Gospel success is rooted in God's sovereignty. This explains Paul's Gospel success, why he was so faithful to the Gospel, and why God was faithful to produce fruit that continues even today. Just like Paul, as we are anchored in God's sovereignty, we will have the clarity, confidence, conviction and courage in life that will make us an unstoppable force for God's glory and His mission in the world.

Paul addresses the leaders and elders at Ephesus who are responsible for making sure the basics of the faith are the basis of forming Christian community. The basics of the Christian life that form the basis of a Christian community are to live a life of love, truth, tears, trials, and togetherness. Additionally, as believers, we are called to live a life of service, awareness, development and gospel centrality. As Paul continues his journey and sets his sights on reaching Jerusalem, he knows that suffering and trials are ahead of him. No matter what Paul is facing, his life is a living embodiment and example of the presence of King Jesus on planet Earth.

Sermon Synopsis
Paul continues his missionary journeys, and in Acts 19, he is in Ephesus. Paul ministers and shares the Gospel boldly in the synagogue. Some believe, but some become stubborn and reject the message. Paul then goes to lecture and teach so that many throughout Asia, both Jews and Greeks, hear the Word. Paul performed miracles, and many confessed sin and the name of the Lord was greatly honored.

Sermon Synopsis
In Acts 18, Paul continues his missionary journey, and he comes to Corinth, where he connects with Priscilla and Aquila, who are tentmakers like Paul. While in Corinth, Paul preaches the Gospel to Jews and Gentiles and encounters Jewish foes who abuse, arrest and accuse him, but many are saved. God demonstrates His faithfulness and affirms that Paul is to continue preaching and not be afraid.

The Good News is that the Cosmic King, Jesus Christ, has come and, through His death and resurrection, is making all things new. We are called to be broken-hearted over spiritual darkness and depravity and to be bridge-builders in our culture driven by God's love. Like Paul, we are to be both a bright and bold witness, concerning the resurrection of Jesus and how God made a way for human beings to repent, be forgiven and be reconciled to God through His Son, King Jesus.

Sermon SynopsisBecause of Jesus' death on the cross, His successes, His victories, and HIs wins meant that some powerful people in His time suffered losses and experienced misery. These people were jealous and were incited to instigate a mess. Today, as God works, the church will see Gospel success, Gospel victories, and Gospel wins. Such successes will infringe upon the unhealthy jealousy and zeal of idolatrous people, and as these people experience loss, they'll become miserable and seek to create a mess to win back the control they have lost. Therefore it is important that today, as believers, we hold fast and firmly to what we believe.

Sermon Synopsis
When Paul was in Philippi and was annoyed at the demon-possessed slave girl who was calling out after him for many days, Paul showed that in times of harassment, there is a choice of being AGGRAVATED OR AUTHORITATIVE. Later when Paul and Silas were thrown in prison, they demonstrated that in the darkest of times, there is a choice of WHINING OR WORSHIPPING.

All of us need to take lessons. We learn lessons when we are interested in the topic at hand, or when we love the area the lesson is about. The four lessons of mission we learn from Paul in Acts 16 are contextualization, vision, evangelism and suffering. These four lessons will enhance our understanding and make us more effective at mission.

As we learn from Paul and Barnabas, sometimes leaders can't work together, and they need to go their separate ways. Sometimes, God prompts leaders to split over sharp disagreements about strategy that multiplies mission efforts. Sometimes, God allows for disappointments that develop us for later duties. Leaders with differing viewpoints can both be right, and their rightness can cause a rift in the partnership and could cause a multiplication of ministry and mission.
