Acts 19:21-20:1

December 11, 2024 • Pastor Dan Sexton

We cannot be at peace with both God and the world. Today you'll hear Pastor Dan share about Paul's time in the city of Ephesus. Ephesus was home to the temple of Diana, a very popular goddess at the time. Yet this pagan culture did NOT deter Paul from sharing the Gospel, quite the opposite. He shared the truth about Jesus BOLDLY. As a result, many came to the saving knowledge of Jesus. Don't be afraid to stand out in today's culture! The world needs to hear the Good News of Jesus.

Imagine the beginning of autumn. You’re walking through the neighborhood, and all the flowerbeds seem to have a nice, fresh batch of pine straw. However, the more you look, the more you realize that the pine straw isn’t just in the ground… it’s woven within the plants themselves. That must mean that the shedding trees are pine trees! Today, Pastor Dan teaches that people know who you are by what you produce. Will you be identified as someone who produces the love and grace of God?

For many of us, the idea of stepping out in faith can be daunting. Sure, some of us are a little more free-spirited and like to act first and think later, but the vast majority of people need to have some sort of plan in place before they take action. Today, you will learn that, sometimes, action needs to be taken before all of the answers are known. There may be some unknowns in your life that are weighing heavily on you, but as Pastor Chuck Smith said, “Just start walking, and the stone will be rolled away.”

What do you do when everyone around you tells you to do one thing, but your conscience tells you to do another? Will you allow your morals and code of ethics to be compromised by what is convenient, trendy, or comfortable? Today, Pastor Dan teaches that you have a calling in your life. Jesus has called you to follow Him, which might mean giving up some things. It might mean going against the grain of society. In the end, when Jesus calls you to “Go,” there can only be one response… “Where?”
