Have you ever felt like you're getting mixed signals from the Holy Spirit? Good news- it probably pales in comparison to what Paul dealt with! After God has given him explicit instructions to go to Jerusalem, he is warned over and over of the impending suffering if he goes. What is Paul to do? Did God change his mind? Are the prophets and disciples misled in their pleadings?

Watch as Paul walks in obedience and gives us a case study in how to prepare for hard times (whether or not a literal prophet tells you they're coming!).

Are you relating with Paul's experience? Check out this link- it has 100 verses on suffering and may be an encouragement to you as you walk through these tough times. https://www.openbible.info/topics/suffering

Also, a host of old friends pop up in tonight's study! Remember Philip, the guy who led the Ethiopian Eunuch to Christ? He's here. Remember Agabus, the guy who predicted the famine in AD 46? He's here, too. Remember James, Jesus' brother? Yup, he makes a cameo! Consider this your star-studded Bible Study of the week.
