How do you feel about the word CHANGE? Some people love that word, but for many, change is difficult. Change can be emotionally draining, especially if it’s change we didn’t anticipate or ask for.
Does Paul’s life as a sojourner have anything to teach us about change? I believe it does. This Sunday, we’ll join Paul in the middle of his third missionary trip, through a riot in Ephesus and another attempt on his life in Greece. And in the midst of another chaotic chapter in Acts, we’ll get to hear Paul’s secret for handling change in his life—three simple words that gave him constant peace, no matter what changes he faced.

What is a sojourner? Webster’s definition is “one who takes up temporary residence in a place.” In this series, we will deepen our understanding of what it truly means to be a sojourner here on earth. In part 1, we l look at three key characteristics from the life of Paul to inspire us to remember we are simply “passing through."
Crossroads

What can we learn about the life of a Sojourner? We get a picture of what its like to live a life called to God. When you live a life of serving God, you will come to a crossroads. One path would be easy, comfortable, full of self reward. The other path is more complicated. It’s sacrifice, being uncomfortable, a step of faith but in the end a life of serving God is the most rewarding. Let us not say no and turn down opportunities due to fear but instead say yes in faith.
