Sunday Morning

Date: 5th January 2025

Passage: Acts 19:8-10

-------------------

In today's sermon, Pastor Leger addresses the challenges individuals face when they encounter obstacles in life, using the example of the Apostle Paul from Acts 19:8-10. Pastor Leger encourages us to adopt a mindset of perseverance rather than defeat when confronted with difficulties, whether those challenges arise from personal situations or opposition to your faith. He emphasizes that Paul's approach involved speaking boldly about the Kingdom of God, despite the potential backlash, and engaging in meaningful conversations that spread the message of Jesus. This boldness is framed not as aggressive confrontation, but as confident and thoughtful dialogue based on scripture. Pastor Leger then explores the importance of adaptability in our mission. When Paul faced rejection in the synagogue, he didn't give up; instead, he pivoted to a more receptive environment, which ultimately led to a period of fruitful ministry in Ephesus. Pastor Leger draws a parallel to the modern believer's experience, urging listeners to recognize that hitting a wall can be an opportunity to find new ways to share the gospel. Through perseverance in their faith journey—much like Paul's unwavering commitment to teaching—believers can have a ripple effect, influencing others over time. Pastor Leger ends by challenging us to reflect on where we can boldly engage in conversations about our faith and to trust that our efforts, no matter how small, can lead to significant changes in the lives of those around us.
