'The Church - Real People In Real Places With A Real Purpose'

In this short section of the final chapter of Acts, we read of the last stage of Paul's journey to Rome. As he and those with him leave Malta they visit several places on the Italian coast and meet several groups of believers as they make their way to their final destination. These places and people can teach us lessons that apply just as much to our church today as it did to those we read of in this passage.


Application Questions:

  1. Think about the place God has called you to at the moment - are you living faithfully for Him there? If not, why not? If so, how are you using the resources God has given to continue to live faithfully for Him?
  2. God brings many different people into our lives. Who is in your life that you can encourage in their faith? How will you do that this week?
  3. Our purpose is, as the Shorter Catechism reminds us, to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. What does this mean to you, and why?
