Lessons from Paul’s Farewell Journey

Preaching from Acts 21, Pastor Sharon Snow draws lessons from Paul’s farewell journey to Jerusalem. Though warned repeatedly of suffering and death ahead, Paul embraced God’s plan with readiness and courage. Sharon challenges believers to surrender their own plans, accept the blessings and hardships included in their stories, and trust God’s sovereignty even in mystery. She warns against believing cultural hype and social media narratives that distort truth, pointing to how false reports once stirred mobs against Paul. The message emphasizes becoming grounded in God’s Word until it becomes spiritual “muscle memory,” equipping us to stand firm in faith, resist compromise, and discern truth in a deceived age. Sharon closes by urging the church to remain lifelong learners, immersed in Scripture, so that every detail of life can be used by God for His purposes.
