Dr. Ed Seay, Magnolia’s First Baptist Church

Today’s Big Idea - 

“When we live in faith, Christ is seen in our suffering.”

• If you are faithful to the Lord, you will sometimes be misrepresented or even lied about.

• Attitude makes all the difference in whether God can use us or not.

Takeaways from Today’s Story:

• Even faithful believers will have differences and times of disagreement but God is honored by humble reconciliation.

“A Jailhouse Conversion” - Acts 16

As we take next steps in our journey of faith, He directs the details of our lives.

“Showdown with a False Prophet” - Acts 13:1-12

Dr. Ed Seay, Magnolia’s First Baptist Church

Today’s Big Idea -

“We must have God’s power to do God’s work.”

God calls all of us to be His witnesses but 

He calls some to become missionary evangelists.

When God calls some to a specific missionary assignment, 

the church is to endorse and support them.

God’s call may be to a specific location, a particular region 

or an itinerant ministry that impacts numerous areas.

When taking the gospel to a new location, the missionaries look for ways to make relational and spiritual connections.

When doing missionary work, the enemy will not sit idly by.

He will oppose God’s work intensely and powerfully.

If we try to fight a spiritual battle without the Holy Spirit’s 

power, we will be overmatched and overpowered.

When God’s power is victorious through His people, it is a compelling witness to those who are considering the gospel.

People will not be won to faith in Christ through our intellect 

or ingenuity but through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Takeaways from today’s story:

• We must remember that we are all missionaries wherever God plants us and we need the Holy Spirit’s power.
