  This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
• 0:08
  Wofford, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland,
• 0:12
  County of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
• 0:16
  continues teaching through God's Word.
• 0:37
  I'm gonna say why? I thought you were a believer.
• 0:38
  Why are you acting that way? I thought Christians were
• 0:40
  different. Well, many times Christians
• 0:42
  aren't different. We're just like everybody else,
• 0:45
  right? Unless our eyes are on the Lord.
• 0:47
  If our eyes are on him, then we're going to be OK.
• 0:50
  The NLT says, I love this. I know the Lord is always with
• 0:54
  me. Do you know the Lord is always
• 0:56
  with you? Sometimes we forget.
• 0:59
  Sometimes we don't feel him. We don't sense him, but he's
• 1:01
  always with us. I will not be shaken, for he is
• 1:06
  right beside me. Everyone has struggles in life,
• 1:10
  no exceptions. It doesn't matter who you are,
• 1:13
  where you're from, whether you're rich, poor, tall,
• 1:15
  shorter, or whatever other distinction you might have to
• 1:18
  claim to. Everybody has good days and bad.
• 1:21
  Everybody goes through storms. In today's teaching, Pastor
• 1:25
  Clark lets you know that even Christians struggle with things.
• 1:28
  Yes, that's right. Being a Christian doesn't make
• 1:31
  you immune to difficulty. But do you know what makes all
• 1:34
  the difference? The Lord is with you now.
• 1:38
  Here's Pastor Clark in the book of Acts Chapter 20 with today's
• 1:41
  edition of Living Waters of Grace.
• 1:44
  Everyone needs to hear the importance of needing to repent
• 1:49
  of their sin, and repentance means changing your mind.
• 1:53
  You're used to going this way, which is a way toward hell.
• 1:56
  The highway to hell, the road that leads to destruction is
• 2:00
  broad, and many are those on that road heading toward the
• 2:04
  Cliff where they'll eventually end up in hell.
• 2:07
  Repentance is I'm not wanting to go there.
• 2:10
  I got to stop this behavior. I need a savior.
• 2:14
  I need someone to help me, not do what I keep doing over and
• 2:18
  over and over again. I need a new life.
• 2:20
  I need a change. I need a fresh start, and that's
• 2:23
  repentance. Then you're turning to the road
• 2:26
  that's narrow. The Bible says it leads to life
• 2:30
  and few there are that find that road.
• 2:33
  Most people are on the road, the broad road to destruction.
• 2:37
  There's less people on the narrow Rd. that leads to life.
• 2:41
  So Paul knew the importance is any pastor or teacher or
• 2:46
  Christian should know. We need to let people know they
• 2:49
  need to repent. Amen.
• 2:53
  They need to get right with God today, not tomorrow, not next
• 2:59
  week. Paul also said today is a day of
• 3:02
  salvation. If you hear his voice, his
• 3:05
  Spirit speak in your heart, this is the time when you say, Lord,
• 3:08
  you're right, you got me. I know I need you now.
• 3:11
  I know I'm a Sinner. Lord, forgive me.
• 3:15
  Come into my life and save me for my sin and get me on this
• 3:20
  path that leads to life, repentance toward God.
• 3:27
  I've offended God of sinned against God and now my faith
• 3:32
  needs to be in what Jesus Christ has done for me.
• 3:36
  For Christ took your sin and my sin upon himself upon the cross,
• 3:42
  and he took the punishment for my sin and your sin so that I
• 3:46
  don't have to take it and you don't have to take it.
• 3:50
  And he shed his blood. He died for us and he said he's
• 3:55
  forgiven us of all our sin and all our unrighteousness.
• 3:58
  It's the it's the best news anybody could ever have.
• 4:03
  When we were at the movie theater and I was working with a
• 4:05
  big fella from he was from Saint Vincent.
• 4:09
  He was a football player. He graduated, wants to go into
• 4:12
  law. And he was wondering like what's
• 4:14
  this movie about and why these people come in here?
• 4:16
  And I was helping him with the tickets because there was 2
• 4:18
  theaters. There was one.
• 4:20
  People bought Pandora, not Pandora.
• 4:22
  But what's that? What is it called?
• 4:25
  Fandango. Yeah.
• 4:27
  And there was something like that.
• 4:28
  But anyway, he's a good song. Fandango here.
