#ACTSchallenge | Day 18 – Acts 18

Click here for Acts 18 audio:

Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.

God opens doors, builds His church, and brings the right people at the right time. In Corinth, Paul meets Aquila and Priscilla, receives encouragement from the Lord (vv. 9–10), and sees both Jews and Gentiles believe and be baptized (v. 8). Even through opposition and legal pressure, the gospel moves forward.

Later, we meet Apollos, a gifted speaker with partial knowledge—until Priscilla and Aquila graciously guide him in the truth. God uses Paul the builder and Apollos the encourager (1 Cor. 3:6). Everyone has a role in the mission.

🎯 Theme: Do not be afraid – Jesus is with you and has many people in a lot of places.

🌀 Reflection: Are you more like Paul, Priscilla, or Apollos in this season? How can you faithfully do your part in strengthening others?

💬 Mission Challenge: Find a way today to encourage someone in their spiritual growth—share a Scripture, pray with them, or send a kind word.

#ACTSchallenge | Day 17 – Acts 17

Click here for Acts 17 audio:

Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.

From Thessalonica to Berea to Athens, Acts 17 shows how different people respond to the same gospel. Some oppose it (v. 5), some examine it eagerly (v. 11), others mock it (v. 32)—but some believe (v. 34).

Paul reasons from the Scriptures (v. 3), explains the gospel in the marketplace (v. 17), and proclaims the one true God before philosophers at the Areopagus (vv. 22–31). His message climaxes in the resurrection of Jesus, the assurance that judgment is coming and that salvation is available to all who repent (v. 30).

🎯 Theme: God now commands all to repent, for He has fixed a day of judgment.

🌀 Reflection: Which group in this chapter do you most relate to—skeptical, searching, or surrendered? How can your heart remain open to the truth?

💬 Mission Challenge: Share one verse or truth from today’s reading with someone you know who is curious or questioning faith.

#ACTSchallenge | Day 16 – Acts 16

Click here for Acts 16 audio:

Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.

The gospel reaches Europe in Acts 16—and God’s sovereignty is on full display. The Spirit closes some doors and opens another through a vision (vv. 6–10). In Philippi, the Lord opens Lydia’s heart (v. 14), casts out a demon (v. 18), shakes a prison (v. 26), and saves a jailer and his household (vv. 30–34).

Paul and Silas, beaten and imprisoned, choose to pray and sing (v. 25). Their pain becomes a platform for praise and a witness that leads to salvation. Even injustice becomes an opportunity to defend the gospel and protect the young church (vv. 37–40).

🎯 Theme: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.

🌀 Reflection: Where might God be using closed doors or unexpected circumstances to lead you or shape your witness?

💬 Mission Challenge: Encourage someone facing hardship today. Share how God has worked in your life during difficult seasons.

#ACTSchallenge | Day 15 – Acts 15

Click here for Acts 15 audio:

Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.

Acts 15 records the Jerusalem Council, where the early church had to answer a crucial question: Is Jesus enough? Some said Gentiles had to follow the law of Moses to be saved, but the apostles stood firm—salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone (v. 11, Ephesians 2:1-10).

The result? A joyful affirmation of the gospel and practical steps to preserve unity between Jewish and Gentile believers. Even when disagreements followed (vv. 36–41), the mission continued. Grace held them together and moved them forward.

🎯 Theme: Salvation is by grace, not by burdening others with the law.

🌀 Reflection: When differences arise, do you fight for grace and unity? How does the gospel shape your convictions and your conversations?

💬 Mission Challenge: Encourage someone in your church family today—especially someone different from you. Affirm your shared hope in Jesus.

#ACTSchallenge | Day 2 – Acts 2

Click here for Acts 2 audio:

Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.

The Holy Spirit came with power, just as Jesus promised, filling the believers and birthing the Church. Peter boldly preached Christ crucified and risen, and the Spirit moved—three thousand believed, repented, were baptized, and joined the family of faith. What followed was a Spirit-shaped community: learning, praying, sharing, worshiping. The Church was alive—and the Lord kept adding to it, day by day (v.47). That same Spirit still empowers, convicts, and unites us today.

🎯 Theme: Jesus was crucified according to God’s plan – but God raised Him!

🌀 Reflection: Are you making space for the Spirit and the Word to shape your daily life and church family?

💬 Mission Challenge: Share a truth from today’s chapter or offer to pray for someone today—just like the early Church, let Jesus be seen through your words and actions.

#ACTSchallenge | Day 1 – Acts 1

Click here for Acts 1 audio:

Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.

Acts begins with Jesus alive, risen, and still at work—this time through His Spirit and His people. Before sending them out, He told His disciples to wait for the promised Holy Spirit. Their mission wasn’t to restore a kingdom, but to be His witnesses—to the ends of the earth (v.8). So they waited, they prayed, and they trusted His timing. The Church’s story begins with worship, obedience, and dependence—and ours should too.

🎯 Theme: The Spirit empowers us to be witnesses to the risen Christ.

🌀 Reflection: Are you rushing ahead, or waiting prayerfully on God’s power?

💬 Mission Challenge: Tell someone you’re reading Acts—invite them to join you or ask how you can pray for them.

Join Us for the ACTS Challenge This June!

We’re excited to spend the month of June diving into the book of Acts—one chapter each day—as we follow the Spirit-empowered mission of the early Church. This isn’t just a reading challenge. It’s a call to live out the gospel.

Each day, we’re walking through the ACTS Challenge:

  • A – Abide in the Word
    Read one chapter a day and ask, “What does this teach me about Jesus and His gospel?”
  • C – Commit to Prayer
    Pray in response to what you read. Pray for boldness and the Spirit to work in your life like He did in the early Church.
  • T – Tell Someone
    Share something from your reading—online, in person, with family, or your church.
  • S – Serve in the Spirit
    Ask God to help you live out the gospel each day in tangible ways.

Read it. Pray it. Share it. Live it.

What to Expect in Each Daily Post:

Each day, we’ll post a short devotion that includes:

  • A brief summary of that day’s chapter in Acts
  • A core theme or truth drawn from the passage
  • A personal reflection to help you think through what God is teaching you
  • A practical mission challenge to help you live out what you’re learning

We believe God’s Word is powerful—and that reading Acts together as the Church will deepen our faith, grow our courage, and prepare us to join God in His mission right where we are.

Let’s walk through Acts together—one chapter, one day at a time.

(📱Prefer listening? Each day’s chapter is available in audio format, so you can hear the Word even if you’re on the go!)
