To The Ends of the Earth: Standing Tall, Part 2
Acts 26:1-32
How do we Stand Tall as witnesses for Christ in a hostile world?
1. Be RESPECTFUL. (vv. 1-3)
2. RELAY your story. (vv. 4-18)
3. Make the RESURRECTION and the call to REPENTANCE central. (vv. 19-23)
4. RELY on God’s help. (v. 22)
5. Prepare yourself for REJECTION and RIDICULE. (vv. 24-26)
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.” John 15:18 (NIV)
6. Ask for a RESPONSE. (vv. 27-28)
Just being NICE won’t lead others to CHRIST.
7. Pray RELENTLESSLY. (v. 29)
"Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes…” 2 Thessalonians 3:1 (NLT)
Takeaway: R you ready?
"It is doubtful that you will ever be summoned to stand before kings and queens or be invited to address the political elite or high-ranking military officers; but you will have your own opportunities to stand and deliver. As you determine in your heart to stand tall, God will lay those opportunities before you when you least expect it. You can count on it. When He does, will you be ready?” - Charles Swindoll
