Acts:  Obstacles and Opportunities 

Acts 27-28

 

WHEN IN ROME . . .

 

  • Don’t let obstacles discourage you from sharing your faith story.
    • God has a way of taking obstacles and turning them into opportunities.
      • Make the most of every opportunity.

 

  • Be intentional about sharing your faith story.

“After three days, he (Paul) called together the local leaders of the Jews . . . For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am wearing this chain.”  Acts 28:17a, 20

 

  • Who will you invite to hear your story?
  • What hope will you give them?

 

  • Pray that all who hear your faith story, and see your life, will respond in obedience to the gospel.

“ . . . lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.”  Acts 28:27b

  • That they will hear the gospel.
  • That they will see the gospel.
  • That they will understand the gospel.
  • That they will turn to Christ and be saved.

 

  • Tell your faith story courageously and freely.

“ . . . proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.”  Acts 28:31
