Know Your Role (17 of 22)
Series: UnStoppable - Acts
Tim Badal
Acts 21:27-22:21
Turn in God's Word to the book of Acts as we continue in our series Unstoppable. For those who are new, my name is Tim Badal, and I have the privilege of serving these great people as lead pastor. We've been looking at the last half of Acts, which chronicles the life and times of the early church. We've been following in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul as he has been called by God to share the good news of Jesus Christ with a lost world.
As we look at Paul, we realize he had been given incredible gifts and abilities to fulfill a very significant calling. It's clear he was one of a kind. That's part of the reason we're dedicating so much time to studying this faithful servant who obeyed and followed Christ through both good times and bad. But we need to remember that just as Paul was living out his calling, we also have been called by God to serve in the places where we work and do life. We are to be salt and light in a lost world (Matthew 5:13-16). He might not be calling us to deal with all the hardships Paul experienced, or even to the amazing fruits of his ministry. Our lives might be quite a bit more ordinary.
As we look today at another eventful text in which lots of things are happening, we will find applications that will be great for us as well. Paul modeled an unstoppable faith in Jesus Christ, and our faith in 2019 needs to be like his. Given the abilities and personality God has chosen for each one of us, He wants to use us in powerful ways to not only be changed ourselves, but to change the world around us.
This morning we'll be in Acts 21 and 22. It's a large text, so we'll read it in pieces as I go through my message. But just to provide some context, Paul had been traveling throughout Asia Minor and Macedonia, which is modern-day Turkey, Syria and Greece. He had been sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, then planting churches and discipling believer ...
