as breathing. And that begins with building a routine.A prayer routine anchors your life. Just as Daniel prayed three times a day even when it was dangerous, you too need a rhythm that keeps you connected to the Father no matter what comes. It could be mornings with Scripture and prayer, evenings reflecting with gratitude, or short breaks during the day to pause and reconnect.Consistency is more powerful than intensity. A one-hour prayer once a month won't change your life nearly as much as ten minutes of focused prayer every day. Discipline builds intimacy. And over time, your routine becomes less of a checklist and more of a lifeline—something you crave, not something you have to force.Here's the truth: the enemy fears a praying disciple. He knows that if you build a consistent routine of prayer, you will become unshakable. That's why he distracts you, busies you, and convinces you prayer is optional. But prayer is never optional—it is oxygen for your soul.Start small but be consistent. Choose a set time, protect it fiercely, and let God meet you there. Over time, your routine will grow into a lifestyle, and your lifestyle into a testimony of God's faithfulness.Question of the Day:Do you treat prayer as a routine rhythm or as an occasional response?Mini Call to Action:Pick one specific time each day this week for prayer. Write it down, guard it, and let nothing else take its place.Prayer:Lord, help me to build a consistent prayer routine that strengthens my walk with You. Teach me discipline, remove distractions, and fill my set times with Your presence.Let's Get To Work!Prayer routines build spiritual muscle. Start small, stay consistent, and watch your strength in God grow.Thanks for reading My Reasons To Believe!

The mark of a true disciple isn't just personal growth—it's reproduction. Jesus didn't say, “Go and become great followers.” He said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19). Discipleship was never meant to end with you; it was designed to multiply through you.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“…and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.” — 2 Timothy 2:2 (ESV)Paul's instruction to Timothy shows us the multiplication model:* Receive from a faithful teacher.* Entrust it to faithful people.* Equip them to teach others.It's a chain of discipleship that spans generations. But here's the problem—many believers break the chain by holding onto what they've learned without passing it on.Multiplication requires intentionality. It's not about being a spiritual “expert”; it's about being available and willing. You might think, “I'm not ready to mentor someone.” But Jesus didn't wait until His disciples had it all together—He began training them while they were still learning.To multiply disciples, you must:* Model the life of a disciple—live what you teach.* Mentor intentionally—walk with people through their spiritual growth.* Mobilize them—equip them to serve, lead, and disciple others.This is more than a Bible study—it's life-on-life investment. It means inviting people into your world, letting them see your faith in action, and teaching them to follow Christ not just with knowledge but with their whole lives.When you multiply disciples, your influence for the Kingdom extends far beyond your own life. You're planting seeds in people who will reach others you may never meet. That's the power of Kingdom multiplication—it never stops.If your faith has changed you, don't let it stop with you. Pass it on. Multiply it. Leave a legacy of disciples who make disciples.Question of the Day:Who is one person you can begin intentionally discipling this month?Mini Call to Action:Pray and ask God to highlight someone in your life to begin walking with spiritually. Commit to meeting regularly and sharing what you've learned in Christ.Prayer:Lord, thank You for those who have poured into my life and helped me grow in You. Give me eyes to see those around me who are ready to be discipled. Give me the courage to step out, the humility to serve, and the wisdom to guide them closer to You. Help me to multiply what You've placed in me for Your Kingdom's sake. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Don't just be a disciple—become a disciple-maker who leaves a spiritual legacy that multiplies for generations.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Grace. It's one of those words we say often—but underestimate deeply. Grace isn't just a polite theological idea. It's not soft. It's not passive. Grace is power. It's the explosive force of God that meets you where you are and refuses to leave you there. Today, we're diving into the power that holds you up when you feel like you're falling apart.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 (ESV)Paul wasn't asking God for a promotion—he was asking for relief. He had a thorn in the flesh, a weakness that frustrated him. And God's response wasn't to remove the pain… but to pour in grace.We often think grace is just what gets us saved. But it's also what keeps us standing. It's the strength behind your “yes” to God when everything in you wants to collapse. It's the voice that says “keep going” when shame screams “you've failed.”Grace doesn't ignore your brokenness—it speaks to it. It doesn't wait for you to get stronger—it enters into your weakness and makes space for God's strength to take over.If you've failed, fallen, or feel disqualified, hear this: Grace doesn't just cover your past. It empowers your future. It's not a license to sin—it's the divine strength to walk free from it.That's the power of grace: unearned, unstoppable, unshakable. And it's available right now… for you.Question of the Day:Where in your life do you need to stop striving and start leaning into the grace of God?Mini Call to Action:Write down today's scripture and carry it with you. Whenever you feel weak, whisper it aloud and remind your soul: His grace is enough.Let's Pray:Father, I confess—I try to do too much in my own strength. Remind me again that Your grace is enough. Fill the places where I am empty, and teach me to rest in Your power. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Grace isn't a backup plan. It's your lifeline. Lean on it today.

