Sermon Title: Let's Trust and Testify, Start to Finish

Sermon Text: Acts 14:24-28

Preparation Question: What has/is God calling you to do in and through the local church?

Three lessons from the conclusion of Paul and Barnabas' first missionary journey:

1. We cannot effectively work for Jesus unless we are resting in His grace.

2. Obedience can only be claimed when the task is complete.

3. What we do for God is nothing compared to what He has done and is doing for us...So, let's tell everyone how Good God is.

Response Questions
1. Why is our effort for Jesus so dependent on the grace of Jesus?
2. If God is sovereign and able to do anything without us, why is it still vital that we do our part in Christian ministry?
3. What are the implications and intentions of Jesus' words in Luke 14:25-35, and how does Jesus' teaching there connect to what is going on in Acts 14:24-28?
4. What and who will you testify to this week?
