What does it look like to be chosen by God? How do we know if we have been sent by him to spread the gospel? How can we be equipped with the tools necessary to share good news with others?

In his sermon, “Chosen & Sent,” centered on Acts 9:1-31, Pastor Jeff Winters (Guest Preacher) answers these questions by sharing how Saul, later called Paul, was chosen by God to share the gospel and advance God’s Kingdom to the ends of the earth.

Because of Paul’s faithfulness to answer God’s call and follow the Holy Spirit’s leading, the church in Judea and the surrounding areas grew as the people were strengthened by the Lord. In the same way, when we too are obedient to God’s commands, those around us can be encouraged and strengthened in their faith just like we see in the book of Acts.

What does it look like to be faithful in the face of persecution? How can we equip ourselves with the tools necessary to share the gospel? How can we best advance the gospel across social and ethnic barriers?

Can the Gospel ever be thwarted? Can God ever fail? Can the Christian trust that God will see His Will accomplished?

Robbie Tschorn answers these questions and more in the sermon “God Cannot Be Stopped” (Acts 5:12-42).

God is always moving whether we see it or not. When opposition arises outside of and even within the church, the Christian can rest assured that God’s power will forever be on display and that He will see to it that the Good News of Jesus be advanced. Because of this, the Believer can have confident trust in the Lord - not letting worry over take them - and be empowered by the fact that God can and will use them to accomplish His will.
