Sunday Worship: “He Went Back.” (Acts 14:21-28)
They stoned him. They dragged him out of the city. They left him for dead. The next morning, Paul got up and walked back into the same town that did it.
This Sunday we continue our verse-by-verse series through the book of Acts, “The Acts of the Risen Lord,” with Acts 14:21-28. Paul and Barnabas finish the first missionary journey by going back through Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, the three cities that ran them out, to strengthen brand-new believers, tell them the truth about the road ahead, and appoint elders in every church. Then they go home and report, not what they did, but what God did.
Pastor Jim Peck will walk through the passage in three movements:
- He Went Back (vv. 21-23)
- He Went Home (vv. 24-26)
- He Went on Record (vv. 27-28)
Along the way we will meet Ernest Shackleton, 22 men stranded on a beach at the bottom of the world, and the borrowed tugboat that went back for them. And we will ask a hard question: who is watching to see whether you will come back?
What to Expect
Worship is about an hour, with a mix of traditional and modern hymns, Scripture, prayer, and expository preaching straight from the text. Dress is casual. Children are welcome in the service. Use the rear entrance; parking is behind the building.
