Paul had the opportunity to share his testimony with a crowd of zealous Jews who had just tried to kill him. Paul could relate to them, having once been a zealous persecutor of the church himself.

Paul arrives in Jerusalem and meets with James and the elders of the church. They come up with a plan to appease the zealous Jews in Jerusalem, but things don't go according to plan.

The Holy Spirit gave multiple prophetic warnings that trouble awaited Paul in Jerusalem. Everyone was telling Paul not to go to Jerusalem, but Paul knew in the Spirit that he had to go there.

The church today is not all that different from the church in the days of Acts. Jesus is still working in his church.

When a revival started in Ephesus, the sale of Artemis shrines dropped significantly. A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines, stirred up a riot after seeing the loss of business. As God's kingdom impacts the culture, persecution against the followers of Jesus will increase.

God was doing extraordinary miracles through Paul. But when the Seven Sons of Sceva tried to mimic Paul's authority, a demon possessed man overpowered them and wounded them. In response to this power encounter, many people of Ephesus confessed and divulged their practices and burned their books of magic.

Paul found some disciples in Ephesus. After explaining the way of God more accurately to them, they were baptized in the name of Jesus, and baptized with the Holy Spirit. Paul stayed for two years in Ephesus teaching the Word of God, so that all the residents of Asia heard the Word of God.

Paul ends his second missionary journey after leaving Corinth and passing through Ephesus. He leaves Priscilla and Aquila in Ephesus to help strengthen the church there. While in Ephesus, they meet a Jewish man named Apollos. After hearing him speak in the synagogue, they privately take him aside and explain God's message to him more clearly.

When Paul first came into Corinth, he was met with opposition. Paul was afraid, but Jesus appeared to him in a vision and said, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” Paul discovered that community and friendship helped him overcome fear, and he stayed in Corinth for a year and a half.

When Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy to come to Athens, he was provoked in his spirit because of the idolatry he saw in the city. Paul knew he had to start telling people about Jesus. Paul then found himself preaching on the Areopagus in Athens, a famous hill where philosophers taught and debated new ideas. Paul preached Jesus and the resurrection. Our message is a person, not a philosophy.

The Word of God continued to spread throughout Macedonia by the missionary efforts of Paul. Cities like Thesselonica and Berea were impacted with the gospel, and the message of Jesus spread out from those cities.

Paul and his missionary team go to Philippi, and after Lydia gets saved they go to find a place of prayer. On the way they are met by a demonized slave girl, but she gets saved. Then Paul and Silas are thrown in prison, and the jailer also gets saved. These are three great testimonies of salvation in Philippi.

Paul began the second missionary journey by taking Silas to Derbe and Lystra, and there they met Timothy, a young disciple. Timothy joined Paul, and so did Luke, and the Holy Spirit led them to Macedonia to start a new work of God in Europe.

The Jerusalem council united over an agreement of how people are saved, but then Paul and Barnabas divided over a disagreement about John Mark.

Paul and Barnabas faced many tribulations during their first missionary journey, including being mistaken as gods in Lystra, to then being stoned and left for dead. They continued to spread the gospel everywhere they went, while strengthening the souls of the disciples and appointing elders in every church.

The gospel continues to spread, but not without persecution. The gospel is a polarizing message - some will believe, and some will refuse to believe.

Paul preached the Word of God in the city of Antioch Pisidia. The Word of God spread throughout the whole region. Many believed, but some of the Jews rejected the Word and thrust it aside.

Paul preached a sermon in a synagogue, and he was able to systematically work through the Word of God to show that Jesus is the Christ.
