Acts 4 sets the pattern for gospel courage: Spirit-filled speech, Scripture-shaped prayer, and generous unity. The name of Jesus stands alone as the cornerstone and the only way of salvation.
Acts 3 pairs a public healing with a Scripture-rich sermon that calls Israel to repent and promises seasons of refreshing and a future restoration. The name of Jesus lifts the needy, and the covenant hope widens toward all peoples.
Pentecost fulfills promise and launches mission. Peter preaches Jesus as Lord and Messiah, thousands repent and are baptized, and a Spirit-shaped community forms around teaching, table, prayer, and praise.
Acts 1 anchors the church’s mission in the risen and ascended Jesus. The Spirit’s promised power, a global map for witness, and Scripture-shaped leadership prepare a praying community to carry good news to the ends of the earth.
Paul charges Timothy to preach the word under the Judge’s gaze, with patience when ears itch for myths. A poured-out life ends in hope: the crown of righteousness for all who love Christ’s appearing.
Romans 16 turns doctrine into names and homes—honor the ordinary saints, guard unity, and worship the only wise God. The revealed mystery now summons all nations to the obedience of faith.
Romans 15 calls the strong to carry the weak, the church to welcome as Christ welcomed, and the nations to praise the God who keeps his promises. Hope fills and overflows by the Spirit as mission and mercy travel together.
Romans 14 shows how a Spirit-led church lives together when consciences differ: welcome without quarrels, limit liberty for love, and keep the kingdom’s priorities at the center. Each servant stands before the same Lord.
Romans 13 places public life under God’s hand: honor rulers within their lane, pay what you owe, and owe love without end. Live awake, clothed with Christ, because the day is near.
Romans 12 turns mercy into motion: offer your body, renew your mind, and serve as one body with sincere love. In a harsh world, overcome evil with good.
Romans 11 answers whether God has rejected Israel and shows his plan: remnant by grace, Gentile inclusion, and future mercy. The only fitting response is worship.
Romans 10 moves the law’s aim into open view in Christ. The near word creates faith, the mouth confesses the risen Lord, and the church is sent.
Romans 9 shows that God’s saving purpose runs by promise and mercy, not pedigree or effort. The result is humility, assurance, and courage for mission.
Romans 8 moves from no condemnation to no separation. The Spirit secures a new way of life now and a certain hope that includes bodily resurrection.
Romans 7 holds up the law as holy while exposing sin’s deceit and our need for Christ. It leads us to honest confession, Spirit-led obedience, and hope.
