Trading with Jesus

Before we look at the charts today, Acts chapter 28 gives us a powerful final reminder from the book of Acts: circumstances can restrict you, disappoint you, and even knock you off course, but they cannot stop the purpose of God.

Before we look at the charts today, Acts chapter 27 gives us a powerful reminder that when everything around us feels chaotic, we still have a choice about where we place our confidence

Before we look at the charts today, Acts chapter 26 gives us a powerful reminder that God can completely transform a life and then use that transformation for His purpose.

It’s Monday, a new trading week is here, and Acts chapter 25 gives us a powerful reminder that just because the path looks complicated does not mean God has lost control.

It’s Sunday, so before another trading week begins, Acts chapter 24 gives us a powerful reminder about how to carry ourselves when the outcome is delayed, the situation feels unfair, and we are tempted to get impatient.

It’s Saturday, so the charts are closed and today gives us a chance to slow down, reflect on the week, and remember something Acts chapter 23 makes very clear: chaos does not mean God has lost control.

Before we look at the charts today, Acts chapter 22 gives us a powerful reminder that your past does not get the final word over your life. Paul stands before an angry crowd and tells the story of who he used to be, how Jesus met him, and how that encounter completely changed his direction.

Before we look at the charts today, Acts chapter 21 gives us a powerful picture of what obedience looks like when the path ahead is uncomfortable. Paul knows hardship is waiting for him in Jerusalem, yet he remains committed to what God has called him to do.

Before we look at the charts today, Acts chapter 20 gives us a powerful reminder that faithfulness is not about having an easy journey. It is about staying committed to what God has called us to do even when pressure, uncertainty, and difficulty show up along the way.

Before we look at the charts today, Acts chapter 19 gives us a powerful reminder that real transformation in Christ requires more than inspiration. Sometimes it requires us to let go of the very things that keep pulling us backward.

It’s Monday, a fresh trading week is in front of us, and Acts chapter 18 gives us a powerful reminder for the moments when we feel tired, resisted, or unsure if we should keep going. Paul arrives in Corinth, a difficult city with plenty of opposition, but God meets him there with provision, community, and reassurance.

It’s Sunday, so before another trading week begins, Acts chapter 17 gives us a powerful reminder about what deserves our attention, our trust, and ultimately our worship. Paul walks into Athens and finds a city full of ideas, philosophies, and idols. Everybody is searching for truth, but many are looking in the wrong places. That sounds a lot like the world we live in now, and honestly, it can sound a lot like trading too.

It’s Saturday, so today gives us a chance to step away from the charts, slow down, and reflect on something Acts chapter 16 makes very clear: sometimes a closed door is not rejection. Sometimes it is redirection.

It’s Friday, the end of another trading week, and Acts chapter 15 gives us a timely reminder about grace, pressure, and the danger of believing that our worth has to be earned. The early Church was wrestling with whether Gentile believers needed to follow the Law of Moses in order to truly belong. The answer was clear: salvation comes through the grace of Jesus Christ, not human performance.

Before we look at the charts today, Acts chapter 14 reminds us that faithfulness does not mean everything will be easy. Sometimes obedience comes with resistance, growth comes with pressure, and the very season that feels the hardest is the one God is using to strengthen us the most.

Before we look at the charts today, Acts chapter 13 reminds us that God does not call us to move without direction. He calls us with purpose, prepares us through His Spirit, and teaches us to trust Him even when the path ahead is not completely

Before we look at the charts today, Acts chapter 12 gives us a powerful reminder about what to do when pressure feels heavy and circumstances seem completely out of our control. Peter is in prison, James has already been killed, Herod is increasing the persecution, and from a human perspective, the situation looks terrible. But Acts 12:5 tells us that the Church was earnestly praying to God for Peter. They could not control Herod. They could not break Peter out themselves. But they could pray.

It’s Monday, a new trading week is here, and before we look at the charts, Acts chapter 11 gives us a powerful reminder about staying open to God’s direction. Sometimes we can get so attached to our expectations, routines, and way of doing things that we resist the very change God is trying to use for our growth.

It’s Sunday, so before another trading week begins, this is a good time to slow down and make sure our perspective is aligned with Christ. Sometimes the biggest thing God wants to change is not our circumstances, but the way we see them.

It’s Saturday, so today gives us a chance to step away from execution and look a little deeper. We spend a lot of time trying to improve our strategy, refine our entries, and become more consistent in the market. But Acts chapter 9 reminds us that sometimes the biggest transformation God wants to make is not in our system. It is in us.
