Acts 18:1-17
Paul repeats his pattern of preaching in the synagogue, getting rejected and moving on to preach to the gentiles. This time he just pops next door and sticks around for a bit longer than usual.
Paul at Athens: idols and inclusion
Acts 17:16-34
A challenge from Acts - how much effort do we make to understand and engage other cultures?
Paul's Method of Mission
Acts 17:1-15
The first half of Acts 17 at first sight looks rather uninspiring, but in fact it contains a vital blueprint on St Paul’s Missionary Method. As we take note of the internal pattern in this passage, the different stages of Mission reveal themselves, and some of them are quite surprising.
The Slaves, The Prisoners, and The Free
Acts 16:16-40
All the characters in this passage are enslaved or imprisoned to various degrees. The only ones who seem truly free are those actually locked inside a prison cell. What's their secret?
Partners in God's Mission
Acts 16:6-15
Caitlin asks how much of Paul’s mission throughout Asia and Greece was lead by God or, lead by Paul. How much of our serving God today should be waiting for him to lead us, and how much should be us making the first move?
Imperfect Leadership
Acts 15:36-16:5
Jim unpacks an awkward moment in the Early Church, as Paul & Barnabas let a disagreement impact their mission. God, in His kindness, uses imperfect leaders to build His kingdom, even people like us.
Radical Resilience
Acts 14:8-28
As Paul and Barnabas continue their evangelistic mission they come against some heavy opposition. They’re somehow able to keep going - how? And why?
Evangelism
Acts 13:44-14:7
Paul and Barnabas risked their lives to tell people about Jesus, over and over again. Some resisted, but to others, that introduction changed their lives. How good are we at introducing people to Jesus?
Word and Power
Acts 13: 4-43
Barnabas and Paul set out on their journey, preaching in synagogues and demonstrating the Kingdom. From Paul we can learn how to share Jesus in relevant ways to our hearers and by using "what we have in our hands".

Acts 1:1-13:3
