Main Point: God will get you there.
Connect with us to go, trust God to get you there.
Today is a combination of the past few weeks and passages we have studied.
Really, it’s the continuation of a larger story, and the completion of it.
Think about Luke’s gospel, it goes from Nazareth to Jerusalem.
In Acts, he goes from Jerusalem to Rome.
In Luke 2, Jesus is born.
In Acts 2, His church is born.
We are going to see that God is sovereign and faithful.
We are going to see that God has a plan for Paul in front of Caesar.
And, we are going to see Paul fulfill that plan by transforming the minds and hearts of centurions, Romans, and prisoners.
In essence, we are going to see an unstoppable God, with an unstoppable plan, working through an unstoppable church.
We have an unstoppable God with an unstoppable plan using an unstoppable Church.
Everyone is looking for a purpose.
God is giving you a purpose plus a plan.
A purpose without a plan is disappointing.
A plan with a purpose is disappointing.
A purpose with a plan is fulfilling.
God is giving Paul a purpose (to preach the gospel) and a plan (to go to Rome) and God gets him there.
What it meant to them:
God has a purpose for you.
Who gets to define your purpose?
Have you given your purpose over to God?
God has a plan for you.
If Paul’s purpose is to preach in Rome, then the plan is through a few difficult situations: shipwrecked, threatened by the soldiers, and bitten by snake.
But...
God will get you there.
Do you believe this for your own life?
Now, was this the story of Paul getting to Rome, or God transforming a centurion named Julius?
Julius listened to the captain.
Julius listened to Paul.
Kept the soldiers and prisoners on board.
Kept the soldiers from killing the prisoners.
Main Point: God will get you there.
Whether there is heaven or earth, God’s always working.
From Jesus born in Nazareth and going to Jerusalem to the early church born in Jerusalem and going to Rome, God is with us.
From the centurion overseeing Jesus death praising Him as the Son of God, to Julius protecting the progress of the early church.
You never know how God will get you there, but you can trust that He will.
Gospel Response:
When you don’t know where to go, pray that God will give you guidance.
When you aren’t there yet, pray that God will get you through.
When you are there, fulfill the plan.
Lead people to Jesus.
Love God and people.
And, live a faithful life.
And, if you find yourself at the end of God’s plan for your life, give thanks that God’s plan for you is beyond this earth.
He made a way for you.
Or, as Paul would say:
Where is there for you?
Will you go with us?