We get so consumed with what's happening around us, we forget what's waiting ahead. The world screams for your attention—crisis, headlines, chaos—but God whispers, “There's more. There's a crown. Keep running.” Today's episode is a reminder to lift your eyes off the battlefield… and onto the finish line.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.” — 2 Timothy 4:8 (ESV)Paul wasn't guessing. He was confident. There is a reward for those who finish well. And not just for apostles or prophets—for all who long for Christ's return.This isn't about salvation—you don't earn that. This is about reward. The crown. The commendation from Jesus Himself. “Well done, good and faithful servant.”Living with eternity in view changes how you handle today. You stop needing man's approval. You start loving with eternal purpose. You choose purity, not because of rules, but because of reward. You forgive, not because they deserve it, but because you don't want to carry baggage to the throne room.Eternity recalibrates your decisions. It clarifies your mission. It infuses every act of obedience—no matter how small—with eternal value.Let the world chase fame. You're chasing faithfulness. Let others build castles in the sand—you're building a life on the Rock. And when the trumpet sounds, you won't be running to hide… you'll be running to receive.The crown isn't for the perfect. It's for the ones who endured. Who loved His appearing. Who didn't quit when quitting looked easier. Who lived with eternity in their gaze and fire in their hearts.Question of the Day:Are you living for the now… or for the day you stand face to face with Jesus?Mini Call to Action:Spend five minutes today imagining the moment Jesus places a crown on your head. Let that vision fuel your faith and focus.Let's Pray:Jesus, help me live with eternity in my view. Remind me why I run. Strengthen me to press on when the race feels long. And let me never lose sight of the joy set before me—You. Amen.Let's Get To Work!The world is temporary. Eternity is forever. Keep running. Keep reaching.

We get so consumed with what's happening around us, we forget what's waiting ahead. The world screams for your attention—crisis, headlines, chaos—but God whispers, “There's more. There's a crown.

There's not one of us who doesn't have a past. There are chapters we wish we could rewrite, seasons we wish we could erase. But here's the good news—God's grace doesn't just cover your story, it transforms it. You're not who you used to be. Grace has made you new. Let's talk about that miracle today.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain.” — 1 Corinthians 15:10 (ESV)Paul—the same man who once hunted Christians—wrote this verse. And instead of hiding his past, he declared: “By the grace of God, I am what I am.” He didn't pretend. He didn't deny his failure. But he also didn't let it define him.That's what grace does.Grace doesn't just say, “You're forgiven.”It says, “You're changed.”Your identity isn't shaped by where you've been—it's shaped by where Jesus is taking you.When you receive God's grace, you're not just covered—you're transformed. You're empowered to live differently. You start responding with compassion instead of pride. You see others through mercy, not judgment. You live with purpose instead of shame.And here's the beauty: His grace is never in vain. Even your broken pieces get redeemed. Even your biggest regrets can become part of your testimony.Don't resist grace. Don't reduce it to a “get out of jail free” card. Let it transform you. Let it make you someone new.Question of the Day:Have you truly let God's grace change how you see yourself—or are you still living like your past defines you?Mini Call to Action:Today, say this aloud: “By the grace of God, I am not who I was—I am becoming who He created me to be.” Write it. Speak it. Believe it.Let's Pray:Jesus, thank You for the grace that changes everything. Help me not only to receive it—but to live from it. Transform my heart, my thoughts, and my identity through Your mercy. Amen.Let's Get To Work!Grace doesn't erase your story—it redeems it.

