Join Pastor Jon Barron for the powerful conclusion of our study in the book of Acts. In this message, "The Unfinished Story," we follow the Apostle Paul on his long-awaited journey to Rome. Though he arrives in chains, the Gospel remains unhindered, showing us that God’s mission is never stopped by our circumstances.

The sermon explores three key takeaways from Acts chapter 28:

- Hope, Not Rebellion: Paul emphasizes that the Gospel is not a political threat but the fulfillment of the Hope of Israel. He identifies as a "prisoner of Christ," choosing to submit to God's lordship regardless of his physical bonds.

- The Softening of Hearts: Even in his exhaustion, Paul spends days expounding the scriptures to anyone who would listen. While some reject the message, the Gospel continues to soften hardened hearts and produce belief in those who truly perceive the truth.

- A Bold and Unhindered Witness: The book of Acts ends abruptly with Paul proclaiming the Kingdom of God with all boldness. This "unfinished" ending serves as a handoff to us—the church today—to continue writing the story of the Gospel's advance in our own communities.

As we look toward 2026, Pastor Jon challenges us to move from being "a mile wide and an inch deep" to resting deeply in the Lord and living with a responsive heart. Whether you are wrestling with a hardened heart or looking for your next step in faith, this message is a call to be an obedient ambassador for Christ.
