Acts 8:25

"The Great Commission" is a reference to the final command that Christ gave to His disciples and the New Testament church. It is great both because it is given by the authority of the Lord Jesus and because it impacts the eternal souls of men. Scripture records Christ’s Great Commission for us 5 times. Join Scott Pauley for this 3-day study of Christ's final charge.

Life is filled with bad opportunities. But God uses them. We see it happen through persecution in Acts, with Acts 8 as a case study. This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Are you constantly checking your phone or feeling overwhelmed with tasks? Slowing down intentionally can help create margin in your life. Consider this: Jesus often took time to rest and connect with God. Mark 1:35 says, "Rising very early in the morning, he went out to a desolate place to pray." Jesus made an effort to pause and choose margin. This five-day devotional aims to help you slow down and live like Jesus, creating space for what truly matters.

The Book of Acts, also called "The Acts of the Apostles," is the companion volume to the Gospel of Luke. This reading plan explores the major concepts that Luke addressed as he unfolded the unhindered spread of the gospel of God's kingdom in the days of the early church.