Pressure doesn't mean you're losing—it often means you're getting closer to breakthrough. The enemy doesn't waste his ammo on someone going nowhere. So if you're feeling pressed, stretched, or surrounded, it might just mean you're standing exactly where God wants you. Now the question is—will you stay there?Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13 (ESV)Paul wasn't writing a motivational slogan—he was delivering a command to the weary, the under fire, and the under pressure.Be watchful.Keep your eyes open. The enemy is subtle—he slips in through offense, temptation, busyness, even good things that distract you from God things.Stand firm.This isn't the time to retreat. When the pressure increases, the call isn't to run—it's to plant your feet. Faith doesn't mean you don't feel the weight. It means you don't collapse under it.Act like men.Be courageous. Show up when it's uncomfortable. Speak truth even when it costs you. Fight for your family, your faith, your future.Be strong.But not in your own strength. In the Lord's. In His might. When yours runs out, His keeps going.Here's the truth: pressure exposes where your faith is rooted. If your roots go deep, the storm may bend you—but it won't break you. And when you stand firm under pressure, you don't just survive—you witness. You show others what it looks like to remain when it would be easier to run.Question of the Day:Where are you tempted to give up under pressure—and what truth will you plant your feet on today?Mini Call to Action:Write out 1 Corinthians 16:13. Post it somewhere visible this week. Every time pressure rises, read it aloud and stay grounded.Let's Pray:Lord, strengthen me when pressure mounts. Help me to stand when I feel like sitting down, to believe when it's easier to doubt. I choose to hold the ground You gave me. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Pressure doesn't define your faith—your stance does. Hold the line. God is with you.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

