Apollos | Acts 18:24–28

If you are a follower of Jesus, God expects you to be a key player in someone else’s spiritual journey. He has given you gifts, talents, abilities, and resources to do that—and He has given you His Holy Spirit to empower you. The question is, are you doing what He has equipped, empowered, and called you to do? Do you know how to get started in that direction?

The Philippian Jailer | Acts 16:25–34

It's interesting to see what God uses to bring people to faith in Christ. Today, we're going to see God use the prayers and worship of two prisoners to bring their jailer to Christ. We're going to see the miracle of freed men sitting contently within a jail, because they knew they had a greater purpose in what they were going through. God wasn't going to waste their predicament, and we'll meet the Philippian Jailer in Heaven one day because of it.

Lydia | Acts 16:13–15

God is constantly working in the background of our lives. He is always doing things in us and around us of which we are profoundly unaware but upon which we are utterly reliant. That’s what happened to Lydia, and her life was transformed.
