This sermon explores Paul and Barnabas's missionary journey to Lystra as recorded in Acts 14, emphasizing the proper response to God's miraculous works and the importance of directing all glory to God alone. The message centers on being a Spirit-empowered, missions-minded community that proclaims the gospel with boldness. Pastor Stephen examines how miracles serve as arrows pointing to Jesus and the greater miracle of salvation. He challenges believers to maintain humility in ministry, remembering that Christians are called to "make much of Jesus, die and be forgotten" rather than seeking personal recognition. The sermon emphasizes that while we serve people, Jesus alone is our Master, and all ministry must ultimately exalt Christ.