• 4:30
  Check that out. But anyway, so, you know, I'm
• 4:34
  helping them and, and so, well, these people, you know, they got
• 4:36
  tickets from Calvary, so they go to this theater and the other
• 4:38
  one. And so as we were talking, I, I
• 4:41
  was telling him about the movie. I said he had to come in and
• 4:43
  check it out if you have some time.
• 4:45
  He said what I'd really like to. He says I need, I need to get
• 4:47
  back to God. He says, I've, I've gone to mass
• 4:50
  a couple times up at the Seton Hill, but you know, just not
• 4:52
  connecting or whatever. And, and I said, well, we're
• 4:55
  going to come here. We've invited him here.
• 4:56
  I was hoping he'd be here today, but this pray for this brother.
• 5:00
  And you know, he said, well, I've, I've done too many bad
• 5:03
  things in my life and I've really messed up and, and you
• 5:06
  know, God's not going to want me.
• 5:08
  I said that's the point. God wants you.
• 5:10
  That's why he came. He came to die for people like
• 5:13
  you and me that have messed up. We've all messed up.
• 5:16
  And he will forgive you and there's no guilt.
• 5:20
  He takes your guilt away and he takes your sin away and he gives
• 5:23
  you a new conscience, a heart that's pure and a life that's
• 5:28
  changed and transformed. And his eyes got real big.
• 5:31
  And he says, was that? Is that really true?
• 5:33
  I said, yes, it's true. That's what that movie is all
• 5:36
  about. That's what the Jesus Revolution
• 5:38
  is about. And Jesus Revolution started at
• 5:40
  Pentecost, didn't it? And it continues until Christ
• 5:43
  comes back again. And it's done through the
• 5:46
  preaching of the gospel. And so all humility, Paul's
• 5:52
  telling them this is what you do.
• 5:56
  You testify, you give your testimony, and then you tell
• 6:00
  people about their need to repent toward God and then to
• 6:04
  put their faith in Jesus Christ. Whosoever shall call upon the
• 6:08
  name of the Lord shall be saved. And then he said in verse 22,
• 6:12
  and see now I go bound in the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing
• 6:16
  the things that will happen to me there, except that the Holy
• 6:19
  Spirit testifies in every city saying the chains and
• 6:23
  tribulations await me. So he's heading to Jerusalem.
• 6:26
  He's being warned by people and by the Holy Spirit that there's
• 6:30
  going to be problems for him when he gets there.
• 6:32
  Believe it's Agabus, a prophet that warned him that he the belt
• 6:37
  that he wore was going to be representative of the bondage
• 6:40
  that he would be put in and change when he gets to Jerusalem
• 6:43
  and they were begging him not to go there.
• 6:46
  This is this is Paul right and he understands what what he's
• 6:50
  facing. But he says none of these things
• 6:52
  move me nor do I count my life dear to myself so that I may
• 6:57
  finish my race with joy and the ministry which I received from
• 7:01
  the Lord Jesus to testify to the gospel, the grace of God.
• 7:05
  What a brother and the Lord. I mean, if I knew personally
• 7:11
  today that there was a place that I'm being warned not to go
• 7:14
  because if I go there, I'm going to have a lot of problems, my
• 7:18
  first thought was I'm not going there.
• 7:21
  I'm not going to go there. But the Holy Spirit override at
• 7:24
  Paul's personal opinion, I'm sure worked in his heart, gave
• 7:28
  him grace. Don't worry about it, Paul.
• 7:30
  I'm going to use you there. And it was many years later
• 7:33
  actually, when he actually did get martyred.
• 7:36
  So this wasn't happening tomorrow, next week, but it was
• 7:38
  an eventual thing he would definitely experience.
• 7:42
  But he said he didn't count his life dear to himself.
• 7:45
  He was living for one purpose and the only purpose he wanted
• 7:48
  to be alive is that he might serve the Lord and and do the
• 7:53
  ministry. And he said none of these things
• 7:55
  move me. Wouldn't you like to be in a
• 7:57
  place with God that no matter what happened in your life today
• 8:00
  or tomorrow or next week, it's not freaking you out?
• 8:04
  You just be calm and cool and collective.
• 8:06
  We're not normally that way, are we?
