At last. Paul had made it to Rome, ready to preach the gospel. And nothing had been able to prevent him from his mission: not persecution, not natural disasters, not religious or political authorities. Not even house arrest.
He welcomed all who visited him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ.
—Acts 28:30–31
Although he had a guard present with him at all times, he was still able to enjoy a large amount of freedom. For two years, Paul was able to preach the gospel. Even in limited freedom, he remained committed to helping others know and understand the kingdom of God.
This is for us an example of what it means to serve God faithfully in whatever circumstance we find ourselves. The book of Acts has shown us that our status as followers of Christ doesn’t exclude us from opposition. Instead, as we share the message of hope in a broken world, we should expect resistance. The gospel had transformed Paul, along with others mentioned in previous chapters, so much so that they began to passionately proclaim the kingdom of God.
Perhaps Acts doesn’t end the way we would expect it to; many consider the ending abrupt. It is widely known that Paul died in Rome; however, Luke mentions nothing about the apostle’s death. Acts is more than a historical account that biographs the lives of the apostles or any other member from the early Church period. As prominent as Paul and Peter are throughout the book, the gospel is the main character and its journey from Jerusalem to Rome drives the plot.
Jesus told His disciples that they would carry His message from Jerusalem to the world. Ancient Rome was not considered the world’s edge during the first century. However, it was one of the most important, populated cities. It was also a major gateway city through which visitors traveled. As the gospel spread throughout Rome, it also had the opportunity to extend beyond Rome to other parts of the world.
The story of the spread of the gospel and the Church’s growth didn’t end in this last chapter. Instead of giving us a conclusion, Luke set us up for a continuation of the story—one that has continued up to our present day. As members of God’s community of believers, we have been transformed by Jesus’s message of good news. Like Paul, we actively participate in “proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 28:31).
We take the truth of the gospel everywhere we go, eager to see the Holy Spirit at work in us and around us.

Amen!
Amen.

Loved this study on Acts. ♥️
This was a new insight to me: the main character in Acts is not Paul or Peter, but the gospel itself. And the arrival at Rome signifies the journey from Judea, to Samaria, to the departure point for the ends of the earth. Beautiful!
Today’s reading steady and hopeful to me. Paul finally makes it to Rome, not in the way anyone would have planned, but exactly where God said he would be. What encourages me most is that even in house arrest, he kept preaching with boldness. The message was not hindered, even if his movement was. It reminds me that calling isn’t dependent on perfect circumstances. God can still move, even in seasons that feel limited.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
I have loved this study so much , and I am felling a bit sad too that it’s ending today. I too felt like I was journeying alone with Paul as he shared the gospel. I love how Tameshia reminded all of us that the story isn’t over. The church lives on in us. I don’t really know if heaven works this way, but it would be cool if all the early saints of the church could see us now. I know they would be cheering us on !
I agree!
Sad to see Acts end. I’ve been behind off and on the last week and haven’t had a chance to read comments or be on the same day. I hope you all have a great weekend. Love journeying through the Word with you ladies.
“As prominent as Paul and Peter are throughout the book, the gospel is the main character and its journey from Jerusalem to Rome drives the plot.”
Never thought of Acts this way before.
Even the ending. Not abrupt.
Alive. Active. Always.
In the communion of saints.
Of whom, St. Valentine stands.
Speaking only Love.
❤️✝️ Amen
“We take the truth of the gospel everywhere we go…”- Tameshia Williams.

My STUDY NOTE share is copied from KJV Study Bible on Isaiah chapter 6:6-10—
“God warns Isaiah that his ministry, for the most part, will fall upon deaf ears. The syntax of the sentence indicates that hear ye indeed means “keep on hearing.”
Thus Judah will continue hearing but not heeding the prophet’s warning. Make the heart . . . fat . . . ears heavy . . . shut their eyes indicates that the more he preaches, the more the people will harden themselves to his message until the Babylonian captivity, after which only a tenth . . . shall return.”
