Trading with Jesus

Trading with Jesus

by Corey Robinson

No Borders in the Kingdom

Today we’re building off Acts 10 — a chapter that changes everything. Up until this point, most believers thought the gospel was mainly for Israel. But in Acts 10, God sends Peter to a Roman centurion named Cornelius — a Gentile. An outsider. Someone who didn’t fit the old religious mold. And while Peter is still preaching, the Holy Spirit falls on Cornelius and his household. That moment makes one thing clear: Jesus didn’t come for one nation. He came for all nations. The kingdom has no borders.

Knocked Down to Be Called Up

Today we’re in Acts 9. Saul transformed. Saul wasn’t lost and wandering. He was focused. Driven. Disciplined. He had conviction. The problem? He was passionately wrong. He was persecuting Christians, thinking he was serving God. Then Jesus interrupts him.

When God Uses Pressure to Allow for Growth

Today we’re in Acts 8. The early church is under pressure. Persecution hits. Believers are scattered. From the outside, it looks like loss. It looks like chaos. It looks like things are falling apart.

Bold When It’s Quiet

In Acts 4, Peter and John are standing before leaders who are threatening them, questioning them, trying to intimidate them into silence. And instead of shrinking back, they speak boldly about Jesus. Not because they were naturally fearless. Not because the environment was favorable. But because they were filled with the Spirit and confident in God’s plan.

Powered for the Week Ahead

Today we’re in Acts 2, Pentecost. Jesus had already lived, died, risen, and ascended. The disciples were waiting. And then the Holy Spirit came. Not softly. Not subtly. Wind. Fire. Boldness. Power.

He Reigns — So You Can Rest

Today we’re anchored in Acts 1 — the ascension of Jesus. After the cross. After the resurrection. After finishing the work. Jesus rises and returns to the Father. Scripture says He is taken up and seated in authority.

The Empty Tomb & The Power Of New Beginnings

Today we’re talking about one of the most powerful moments in the entire Bible… the resurrection of Jesus found in John 20. This is not just a history lesson or a church moment. This is the foundation of our faith and honestly, it speaks directly to how we walk through life, pressure, and even trading.

Victory Hidden Inside the Loss

Luke 23 shows Jesus on the cross giving His life for humanity. From the outside, it looked like total defeat. He was betrayed, falsely accused, mocked, beaten, and crucified. To the world, it looked like everything had gone wrong. But spiritually, this was the greatest victory ever accomplished.

Humble Enough to Win

Today we’re talking about one of the most powerful pictures of love and leadership we see in Scripture, and that comes from John 13, when Jesus washes His disciples’ feet.

Calm in the Chaos: Trusting Jesus When the Market Feels Out of Control

Today comes from Mark 5. The man Jesus meets wasn’t just struggling emotionally. He was possessed by demons. He lived in isolation, hurting himself, uncontrollable, and nobody could help him. Chains couldn’t hold him. People had completely given up on him. Then Jesus shows up.