• 8:08
  We're freaking out. You don't believe what's
• 8:11
  happening to me or this is going on or that's going on and this
• 8:14
  isn't right and this isn't fair and you know, and we're all
• 8:17
  worked up. But Paul had such peace by the
• 8:20
  Holy Spirit's power. He said none of these things
• 8:22
  move him. And the psalmist says in Psalm
• 8:26
  168I have set the Lord always before me because he is at my
• 8:31
  right hand. I shall not be moved.
• 8:35
  I'm sure Paul memorized that verse.
• 8:37
  He probably had it deep inside his heart and his conscience.
• 8:40
  We need that kind of focus, having the Lord always before
• 8:44
  us, no matter what, because he's at our right hand and we won't
• 8:48
  be moved. That's King James, NIV says.
• 8:51
  I keep my eyes always on the Lord, with Him on my right hand,
• 8:57
  I will not be shaken. When your eyes are on the Lord,
• 9:00
  you're not freaking out, you're not shook up, you're not
• 9:03
  hopeless, you're not overwhelmed.
• 9:05
  But I guarantee you, because I know when my eyes are off Jesus,
• 9:09
  I am a mess. I'm whining, I'm complaining,
• 9:14
  I'm feeling sorry for myself. I'm whatever, you know, emotion
• 9:18
  you can get is a human being, a sinful human being.
• 9:22
  My, my head needs, my eyes need to be on the Lord.
• 9:25
  That's not like on Sunday or when I'm preaching or when I'm
• 9:29
  teaching or when I'm being a dad or a grandfather, all these
• 9:33
  different roles. You wear your son, son-in-law,
• 9:36
  brother, uncle, you know, all these hats you guys all wear.
• 9:40
  Every circumstance, every situation that we enter into our
• 9:44
  lives, My eyes need to be on him because if they're not, I'm not
• 9:47
  going to be effective for the Lord.
• 9:51
  I'm going to be a bad example. I'm going to say, well, I
• 9:55
  thought you were a believer, why are you acting that way?
• 9:57
  I thought Christians were different.
• 9:58
  Well, many times Christians aren't different.
• 10:01
  We're just like everybody else, right?
• 10:03
  Unless our eyes are on the Lord, if our eyes are on him, then
• 10:07
  we're going to be OK. The NLT says, I love this, I
• 10:10
  know the Lord is always with me. Do you know the Lord is always
• 10:13
  with you? Sometimes we forget, sometimes
• 10:16
  we don't feel him, we don't sense him, but he's always with
• 10:20
  us. I will not be shaken, for he is
• 10:23
  right beside me. And more than that, he dwells
• 10:26
  within us and he promises us he will never leave us or forsake
• 10:31
  us, no matter what we feel or what we think in our minds.
• 10:35
  And so Paul was able to be stable and not freaking out.
• 10:41
  And he, he always wanted to testify the gospel, the grace of
• 10:44
  God, the grace of God. I want to have more grace in my
• 10:47
  life. You want to have more grace in
• 10:49
  your life. Grace is what enables you to
• 10:51
  live a different life. Grace is what enables you to be
• 10:55
  forgiving and not hating and judging.
• 10:59
  Grace is what enables you to love God in a deeper way than
• 11:03
  you've ever loved him before. Grace is what enables you to
• 11:07
  turn from your sin and be saved. Grace is what gives you the
• 11:11
  ability to to love your wife as Christ loves the church.
• 11:15
  Grace enables the kids to follow the leading of their parents and
• 11:19
  not rebelling. You know, grace is what gives us
• 11:22
  the ability to live in a world that's in chaos right now and
• 11:26
  still know that the Lord's on the throne.
• 11:29
  Verse 25 And indeed, now I know that you all among whom I've
• 11:33
  gone preaching the Kingdom of God will see my face no more.
• 11:37
  That's a sad comment. They're not going to see him
• 11:40
  again. Therefore, I testify to you this
• 11:43
  day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
• 11:46
  What does he mean by that? He says, for I have not shunned
• 11:50
  to declare to you the whole counsel of God.
• 11:54
  Lewis and I will stand before the Lord one day and he will
• 11:59
  deal with us based upon this verse.
• 12:05
  Have we ever prevented you from hearing the whole truth and
• 12:11
  nothing but the truth? So help us God, the whole
• 12:14
  counsel of God from Genesis to Revelation.
