Our world is filled with “gospel” messages about where our hope lies, where history is going, and what happens after death. Christianity answers all of these questions with the good news of God’s Kingdom and Jesus love shown by his death and resurrection. But how do we share this good news with our friends and family? For many of us, this seems too difficult to try.

In this series, we are looking to the example of the Apostle Paul. We will see how the gospel conversations he has in the book of Acts can help us have similar kinds of conversations today.

This series is being paired with The Witness Practice meetings happening on Monday nights. We hope you will join us for both!

Paul’s first recorded presentation of the good news in Acts is to a group of Jews and non-Jews worshipping in a synagogue. In this first sermon in our series, we are laying the groundwork for this series and exploring how Paul communicates the good news to people who are already seeking God in some way.

The Gospel in Lystra (Acts 14:8-20)

In the city of Lystra, Paul’s witness to the life of Jesus is not just with words, but with an act of compassion.  In this week’s sermon, we see how Paul communicates the good news in a context that has no knowledge of Jesus or of the God of the Scriptures.
