When the Struggle is Prolonged | Acts 19:1–41

Just because something is not easy doesn’t mean God hasn’t called us to it. What’s more, the struggle of a moment definitely doesn’t mean God won’t see us through it! Listen in as we learn from the Apostle Paul’s time in Ephesus and pray, “Lead me, Lord, when the struggle is prolonged.”

When I Need Reassurance | Acts 18:1–17

Sometimes in life, we face circumstances that cause us to need reassurance that God is there, loving us, leading us, and extending His mercy to us. As He did for Paul in Corinth, God provides that reassurance for us when we look to Him in faith. Join us as we learn how and pray together, “Lead me, Lord, when I need reassurance.”

When Evil Surrounds Me | Acts 17:16–34

When Paul was in Athens, surrounded by the wickedness of pagan idolatry, he stood firm in the strength of God’s might. He loved the people enough to tell them about Jesus, and God used Paul’s Spirit-filled efforts to change eternity. God can use you, too! We'll see how from His Word today.
