Divine Appointments

Preaching from Acts 25, Pastor Art Snow teaches on the theme of divine appointments through Paul’s trial before Festus and King Agrippa. Though Paul could have chosen the easier path by standing trial in Jerusalem, he instead appealed to Caesar, embracing the hard road to Rome—the road God had already appointed for him. Art reveals how God uses every encounter, delay, and difficulty to position us for His purposes, encouraging believers to recognize that no meeting or moment is accidental once we belong to Christ. Using vivid historical and archaeological context from Caesarea and personal stories about daily “divine appointments,” he challenges the church to live attentively, seeing interruptions and inconveniences as invitations from God. The message concludes with communion and a reminder that even the table of the Lord is a divine appointment where heaven meets earth.
