Alongside our Sunday teachings, we’re keeping things simple. We’ll be reading through the book of Acts, featuring the many unique voices of the ClearView Church congregation. Each week, we’ll release two chapters, followed by a few reflection questions.
In this episode, you’ll hear a brief introduction from Pastor Phil, followed by a reading of Acts 21 and some reflection questions from a member of our congregation.
Read along with the following reflection:
This chapter is remarkable. There is this juxtaposition of praise to God for the thousands who have believed and then a riot breaks out and the chapter ends with Paul’s arrest. What might God be saying to us through these excerpts from Acts?
Did you notice who God uses to protect Paul? Not fellow believers, and definitely not his former Jewish tribe - but Roman officials - the very people we might expect to oppose him and the advancing gospel message. What might this tell us about God's sovereignty and the unexpected ways He works?
As you listened to the chapter, what was the Holy Spirit drawing your attention to?
Perhaps there were other ideas, words, or phrases that captured your attention. Linger over them and ask God any questions you may have. Pray your life to God and take a moment to rest in His presence.
