The Apostle to the Gentiles at Work
Acts 20:1-16

This week Paul begins the long voyage back to Jerusalem to conclude his third missionary journey. We also read about an averted tragedy, that Paul was used by God to resurrect a young lad named Eutychus. He fell asleep and then fell from a window in the middle of church!

Despite being an easy opportunity for jokes, this story is not about the importance of staying awake during a long sermon. In Acts 20:1-16 we are going to see how the ministry of the Apostle Paul is both a model for us and how his ministry was validated.

As you read the sermon text, consider the example we have in the apostles’ ministry. Pray also that we would be encouraged by the hope of new life in Christ. See you tomorrow!

You ever meet a couple who just makes you want to follow Jesus more?

Not because they’re flashy.
Not because they’re famous.
But because there’s just something deeply steady, wise, and faithful about them.

Tomorrow in Acts 18, we meet a couple like that: Aquila and Priscilla. Ordinary Christians who quietly gave themselves to the long work of strengthening others with the Word of God — and God used their faithfulness in extraordinary ways.

In a world obsessed with platforms, influence, and visibility, this text reminds us that some of the most important kingdom work happens quietly. Around dinner tables. In living rooms. In conversations after church. In opening the Bible with someone one-on-one.

This Sunday, we’ll see how Jesus strengthens His people through His Word, His Spirit, and ordinary saints who are willing to faithfully invest in others.

🤔Two things to think about before tomorrow:
• Who has God used to strengthen your faith over the years?
• And who might God be calling you to strengthen right now?

🙏🏾Two things to pray about:
• Pray that God would deepen our love for His Word.
• Pray that God would use our church to raise up faithful men and women who strengthen others for generations to come.

See you soon!

If the local church is a family… at some point, you stop standing at the front door and come inside.

That’s really what church membership is about: joining a faith family, committing to a certain people that we live out our identity as the family of God together 🙌🏿

Not joining a club. Not adding your name to a list. But committing yourself to a local church family—to worship together, grow together, serve together, and follow Jesus together.

The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone or at a distance. Jesus gives us the local church so that we might be known, encouraged, corrected, cared for, and equipped to persevere in the faith together.

Have you ever shared your faith and you thought it went well … only to find out later that it wasn’t received well?

You got pulled aside by your boss, reprimanded, or maybe got a text that a said it wasn’t appreciated?

Heartbreaking.

Then, the next time you feel like you should share the gospel, you remember that last time … and think, “Maybe I don’t want to get into that again?”

You’re not alone.

In fact, that’s what our text is all about this week in Acts 18 as Paul feels that pressure.

Opposition is rising, the cost is real… and it’s then where Jesus meets him and says:

“Do not be afraid… keep speaking… don’t be silent… I am with you.”
(Acts 18:9–10)

This isn’t a call to be fearless — it’s a call to be faithful.

Because Jesus hasn’t changed. He’s still with His people. Still building His Church. Still using ordinary lives to do it.

And that’s what we are going to see this weekend.

Two Things to Think about:

1) Where are you tempted to stay quiet right now?

2) What would it look like to take one step of boldness?

Two Ways to Pray in Preparation:

1) That Jesus would steady your heart when fear creeps in.

2) That He would use you to open doors for the gospel this week.

See you soon!

Looking for ways to get connected?

One of the best on-ramps is by joining a Sunday Serve Team and, right now, we have a few open slots to serve we’d live to let you know about:

☕ Hospitality (doors + coffee)
🛠️ Service Support (setup, teardown, cleanup, security)
👶 Trails Kids Leaders

If you’re not currently serving and are open to helping, this is a great place to jump in.

You and I aren’t neutral towards God …
We’re already worshipping something.

That’s the honest truth that Paul preaches to those in Athens in Acts 17:16–34.

Athens, as we know, was as the intellectual capital of the world… thinkers, philosophers, culture-shapers everywhere.