We've all heard about the armor of God—maybe you memorized it in Sunday School or highlighted it in your Bible. But the armor wasn't given to decorate your bookshelf. It was meant for battle. Real armor. Real war. And today, we're stepping into the action.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” — Ephesians 6:11 (ESV)Paul wasn't writing theory when he described the armor. He was under Roman guard, likely chained to soldiers, and very aware of what armor was meant for: protection, preparation, and perseverance.Let's break this down for battle:* Belt of Truth – This isn't just about honesty. It's about being anchored in what God says—even when your feelings scream the opposite.* Breastplate of Righteousness – Not your righteousness—His. It guards your heart when the enemy tries to bring up your past or disqualify you.* Shoes of the Gospel of Peace – Your foundation is peace. You walk into battle knowing your steps are ordered by God, not driven by fear.* Shield of Faith – Every lie, every fiery dart, every discouragement? Your faith in God extinguishes them when held up daily.* Helmet of Salvation – Guard your mind. Remember who you are in Christ and whose you are.* Sword of the Spirit – The Word of God isn't just comfort—it's your weapon. Speak it. Declare it. Fight with it.This isn't passive gear—it's active armor. And you don't put it on just once. You wear it every day, through prayer, worship, and truth.Don't go into spiritual battles unarmed. You've already been given everything you need to stand strong.Question of the Day:Which piece of armor are you least intentional about wearing—and how can you strengthen it today?Mini Call to Action:Choose one piece of armor you've overlooked. Look up a verse connected to it and pray that truth over your life today.Let's Pray:Father, clothe me in Your armor. Make me battle-ready. Remind me to walk in truth, righteousness, peace, and faith—and to wield Your Word with boldness. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!The armor only works if you wear it—and the battlefield won't wait.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Sickness shakes us. Loss devastates us. When the body begins to fail or when someone we love slips from our arms, our theology gets tested. It's in these moments that faith either crumbles—or deepens. And it all depends on where we anchor our hope.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.” — 2 Corinthians 4:16 (ESV)Paul doesn't minimize suffering—he reframes it. He reminds us that while the body grows weaker, God is doing something powerful in the unseen places. In the hospital bed. In the quiet hospice room. In the slow fading of strength. God is not absent—He's active, renewing us from the inside out.Illness is never easy. Whether you're the one fighting or the one watching a loved one suffer, the pain is real. The questions are real. The weariness is heavy. But the promise of God is this: you do not have to lose heart.Your value is not measured by physical ability. Your faith is not invalidated by emotional struggle. Your strength is not found in your muscles—it's in your spirit, and God is the One renewing it day by day.Loss may take someone from your life, but it cannot take the promises of eternity. Healing may not come how you prayed—but God's presence will never fail to show up.We walk by faith—not by what we see, not by what we feel, but by the truth that Jesus is still the Healer, the Comforter, and the Resurrection and the Life.Question of the Day:How is God inviting you to trust Him right now—in your weakness, or in your grief?Mini Call to Action:Take a few minutes today to speak 2 Corinthians 4:16 out loud. Declare it over your body, your mind, or someone you love who's suffering.Let's Pray:Lord, I bring my weakness and my pain to You. I choose to trust Your hand when I don't understand Your plan. Renew me from the inside out. Give me strength for today and hope for eternity. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!The body may break, but the Spirit never stops rising.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Marriage isn't about flashy moments or picture-perfect Instagram posts. It's about the quiet, daily choices to love, even when it's hard. That's the heartbeat of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8—where love is more than a feeling; it's action, sacrifice, and patience in motion. But Paul doesn't start there. Just before diving into the “love chapter,” he makes a stunning statement: Without love, I am nothing.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." — 1 Corinthians 13:1 (ESV)Paul's words cut deep. He's saying you can be gifted, spiritual, and even sacrificial—but if love isn't present, it all rings hollow. And this applies profoundly to marriage. You can provide, protect, plan, and pursue… but if you're not loving your spouse the way God defines love—patiently, kindly, selflessly—then you've missed the very foundation.In God's economy, love is the core. Everything minus love equals nothing. Real love in marriage is seen when a husband chooses to serve his wife even after a long day. It's when a wife chooses grace over criticism. It's listening when you'd rather speak. Forgiving when you want to keep score. That kind of love isn't natural—it's supernatural. It's the love Christ shows us every single day.If your marriage feels dry or disconnected, maybe it's time to stop measuring effort and start asking: Is this being done in love?Question of the Day:Are your actions in marriage driven by genuine, Christ-centered love—or are they just noise without substance?Let's Pray:Lord, help us strip away every action done for show and fill our marriages with true, selfless love.

사도행전 (Acts) 17:1-15 [새번역/ESV] 데살로니가와 베뢰아에서 바울의 새로운 사역 Paul's New Ministry in Thessalonica and Berea 사도행전 시리즈 48 2025-03-23 주일 예배 설교 1 바울 일행은 암비볼리와 아볼로니아를 거쳐서, 데살로니가에 이르렀다. 거기에는, 유대 사람의 회당이 있었다. Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 바울은 자기 관례대로 회당으로 그들을 찾아가서, 세 안식일에 걸쳐 성경을 가지고 그들과 토론하였다. And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 그는, 그리스도께서 반드시 고난을 당하시고 죽은 사람들 가운데서 살아나셔야 한다는 것을 해석하고 증명하면서 "내가 여러분에게 전하고 있는 예수가 바로 그 그리스도이십니다" 하고 말하였다. explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.” 4 그들 가운데 몇몇 사람이 승복하여 바울과 실라를 따르고, 또 많은 경건한 그리스 사람들과 적지 않은 귀부인들이 그렇게 하였다. And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women. 5 그러나 유대 사람들은 시기하여, 거리의 불량배들을 끌어 모아다가 패거리를 지어서 시내에 소요를 일으키고 야손의 집을 습격하였다. 그리고 바울 일행을 끌어다가 군중 앞에 세우려고 찾았다. But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the crowd. 6 그러나 그들을 찾지 못하고, 야손과 신도 몇 사람을 시청 관원들에게 끌고 가서, 큰 소리로 외쳤다. "세상을 소란하게 한 그 사람들이 여기에도 나타났습니다. And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also, 7 그런데 야손이 그들을 영접하였습니다. 그 사람들은 모두 예수라는 또 다른 왕이 있다고 말하면서, 황제의 명령을 거슬러 행동을 합니다." and Jason has received them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” 8 군중과 시청 관원들이 이 말을 듣고 소동하였다. And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard these things. 9 그러나 시청 관원들은 야손과 그 밖의 사람들에게서 보석금을 받고 놓아주었다. And when they had taken money as security from Jason and the rest, they let them go. 10 신도들은 곧 바로 그날 밤으로 바울과 실라를 베뢰아로 보냈다. 두 사람은 거기에 이르러서, 유대 사람의 회당으로 들어갔다. The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. 11 베뢰아의 유대 사람들은 데살로니가의 유대 사람들보다 더 고상한 사람들이어서, 아주 기꺼이 말씀을 받아들이고, 그것이 사실인지 알아보려고, 날마다 성경을 상고하였다. Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. 12 따라서, 그들 가운데서 믿게 된 사람이 많이 생겼다. 또 지체가 높은 그리스 여자들과 남자들 가운데서도 믿게 된 사람이 적지 않았다.

