Bentonville Community Church
 

This week was our grand finale and the sixth week of our series in Acts. Pastor Jeni honed in on Acts 28:17-31 NLT as she reminded us that NOTHING can stop God’s Church from spreading and thriving.

Notes from Sunday’s Sermon:

  • Conviction that the Good News was for all meant that Paul really had hope for his Jewish community to recognize Jesus as Messiah.

  • God always fulfills his promises.

  • The prophetic word depicts Jewish resistance in 3 ways:

    • Their hearts become calloused & impervious to God’s will & guidance.

    • Their ears had difficulty hearing (meaning accepting & obeying) the Gospel message

    • Their eyes were shut to the workings of God

  • May our hearts be soft to God’s will & guidance.

  • May our ears not just hear, but accept & obey God’s voice.

  • May our eyes be opened to see the work of God all around us.

  • Not even the great Roman empire could stop God’s Church.

  • Not even the great FILL IN THE BLANK can stop God’s Church.

  • The story of God’s church is still being written & we are a part of it.

  • How will we participate in what God has promised He will do?
