Full Sermon // July 12, 2026
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?
