Rumble | YouTube | SermonAudio | New Arbor Bible Church Back to Acts for 1 chapter, then we go to Romans in our next devotional, according to the schedule I’m following for these devotions.

2 Corinthians 1
Rumble | YouTube | SermonAudio | New Arbor Bible Church Read 2 Corinthians 1. In 2 Corinthians 1 Paul began, after his usual opening in verses 1-2, to praise God for the comfort He gave to Paul during his times of trouble (vv. 3-11). Paul then wrote at some length about trouble in general (vv. […]
Acts 19
Rumble | YouTube | SermonAudio | New Arbor Bible Church Read Acts 19.

2 Thessalonians 3
Rumble | YouTube | SermonAudio | New Arbor Bible Church Read 2 Thessalonians 3. We all know that we should be praying for our missionaries and others who serve the Lord full-time in ministry.

2 Thessalonians 1
Rumble | YouTube | SermonAudio | New Arbor Bible Church Read 2 Thessalonians 1. In yesterday’s reading we read about the end of humanity as we know it.

Galatians 4
Rumble | YouTube | SermonAudio | New Arbor Bible Church Read Galatians 4. Paul’s plea to the Galatians continued in this chapter, and it was a very anxious plea!

Acts 12
Rumble | YouTube | SermonAudio | New Arbor Bible Church Read Acts 12. Persecution by the religious leadership in Jerusalem started back in Acts 7 with the stoning of Stephen. It continued in Acts 8 through Saul, but God saved him in Acts 9. Here in Acts 12 we were told that Herod, a Jewish […]
Acts 2
Rumble | YouTube | SermonAudio | New Arbor Bible Church Read Acts 2. What is “fellowship?” It is a term that we Christians use frequently. But do we really understand what it means?