✨
Is there any question that we see that response in our world today? We, however, have been set aside to do as mentioned in the devo: “take the truth of the gospel wherever we go”.
✨
A contemporary hymn came to mind this morning. This lyric video also shows suggestions for ministry, but the words are fitting for the end of this study. What did Paul, Peter, and the others do? They passed it (God’s love/ the gospel) on. We should pass it on as well. Hymn written by Kurt Kaiser.
SONG SHARE:
Pass It On (Lyric Video) : Katie Reeves & Sunrise UMC Children’s Choir
It only takes a spark to get a fire going,
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing;
That’s how it is with God’s Love,
Once you’ve experienced it,
Your spread the love to everyone
You want to pass it on✨
Love, hugs, and prayers! ❤
That song brings many happy memories! It was the theme song at our church camp one year in the early 70’s. ❤️
❤ Sweet!
Oh….I have not thought of Pass it On for years. Brings a smile to my face:)
Both of your comments made me smile! ❤
love that song of my childhood so much. ( child of the 70’s) Thank you for sharing.
These verses….
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.”
2 Timothy 4:7-8 ESV
https://bible.com/bible/59/2ti.4.7-8.ESV
This is my desire! To run the race set before me well. Sharing the Lord with whoever’s will listen.
I have truly been blessed by all of your comments! Can’t wait for Advent!
Praying over all the requests!
Love Love Acts.
Amen! This is a good summary of the book of Acts. We have much to learn and take away from it.
.
Oh that I might be able to say in the end, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
.
Keep marching on dear sisters as God’s Princess Warriors, serve faithfully in whatever circumstances we live – remembering that we will have trials in this world but we can overcome by the precious blood of the lamb.
John 16:33, ““I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

I am reminded of this older hymn, The Banner Of The Cross. I’ll post a beautiful version on the FB page…
.
1 There’s a royal banner given for display
To the soldiers of the King;
As an ensign fair we lift it up today,
While as ransomed ones we sing.
Chorus:
Marching on, marching on,
For Christ count ev’rything but loss!
And to crown Him King,
toil and sing ‘Neath the banner of the cross!
2 Though the foe may rage and gather as the flood,
Let the standard be displayed;
And beneath its folds, as soldiers of the Lord,
For the truth be not dismayed!
[Chorus]
3 Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell,
Make the glorious tidings known;
Of the crimson banner now the story tell,
While the Lord shall claim His own!
[Chorus]
4 When the glory dawns ’tis drawing very near–
It is hast’ning day by day;
Then before our King the foe shall disappear,
And the cross the world shall sway!
[Chorus]
—
Happy Friday She’s, I’ll be back later to read the comments – be blessed!❤️
Another great hymn! I miss singing those in church! ❤
When we do sing the old hymns, the leaders don’t lead from the hymnbook so it’s just not the same!
That’s a good one! I haven’t thought of it or heard it in years! ❤️
This was such a great study. I’ve read Acts many times but this was different. Reading it all the way through like this and stopping each day to process alongside all of you was so powerful. I felt like we were literally journeying with Paul, and I feel tender and a bit sad as it ends today. I feel like that’s really good…that it feels so real and impactful. Thank you to all of you who comment regularly and make such an impact on all of us. I read your comments daily and it is a blessing to learn and grow alongside you. I’m really looking forward to Psalms next week!
Praying for the requests each day.
Agreed DW, always good to “see” you here!
I agree, DW! We recently studied Acts in Sunday School, but with the time gaps it was harder to soak it in.
My thoughts exactly!
On another note. Two things. I had an ultrasound on my neck yesterday. I felt “small” lump that was examined in October and told it was a swollen salivary gland or something like that. Told to take IBU. Its still there and while it’s not protruding, I still went to get it examined further. Hope its part of my NF1 and nothing else. Secondly my son Caleb has an interview for a job today at some sort of insurance office. I think its for a Liaison position.
Praying for good test results, sweet sister! I have been wondering about Caleb’s job situation. Thank you for the update! Praying God’s guidance for him.
Praying the lump truly is nothing serious and for definitive diagnosis!
