Welcome

Today, we explore Acts 21:1-14 and follow the Apostle Paul on his journey to Jerusalem—a journey marked by warnings of trouble. Together, we’ll uncover the profound truths about facing hardship while walking in God’s will and discover how obedience to Christ sometimes means stepping directly into the storm.

Episode Notes

Title: Paul and the Journey to Jerusalem: A Study on Trouble and God's Will
Scripture Reference: Acts 21:1-14

Summary:
In this episode, we reflect on Paul’s determination to follow God's will despite repeated warnings of suffering and danger in Jerusalem. We’ll explore:

• The warnings Paul received through the Spirit and the reactions of his fellow believers.
• The distinction between choosing suffering and choosing God's will, even if it brings trouble.
• The pressure from others to avoid hardship and how Paul remained resolute in his mission.

Key Lessons:

• Obedience to God’s will does not guarantee a life free from trouble; in fact, it may lead us straight into difficulty.
• Faithful discipleship requires trust in God's sovereignty and a willingness to sacrifice comfort for the sake of His purposes.
• True courage comes from confidence in God's perfect plan, even when the path ahead is unclear or challenging.

Reflection Question:
When facing difficult choices, are you willing to trust God’s will, even if it leads to personal sacrifice or suffering?
