Today we will read Acts Chapter 24 and 25:1-26. 

In our reading today Paul will be put on trial in Caesarea, since he is a Roman citizen and has requested a court hearing in front of a Roman judge. Paul will face his accusers, the Jewish leaders, and be accused of many things that no one can prove to be true. Despite the lack of evidence against him, Paul remained under house arrest for more than two years. 

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about how Paul is having to wait for God's timing to go to Rome, as Jesus told him he would do. How difficult it is to "wait quietly" for God's timing! Today I will share personal experience in my own life going on right now that is requiring me to wait (not so) patiently for God's timing. Today God was reminding me to Be still and know that He is God. Paul, too, would have had to be still and know God is God while he waiting for years to go to Rome, where Jesus told him he would go. During this time of waiting for Paul things could have been worse. He could have been in a jail cell. During our own times of waiting for God's timing we need to remember that things could be worse and we need to remember that in our own lives, just as with Paul's life, God is still in control.

Today we will read about Paul's speech of witness to the people and Jewish leaders in Jerusalem as well as his obedience to God to do the work God called him to do. Lastly, we will see the encouragement that Jesus himself gave to Paul to keep obeying and doing the work God gave him to do.

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about how Paul told the Jewish leaders that he was doing what God wanted him to do every day, even up to that very day. This should be our goal, as well. We need to make obeying God and doing the work He has given us to do every day the biggest part of our daily lives. We will discuss how Jesus encouraged Paul to keep going and in the same way the Holy Spirit will bring us comfort and encouragement as we do OUR work for God, too! It can be tough to get through the hard times of obedience, but we can be encouraged to remember that if God is for us, who can be against us? In this case it looked like all of Jerusalem was against Paul, but even there God was for Paul and delivered him safely to Rome. God will take care of us, too, as we do the work He has prepared for us to do.

Today we will continue to read about Paul's journey to and arrival in Jerusalem with Acts Chapter 2:1-24 and 26-40.

Today we will read about and discuss Paul receiving communication from the Holy Spirit telling him that hard times are coming for him in Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit sent messages via prophecy all along Paul's journey. Today we will read about Agabus, a prophet, who showed and told Paul exactly what would happen to Paul when he used Paul's belt to tie his own hands and feet. He also told Paul that the Jewish leaders would send Paul to people who are not Jewish.  In response to this information the believers around Paul were scared for him and discouraged him from continuing on his journey, to which Paul replied that he would not avoid his calling. 

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about the parallels  that this event has with Jesus' own knowledge of what was going to happen to him. We will talk about the fact that God knows the plans He has for us and He is with us no matter what those plans may be. God does not tell us what is going to happen because He is setting us up for failure. He tells us so that we will be ready for the task that we are going to face. He tells us to encourage us, to strengthen us, the same way that He strengthened and prepared Jesus and as we saw today, Paul. Let us also be encouraged to do God's will, whatever it is He is giving us to do, and not be discouraged from drinking the cup that the Father is giving us to drink.

Today we will pick up in the Book of Acts with Chapter 19:6-12, 16-25, and 27-38.

Today we will read about Paul beginning his journey to Jerusalem. Paul stopped to give some final words to the leaders in Ephesus. His message, in part, was to make sure they remembered to take care of others, especially those who were not strong. Paul reminded the Ephesians that Jesus himself also taught that it was better to give than to receive.

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about Jesus teaching us that even He did not come to be served, but to serve, just as Paul had served the Ephesians when he was with them.  We will talk about how Jesus sent the disciples out not only to tell people about the Good News but to heal people, drive out demons, raise the dead, and heal skin sicknesses because they had been freely given the ability to do these things and they needed to freely use that gift for the benefit of others. We will tie this together with what we have learned recently about everyone having received spiritual gifts. The gifts we have been given are meant to be used for the benefit of others, not something we just keep to ourselves. We have been given so many gifts from God. We need to freely share these gifts with others, especially those who NEED what we have been gifted with! God is so generous with us. We also need to be generous with others and share with them what God has given us. 

As we close our reading session today I pray "that God will help you work together to follow Jesus so that it will seem like you have one heart and together you can show God's greatness. Amen!"

Today we will complete the letter Paul wrote to the Romans with Chapter 15:1-7, 13-15, 23, 25-26, 28, 30-33 and Chapter 16:1-24, 27.

Today Paul will conclude his letter to the community in Rome by reminding the readers of the most important points of his letter. Paul was very passionate about building unity within God's communities. He reminded us as we read his letter today that we are not just to try and make ourselves happy or serve ourselves because not even Jesus tried to make himself happy! instead, Jesus taught us that if we want to be considered great among one other then we need to serve one another. We, being readers of Paul's letter, are to receive the same teaching.

Paul also warned the readers about people who start fights between believers, pointing out that those people are not serving Jesus, but are serving themselves! 

Lastly, Paul shared his desire for God's communities to be wise about what is good and not to have anything to do with what is sinful.

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about being transformed by the renewing of our mind. Sinful thoughts, such as those started by people who want to start fights, pave the way for division within God's body of believers. We need to be mindful of anything that causes us to be divisive. Instead, we need to pay attention to every opportunity to foster unity between one another, such as when I shared that I look for identifying signs such as jewelry or tattoos of crosses, Bible verses, etc. that people wear that let me know they are a believer, and then strike up a conversation with that person, commenting that we are one in the body of believers. 

