The Gospel and Courage
Our passage comes from Acts 22 where Paul is facing a hostile audience and one life-threatening situation after another. In a way, there’s one overall theme, which is God can bring good out of evil and can show the power of the gospel through it.
We will all inevitably face some kind of danger in life. How will you face it? How does your faith prepare you for it? We’re going to look at courage in this passage and we’ll try to find some clues as to how we can get the same kind of courage that Paul has.
This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 26, 2013. Series "Acts: The Gospel in the City". Scripture: Acts 22:1-22.