• 12:18
  That's what God requires of a shepherd to teach, to feed the
• 12:23
  flock of God and to protect them from things that aren't in the
• 12:28
  Bible and aren't biblical. That's a serious responsibility.
• 12:33
  Matter of fact, it says we'll be judged with a stricter judgment.
• 12:37
  Won't we, pastor? When we stand before the Lord,
• 12:41
  then we do what it is that He told us to do.
• 12:43
  And this is what Paul's telling the elders that he has done, and
• 12:47
  he's expecting them to follow suit and do the same thing.
• 12:52
  I've not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God,
• 12:55
  Genesis to Revelation. Therefore, take heed to
• 12:59
  yourselves. Look at our own hearts.
• 13:02
  How are we doing? What are we doing?
• 13:04
  And to all the flock among which the Holy Spirit has made you
• 13:08
  overseers, to shepherd the Church of God, which He
• 13:11
  purchased with His own blood. We love you guys, we care about
• 13:15
  you. We want you guys to know the
• 13:18
  truth, to walk in the truth, to walk in the light.
• 13:23
  And we're looking at our own heart as well.
• 13:27
  And we're to give oversight, not control, not boss, not
• 13:34
  manipulate, not roll in the sense of like, do what I say
• 13:38
  kind of thing. No, do what the Lord says.
• 13:42
  We're trying to encourage you as we're trying to encourage
• 13:44
  ourselves. Be faithful to the truth of the
• 13:46
  Lord and walk in the truth of the Bible.
• 13:50
  God has made us overseers to shepherd His church.
• 13:54
  It's the Church of God. It's His church, and it's so
• 13:58
  much His church that He purchased it with His own blood.
• 14:02
  He shed His blood for you and for me, for all of us here in
• 14:06
  this church. This is His church.
• 14:09
  And then he says in 29 for I know this, that after my
• 14:12
  departure, savage wolves will come among in among you, not
• 14:16
  sparing the flock. This happened in Corinth.
• 14:18
  No sooner did he leave, leave false teachers are coming in and
• 14:22
  he had to go back and deal with that.
• 14:24
  The people didn't want to hear it.
• 14:26
  I mean, there are so many false teachers out there today on the
• 14:29
  radio and books and Airways and videos and YouTube.
• 14:32
  I mean, I could spend a month just doing a study on false
• 14:36
  teachers, but I'd rather focus on the the truth and the true
• 14:40
  teacher, Jesus Christ and wasting time about false
• 14:43
  teachers. They'll come and go.
• 14:44
  But if any are infecting the church, we will definitely bring
• 14:49
  it up and warn people and talk to people.
• 14:51
  Someone was here about a month ago and they had a book and they
• 14:54
  were talking about demons and curses and sins and generational
• 14:59
  curse and, you know, just a lot of crazy stuff.
• 15:02
  And this guy had this like in the book, this sort of procedure
• 15:07
  of how to rebuke the devil and how to get, you know, and really
• 15:10
  complicated stuff, you know? And I said, well, you know, she
• 15:14
  said, what do you think? I said, well, I, I personally, I
• 15:16
  wouldn't read that book. And I don't think it's biblical.
• 15:19
  And, and #2 I said, why don't you just read chapter 6 of
• 15:24
  Ephesians? For we wrestle not against flesh
• 15:26
  and blood, but against principalities and powers in the
• 15:29
  World of Darkness of this present age.
• 15:32
  Be strong in the Lord in the power of his might tells us in
• 15:36
  the scriptures resists the devil and he'll flee from you and he
• 15:42
  gives all the armament of the symbolism of what it is we wear
• 15:46
  spiritually and have the the sword of truth, the Bible and
• 15:53
  the shield of faith which is able to quench the fiery darts
• 15:56
  of the wicked one. That's the Bible.
• 15:59
  I don't need some book by some guy telling me how to do that
• 16:02
  when it's already in the Word of God, he said.
• 16:08
  Also from among yourselves, men will rise up speaking perverse
• 16:12
  things to draw away disciples after themselves.
• 16:15
  There's been occasions here and it never lasted too long where
• 16:18
  someone came in, they had an agenda and wanted to have a
• 16:20
  Bible study and they wanted to begin to teach stuff that wasn't
• 16:24
  our spiritual DNA, which is the word of God.
