Hearing God’s Voice in Rome | Daily Devotional and Bible Study

Hearing God’s Voice in Rome | Daily Devotional and Bible Study

Where was the New Testament written? So much of it ties to Rome, and Acts 28:30-31 ends with Paul in a rented house there.

We're taking a short break from our Luke study for a mini series from Rome, so you can join a virtual Bible Study Live retreat from wherever you are. In this first episode I explain why Rome, how my first trip changed the way I read Scripture, and what it's like to stand in the hidden room that tradition connects to Luke's house, the place where I've heard clearly from the Lord.

Join me on an immersive Bible Study Experience. Learn more at BibleStudyLive.org (biblestudylive.org)
