111 | Has the Gospel Actually Changed Your Heart?

In this episode, Pastor David Maestas unpacks the final chapter of Acts, where Paul's journey takes him to the island of Malta after surviving a shipwreck. Despite facing a venomous snake bite, Paul's faith remains steadfast, leading the islanders to recognize God's power at work in him. From there, Paul continues his mission in Rome, where he boldly shares the gospel while under house arrest. Pastor David challenges us to consider the spiritual deafness Paul encountered—people who heard the gospel but refused to let it change their hearts. Through Paul's perseverance, we see the importance of living out our faith with boldness and grace, even in the face of resistance. This chapter reminds us that the gospel message continues to move forward, regardless of obstacles, and invites us to reflect on whether we are truly listening to what God is saying in our own lives.