Praying for Caleb and this interview. May you both feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit today!
❤
This was my first time reading Acts, and I loved it so much that I’m going to go back and take a deeper dive into it. One of the things I always pray is for God to use me as a tool on earth to further His kingdom as He sees fit.
To me, this isn’t just Paul’s story—it’s a blueprint of how God uses a person to further His kingdom under any circumstances, just as the devotional pointed out. Whether in freedom, hardship, uncertainty, or opposition, God’s purposes still move forward.
I’m so grateful that my first reading of Acts was with this group and through this study, because I learned so much from all of your insights.
P.S. — Does anyone else wonder whether the soldier guarding Paul ended up believing and becoming a Christian? I hope he did.
Yes, I thought about that, too, and the fact that he apparently didn’t object or intrude in any way. ❤
Happy Friday sweeties! YES, it’s FRIDAY and another three-day weekend. Really could use some R&R! I was sharing this morning with my friend Gretchen via text (she introduced me to SRT) that I found it fascinating (as we also read from Tameshia) that Paul was “still” able to preach the gospel in prison!! And even though he had limited freedom, he still had “freedom” to spread the gospel! WOW!! Nothing stopped him!! AND it was allowed! Wow! God is so good! I also loved when Tameshia points out that the “gospel” was the “main” character!
Yes, I love to share that with my ladies at the jail..that they have such opportunities! To turn their circumstances into the hands and feet, and mouths of Jesus, in so many various ways. One of my girls leads a prayer circle every night, stepping out of her comfort zone! And sings all day! lol. She is like me, LOVES to sing God songs! I’m referring to Stacey, that many of ya’ll prayed for! Keep praying, she has court in March and we are hoping she avoids prison by going to a treatment center! I have been reading more of addiction and how hard it is to break the cycles long term…BUT GOD..he is a chain breaker!! I pray she finally gets freedom.
Praying for Caleb to get just the job God has in mind! And glad you get a 3 day wkd!
I’ve read Acts many times, but had never considered its “abrupt” ending. Let’s continue the story of Acts in our every day lives! ❤️
Amen! See the song I shared! ❤
Don’t let Acts end..! Oh how good this study has been! Luckily we get to continue on reading even better- Personal letters from Paul himself to the churches that he was a part of their start! His wisdom, his prayers and hopes for them, rebukes, and guidelines—The Epistles! Letters from Paul as the New Testament continues. Maybe I can get through them this wkd! What is next here at SRT? It’s too early for Lent study, right?
I would recommend on Prime the show “Drive Through History: Acts to Revelations.” It shows Paul’s travels, what the places look like today and what they could have been like historically.
I, like Luke, write down all the happenings of my journey. I don’t want to forget all the details, the good and the bad, the highs and lows of this walk of faith. I hope one day my family will read it as I read Acts, and think- wow, how cool that she persevered in her belief in Jesus! She could have ONLY done that with the help of the Holy Spirit, a great transformation of the true living Jesus, and her knowledge of the Bible! (Not boasting…just saying wouldn’t that be something!? Something to strive for—a great testimony in a story for them!
Oh how I loved to know the stories of my grandma, and my parents, and people I know and love. The more tragic, with parts of endurance and persevering, the more the excitement and joy for them that they conquered and overcame. I loved my grandma so much, but she never alluded to her belief or non-belief. I find it sad that it wasn’t obvious. I would like to have know that faith in Jesus Christ was always her anchor and hope. But I have always wondered. I don’t want anyone to wonder with me…hahaha, yeah I know! They won’t! But that is a great accomplishment to me!! Running the race well, the name Jesus Christ always on my lips, through suffering AND persecution, my faith won’t change! Yes, we fail, and have wilderness seasons, but the strong foundation will be there! The ROCK we stand on!
As I write letters to encourage my butterflies in their walk, I know I am doing good works for Jesus, furthering his kingdom!! Fortifying them, to pass the Good News to others. To our children to pass to their children.
