Welcome to the Saturday Bold Faith Community Church's podcast where we bring you the inspiring sermon from Acts 24. In these challenging times, of pandemic and social unrest, it is essential to have lasting encouragement that will help us stay strong and navigate through life's difficulties. Let's dive into this powerful message that reminds us that with God's help, we can make it through anything.

Chapter 24 of Acts tells us the story of Paul appearing before the Roman governor Felix to defend himself against false accusations. Paul, who was already imprisoned multiple times for preaching the gospel, faced another trial that could potentially jeopardize his life. Yet, Paul never lost faith. He remained steadfast and bold in advocating for the truth and preaching the word of God.

The sermon draws our attention to Paul's faith-based approach as a roadmap for hard times. He did not rely on his own strength or abilities, but wholly depended on the Lord for guidance and protection. Paul's example teaches us to persevere through trials, to embrace hardships as opportunities for spiritual growth, and to trust God's sovereignty over our lives.

The pastor emphasized that Paul's faith was not a mere intellectual acknowledgment of God's existence, but a deep, personal relationship with the Lord. Such intimacy with God allows us to confront difficulties with confidence, knowing that we are not alone, and that God is always faithful to His promises.

Furthermore, the sermon highlights that Paul's message was not for himself only but for the people around him. Even when he was facing trials, Paul was still preaching the gospel to the Roman governor and those present at the court. His actions showed that sometimes, our tough times are also an opportunity to share our faith with others.

In conclusion, this podcast brings a message of hope and encouragement to all who are going through hard times. It reminds us that our faith in God should be at the center of our lives and that with Him, we can overcome anything. Let us keep striving to live a life that pleases God, even when we are faced with adversity. Thank you for tuning in, and we look forward to bringing you more inspiring messages in the future.
