Focusing on two individuals in Acts 16, this text reveals to us that an act of God is required in all people in order for their spiritual conditions to be changed. You cannot enter the kingdom academically, or through any human advantage, but through the working of God.

It seems very common that the 21st century church is marked by splits and sharp disagreements, but God’s desire for His church is that we would be strengthened and united… so how do we do that when we’ve been brought up to look out for ourselves? Acts 15:36-16:5 is the text for this message.

Acts 15 is about more than a culture clash between the Jewish church and the Gentiles who were newly being saved.

There are a lot of exciting things that happen in Acts chapter 13. We see the start of the first missionary journey, we hear of Barnabas and Saul traveling across an island sharing the gospel, and we read of a conflict between the apostles and a magician… but there is something else in the chapter, something often overlooked- how involved the Holy Spirit is in the lives of Christ’s people.

Acts 12:20-24 is probably one of those verses we are tempted to read through quickly; maybe even thinking that it has little bearing on us. But this text teaches us at least two things- that God is Sovereign, and that God is to be taken seriously.
