Life rarely goes according to plan — and Paul's journey to Rome was no exception. In this message, Dr. John follows Paul as he embarks on his voyage to Rome, tracing how God's providence weaves through every detail, from the kindness of a centurion to the dangers of a worsening sea. A grounding reminder that Christ, not circumstances, directs the lives of those who belong to him.

Jesus Goes Global: A Prisoner of Christ: When we read the book of Acts, we tend to give primary attention to the formation and growth of the Church in the early chapters. We then highlight the three mission trips of Paul. But some of the most profound lessons lie in the final chapters of Acts 25-28. Dr. John will show God extending His Kingdom through the personal struggle and imprisonment of Paul. The world’s worst cannot impede God’s best.

Jason and Tori Benham equip couples and families to face fear, panic and anxiety that would otherwise prevent us from doing what God has called us to do.

They also describe a proven biblical and brain-based process that helped set them free from these kinds of debilitating struggles. The 3-step plan of attack involves recognizing what’s happening, renouncing the lie, and replacing it with the truth.

At the completion of the temple, Solomon prays for the people—that the Lord might be gracious to them and bless them. He then represents the people in offering praise and sacrifice to the Lord, and the people go home joyful for the Lord’s goodness to them. Here we have a picture of the bliss of living under the Lord’s King and in the Lord’s presence—a beautiful picture of what it will be like to live in the heavenly Jerusalem.

Sermon Overview
Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 6:12

The Bible is not a book of rules, but a book of principles. Rules can be manipulated and laws have loopholes, but principles are timeless and unchanging. Therefore, the Bible is a trusted source to cite when making daily decisions.

There are six positive principles to live by, and questions to ask ourselves for a proper daily practice of the Christian faith.

Expediency: Does this bring me to my appointed goal or does it hinder me?
"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful...” (1 Corinthians 6:12). We ought to have God-given goals for our lives and a holy ambition to accomplish them. Our decisions should honor the direction we are going.

Enslavement: Am I brought under the power of anything other than Jesus Christ?
“...all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any” (1 Corinthians 6:12).

Jesus came to set us free from our addictions, vices, and bad habits. Under His sovereignty alone can we experience true freedom.

Example: Even if this doesn’t hurt me, will it hurt somebody else?
Even if we do not struggle with certain vices, our endorsement of it could lead others to stumble.

Adrian Rogers says, “Don’t let your head run away with your heart; we are here to operate by love. Knowledge puffs you up, but love builds up.”

Edification: Does this build me up or tear me down?
"...all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify" (1 Corinthians 10:23). Everything we do will either build us up or tear us down; we should value friendships, conversations, and entertainment that refresh, renew and restore.

Exaltation: Is God glorified by what I’m doing?
Colossians 3:17 says, “Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus…” Every decision we make either honors or dishonors the Lord. We should strive to exalt God in everything we do.

Evangelism: Is there anything that keeps me from bringing anybody else to Jesus Christ?
