Keys to Our Successful Mission: Acts 18:1-11

Series: "Operation Liberty: Gospel Mission" Preached at Growing Faith Church, Liberty, NC June 29, 2025 In Acts 18, Paul's journey in Corinth reveals five essential keys to successful ministry that apply to our mission today. These include accepting that ministry is challenging, making God-ordained connections, preparing for emotional highs and lows, advancing ministry outside church walls, and staying focused on the objective. Paul's experience teaches us that we don't need to rely on our own strength but on the gospel's power. Jesus has people in our communities who already belong to Him, and our role is simply to make the introductions by sharing our faith and extending invitations. 1. Accept that the Mission is Hard. (v. 1) 2. Make God-ordained Connections (vv. 2-4) 3. Be Prepared for Highs and Lows (vv. 5-6) 4. Advance Outside the Church (vv. 7-8) 5. Keep Focused on the Objective (vv. 9-11)
