The Life of Paul Week 11
In this sermon, Pastor Jordan continues a series on the life of Paul by walking through Acts 13, where Paul preaches in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch. Paul traces Israel's history from Abraham through King David, showing that every step of that journey was part of God's intentional plan, always pointing toward Jesus as the promised Messiah. Pastor Jordan highlights how the very people who had read, prayed for, and longed for the Savior for over a thousand years still missed and rejected Him, and draws a parallel to how we today can miss God's answered prayers when they don't look the way we expected.
The sermon builds to the gospel message found in Acts 13:38-39, where Paul declares that through Jesus, forgiveness of sins and justification are available to all who believe. Pastor Jordan emphasizes the weight of the word "justification," meaning to be declared legally not guilty before God. He closes with a sobering reminder that every knee will one day bow to Jesus, and the only question is whether that happens now through faith and worship or later through judgment. The invitation is clear: surrender to Christ as Lord and Savior while there is still time to do so freely.