Lets not just attend church and settle there! Lets keep sharing our transformation/testimony often to many!
We didn’t have too many updates on our Prayer Challenge week! If you forgot to put a divine encounters that your were able to pray for someone unexpected since then, please add to it!! Let’s keep our challenge going! Saying YES to God to share the Good News, The Way! We are Chosen, ALL disciples meant to be the light on the hill. When we walk anywhere, the light is in us. Let it shine bright and active!
Have a great Friday and a great WKD!
I forgot to post but I prayed for a lady that was in a booth at a local shopping event. She ask what I thought about what she tried on and then mentioned that she had recently had a lumpectomy. The Lord nudged me to pray for her. I asked if I could and she said yes! I prayed and she was so grateful! Blessed me as much as it did her!!
That’s wonderful Cheryl!! Way to say YES!! And the blessings that come both ways!!
Awesome, Cheryl❤️
Rhonda, I believe Lent is our next study. Ash Wednesday is the 18th.
Okay, yes, someone said Psalms! It’s so hard to believe we are already to Lent! I’m still in January I believe…lol I was just looking at our Lent study for Jail I have to get prepared!! It’s always so impactful and with SRT, and watching The Passion of Christ broken into 6 weeks!
Ha, RHONDA….I’m reading this on Saturday morning AFTER having posted that I wish I had more of an inclination towards journalling…. WELL DONE, it is SUCH a precious gift to yourself and those who come after you….
I love that and you ❤️
**
Amazing YES, CHERYL!!
Beautiful, Rhonda! ❤
Great study!!
I have also studied Acts several times, but saw it differently this time. As Tameshia pointed out that the book is about the journey of the gospel from Rome to other parts of the world. I think I’ve always focused so much on Paul and missed this part. Great study once again.
The story of Paul’s life is quite remarkable and his diligent, faithfulness truly an example. The pursuit of the Gospel, living it out and proclaiming its truth needs to be woven into every part of who I am.

What a rich study this has been and I too have learned a lot thru our study of Acts. Thank you SRT leadership for your continued commitment to speaking the Truth of God’s Word, for resources and to this sweet community of sisters that greatly contributes and adds so much so we can all learn, grow and deepen our relationship with Jesus. ❤️
Yes, Amen Wendy!
Well said, Wendy; thank you since I forgot my thanks to SRT and the SHES in my comment! ❤❤❤
Amen
As many times as I’ve read through Acts over the years I saw a lot of things this time I didn’t see before. Thank you SRT writers and community for such a fruitful study! Maranatha ❤️
BTW: I completely agree with all of you…
I feel like I’ve read the Book of Acts SEVERAL times in my life but, somehow felt it all souch more, travelling with all of YOU! ❤️
I echo KELLY(NEO)…I think the vast MAJORITY of the Saints who have move the kingdom work on Earth are not famous, not well-documented, not household names…I look forward to hearing their stories in Heaven!! Acts does give us some names we can rest our “Where would I / we / the world be without the boldness and obedience of the early Church?!?”
Wishing you a blessed Friday and weekend. ❤️ Please keep us in pray !!
PRAYER REQUEST:
A couple is coming to our house today …. unbeknownst to him, they will likely adopt our little boy.
Please my sisters pray that God is in every detail of this.
*
For the past several weeks, without being told OVERTLY that the search is on to find parents to adopt him, … Sweetie Pie has been more settled and regulated in our home / school / etc…with far more “I love you” to hubby and I ….and OVERT / SPONTANEOUS : “I don’t want to go ANYWHERE without you, not even the babysitter (where he always has an amazing time)! I often cry after you leave me at preschool because I miss you SOOOOO MUCH. Do YOU also cry when I’m at school?!”
(I answer that I miss him so much too when he’s at school but I don’t cry because I am happy that he’s learning. playing, friends, etc…)
Please pray ❤️ Forgive me for often having seasons of too busy to read comments thoroughly but happily coming to ask to ask for prayer.
Praying for you to be able to adopt this sweet boy. We also adopted a boy from the foster system. It was a wonderful blessing and still is today – and he just turned 45!
