Glory to Glory

Part 10: The Roman Journey

This week, Freddy continued in our series, Glory to Glory, looking at Acts 21-27, which highlights three key themes: Paul’s unwavering dedication to spreading the gospel, God’s steadfast faithfulness to Paul, and the persistent opposition Paul faced. Despite numerous trials, Paul’s commitment to God never wavered. He continued to share the gospel whether he was put on trial, driven from a city, or standing before rulers like Agrippa, Festus, or Felix. The message of Jesus was not just something he believed—it was an integral part of who he was. Paul shows us that while we cannot always control our circumstances, we can find peace in any situation when our identity is firmly rooted in Jesus.Whatever you are going through, rather than seeking relief through other means—be it social media, distractions, or substances—turn to Jesus, who can offer true comfort and transformation. When we cry out and invite Jesus into our lives, he sees, knows, and acknowledges our pain. In Acts 23:11, we read, “The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, ‘Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.’” Even in our darkest moments, God stands near, offering courage and guidance to us just like he did for Paul. Regardless of where you find yourself, if you are willing to cry out and invite Jesus in, he will meet you where you are and comfort you like nobody else can. You’re not alone; he is with you!
