Miracle of the First Magnitude
Pastor Hamilton
Jesus came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets, to offer the Kingdom and himself, and to seek and save the lost.
With All Boldness
Pastor Hamilton
Luke never lets us lose sight of his real purpose—to show that the risen Christ kept the gospel message going farther and farther out. Paul was in Rome because his mission was to be a witness to Jews, Gentiles, and Kings… “to the end of the earth” (1:8).
Thank God!
Pastor Hamilton
God wants us to glorify him (publicly and privately) for his grace and goodness. Giving thanks can be part of a powerful testimony to Jesus Christ.
Take Heart (part 2)
Pastor Hamilton
We must communicate God’s Word clearly and challenge souls courageously.
Take Heart (part 1)
Pastor Hamilton
Nothing would make Paul keep the message of Christ to himself. Our faith should be open and presented to the lost.
Servant and Witness
Pastor Hamilton
Paul was appointed to be a “servant and witness” (v. 16). As disciples, we have no higher calling or greater privilege than to be servant-witnesses for Jesus Christ.
Same Ol’ Same Ol’
Pastor Hamilton
The Jews were up to their same plots, the officials were up to their same tricks, Paul was committed to the same gospel, and Christ is still advancing his Word through his servants.
What We Should All Be “Guilty” Of
Pastor Hamilton
While Paul exposes their charges as false, he shows that his love for God is true. What Paul did “confess” to is what we should all be “guilty” of.
Do This…
Pastor Hamilton
Communion aids us in our perseverance. It keeps our testimony vibrant and our eyes fixed on the Founder and Perfecter of our faith. It connects us to all who looked faithfully for his return!
Hot Potato
Pastor Hamilton
Behind all these plots to kill and attempts to save, God is working out his purpose in and through Paul as he does through us today.
