Acts - week 7
Aug 16, 2026 • Scott Bodenhamer
This sermon walks through Acts 16–18 and Paul’s second missionary journey, highlighting the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit even when God redirects our plans. Through Paul and Silas worshiping in prison, we’re reminded that faithfulness in suffering becomes a powerful witness to others. In Athens, Paul shows how to proclaim Christ within the surrounding culture, pointing people from the “unknown god” to the risen Jesus. The message challenges believers to measure success not by human standards, but by effectiveness and obedience where God has placed them. It closes by emphasizing boldness, discipleship, and the need for Christian community through the example of Apollos, Priscilla, and Aquila.
