Your Plans- God’s Plan: Part Two (3 of 3)
Series: Step Up: Overcoming Spiritual Inertia
Scott Maze
Acts 28: 29-31
As we kick off our week of prayer for missions, we are grateful for your faithful giving to Stronger Together where you provided approximately 1/3 the funds for their new orphanage to GHI.
Before we really get started this morning, I feel the need to say something. In this political season, I think I need to say, ''I am Scott Maze and I approve this message.''
What if you could say one sentence that the entire world could understand? What would you say? Our study of Acts concludes today by featuring Paul's steadfast calling on his life. If you asked Paul, ''If you could say ONE sentence that the entire world could understand? What would you say?'' Jesus died and rose again so that alienated rebellious sinners could experience God's rich mercy. He has spent four years in chains but Paul has finally arrived in Rome (Acts 28:14)!
''Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.'' 30 He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, 31 proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance'' (Acts 28:29-31).
Everything has gone wrong for Paul. Everything! He's been imprisoned. He's nearly assassinated. He's falsely accused. He's been stoned. While everything has gone wrong for Paul but everything went right for the gospel.
''Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound'' (2 Timothy 2:8-9)!
God supernaturally orchestrates everything so that the gospel is unstoppable. The gospel of God's rich mercy is offered in His Son, Jesus, is unstoppable.
