World Changers, Week 5: Living A Life That Reaches The 35,000
Acts 17:1-15
To Impact the People Around Us, We Must Develop A Lifestyle of Being Spiritually Prepared, Committed, and Disciplined, so We Can Boldly and Wisely Share the Gospel Everywhere God Places Us
Point 1: Be Prepared – Know The Word And How To Use It. (Acts 17:2-3)
Paul Didn’t Wing It, He was Prepared. He Knew the Scriptures and Used Them to Engage Minds and Hearts
Why It Matters: In A Culture Full Of Ideas, Being Prepared with Biblical Truth Gives You Clarity And Confidence
Application: Preparation Equals Being Ready to Answer the Call
Point 2: Be Committed – Stay The Course Even When You Face Resistance. (Acts 17:5-10)
Opposition Came Quickly, but Paul Didn’t Retreat. He Stayed Committed To The Mission. Even Jason, a Local Believer, Paid a Price for Opening His Home to The Gospel Movement.
Why It Matters: Gospel Impact Will Cost You Something: Comfort, Approval, or Even Your Reputation.
Application: Are You Committed to Loving And Reaching Your Neighbors Even When It’s Uncomfortable Or Unpopular?
Point 3: Be Disciplined – Keep Growing And Going (Acts 17:10-15)
Paul Didn’t Treat Berea Like A Break; He Kept Preaching And Discipling.
Why It Matters: Discipline Deepens Both Your Walk and Your Witness. It Sustains Impact!
Application: Are You Consistently Seeking Truth And Sharing It? Discipline Builds Strength For Long Term Influence
Conclusion: God Placed Our Church In A Field Of 35,000 People Not By Accident, But For Impact.
To Reach Them, You Don’t Need A Platform Or A Great Event – You Need A Prepared Mind, Committed Heart, And A Disciplined Life.
Paul Modeled These Things In Thessalonica And Berea. Different Engaging Points, Same Gospel.
Challenge For The Week:
Prepare - Spend Intentional Time In The Word- Know It, Meditate On It, And Share It.
Commit - Identify One Area In Your Life Where You’re Tempted To Retreat – And Press In
Discipline - Set A Rhythm This Week To Grow (Study, Pray, Share) Even When Life Gets Busy. MAKE THE TIME