사도행전 (Acts) 17:1-15 [새번역/ESV] 데살로니가와 베뢰아에서 바울의 새로운 사역 Paul's New Ministry in Thessalonica and Berea 사도행전 시리즈 48 2025-03-23 주일 예배 설교 1 바울 일행은 암비볼리와 아볼로니아를 거쳐서, 데살로니가에 이르렀다. 거기에는, 유대 사람의 회당이 있었다. Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 바울은 자기 관례대로 회당으로 그들을 찾아가서, 세 안식일에 걸쳐 성경을 가지고 그들과 토론하였다. And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 그는, 그리스도께서 반드시 고난을 당하시고 죽은 사람들 가운데서 살아나셔야 한다는 것을 해석하고 증명하면서 "내가 여러분에게 전하고 있는 예수가 바로 그 그리스도이십니다" 하고 말하였다. explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.” 4 그들 가운데 몇몇 사람이 승복하여 바울과 실라를 따르고, 또 많은 경건한 그리스 사람들과 적지 않은 귀부인들이 그렇게 하였다. And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women. 5 그러나 유대 사람들은 시기하여, 거리의 불량배들을 끌어 모아다가 패거리를 지어서 시내에 소요를 일으키고 야손의 집을 습격하였다. 그리고 바울 일행을 끌어다가 군중 앞에 세우려고 찾았다. But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the crowd. 6 그러나 그들을 찾지 못하고, 야손과 신도 몇 사람을 시청 관원들에게 끌고 가서, 큰 소리로 외쳤다. "세상을 소란하게 한 그 사람들이 여기에도 나타났습니다. And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also, 7 그런데 야손이 그들을 영접하였습니다. 그 사람들은 모두 예수라는 또 다른 왕이 있다고 말하면서, 황제의 명령을 거슬러 행동을 합니다." and Jason has received them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” 8 군중과 시청 관원들이 이 말을 듣고 소동하였다. And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard these things. 9 그러나 시청 관원들은 야손과 그 밖의 사람들에게서 보석금을 받고 놓아주었다. And when they had taken money as security from Jason and the rest, they let them go. 10 신도들은 곧 바로 그날 밤으로 바울과 실라를 베뢰아로 보냈다. 두 사람은 거기에 이르러서, 유대 사람의 회당으로 들어갔다. The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. 11 베뢰아의 유대 사람들은 데살로니가의 유대 사람들보다 더 고상한 사람들이어서, 아주 기꺼이 말씀을 받아들이고, 그것이 사실인지 알아보려고, 날마다 성경을 상고하였다. Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. 12 따라서, 그들 가운데서 믿게 된 사람이 많이 생겼다. 또 지체가 높은 그리스 여자들과 남자들 가운데서도 믿게 된 사람이 적지 않았다. Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men. 13 데살로니가의 유대 사람들은, 바울이 베뢰아에서도 하나님의 말씀을 전하는 것을 알고서, 거기에도 가서, 무리를 선동하여 소동을 벌였다. But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Berea also, they came there too, agitating and stirring up the crowds. 14 그 때에 신도들이 곧바로 바울을 바닷가로 떠나보냈다. 그러나 실라와 디모데는 거기에 그대로 남아 있었다. Then the brothers immediately sent Paul off on his way to the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there. 15 바울을 안내하는 사람들이 바울을 아테네까지 인도하였다. 그들은 바울에게서, 실라와 디모데가 할 수 있는 대로 빨리 그에게로 와야 한다는 지시를 받아 가지고, 베뢰아로 떠나갔다. Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens, and after receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.

