Credentials and Calling

Oct 5, 2025    Jessica Schultz

Preaching from Acts 22, Pastor Jessica Schultz unpacks Paul’s testimony before the crowd, showing how his credentials, heritage, and zeal could not grant him access to true purpose—only an encounter with Jesus could. She draws a vivid parallel between modern credentials like passports, licenses, and ministry titles and Paul’s own Roman citizenship and Jewish lineage, emphasizing that none of these define who we are in Christ. Through humor, personal stories, and bold exhortation, Jessica reminds the church that conversion is not the finish line—it’s the beginning of our commission. She calls believers to submit their gifts, culture, and background to the lordship of Jesus, allowing Him to transform identity into assignment. The message closes with a prophetic challenge to the church to embrace transition, resist the lies of disqualification, and walk in divine authority as citizens of heaven.
