Lessons Along The Way

Discipleship isn't meant to happen only in controlled, comfortable environments, it happens in the everyday flow of life.In this sermon on Acts 16:1–15, Lead Pastor Neil McClendon launches into Acts 16 to examine "lessons along the way." Pastor Neil breaks down three critical truths displayed in the missionary journey of Paul, Silas, and Timothy: how our hardships are often meant for the benefit of others, why God leads through closed doors as well as open ones, and how genuine faith transforms the way we view our family and material possessions through the story of Lydia.In this episode, we cover:Hardship for Others' Benefit: Why our personal struggles and suffering are often meant to demonstrate the gospel to those watching us.Divine Guidance Through Closed Doors: Understanding why God shuts certain doors to position us exactly where we need to be.The Calling of Lydia: Examining the conversion of a successful businesswoman and what her story reveals about true biblical faith.Corporate Faith & Family: Viewing the household through a gospel lens rather than modern radical individualism.Hospitality vs. Entertaining: How true faith alters our relationship with our homes and possessions to serve others.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
