Through Paul's defence before Felix, we discover the value of a perfect heart before God and men, and examine how we can cultivate one in our lives.

We examine how God's protective agenda over Paul's life was worked out despite the broken Roman judicial system, to inspire our confidence in the unmovable kingdom we have been called into.

We continue to follow Paul's defence and unpack in this episode the marks of an unstoppable life - knowing and fulfilling your calling, sensitivity to the person of the Holy Spirit, and alignment with the will of God.

We examine three interlocking themes that emerge from Paul's follow-up defence: living in good conscience before God, the spirit of wisdom and discernment, and the lessons from Jesus' commendation of Paul's faithful witness in Jerusalem.

In Paul's first public defence, he leans on his story and the weight of the heavenly calling before the principles of his mind. We explore the value of a testimony as a witness to Jesus through Paul's story and the testimony of Ananias' life.

We examine, through Paul's life, how to always be full of zeal and fervency for God's work and His will, despite the variance of circumstances we encounter.

We summarize the key layers in discerning God's will from Paul's posture towards his mission from God.

We continue to examine the marks and rewards of an intentional or disciplined life and examine how to be ready, like Paul, to live out our calling in every circumstance.

Living and building intentionally begins by anchoring our lives on the whole counsel of God, captured in the gospel of His grace, which provides for our salvation, sanctification, and empowerment to live out our calling.

In this episode, we follow Paul to Macedonia and Greece, and examine the value of divine detours, especially those that create an opportunity for fellowship.

We completed our study of Acts 19 (verses 21–41), centered on the sovereignty of God as the defining theme — His unstoppable work, the role of faithful consistency, and how to defeat spiritual strongholds.

We focus on three key themes: God working unusual miracles through Paul independent of Paul's direct involvement; the authority to use the name of Jesus; and how the Word of God can prevail in us and through us. We close the session with personal prayers of repentance and supplication for cleansing from and removal of any "accursed" thing in or around our lives, so the Word of God may be exalted.

We follow Paul to Ephesus where we see the intersection between reason and reality, the necessity of the Holy Spirit's baptism as a doorway into the reality of our faith, and the fruitful model of reasoning with the Word that propagated the Gospel message throughout Asia.

Our faith, though a mystery, is conceptually and coherently framed and captured by the Word of God, making the Word our most effective tool in the assignment of witness and making disciples of all nations. We examine why the Word wins, using Paul's 18-month adventure in Corinth as a model of the fruits of faithful engagement and perseverance in the Word.

In this episode, we explore the fascinating idea that our lives are to be windows of grace to those we work and relate with daily, using Paul's tent-making trade, and continued witness to the Jews, as a model. We conclude with a cry to be witnesses - vessels whose lives a windows of grace to our generation, through our consecration and saturation with God.
