Here be Dragons: Faith at the Edge of the World

Ancient maps warned travelers at the edges of the known world with a simple phrase: here be dragons. It was a way of naming fear, uncertainty, and everything no one could control. This New Year’s message invites you to stand at the edge of your own map and consider what lies beyond what feels safe.Drawing from Acts 20–28, this episode traces the final movements of Paul’s life and the unfinished ending of the book of Acts. The story closes with a single word that reframes danger, obedience, and the unknown.As a new year begins, this sermon asks a quiet but unsettling question. What territory have you avoided naming as too risky to enter? And what might faith look like when the future remains uncharted?Scripture focus: Acts 20:22–23; Acts 21:11–13; Acts 28:30–31; Hebrews 11:8Links: www. sanberto.com/linksSlides: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/yhby0luwb20k1adc7bpvb/Here-be-Dragons.pdf?rlkey=frhgctgyb7dfnfg885wkdtp6q&st=fb36swsu&dl=0Accompanying Essay: https://www.sanberto.com/single-post/here-be-dragonsDonate: www.buymeacoffee.com/sanberto