And when Paul arrived into this city, he:

1) studies the culture.
2) understands the people.
3) And then drops truth right in the middle of it.

Preaching:

👉 You don’t actually know God.
👉 You’re worshipping what you don’t understand.
👉 And the God you’ve ignored? He’s now calling you to repent.

Bold. Direct. Unapologetic.

And here’s the tension we’re stepping into:

We live in a culture just as “spiritual”… just as thoughtful… just as full of idols.

So the main question we will be weeerlting with is: how do we speak about Jesus in that world?

Things to think about before the gathering:

1) What are the “idols” people around me are already giving their lives to?

2) Am I actually paying attention to my culture—or just reacting to it?

Things to pray about:

1) That God would open eyes to truly know Him—not just think about Him

2) That we’d grow in clarity and courage to speak about Jesus in everyday conversations

Come ready. This one will sharpen you. 🔥

Got questions?
Good.

That’s how we grow.

Tomorrow, right after our gathering, we’re hosting a Pastor’s Q&A

This is the perfect space to:

- ask theological questions
- learn more about stances our church has on various topics
- find out some new methods to share the gospel with others
- ask about making disciples more effectively
- bring up any other topic that you might want some clarity on.

No pressure. No “perfect question” required.

Bring your questions. Stay for the conversation.

Ever had one of those moments where something finally clicks… and now you can’t unsee it?

That’s exactly what happens in our text this weekend, Acts 17:1-15.

As the gospel moves from city to city, a pattern begins to emerge. What once felt random suddenly has structure.

And once you see it… you can’t unsee it.

This Sunday, we’re going to see how Jesus actually builds His church:

- the gospel is proclaimed
- a people is formed
- opposition comes

…. and the mission keeps moving

And here’s the thing—this isn’t just what happened then… it’s what we should expect now.

Two things to think about:

1️⃣ Have I embraced my role in proclaiming the gospel… or stayed silent?

2️⃣ Do I interpret opposition as failure… or as part of God’s plan?

Two things to pray about:

1️⃣ Ask God to give you boldness to speak about Jesus this week

2️⃣ Ask God to help you trust Him when results and responses vary

See you Sunday.

There’s something powerful about these moments.

Not perfect people. Not cleaned-up lives.
Just ordinary people saying, “I’m following Jesus.”

Baptism isn’t the finish line—it’s the first step of obedience.

It’s going public with what Jesus has already done in your heart.

Maybe you were at our Easter gathering.
Maybe you watched someone step into the water, heard their story, and something in you stirred.

That’s not random.

Jesus calls His followers to be baptized.
And if you’re trusting Him, that invitation is for you too.

If that’s been on your mind lately—we’d love to talk with you.

No pressure.
Just a conversation about what it means to follow Him.

Let’s take that next step together.

Three people.
Nothing in common.
One gospel that changes everything.

Thai is what we will see as we dive back into Acts 16 this week and see how the church in Philippi was planted—not through strategy or similarity, but through the power of the gospel.

And as we do, we meet three very different people
1) a businesswoman
2) a demon possessed slave girl
3) a Roman jailer.

From the outside perspective, they have nothing in common… and yet Jesus saves them, transforms them, and brings them together as one family.

That’s the beauty of the gospel: Jesus saves the unlikeliest of people and makes them His church.

And if you’re a Christian, you have this same story. Jesus found you, transformed you, joined you to a local church for your growth in godliness and so that you might use the gifts the Spirit has given you to be a vital member of that local church.

So, as you prepare for this weekend, reflect on your own story—how God pursued you—and pray for those in your life who feel “too far gone.”

Remembering: No one is beyond His reach.

2 ways to pray this weekend:
• For God to save those far from Him
• For our church to grow in unity and love

2 things to think through:
• The story of your own salvation
• How God knits you together with a local church to, together, show forth the mystery of salvation that binds together those who once had nothing in common.

See you soon 🙌🏼
