Acts 25:2-3, 7

The Essential 100® Bible Challenge is a simple tool to read through the Big Story of God's Word. The reading plan is based on 50 Old Testament and 50 New Testament passages. Continue with the sixteenth part "The Travels of Paul." ®Produced by American Bible Society in partnership with Scripture Union, Inc.

Paul has been languishing in prison for two years, falsely charged with crimes he didn’t commit. But this bondage did not bring bitterness; it brought renewed purpose. 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 into what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

The message of the gospel contains such power in it that becomes an unstoppable force. Join the apostle Paul in his last days as he “fights the good fight, ” “keeps the faith,” and “finishes the race.” The struggles and opposition he faced are no different from the ones we encounter today. Learn from him and be inspired to bring transformation fighting the good fight.

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.
