When we finished Romans yesterday, we’re all rooting for Paul to head to the capitol of civilization, and then head to Spain. But when Paul first met Jesus decades ago, He told Ananias that Paul will see how much he will suffer for Jesus’ sake (Acts 9:16). From the very beginning, Jesus has marked Paul’s life for success and suffering. Oh, he’ll go to Rome, alright, but in chains. Our pastor at Red Rocks Church this week noted how Mary was chosen, and chosen both for “great trouble and high favor.” I realized that God speaks to us (He sure was, to me) that “I have chosen you to go through what I’m putting you through.” Whew. This journey of grief in this Christmas season is no accident. A good God allows suffering, because as my daughter said, “There is purpose in the pain.”
Please say a prayer for me. I have an ear infection which is causing ringing in my ear. I'm standing on God's promises and his divine healing in my body. Please be my prayer partner and agree for my healing🙏
Yes! I’m like, “wait, what? Just one more!!” I may have told a few people yesterday that I am addicted to loving reading the Bible and TBR has really helped me find that love as I am learning to understand and the spirit is revealing so much to me! I have invited a few people to join is in 2025… so far the invitations have been declined… but I pray that the Spirit may stir them to try it out with us! Maybe they’ll have the same “problem“ we have! 😂
“But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus-the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.” Acts of the Apostles 20:24 NLT This verse stood out to me today because to me it highlights the extremely strong passion and love Paul has for Christ; furthermore, it shows how Paul is not only willing to sacrifice his own life for Christ, but to spread the good news to others and better their lives. How in incredible is it that Paul is willing to die, not only for his God but also for those around him, it reminds me so much of Jesus and how we all should attempt to mimic and act like. God bless y’all today✝️💪
Aloha, praise the Lord, and good morning BR. I am so grateful to this plan because the name books are not new but the words in the Testaments are. It's truly a blessing to have this opportunity everyday reading, sharing, and understanding God's words in this world of uncertainties. Whatever the situation is lean on God's everlasting arm and hold to His unchanging hand. He is where the JOY!!! 🙏
Wow. There was a lot that occurred. Paul went from place to place, preaching the gospel and checking on the churches that he helped to plant. He knew that he was destined to go to Jerusalem, even though there was opposition awaiting him. Paul walked in the power of the Holy Spirit. Even though he knew what would happen in Jerusalem, he followed the will of God. That is tremendous faith. My God shot came from Acts 23:11. The Lord stood by Paul and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome.” When you are following the will of God, even if it's a difficult task, He will provide the strength to do the work. God certainly works all things together. He's in all of the details, and He's where the joy is! Yes and Amen!
I want to thank each and everyone of you for your prayers the other day. My Brownie is home. She is paralyzed, but she isn't in any pain. We will keep a close eye on her, and see how the meds go. If all goes well. We will get her a wheelchair. Thank you again. I pray that you all have an amazing week. I love you all so much. ❤❤❤
Prayers love and peace to each other is the best thing we can do to each other! Having faith in what we are praying for is always heard by our Lord Jesus Christ! Have all a blessed Tuesday!✝️🙏❤️🌹
"in ALL the schemes of ALL the things" God is in the detail, how encouraging is this to me, that no small thing in my eyes about my life, is unnoticed by God, praise the Him 🙌🏼 my #GodShot was how God choose Paul, a Jew, a Roman citizen, knowing Hebrew, knowing Greek to teach the Gospel, God plans in detail 🌺
My God-shot: God let me finish course and testify of your grace, love, adoption, and power until there’s no breath left in my body. Let me bring you glory. I love you Lord. ”But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.“ Acts 20:24 ESV
Paul remained faithful in obedience to what God had revealed him to do. He was also faithful to inform Paul just what he would have to endure. I admire the military involvement in Paul’s protection and transportation. Totally avoiding the murderous plan of the Jewish leadership. I think it is noteworthy that they thought they were serving God’s plan in their plot to kill Paul. Best to never underestimate demonic deception at work in our culture.
“The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”” Acts 23:11
Keep a close watch on what you believe; this was a lesson in the early church that applies the same today. Use God’s word to help you evaluate and weigh all teaching to make sure it is consistent with scripture.
Acts 20:24..."my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace." There is nothing more important than this task.
In Acts 22:21-22, the crowd shows their ignorance of the scriptures, that God always intended, ever since Abraham, to bring the Gentiles into His kingdom. Knowing Who God is and what He has planned always is grounded in His word.
Nice try buddy I’ve still got 2 points in my sermon and he raises Utticus from the dead. Paul reminds them to keep a close watch of what they believe because even people in the church with deter them. They see Paul I’m the temple they try to spread lies about Paul. He went to jail and in jail he is not alone God is there my God shot was how Paul went through so many different things but is still spreading the gospel. He is using him for this purpose. He knows exactly when an where to use ppl to spread the word. He is where the joy is 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Around four minutes in, she says something about Agabus doing a sign act and adding emotion to what the Holy Spirit revealed to him? Can somebody point me to a reference why she is interpreting this?
21:11 Agabus took Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands with it… When she said “sign act” I thought of it like a visual aid or acting out of what was going to happen.
My God Shot was when Paul knew that he was going to be arrested and imprisoned and the people tried to tell him not to go to Jerusalem where this would happen. Paul responded in Acts 21:14, "Let the will of the Lord be done." Reminded me of Jesus in the garden praying "Not My will, but Yours be done." (Luke 22:42). Paul showed us how to follow Jesus and trust His will no matter what.
I don't think she was talking about Agabus himself. I think she was talking about the response of the people when they heard what Agabus prophesied (Acts 21:12). I think it's interesting that Luke seems to include himself in this urging of Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
I feel that Paul was actually being sarcastic when he hits the High Priest, then said he didn't "realize"he was the High Priest, because in Acts 22.5 already Paul acknowledges the High Priest as the one who already knew his whole background.