Thank you for reminding me of the blessing I am part of giving…rather than losing ❤️ Please continue to pray for “our” preschooler’s heart as he transitions out of our arms.
Oh how very difficult for you as foster parents, and him as your little charge. Prayers for you all, as you navigate this. God bless you for this special work you do.
Praying for you all! ❤️
Foster Moma, that just made my heart ache reading that. How hard that must be for you, and for him! I am so glad that Pam left her great reply, the gift of being able to adopt!
I don’t know that I could be a foster, well, I know I couldn’t. What a gift to be able to do this great job and to help kids in need and find them great forever homes!
Praying that God’s plans for this little boy will take place and that he will be comforted by peace and love. You are doing an amazing job. I will be praying for you too!
❤️ Please and thank you, Jane
I was adopted from foster care at an older age in the 80’s. Thank you so much for answering the call. May God continue to bless your family. <3
Have prayed for you and your family. May the Lord be your strength and peace and God’s will be done in the life of this precious child ❤️
Praying for you, your little one, and the prospective parents. What a heat wrenching time for you all. God bless you
Praying for a smooth transition for your sweet foster boy and his future with his forever family.
Praying for your heart and this sweet boy’s heart as he transitions to his new home.
Sweet little buddy! What a gift to have so many ready to love him well. Praying his little heart can open to the prospective parent’s love and that he will thrive and flourish in their home with the beautiful start y’all have given him in yours. And for your hearts as you release him to others. ❤️
Praying for God’s plan! Also, you are doing God’s work taking care of this sweet little one. Don’t apologize. Praying for him and for you!
No apologies necessary, Foster Mama! Praying for God’s will in this little one’s life, for wisdom and compassion for those ‘in charge’, for discernment for this couple, and especially for this little one to feel peace and security whatever the outcome. Praying for comfort for your heart as well. I could not do what you do! ❤
Praying! We adopted our youngest daughter from foster care at the age of 12. She is Deaf and has some cognitive delays as well. She needed a family who could sign and ago
Wow, that’s really great Faith!
For those who go back to previous day,….I’m writing on Saturday:
*
A thousand thank yous to each sister who prayed for us yesterday ❤️ whether you posted or not.
A MILLION thank yous for praying AND sharing…you put balm on my uncertain ❤️❤️❤️.
Thank Jesus, it went…fine.
*
My biggest priority for yesterday was that my preschooler would just see this couple as visitors so that he could enjoy them, rather than see them as a threat — this was definitely accomplished.
*
I can say with ALL CERTAINTY that it is not coming from a place of not wanting to see him leave my home….I am NOT feeling it with these people, that they will be what he needs in some areas…. certainly, (so far it looks like) if he will be raised Christian, it will be because this 3.5 year-old will become the priest of his own. There is nothing in my earthly power so….
I am praying I am wrong,…
I am remembering a prayer of surrender I did with a friend the day before….
✝️”Lord, I surrender _____to You; You take care of everything” ✝️
*
I wish I had a greater inclination towards journalling but, for today, I wrote my thoughts on a page that quotes Proverbs 19:21
*
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
*
✝️Lord Jesus, please do whatever needs doing, whether through me or (ideally) another source…and please hold little ones and us firmly against Your chest✝️

I loved the last line of the devotional regarding carrying the truth of the gospel with us while looking for the Holy Spirit’s works. What a gift it is to ready about the apostles imperfect journeys! | For those following Seth’s story, he is home from the hospital. They aren’t sure what is causing fluid buildup next to his baclofen pump, but they said it’s nothing serious. That is an answered prayer!
PTL! ❤️❤️
Praying for Seth
Praying for Seth that there is not a lot of discomfort associated with the fluid buildup and thankful it isn’t serious! ❤ Thanks for the update!
The Story Ends with Hope
.
A shipwrecked man
in a rented room,
chains at his wrists
but not on the Word.
.
In Acts of the Apostles,
the door is still open.
The kingdom still spoken.
