This sermon explores the missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas in Acts 14:1-7, emphasizing the importance of Spirit-dependent speech in sharing the gospel. The message highlights how effective gospel proclamation requires reliance on the Holy Spirit's power rather than human eloquence or wisdom. The sermon addresses the reality that the gospel brings division—even within families and communities—while encouraging believers to recognize that signs and wonders still follow when God's hand is upon ministry. The ultimate call is for Christians to live as "people of the Spirit," understanding that every aspect of life is ministry and that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to share Christ boldly in everyday situations. The message concludes with an urgent reminder that Christ's return is imminent, motivating believers to share the gospel with dependence on the Holy Spirit.
