SERMONS | 1 - The Power To Soar
84 Days Of Soaring
WEEK TEN – APOLOGETICS
DAY 67 – Farther
Where To Start
Read Acts 23:1-11 and then watch the DAY SIXTY-SEVEN video.
The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”
DEVOTIONAL
WEEK 10 – APOLOGETICS
DAY SIXTY-SEVEN
Paul was faithful to Jesus in Jerusalem, and then it was time to be faithful in Rome. Jesus told Paul to take courage and testify.
Sometimes in life we just want to check out and live for ourselves instead of God.
If we conform to the patterns of the world, we won’t stand out.
We can be quiet about our faith. We can take a break from serving and ministry. We can do what we want to do. We can call the shots.
Paul could have been complacent and rationalized it by saying that he has already planted many churches, written epistles, led people to Jesus in many cities, endured devastating trials, and stated his advanced age too.
For clarity, I think taking a Sabbath is blessed, there are seasons that are less demanding, and vacations are fun. I am not promoting work as an idol or trying to earn God’s love and acceptance.
I am not promoting wasting time and energy chasing after the wrong endeavors and priorities. I am saying that God will lead you farther than you expected.
People step out of ministry before God releases them, hiding behind retirement, and making a variety of excuses as to why they should not go the extra mile. Jesus blesses us when we consistently go the extra mile. It is often farther than we wanted or expected.
Finish the race well in the power of the Holy Spirit!
Just Choose Hope
HOPE POINT
God wants you to reach farther places with His hope.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
How did Paul brilliantly divide the Sadducees and Pharisees?
How did God use Paul to reach Rome?
What is your vision and plan to bless more nations?
PRAYER
Father, You reign over all nations. We want to give Your hope to people locally and globally. Open our eyes to see Your great plan and purpose. Show us, we pray, how we can make a difference. Be strong in our weaknesses. We want to know Jesus more and make Him known to the ends of the earth. Amen.
