Whatever It Takes

Acts

We continue our series in Acts and move into chapter 21 this Sunday. Much of the Christian life is about pressing on, counting the cost, and making sacrifices. In our text, we see these themes play out yet again. Paul is on his way to Jerusalem, being obedient to the Holy Spirit’s leading in Acts 20:22. His brothers and sisters in Christ are torn and sad to see Paul leave, and others become even more distraught after a prophet named Agabus says what will happen to Paul in Jerusalem. Yet Paul is determined, and when he arrives in Jerusalem, after talking with James, he has another chance to show the uniting power of the gospel. Paul, in his willingness to continue, die, and yield, points us to Christ, our Savior. As you prepare for worship, meditate on Acts 21:1-26, 2 Timothy 4:7, Hebrews 12:1-2, Philippians 1:21, Romans 14:8, Matthew 16:24, Luke 9:51, and 1 Corinthians 9:19-23.

Come rejoicing in our Savior and look forward to singing, “O Worship the King,” “How Deep the Father’s Love For Us,” and a new song, “Christ is Mine Forevermore.” Here is a link with piano music and lyrics that are similar to how we will sing on Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2v8QAE7S_k
