About this episode

Sara concludes the series on the book of Acts by discussing Paul's journey and the importance of faith and perseverance in challenging times.

Paul’s journey reached its end, but in his end -- is our beginning.This Sunday, Sara wrapped up the series in the book of Acts by looking at the end of Paul’s journey and how he finished strong even while under so much distress and numerous arrests. Sara shared three ways God provided for Paul: unlikely allies, clear direction when things felt hopeless, and the boldness to keep going to the very end. A big theme is that following Jesus can be exciting at the start, but harder over time, and that we need God’s help to stay faithful. Sara encouraged us to see others as valuable, ask God for guidance in hard seasons, and live with bold faith. The book of Acts isn’t just Paul’s story — it’s a story we’re still part of today. — Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9 & 10:45AM (EST).
