Have you ever shouldered a responsibility that leaves no room for failure? This sermon follows Paul and Silas on a journey where the Holy Spirit twice forbids them to go on, only to call them at last to Macedonia, where a single woman, Lydia, responds to the gospel (Acts 16). You will hear why the results of our service do not rest on our shoulders, and how the life of faith differs from stepping on exactly the right stones as in an adventure film, where one wrong move ends everything. Listen if you need somewhere to hand over your obsession with control.
It Cannot Fail
To the Ends of the Earth
Jesus entrusted us with the task of spreading the Good News of salvation to the ends of the earth. However, we are not the first to carry out this mission. Therefore, as we seek inspiration for action, we want to learn from those who were there at the very beginning-by turning to the Book of Acts.
As we read it, we discover that despite numerous adversities, the Gospel proclaimed in the power of the Holy Spirit is unstoppable. It breaks through one barrier after another and transforms people’s lives-often those of the least expected.
The Acts of the Apostles is a book in which a great deal truly happens. It’s worth reading so that something might happen in your life as well-and in the lives of the people God places in your path.
