Are You Ready Even to Die for the Lord Jesus? – Acts 21-23 – 2026 Day 18

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 18, Acts 21-23

Acts 21:13-14 ESV — Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”

** Oops 😬 ** The text on the video should say Proverbs 18 (not Proverbs 17).

Lord, Let Me Finish the Course Well! – Acts 20 – 2026 Day 17

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 17, Acts 20

Proverbs 17:6a ESV — “Grandchildren are the crown of the aged,”

Acts 20:18-21, 24 ESV — And when they came to him, he said to them: “You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews; how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ…. But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”

Lord, help me to run this race and finish this race well – for Your glory.

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 15, Acts 19

“And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.” Acts 19:16-17 ESV

😳!

There is a way that seems RIGHT to a man, but its end is the way to DEATH – Acts 18 – 2026 Day 14

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 14, Acts 18

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” (Proverbs 14:12 ESV)


“Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, “We will hear you again about this.” So Paul went out from their midst. But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.” (Acts 17:32-34 ESV)

What You Worship as Unknown, this I Proclaim to You – Acts 16-17 – 2026 Day 13

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 13, Acts 16-17

So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said:
“Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar
with this inscription:
‘To the unknown god.’

What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.

And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him.
Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,

Who are they Persecuting?  YOU or JESUS? – Acts 9 – 2026 Day 7

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 7, Acts 9

Acts 9:4-5 ESV — And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

John 15:19 ESV — If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

Don’t be surprised if the world hates you. As a Christian, you should expect persecution. If your life is easy, if you never have to defend your faith, if no one is accusing you of being stupid for following Jesus, you need to get out more! Take a risk. Speak the name of Jesus. Refuse to hide your light under bushel. Remember, it’s really HIM they’re persecuting.

Are You a Spirit-Led Follower of Jesus Christ? – Acts 8 – 2026 Day 6

Published on by kendraskeLeave a comment

Read the Bible in 2 Years: Proverbs 6, Acts 8

There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV

Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money, saying, “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money! You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.”
