Daily Readings: Acts 24 and Psalm 92 In Luke 21:12 Jesus warned His disciples: “They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.” Acts 24 presented Paul with his first opportunity to witness to a Roman

Daily Readings: Acts 23 and Psalm 91 11 The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, ‘Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.’ If you have ever had a very, very tough day, you’ll understand how difficult that night would have been for Paul. Paul

Daily Readings: Acts 22 and Psalm 90 At first glance it might seem as though everything got completely out of control for Paul in Jerusalem in Acts 22. But the sovereign hand of the Lord was at work behind the scenes. Despite his best efforts to clearly honour his Jewish responsibilities to the rules of

Daily Readings: Acts 21 and Psalm 89 Determined to fulfil the Lord’s calling, Paul travelled to Jerusalem.

Daily Readings: Acts 17 and Psalm 85 The mission to Thessalonica was very successful. Having preached the Gospel of Jesus convincingly to the members of the local synagogue on three Sabbath days, we read: ” 4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite

Daily Readings: Acts 16 and Psalm 84 Acts 16 includes the fascinating account of the Holy Spirit’s very hands-on guidance of Paul, Silas and Timothy’s mission. First the Spirit kept them from preaching in the Roman province of Asia (modern-day Turkey). Then He would not allow them to enter Bithynia. It’s not that the Lord

Daily Readings: Acts 15 and Psalm 82 “It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements …” (v.28) Acts 15 reflects a watershed moment in the history of Christ’s Body, the Church.
