Intersections
Acts
8:26-35
Faithfully
keeping your heart and mind focused on God brings you to intersections; the
points of connection that God initiates for you to take action, with the
purpose of leading you to your destiny and affecting others along the way.
I. God’s Initiative Works by Sending One Who Knows Him to Cross Paths With One Who Needs Him.
·
God
takes the initiative in Philip’s life by sending him to a desert
place to meet a man who would be in need of the gospel.
·
Never
underestimate what God can do when you are in a desert place.
·
God
not only sent Phillip, but also prepared the man he would meet in
the desert.
·
If
God has brought you to a place of being perplexed and frustrated with what you
do not understand, it may be so that you will be ready to learn
from someone who can show you the truth.
II. Man’s Action is to Proclaim the Gospel.
·
The
Atoning Death of Jesus
·
The
Resurrection Life of Jesus
·
The
Gracious Invitation of Jesus
·
The
fact that God takes the initiative is our greatest motive for preaching
the gospel.
