About this Episode

Three Scenes, but Only One Answer | The Gospel, The Kingdom, The World

In this episode, we explore Acts 16 and three encounters where the gospel changed lives. From a respected business leader to a demon-oppressed slave girl and a hardened jailer, each person experiences the same transforming truth: salvation through Jesus. This message challenges us to live gospel-first and to see every encounter as an opportunity to point someone to Christ.

Key Insights:

  • A genuine encounter with Jesus always results in a changed life—seen through actions, attitude, and affection.
  • No one is too rich, too broken, or too hardened to be reached by the gospel.
  • Living a gospel-first life means choosing obedience over comfort, even when it costs you.
  • You don’t need a title or platform to share Jesus. Every believer has a role to play in God's mission.
  • Belief in Jesus means full surrender—not just knowledge or admiration but giving Him your entire life.
