Perhaps no single man has been more used of God than the Apostle Paul. He established many churches and wrote much of the New Testament. However, when Paul’s passionate zeal for his own people led him to preach the Gospel in Jerusalem, he was met with great opposition. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie teaches us that when we proclaim the Good News, it will not always be easy. We may not even live to see the fruits of our labor, but God’s Word will never return void.

In the book of Acts, Paul appeared before the Sanhedrin to give testimony about Jesus Christ. The Sanhedrin consisted of Jewish authorities that were fiercely divided into two groups: the Pharisees and the Sadducees. The Pharisees believed in the resurrection and the afterlife. The Sadducees did not. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie points out that through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Paul used his Jewish background to help defend himself in a very shortly lived trail.

In Acts chapter 22, Paul appeared before the Sanhedrin and boldly declared the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Paul spoke knowing that his boldness could cost him even his very life. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie teaches us that whenever we dare to tell others about Jesus, there will be those that will try to shut our mouths. However, we should pray, as Paul surely did, for strength and boldness so that sinners would hear and be saved.

In Acts 22, speaks to the Jewish authorities. Paul chose pontificate with eloquent theology or give listeners a brief course in Christian apologetics. Instead, Paul shared his personal life changing testimony. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie encourages us to be willing to share what the Lord has done in our lives. There is nothing more miraculous to a desperate world than a life changed by the Lord. We are Christ’s witnesses that are here to proclaim His power.

The Apostle Paul never shied away from sharing the Gospel. He would do anything to reach the lost. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie teaches us that as Paul spoke to people, he did everything that he could do identify with them. When he was speaking to the Jews, for instance, he spoke to them in Hebrew, their mother tongue. As he did so, cultural barriers were instantly removed. We should emulate Paul’s actions by doing our best to relate to people as we share the Good News.

Paul was not a people pleaser. He lived to bring glory to God and lead others to Christ. He was a Gentile to the Gentile and a Jew to the Jew. But as Pastor Eddie clarifies in today’s message, he never went so far as to compromise his faith in Christ. He respected people’s customs, and even participated in some for the sake of finding unity with them. He knew that it wasn’t about rules and regulations, it was about Christ.

It is only by the grace of God and the power of His Holy Spirit that we live a righteous life. There’s nothing for us to boast about or take pride in apart from Him. He has redeemed us and equipped us to share His love with the world around us. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie encourages us to find confidence in Him, and when He accomplishes good works through you, give Him all the glory.

Would you be willing to sacrifice your eternity in heaven if it meant your friends or loved ones could experience it? If we’re honest, most of us would say no. Fortunately, God would never call us to do that. He loves us too much. As Pastor Eddie reminds us in today’s message, Jesus sacrificed Himself for us. He was without sin, but He took on ours, freeing us from condemnation.
