The Case for Easter by Lee Strobel

You might think of it as an investigation into Christ’s death and resurrection, that answers a few key questions. Was Jesus’ death a sham? Was his tomb really empty? Was He seen alive after his death on the cross? This would be a great resource to share around Easter time.

Today we’ll resume our study in Acts with a look at chapter seventeen, and how the ministry of Paul and Barnabas and friends was turning the world upside down! Or I should say turning it right side up! This message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ was controversial to say the least, but God was saving a lot of souls! Today’s mixed up world could use a good dose of the pure gospel truth, don’t you think?

You might find it easy to praise the Lord in church on Sunday when all is well, but what about in a jail cell, and you’re there for being faithful to God’s calling on your life?  Well that’s the place we find Paul and Silas in Acts sixteen.  While we might expect them to be moaning and groaning about the circumstances they find themselves in, they were actually praying and singing hymns to God!  Today on Abounding Grace we’ll see how we can follow their lead, next time we find ourselves in a trial similar to this dungeon in Philippi.

We’ve all experienced closed doors, and it can be hard to handle.  Maybe you didn’t get into the school of your dreams, or got passed over for a job you really wanted.  But as we’ll learn today on Abounding Grace, those closed doors can lead to incredible blessings. We’ll take you to Acts chapter sixteen and observe how the Holy Spirit led Paul and his missionary team.  It’ll prove to be valuable instruction as we try to make sense of those inevitable closed doors.
