Nobility sounds British, as in dukes and duchesses or barons and baronesses. But in the Book of Acts noble means something else. The Apostle Paul and his missionary entourage entered a Greek city named Berea where they encountered people whom the author of Acts described as "noble-minded." Even before you know what that word means, you want it. It just sounds that good. May the Spirit inform us of its meaning and then bless our pursuit of being: noble-minded.

Every book of the Bible is about Jesus. Although some Bibles title the fifth book of the New Testament “The Acts of the Apostles,” it’s still about Jesus. We’re not going to study it as just scholars, but we’re going to study it also as soldiers. Scholars and soldiers tend to be the ones who study history the most. Scholars tend to look at what people used to do; soldiers tend to look for what remains to be done. One is for information, the other is for mission. We will study the Book of Acts for both.
