Acts 21
It is perhaps easy to think this book of the Bible is called “The Acts of Paul” because of his great missionary journeys, and how he is the focus of so much action and tension. Whilst some title it “Acts of the Apostles”, we can see in this chapter especially how it could easily be called “Acts of the Disciples”, as we see how vital is the welcome and hospitality of the disciples in the places where Paul broke his journey. “Finding the disciples there, we stayed with them seven days”: what a great ministry of being able to welcome and encourage, even if it’s only for a short time before someone moves on. We see the same thing with Philip and Mnason. What might be appropriate “Acts of the Disciples” in Kidderminster East?
