01. The World Turned Upside Down Pt. 3 // The Strategy - Tobi Ford-Western // Acts 17:1-15

In this message from Acts 17, we explore Paul’s “missional masterclass” as he proclaims Jesus in Thessalonica and Berea, facing both revival and fierce opposition. This preach reminds us that every Christian is a missionary - whether called to go or to stay - sent by God to reach their city with the gospel. Through the example of the noble Bereans, we’re challenged to value biblical truth over personality and hype, and through Paul’s persecution, we’re reminded that spiritual pushback is real when God’s kingdom advances. Ultimately, the sermon points to Jesus - the greatest missionary of all - who came from heaven to earth, endured the cross, and rose again so we could have peace with God.