As we close our reading session today I pray "that God will help you work together to follow Jesus so that it will seem like you have one heart and together you can show God's greatness. Amen!"

Today's reading will continue reading the letter Paul wrote to the Romans. It will include Chapter 13:1,3-14 and Chapter 14:1-14, 17-19, and 22-23.

Today Paul will tell us about why we need to choose to do what is right- not because we are are afraid of getting in trouble for doing what is wrong, but because doing what is right is what God wants us to do and we will feel better when we do what is right. Paul let's us in on a helpful hint: that love helps us obey God's laws. 

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about a wonderful gift that God has given us- the gift of free will. God does not force us to do what is right. He allows us to choose. As we grow spiritually we need to make more decisions based on our understanding of what is right and wrong. Paul previously taught us about the battle that is going on inside us between God's Spirit and our body to do what is right. As we grow in our understanding of knowing God and knowing what He wants us to do we need to use our free will to choose to do what is right because it is the right thing to do, not because we feel we have to, like we did when we were less spiritually mature. (notice how these decisions have little to do with physical maturity (our age), but with spiritual maturity.)

Today's reading will continue reading the letter Paul wrote to the Romans. It will include Chapter 11:1-5, 7-8, 11-12, 17-26, 28-29, 33-34, 36 and Chapter 12:1-2, 4-21.

Today we will read more about God's divine plan to bring the good news to the Gentile nations through the rejection of  Jesus by the Jewish people. Paul will give us a beautiful picture of unity, telling us how we are all grafted into God's olive tree and reassuring us that the Jewish people are going to be rejoined to the tree when they believe in Jesus. 

Paul will also encourage us to work together as a united body, using the spiritual gifts we have each been given to do the good works God has called us do. As an added bonus, we win over sin by doing good! 

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about unity- unity with God because He has put His Spirit within us, unity as one olive tree with many branches, unity with each other in spirit because we all share God's Holy Spirit within us, unity in mind because we have the mind of Jesus, unity in body, as we are all different parts of the same body of believers. We will talk about God's ministry of reconciliation and how it actually goes much deeper than just reconciling believers to Himself. Jesus taught us that a house divided cannot stand. We are meant to be ONE WITH EACH OTHER and part of God's ministry of reconciliation is to reconcile believers to one another, too! God has done this for us with His Holy Spirit, but we need to actively seek unity between one another, remembering all the ways in which we are truly ONE with each other.

Today we will read about and discuss God's wonderful love for us. God loves us so much that He sent His Son to die for our sins, but did you also know that God makes everything turn out for our good? He does! He does this for people who love and follow Him! 

Is this information new to you? Are you wondering how YOU can you follow God and have all these amazing benefits? It's easy! God's Word is already near you! You just need to believe and say with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord." Believe that God made made Jesus come back to life after He died for your sins. When you believe with your heart and say with your mouth that you believe then YOU ARE SAVED! And guess what?!  God and Jesus love YOU! God is on your side! We say that He is for us. And if God for us, then who can possibly be against us? Nothing! No one!  This means that there is absolutely NOTHING that can separate God's love from YOU, not ever! Hallelujah! (Praise the Lord!) WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!!!!

Today's reading will continue reading the letter Paul wrote to the Romans. We will cover Chapter 5:1-4, 6-11, Chapter 6:1-6, 9-13, 15-18, 21-23, and Chapter 7:5-7, 10, 15, 17, 21-25.

Today we will learn about the depth of the meaning of the word Shalom and how it relates to the struggles we have inside us as the sinful body fights against the Holy Spirit that God has placed within us who tell us what is sin, and to avoid doing sinful things as well as how we have shalom despite difficult earthly struggles.

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about how despite this internal struggle (or any other earthly difficulties!) all can be well with our soul because of this shalom that God has given us through Jesus. We will also talk about choosing who we will serve- our sinful self or God. We cannot serve both the sinful nature of ourselves and God. Since we are no longer slaves to sin we therefore choose to serve God. Our bodies have become the temple of the Living God. That means that our body is God's House, so we need to choose every day who we will serve. "As for me and my house (body) (I) will serve the Lord." 

We will also read Horatio Spafford's hymn It is Well With My Soul . We will talk about claiming this gift of shalom that Jesus gives us and USING IT, not just being aware of it with head knowledge, to live out our faith the way Horatio Spafford did, when he wrote the beloved hymn after the death of two of his children and the loss of his financial investments that he had made just one day prior to the Great Chicago Fire.

Today's reading will continue reading the letter Paul wrote to the Romans. We will cover Chapter 2:1-11, 25-29, Chapter 3:1-2, 9-31, and Chapter 4:1-8, 13, 17, and 19-25.

Today we will read about how faith in God is what makes us right with God, not attempting to follow the Law, because no one is perfect. No one can follow the law completely. We will read about how Abraham was made right with God because he believed God's promises to him and trusted God to fulfill His Word.

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about how trustworthy God is and how we h have seen God's faithfulness throughout the year as we have been reading the Bible. With the same faithfulness that God has always had in other people's lives, we can trust Him to be faithful in OUR lives, no matter how "bad" situations look. Nothing is impossible for God. Nothing is too hard for Him. It is impossible to please God without faith in Him. Trusting in God is one of THE VERY MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE CAN DO.
