In Acts 27–28, Pastor Jeff walks us through Paul's harrowing journey—shipwreck, snakebite, hostile crowds, and two years under guard—revealing five powerful truths: nothing will redirect your course, sink your calling, end your assignment, stop God's timing, or silence your message.
- 2You are God's WitnessWhat if the very chains holding you back are actually positioning you for your greatest moment of witness? In Acts 25–26, Pastor Jeff unpacks how the Apostle Paul—imprisoned for two years—suddenly stood before kings, governors, and city leaders, not by accident, but by God's perfect design. God opens the doors, assembles the audience, and empowers the witness—all you bring is availability.
- 3When Following God Feels DisappointingPastor Jeff reminded us that following Jesus doesn’t guarantee an easy life—it often means enduring trials, delays, and opposition. Through Paul’s two-year imprisonment in Acts 24, we see a man who refused to be shaken by critics, compromise his convictions, waste his circumstances, or doubt God’s faithfulness.
- 4God's Curriculum for Building CouragePastor Jeff reveals how God uses questioned faithfulness, ineffective witness, overwhelming odds, and apparent failure as his curriculum for courage.

- 10Revival Starts With A RemnantWhat if the remnant God's seeking to spark revival is you?
