Go - The Tenacious Traveler (9:45 Contemporary)

Chapelwood Road Trip - Go: The Tenacious Traveler: Sometimes we feel as if we’re struggling to get where we’re going. It’s as if something or someone is standing in our way (and it’s usually us). Life has a way of throwing us curve balls, but God has a plan for each of us. And at some point, we all have to decide that nothing is going to keep us from living out God’s plan. In Acts 8:26-40 we read the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch. And it is the complete and ready obedience of Philip that brings the gospel to one unlikely person – A gentile eunuch, who the Jewish religious establishment would have excluded from the faith community. Yet God is often up to something we cannot see – his thoughts are not our thoughts; and our ways are not his ways. When Philip the Tenacious Traveler shares the Truth with an entitled outcast, he witnesses the Spirit’s tenacity come alive in the Eunuch as well, who asks with admirable credulity and conviction, “What is to prevent me from being baptized?” Nothing – once we follow the Spirit’s call and live into the conviction that nothing is going to stand in our way.
