2. The Current Mission - Acts 28:1-16 - Snakes, Lions, and “gods” - PDF

  • Resumen

  • We have an enemy. One who desires our demise, hates the image we are made in, and seeks to destroy us in whatever way he can. For many believers in Jesus today there is a blindness to this reality, and it is time we opened our eyes to the schemes of the devil. When we become aware of his attacks it helps us to see the powerful authority of Jesus, and our safety within Him. The attacks against us are not often the ones we want to claim. Flat tires, burnt tongues from hot coffee, and accidental auto-corrects are tough to blame Satan for, because in scripture we see him being much more cunning. Instead of just using frustrating inconveniences, he often uses distractions, half-truths, and manipulations through shame in order to bring us down. This is where our strength and ability is often weak, but our Lord who is with us is the strength in our weakness that we can boast in! Paul, coming to the end of his journey to Rome, could have easily been distracted by what were potentially attacks to discourage him. He was shipwrecked, snake bitten, and imprisoned. These struggles would take most of us out today! He also was seen as a god by people who worshipped many false gods. He could have easily bought into the lie for his own glory, as most people would. Instead we see Paul remain focused for the Glory of God. He did this because He understood the ever present truth that God had penned through him in Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Join us for church this weekend at Mitchell Berean as we step into the last chapter of our study though Acts. -Pastor Ben Key Verse - Acts 28:15 (NIV) - "The brothers and sisters there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these people Paul thanked God and was encouraged." For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49424175
