Overcoming Barriers to the Good News
Acts 14:1-18
The Mother’s Day videos shared in today’s worship service live stream are at the end of this post.
With God’s help, we can learn to naturally and effectively share His love with others.
I. The Power of the Spoken Word (Acts 14:1-3)
When we share the words containing the good news about Jesus, we must be empowered by the Holy Spirit.
We can let people know that God loves them and wants to help them by the power of the spoken word and through a lifestyle of living out that word.
II. The Power of Presence (Acts 14:2-3a)
Never underestimate the power of presence.
Just being there for somebody often does more for them than all the words you can say.
Be such a friend that even if they never seem to take a step toward God, you will still be their friend!
III. The Power of Miracles (Acts 14:3-10)
However, I believe that He wants to do even more miracles while we are sharing the good news about Jesus.
IV. The Power of Humility (Acts 14:11-18)
Pride is a dangerous thing, and it has resulted in the fall of many great men.
We just need to be humble and obedient, just doing what He has asked us to do.
