Three Truths in Authentic Gospel Ministry:
- God sovereignly leads it (16:6-10, 25-26)
2. The proclamation of God’s Word is central in it (16:6, 14, 17, 31-32; 17:3, 11-13)
3. There will be opposition to it (16:19-24; 17:5-9,13)
Conclusion: The Right Side Up World – Jesus is Lord!
Discussion Questions:
- What is your big takeaway from today’s passage?
- How often are we conscious that God is in control of Gospel Mission despite what things look like? How can we cultivate a greater awareness and reliance on His sovereignty?
- What does proclaiming Jesus look like in your life? How are you growing your ability to speak the Word to all around you?