Maranatha Bible Church (MB Church) (Northwest Chicago Area) #MaranathaShabiba | #DanielBatarseh | #mbcchicago | #mbchicago Acts 18:1-17 (ESV) Paul in Corinth 18 After this Paul[a] left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, 3 and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks. 5 When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. 6 And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” 7 And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. 8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. 9 And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” 11 And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews[b] made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal, 13 saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law.” 14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. 15 But since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.” 16 And he drove them from the tribunal. 17 And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this. Footnotes a. Acts 18:1 Greek he b.

Is it not you? 20 For you are our glory and joy.

Acts 26:1-32 (ESV)Paul's Defense Before Agrippa26:1 So Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and made his defense:2 “I consider myself fortunate that it is before you, King Agrippa, I am going to make my defense today against all the accusations of the Jews, 3 especially because you are familiar with all the customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.4 “My manner of life from my youth, spent from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem, is known by all the Jews. 5 They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee. 6 And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers, 7 to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews, O king! 8 Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?9 “I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10 And I did so in Jerusalem. I not only locked up many of the saints in prison after receiving authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them. 11 And I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them blaspheme, and in raging fury against them I persecuted them even to foreign cities.Paul Tells of His Conversion12 “In this connection I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13 At midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, that shone around me and those who journeyed with me. 14 And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.' 15 And I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?' And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. 16 But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you, 17 delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—to whom I am sending you 18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'19 “Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20 but declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance. 21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me. 22 To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass: 23 that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.”24 And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind.” 25 But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking true and rational words. 26 For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak boldly. For I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this has not been done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” 28 And Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?” 29 And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am—except for these chains.”30 Then the king rose, and the governor and Bernice and those who were sitting with them. 31 And when they had withdrawn, they said to one another, “This man is doing nothing to deserve death or imprisonment.” 32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”

Psalm 19:1-6 | The Heavens Declare the Glory of God from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe Scripture: Psalm 19 THE HEAVENS DECLAR THE GLORY OF GOD JESUS IS THAT SUN C. S. Lewis I take this to be the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the greatest lyrics in the world. Romans 1:19–20 (ESV) For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Romans 1:22–23 (ESV) Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Acts 28:26–27 (ESV) — Paul quotes Isaiah at the end of Acts … You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed 2 Corinthians 4:6 (ESV) For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Finishing up Acts ------------------ Acts 28:17-31 (ESV) Paul in Rome 17 After three days he called together the local leaders of the Jews, and when they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. 18 When they had examined me, they wished to set me at liberty, because there was no reason for the death penalty in my case. 19 But because the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar—though I had no charge to bring against my nation. 20 For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am wearing this chain.” 21 And they said to him, “We have received no letters from Judea about you, and none of the brothers coming here has reported or spoken any evil about you. 22 But we desire to hear from you what your views are, for with regard to this sect we know that everywhere it is spoken against.” 23 When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets. 24 And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. 25 And disagreeing among themselves, they departed after Paul had made one statement: “The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet: 26 “‘Go to this people, and say, “You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” 27 For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.' 28 Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.” 30 He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, 31 proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.   ------------------ 5 Core Values of SWAT 1.