The gospel—unhindered.
.
An ancient prophet
stands before a silent people.
Eyes closed.
Hearts heavy.
Yet in the Book of Isaiah,
a stump remains—
a holy seed
beneath the ash of refusal.
An old apostle
pours out his life
like wine on the altar.
.
In the Second Epistle to Timothy,
he does not say
“I have lost.”
He says,
I have fought.
I have finished.
I have kept.
And waiting for him,
a crown.
.
So the story does not close
with prison walls,
or hardened hearts,
or nearing death.
.
It closes with a door still open,
a seed still living,
a crown still shining.
.
The story ends,
not in silence,
not in sorrow,
not in defeat,
but in hope.
I love this!
❤️
Wow, Kimberly, you are so gifted with words. I love this. Thank you for sharing
….and she’s so quick!! I’m praising God for your gift!
Beautiful! had to copy and paste.
Your words and thoughts so concise and simply stated are a gift to us. Thank you so much!
Beautiful!❤️
Kimberly, this is so beautifully outstanding and right on target! What a summary!!! Thank you for sharing your generous gift! ❤
Love this!…thank you Kimberly for the beautiful summation and for sharing your gift! ❤️
Amen!!
I appreciate and look forward to your writings!
Thank you for sharing!
Paul’s testimony was consistent each and every time he spoke it – no wavering or changing. Yet it only rang true with some of the Jews that listened, the others refused to believe. As a Christian, I’m thinking, why didn’t they listen? Prophecy had been fulfilled and explained to them by Paul, who was radically transformed by the truth he shared. Same reason that for so many years, I myself refused. Pride and a hard heart, love of self rather than loving God. Open the eyes of all hearts, please Lord, to see the love that took You to the cross on our behalf.
.
Beautiful devo, TAMESHIA. Thank you.
.
From Russ Ramsey, HRT:
“… the book of Acts tells us the story of what we’ve been given, come what may: a risen Savior, an indwelling Holy Spirit, a continuing Church, and a gospel with the power to set captives free. For these things and so much more, let us give thanks to our Father in heaven and trust Him for all that we cannot see.”
Amen, Russ. Thank you.

Praying over the requests
Amen to all you said and to requests! ❤❤❤
Yes!..to all this!
Me too for all the years I spent thinking of me..despite all the years having been raised in a wonderful church and family that loved Jesus … straying away ..doing my own thing until my daughter when she was 5 years old asked to go to Sunday School and the Lord wooed (is that a word?) me back!
Thank you, Lord, for your mercy, your grace your forgiveness, and your life and love! ❤️
❤️
Paul’s story is an example of what it means to serve God faithfully in whatever circumstances. Amen! ❤️
So thankful for the courage and faithfulness of the early apostles to carry the Good News of Jesus far and wide through many hardships. For all the ones whose names are not mentioned, yet played a vital part in the growth of the church, I hope to hear their stories in glory.
.
Thank you, Shes, for your insights and comments throughout this study. You ate a blessing!
❤️
Same, Kelly! Here I sit, able to read these words and know who Christ is because of these early disciples. Thank you, Lord for making a way.
Such a great point. Thank you, God, for all the unnamed faithful servants that helped spread the Gospel so we get to be the recipients of their faithfulness. May we also be those faithful servants in spreading the gospel so that generations after us hear and learn about Jesus.
❤
❤️
Amen❤️
I love this perspective: “the gospel is the main character [of Acts] and its journey from Jerusalem to Rome drives the plot.” Just as God proclaimed and Jesus commanded His followers – go and make disciples of all nations. Peter, Paul and the others mentioned were obedient no matter the circumstances – may we go and do likewise!
Amen!!
Yes!! ❤️❤️
Amen! ❤
❤️
My prayer is to become more like Paul and in that becoming more like Jesus…bold and unafraid to share the Gospel. I want to fight a good fight, run my race with my eyes fixed on Jesus and keep the faith!!! I want to share my life like an offering to Him, my glorious King!!
❤️
Going through the book of Acts has changed me.
