The World Changer
from South Union Sermons · host Pastor Chad Thompson
Bottom line: By sharing the gospel message we can still see Jesus turn the world upside down. In Acts 17, Paul and Silas (second missionary journey – fulfilling the commission that Jesus gave in Mk 16) enter the city of Thessalonica and begin preaching the gospel of Christ, i.e. fulfilling the mission that the Mission Giver gave. In just three weeks, something incredible happens: lives are changed, hearts are stirred, false gods are abandoned, religious people find true freedom, sinners are saved, an entire city impacted. The unbelieving Jews make this accusation: “These that have turned the world upside down are come here also.” What a statement. But let's be clear. While the Thessalonians were giving the credit for turning the city of Thessalonica upside down, the reality is it was Jesus – the World Changer – who was turning their world right side up.