David Grey and Craig Henderson close out the week Craig's recent overseas trip Still some room in the trip to Israel the day after Thanksgiving SWAT Training Day is August 5th Next week the last week of Act ------------------ Acts 28:1-31 (ESV) Paul on Malta ​1 After we were brought safely through, we then learned that the island was called Malta. 2 The native people showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold. 3 When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. 4 When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.” 5 He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. 6 They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god. 7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days. 8 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him, healed him. 9 And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured. 10 They also honored us greatly, and when we were about to sail, they put on board whatever we needed. Paul Arrives at Rome 11 After three months we set sail in a ship that had wintered in the island, a ship of Alexandria, with the twin gods as a figurehead. 12 Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days. 13 And from there we made a circuit and arrived at Rhegium. And after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli. 14 There we found brothers and were invited to stay with them for seven days. And so we came to Rome. 15 And the brothers there, when they heard about us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them, Paul thanked God and took courage. 16 And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who guarded him.   ------------------ 5 Core Values of SWAT 1.

Don't grow weary of doing good The Great Banquet "HIs Only Son" New ad campaign Links: https://www.nefgb.com/events ------------------ Acts 26:1-18 (ESV) Paul's Defense Before Agrippa ​1 So Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and made his defense: 2 “I consider myself fortunate that it is before you, King Agrippa, I am going to make my defense today against all the accusations of the Jews, 3 especially because you are familiar with all the customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently. 4 “My manner of life from my youth, spent from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem, is known by all the Jews. 5 They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee. 6 And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers, 7 to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews, O king! 8 Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead? 9 “I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10 And I did so in Jerusalem. I not only locked up many of the saints in prison after receiving authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them. 11 And I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them blaspheme, and in raging fury against them I persecuted them even to foreign cities. Paul Tells of His Conversion 12 “In this connection I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13 At midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, that shone around me and those who journeyed with me. 14 And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.' 15 And I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?' And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. 16 But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you, 17 delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—to whom I am sending you 18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' ------------------ 5 Core Values of SWAT 1.

Why should we live like those who follow Jesus? What difference does it make? "Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame." 1 Corinthians 15:33-34 ESV Paul seems to caution us that bad company ruins good morals. We can be a negative influence. In fact, if we didn't know about life after this life, we wouldn't be responsible. But Psalm 19:1 points out that all of creation points to God. Therefore if we don't live like we know there is an eternal life, we are part of the problem. It seems Paul is quoting something here, but it was commonly known. It even is today. You've heard sayings like, "Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future." So our challenge today is to wake up! Do not go on acting like there is no God. Some of the people we interact with today have no knowledge of God. Do you want to be part of their celebration in eternity? Or do you want to be part of their eternal separation from God? Those are the 2 outcomes! How we live matters. What we do matters. It all matters. Today, ask God to show you where you need to change. A friend recently told me about this prayer: "Lord, how do you want me to trust you?" Ask God that question and write down what he says? Then do it. He may want you to purchase a lunch or give an enormous tip. Let's be people who live like we know this to be true. We will experience more joy in this life and the next. Also, please pray for this ministry. God is calling us to a new season. We need leaders who will help us scale this ministry so dozens of churches or businesses can take marketplace mission trips at the same time. We have proven, tested, practical activities that will help any marketplace Christian realize there is a calling for their life today. Now we need to grow, and I can't do it on my own. Please pray for leaders who will help us scale this idea and mobilize believers over the entire globe. Prayer is the key. The job is too big to simply write a plan. Voice a prayer for us today and let's see God mobilize his body for his glory! Thanks.

The written word. 2 Peter 3:15b-16 (ESV) Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. 1 Timothy 5:18 (ESV) For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer deserves his wages.” The quotes are from Deuteronomy 25:4 and Luke 10:7. b.

Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 5:20–21 ESV) Paul gives a beautiful picture. It is also a beautiful picture of […] The post Grace Abounded (Ezekiel 19-20) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

Eutychus Raised from the Dead 7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. 8 There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered. 9 And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. 10 But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.” 11 And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. 12 And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted. 13 But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land. 14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene. 15 And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chios; the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after that we went to Miletus. 16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia, for he was hastening to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.   Paul Speaks to the Ephesian Elders 17 Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called the elders of the church to come to him. 18 And when they came to him, he said to them: “You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, 19 serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews; 20 how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, 21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. ------------------ 5 Core Values of SWAT 1.
