May 24, 2026 Direct But Hopeful Words About Our Tribulations – Acts 14:22 – May 24, 2026
Paul and Barnabas have great concern for the disciples recently converted to Christ. They know that these followers of Jesus will face regular and
varied trials, temptations, and tribulations throughout their time on earth. To ensure that the disciples are not surprised or deterred in the faith, Paul and Barnabas give them the direct message that tribulations will come, and the hope-filled promise that they will enter the kingdom of God. May the Lord strengthen our hearts today with these words.

One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God’s grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.
