Preacher: Jeremy Herbert

Text: Acts 18:1-18a

Theme: Church on Fire

Thesis: Take intentional time to reflect on God’s goodness.

Notes:

These verses cover a 1500 mile trek taking time to reflect, renew and refresh will lead to greater fruitfulness and joy in ministry. Paul is a church planter and is heading to Antioch the first church that Paul planted. Aquila and Pricilla went with him, to set up a new branch of their tent making business to help support the missions.

Paul took a Nazarite vow, a common Jewish practice, to show his support for saving Jews.

People in the Bible who took Nazarite vows:

* Sampson

* Samuel

* John the Baptist

 

What do we see as far as Gods work in Paul’s life?

* Reflect on God’s goodness.

* God gave him fruitful ministry.

* Paul conducted regular Nazarite vows.

* Paul was overflowing with thankfulness

 

Take intentional time to reflect on God’s goodness.

Every time we stop and thank God, we recalibrate our hearts and refocus on God’s plan.