What a blessing to have this Bible Recap 🙏
Anyone else have a hard time stopping 😆 it's the best book I've ever read from the old to the new
Yes! I’m like, “wait, what?

I love how YHWH orchestrates the details our lives. He is indeed perfect in all of His ways!

Hey Bible Readers!
"in ALL the schemes of ALL the things" God is in the detail, how encouraging is this to me, that no small thing in my eyes about my life, is unnoticed by God, praise the Him 🙌🏼 my #GodShot was how God choose Paul, a Jew, a Roman citizen, knowing Hebrew, knowing Greek to teach the Gospel, God plans in detail 🌺
Amen. So good! You are a detailed Father. 🙏🙋🏻♀️
Amen Tara-Leigh Cobble!
Thank you, TLC- Excellent Recap!
My God-shot: God let me finish course and testify of your grace, love, adoption, and power until there’s no breath left in my body. Let me bring you glory. I love you Lord.
”But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.“
Acts 20:24 ESV
Amen!

I admire the military involvement in Paul’s protection and transportation. Totally avoiding the murderous plan of the Jewish leadership. I think it is noteworthy that they thought they were serving God’s plan in their plot to kill Paul. Best to never underestimate demonic deception at work in our culture.
So true!
God’s will is always accomplished. We can try to get ahead of it or make our own way, but God’s plan will always be accomplished in His time
God shot: Other believers' words of encouragement to me should always confirm not contradict what God has already been showing me is His will.
That is correct!!! ✅
Praise the MIGHTY LIVING GOD
“The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.””

My God shot is God standing with Paul in prison giving him strength to continue his testimony!
Amen TLC! Amen!
Praying for you🙏
Love it!
How incredibly brillant, Father
In Acts 22:21-22, the crowd shows their ignorance of the scriptures, that God always intended, ever since Abraham, to bring the Gentiles into His kingdom. Knowing Who God is and what He has planned always is grounded in His word.
I just got back from my vacation in Wyoming. It was the best yall should go, tones of stuff to do and lots of snow ❄
💙
God bless you Tara Leigh you're such a great story teller . Do these videos stay forever? If I want to go back to an article or video in the future
They do!
Yes
Where did the Bible say that Paul had a directive from The Holy Spirit to go to Jerusalem?
Paul was the proverbial long winded preacher, lol!

How come it says they are still celebrating festivals?
