Day 314 | Acts 8:1b–9:43After Stephen’s death, a great wave of persecution sweeps through Jerusalem, scattering the believers—but God turns their suffering into mission. Philip preaches in Samaria and to the Ethiopian eunuch, showing that the gospel is for every nation. Meanwhile, Saul, who leads the persecution, encounters Jesus on the road to Damascus and is forever changed. Through persecution and obedience, the gospel begins to move beyond Jerusalem, fulfilling Jesus’ promise that His witnesses would reach the ends of the earth.Hosts: Michael Pritchard, Ben TaylorVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch

Stephen’s Bold Sermon Before His Death | Day 313
Day 313 | Acts 6:1–8:1aStephen was an ordinary man filled with extraordinary faith. Chosen to serve, he boldly proclaimed the truth before the Sanhedrin, tracing God’s faithfulness through Israel’s history and revealing how it all pointed to Jesus. When his words enraged the religious leaders, Stephen looked to heaven and saw Jesus standing at God’s right hand. As stones fell, he prayed for his attackers, showing the power of a Spirit-filled life and the courage to stand firm to the very end.Hosts: Ben Taylor, Derek EwaltVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch

Ordinary Men with Extraordinary Boldness | Day 312
Day 312 | Acts 3:1–5:42The early church was marked by bold faith, miraculous power, and fearless obedience. When Peter and John healed a man who had been crippled for forty years, crowds were amazed—but not everyone rejoiced. Arrested and threatened, the apostles stood firm, declaring, “We must obey God rather than men.” Empowered by the Holy Spirit, these ordinary men changed the world through their confidence in Christ, their bold preaching, and their willingness to suffer for the gospel.Hosts: Noah Sidhom, Michael PritchardVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch

Day 311 | Mark 16:19-20; Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:1–2:47After Jesus’ ascension, His followers gathered in prayer, waiting for the promise of the Holy Spirit.

United in prayer, fellowship, and devotion to God’s Word, the early church became a living testimony of God’s power and presence.

This Great Commission is not just for pastors or missionaries but for every Christian who follows Christ. And we are never sent alone—He is with us always, even to the end of the age.Hosts: Noah Sidhom, Derek EwaltVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
