Breath prayer throughout the day: “All shall be well.” (Inhale: “All shall be well”; Exhale: “And all manner of thing shall be well.”)

ACTS - Songs in the Cell

Acts 16:16-40, Beaten and chained, Paul and Silas sing. Not because they’re unafraid but because their hope is rooted deeper than circumstance. A jailer’s heart opens. A city has changed.

ACTS - Open Hearts and Open Homes

Acts 16:11-15 - By a river, with no synagogue in sight, a woman named Lydia opens her heart. There is no altar call, no stadium crowd  just quiet hospitality and holy conversation because Paul listened to the Holy Spirit.

ACTS - A Strange Way Forward

Acts 16:1-10

ACTS - The Wounds We Carry

Ross Bentley takes us through Acts 15:36-41. Paul and Barnabas part ways,  a rift between friends. The gospel goes on, not because of perfect unity, but because grace refuses to waste even our divisions. God can work even through our fractures, nothing surrendered is wasted.

ACTS - The Table is Wide
