Does the Gospel make sense? In Acts 17 v 16-34 Paul finds himself in Athens, the home of many of the great thinkers of the ancient world. He’s upset about the idolatry and worship of mythological gods that stop even these great thinkers from finding the true God and he engages in debate in the synagogue and in the agora – the market place where intellectuals gathered to debate new ideas. How does the good news about Jesus stand up to this debate? In this session we look at Paul’s message and see its relevan

Is it easy to share your faith? In the first fifteen verses of Acts 17 we can see how Paul set about reaching others and how they responded.

It is inevitable that Christians will face difficult situations, and in Acts 16 we find Paul and Silas facing severe hardships. Their example is a witness to those around them, so we consider how we can learn from their attitude and behaviour. And, in a change from the normal pattern, this study doesn’t ask you to pause the video, it just picks up on some puzzling questions that help us to understand the passage.

How do I know I’m doing the right thing? Guidance may seem easy to other Christians, but may be a mystery to me, so in this study we’ll take a look at how God guided Paul and his companions as they set out on another missionary journey.

Is Christianity a set of rules? For many, religion is simply about trying to do the right things and avoid wrongs, but being a Christianity is all about our relationship with God and should show in our relationships with others. In this study, based on Acts 15 v 22-41, we look at the requirements placed on Gentile believers and consider whether they, or similar rules, apply to a modern believer.

Do Christians always agree? And when and how should disagreements be dealt with? In Acts 15 v 1-21 we find Paul and Barnabas challenging the teachings of a group of believers who’ve travelled to spread a false message amongst Gentile believers. How do they deal with this and what is the outcome?

What should my priorities be? As Paul and Barnabas carry on their missionary journey they face opposition. How do they respond, and what does this teach us about our responsibilities as Christians? In this study we look at Acts chapter 14.