• 16:29
  And they had different views. Well, I got this new truth and I
• 16:32
  want to tell people that there really isn't a hell.
• 16:34
  I'll never forget this guy. He's telling me that he was
• 16:36
  going to prove to me that, you know, there is no such thing as
• 16:39
  everlasting punishment. So I took him to Revelation.
• 16:43
  Whosoever was named name not found in the book of life was
• 16:47
  cast in the lake of fire that this literal hell.
• 16:52
  And and then when I showed him that, he says, well, maybe I
• 16:55
  should, you know, you know, look at it differently or something,
• 16:58
  I don't know. But fortunately he left and
• 17:00
  didn't come back. But that was a perverse teaching
• 17:03
  that would come in to draw away disciples after that particular
• 17:07
  persons theories. Therefore watch and remember
• 17:10
  verse 31 that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone
• 17:14
  night and day with tears. Paul was so intense.
• 17:17
  It wasn't like I'll just remind you one time and tell you and
• 17:20
  warn you about some problems here.
• 17:22
  You know, three years, night and day.
• 17:24
  And he was so burdened that he he wept if people weren't
• 17:28
  believing or following or relying upon the truth of the
• 17:32
  word of God. So now brethren, I commend you
• 17:35
  verse 32. This is his blessing to the
• 17:38
  elders. I commend you to God and to the
• 17:41
  word of his grace, which is able to build you up and give you an
• 17:46
  inheritance among all those who are sanctified or set apart.
• 17:51
  So this this beautiful blessing that he's praying on them and
• 17:57
  and encouraging them with is that this word of his grace
• 18:03
  which we're studying every time we gather is able to build you
• 18:07
  up and you experience this inheritance that God has given
• 18:11
  us because we belong to Jesus Christ.
• 18:16
  You'll you'll have this reality of of spiritual health in your
• 18:19
  life. Verse 33 I have coveted no one's
• 18:22
  silver or gold or apparel. Paul wasn't in it for money.
• 18:26
  He wasn't in it for himself. He was in it for the sake of
• 18:29
  others and the glory of God. Yes, you yourselves know that
• 18:33
  these hands have provided for my necessities and for those who
• 18:37
  were with me. I have shown you in every way by
• 18:40
  laboring like this that you must support the weak and remember
• 18:43
  the words of the Lord Jesus that He said it is more blessed to
• 18:47
  give than receive. What a blessing.
• 18:51
  The Lord gives us the opportunity to give unto Him and
• 18:54
  to be a blessing to other people, to help other people and
• 18:58
  have the Holy Spirit speak to you about your resources, how to
• 19:01
  use them for the sake of others and His Kingdom and people that
• 19:05
  you run into in life sometimes that need a helping hand, that
• 19:08
  you use what it is the Lord's entrusted you with secretly and
• 19:13
  privately to help someone who's less fortunate.
• 19:17
  And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed
• 19:22
  with them all. Then they all wept freely and
• 19:26
  fell on Paul's neck and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for
• 19:31
  the words which he spoke. And they would see his face no
• 19:35
  more. And they accompanied him to the
• 19:36
  ship. This had to be very, very
• 19:40
  difficult for them. They loved him, they honored
• 19:44
  him, they needed him. He impacted them greatly and now
• 19:48
  he's moving on and they'll never see him again.
• 19:52
  But he's given them everything they need to have to continue
• 19:55
  the legacy that the Lord had given him.
• 19:58
  And every generation, the Lord raises up new young people.
• 20:01
  I think of the young kids in that room next door.
• 20:03
  They're the future leaders of the church.
• 20:06
  You parents are disciple and your children and teaching them
• 20:09
  to how to walk with the Lord. Because one day Lewis and I
• 20:12
  won't be here and it'll be a whole different group of people
• 20:15
  and a different group of leaders.
• 20:17
  And it's going to come from the Lord continually raising people
• 20:20
  up from one generation to the next to.
• 20:22
  Continually do and teach the things that Paul has taught us
• 20:26
  thus far in the book of the Acts.
