اعمال 11:19-12

No local church of Jesus Christ progresses beyond its leaders. When Paul made his farewell to the elders he had trained in the church in Ephesus in Acts 20, he presented the record of his ministry with them as an example of true spiritual leadership that faithfully built up the church. As Alistair Begg explains, the transparency, integrity, and urgency he modeled are an example to the church’s leaders today.

In this 5 day reading plan, Bible teachers, authors, and friends Jackie Hill Perry, Jasmine Holmes, and Melissa Kruger walk through Ephesians 1, examining the invaluable truths Paul’s letter holds for us today. Along the way, they’ll help us understand the riches of our inheritance as daughters of our heavenly Father, as well as what it means to walk in a manner worthy of our calling.

At its core, Acts prods us to be evangelistic. But God’s power to save a person and transform their life is God’s power, not ours. God will work through you despite your limitations. This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

This six-day devotional walks through key moments in Acts 17–21 and explores what it means to follow Jesus faithfully in the real world. Through Paul’s ministry, you’ll see how the gospel calls us to know the true God, live as bold witnesses, depend on the Holy Spirit, and choose faithfulness even when it is costly. Each day invites you to reflect on how obedience, humility, and love for others can help more people encounter the life-changing grace of Jesus.
