I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 1:4

This surely must be the greatest blessing, gift and comfort for parents, to see their children come to faith in Christ. But perhaps you are a parent and you haven't received this blessing yet. Perhaps you have adult children who have not surrendered their life to Jesus. I'm sure many sleepless nights can be accounted for spent in tears and prayer.

What about an adult child who struggles with salvation? They have prayed to be saved, but they don't "feel saved." How does a parent guide and encourage them?

This is the heart of our question today in our ASK THE PASTOR series. Joshua explains, the Bible is very clear about salvation. It isn't based on feelings or emotions, but it is a confession and a heart belief, which results in a changed life. Have a listen to hear how Joshua explains it.

OK, we get you ready to finish the book of Acts this week with the reading of the final two chapters, Acts chapters 27-28.

Paul is finally heading to Rome!

It's been 30 years (give or take) since Jesus told his disciples they would be his witnesses to the end of the earth. Does that seem incredible to you? It boggles my mind in the most amazing way!

Be sure to listen all the way through to the end to find out what's happening after we finish with Acts. I'm calling it our "Winter Program." (That makes it sound more official.)

Our penultimate weekly Bible study of the book of Acts reads like a script from a Broadway play, Our main character Paul stand trial before three powerful men, Governor Felix, Governor Festus, and King Agrippa II.

The Jews are still blood thirsty, and even the passage of time has not curbed their blood lust.

Paul finally arrives at the decision to appeal to Caesar, and although Festus promises to send him, he waits on the council of King Agrippa, who is an expert in Jewish customs.

In the end, we find that God is in ultimate control, just as he is today.

We've got a really interesting question today for our Bonus Series, "Ask the Pastor."

One listener asks, "How important is it for the church today to observe or honor the biblical feasts and festivals, for example, the Passover Seder?

Have you ever considered this question?

I'm back with my Sr. Teaching Pastor, Joshua York, and he digs into this question with some help from his regular Sunday morning preaching series through the book of Hebrews.

The feasts, festivals and food laws were a central part of the Mosiac Law, and the ancient Jewish people knew them like the back of their hand. But did they stand alone or did they point to something greater? Do the writers of the New Testament speak to Old Testament feasts fulfilled in the New Testament? Are Christians obligated to keep Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles? How are we to understand the Law of Moses vs the Law of Christ?

Joshua says a lot in just a few minutes on this jam-packed episode. It's good to stimulate the mind and think deeply about Spiritual things. I hope you enjoy this special episode.

This week we have three of my favorite chapters in the book of Acts: Acts 24, Acts 25, and Acts 26. If you have listened to me for very long, y'all know I am a history nut, and these three chapters bloom with history.

In this week's reading you'll encounter two Judean Governors: Antonius Felix and Porcius Festus. You'll also meet King Agrippa and his sister, Bernice.

There's a surprise in this Prepisode, as you get "a little extra for no charge," a treat usually reserved for full episodes. But don't worry, it won't spoil it for the discussion episode, because next week I'll have A LOT of extra for no charge as I fill in some of the historical details that will help with some context.

As always, you can find a little extra for no charge at She Walks Worthy Podcast on Facebook or Instagram. And I'd love for you to reach out and tell me your family Christmas Traditions for an upcoming holiday bonus episode!

Another week down in our Acts Bible Study this week as we look into Paul's arrest in Jerusalem. Paul battles false rumors, false accusations, a near death experience from mob violence, escapes a flogging, splinters the Sanhedrin, has a visit from the Lord (!!!), has a visit from his nephew (!!) and makes a midnight escape from a death threat. Whew!

We hear Paul's testimony, we see Paul's Roman Citizenship revealed, and we witness Paul's commission to go to Rome.

It's a jam packed episode you won't want to miss.

So today on our special Bonus Series of Ask the Pastor we tackle a delicate but oh-so-important question: Does the Bible teach an age of accountability? All my life I've heard that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus, but also that when babies die, they go to heaven. How can we reconcile these teachings, or is "babies go to heaven' just something we say?

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode deals with the loss of infants and children in the greater context of "the age of accountability." If this is a tender area for you, we totally understand if this is one that you may need some extra time on.

HOWEVER, Pastor Joshua receives this topic with Pastoral Care and handles it with utmost courtesy and care. He can also speak from experience as one who has lost a child before birth, so he knows how delicate this topic is.

He speaks to some general truths about God that we must understand, and then he shares two specific Biblical views that can help comfort parents as they navigate this difficult situation.

If this is a sensitive area for you, I hope this will be a soothing balm as you look forward to the day you can be reunited with your cherished loved one.

We are getting ready to peek in at Paul's arrest in Jerusalem this week in our Acts Bible Study. The Jews have set their sights on Paul and they have him in the cross hairs.

Paul gets a surprising visitor while he's in jail, though. And this visitor gives Paul some reassuring news....Acts 1:8 will be fulfilled.

Read Acts 21:17-23:35 with us this week to get the whole story.