• 20:28
  I remember whenever we had our last opportunity to be with
• 20:34
  Pastor Chuck, he was dying of cancer and he met us at Sandy
• 20:38
  Cove at the pastors conference about 12 years ago and he was
• 20:43
  weak. He could tell they had to help
• 20:45
  him get up in the pulpit. And I was thinking, I need to
• 20:48
  pull up the archives and and review what the last things he
• 20:52
  taught us at that time. But I'm sure it was along the
• 20:55
  lines of what Paul is teaching here because Pastor Chuck was
• 20:59
  the kind of guy that gave the ministry away.
• 21:01
  And he loved raising men up and letting them be used in the
• 21:05
  church. And then also men who were
• 21:08
  called to plant churches, he would send them out and help
• 21:11
  them do that, as you saw with Greg in the movie.
• 21:14
  And you know, we we got to get pictures with them and hug them
• 21:18
  and love on them as he loved us. We were like his kids, spiritual
• 21:22
  kids. The Lord used him to raise up
• 21:25
  1700 churches to this day called Calvary Chapel around the world,
• 21:29
  just simply teaching the Bible simply.
• 21:32
  And I had a chance to go up to him at the time.
• 21:34
  And I said, Pastor Chuck, I said, I just want to thank you
• 21:37
  for letting us hook our caboose your locomotive.
• 21:40
  And because there's no way I'd be a pastor today, nor would
• 21:43
  this church be here if it wasn't for his legacy impact.
• 21:49
  And he just smiled at me, says great things God hath wrought.
• 21:54
  Chuck never took any credit for anything.
• 21:56
  He just wanted to see the Lord work.
• 22:00
  And at that time, we didn't have this building at the time, but
• 22:03
  we were making some degree of progress, slow progress, and
• 22:08
  told about the radio station and he got biggest kick out of that.
• 22:12
  We didn't even have it up. Then the low power and then we
• 22:14
  finally got it up. And every day, 8:00 in the
• 22:19
  morning, he comes on after my teaching and I hear him and I
• 22:23
  say, Cindy, thank the Lord for this man's life and how he
• 22:27
  impacted us as a couple and how he's impacted families all over
• 22:31
  the world and continually does to this day.
• 22:34
  And but it was sort of like this thing with Paul and the elders.
• 22:37
  It was us and him because we understood the anointing that
• 22:43
  God had on his life and what how he had impacted us.
• 22:48
  It was funny, you know, when we first became pastors, we didn't
• 22:52
  know how to do weddings. He'd give us videos how to do
• 22:54
  it. We didn't know how to do
• 22:55
  funerals. He'd give us videos how to do
• 22:57
  it. And he did a great teaching and
• 22:59
  acts the Lord how he builds a church, not church growth
• 23:03
  methods and all the hype stuff that people get into.
• 23:05
  But how does the Holy Spirit, you know, grow a church?
• 23:09
  He provided all these resources and of course, to this day, word
• 23:12
  for the day and Blue letter Bible.
• 23:14
  You can go on and find his teachings if you want.
• 23:16
  You can go through the whole Bible if you like with him and
• 23:19
  and many other pastors. So we're grateful for what it is
• 23:23
  that that God has done through Paul's life because Paul
• 23:28
  continually impacts the Church of Jesus Christ to this day.
• 23:33
  We need to pray that men will get back to the Bible and
• 23:36
  churches, that they'll teach the whole council of God so that
• 23:40
  believers can be healthy and know the truth and not be
• 23:44
  confused. There's a famine for the word of
• 23:47
  God right now, so we want to get this out more and more.
• 23:50
  That's the purpose of the radio station.
• 23:51
  What people are going to hear is what you've heard today.
• 23:54
  Amen. Thanks for joining us on this
• 23:58
  journey through Acts. On today's edition of Living
• 24:01
  Waters of Grace, Pastor Clark shares that one of the most
• 24:04
  remarkable things about the book of Acts is how it shows the
• 24:08
  disciples transformation. The followers of Jesus we meet
• 24:12
  here are very different from the often confused and fearful
• 24:17
  disciples in the Gospels. After Jesus's death and
• 24:21
  resurrection, and especially through the power of the Holy
• 24:24
  Spirit, the apostles experienced a profound change in their
• 24:29
  hearts and boldness. Their faith became unwavering,
• 24:33
  and they moved forward with courage to spread the gospel
• 24:36
  despite opposition and hardship. Max reminds us that the same
• 24:41
  Spirit who empowered them is at work in US today, shaping our
• 24:46
  hearts and giving us strength to live boldly for Christ.
