00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.060
 As I have moved to D.C. and started working here.

00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:18.940
 This morning we continue our study in the book of Acts, and we're looking at this morning Acts chapter 18.

00:00:20.740 --> 00:00:27.539
 Sarah Zylstra from the Gospel Coalition tells this story of Nima Ali Sada, an Iranian Christian.

00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:57.519
 She writes,

00:00:57.539 --> 00:01:11.239
 In 2018, four Christians were sentenced to 10 years in prison.

00:01:11.979 --> 00:01:21.599
 In this post-revolution context, Nima grew up in a nominal Muslim family trying to practice Islamic ways of worship because at school and in society you're forced to follow Islam.

00:01:21.979 --> 00:01:23.239
 But he knew it wasn't working.

00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.819
 Still, when his uncle became a Christian, it was a massive shock to his whole family.

00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:33.399
 The uncle lived in California, and the next time he came to visit Tehran, Nima asked him about it.

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:39.180
 And he said, I thought Christianity was for Western culture, and Islam was for the Eastern culture.

00:01:39.740 --> 00:01:40.820
 Why did you change your religion?

00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:46.420
 So his uncle explained the good news about Jesus, which wasn't the way that Nima had heard about it in school.

00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:50.500
 And Nima said, Right then, I believed everything he said.

00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:52.939
 I was so thirsty to hear the truth.

00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.740
 My eyes and ears were opened, and I had this massive conviction in my heart.

00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:57.740
 This was it.

00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.200
 This was what I was looking for.

00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:00.939
 I was born to hear this.

00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:08.120
 This morning, as we continue in the book of Acts, let me just recap where we've been.

00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:13.680
 The book of Acts is a book written by the gospel writer Luke, and it is a story.

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:18.419
 He's telling the story of how the church, after the resurrection of Jesus, grew.

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.919
 In the first chapter of Acts, Jesus gives this missional charge to the disciples in Acts 1.8,

00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:31.039
 and he says, You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in Judea and in Samaria and into the ends of the earth.

00:02:31.119 --> 00:02:33.959
 And as we go throughout the book of Acts, this is what we see.

00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:40.579
 We see not only the geographic but the ethnic spread of the gospel from Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria

00:02:40.579 --> 00:02:44.339
 and to most of the entire known Roman world.

00:02:45.139 --> 00:02:49.779
 And this morning, we come to Acts 18, where we continue Paul's second missionary journey.

00:02:49.779 --> 00:02:54.099
 And if you've been following along, you might notice that we're skipping Acts 17.

00:02:54.919 --> 00:03:02.119
 Mostly because last year, Tommy did a seven-part series in Acts 17, which is a really rich passage.

00:03:02.699 --> 00:03:06.419
 And so I just want to encourage you, if you didn't listen to that, to go back and check that out,

00:03:06.459 --> 00:03:07.459
 because it's a really good series.

00:03:08.459 --> 00:03:14.859
 But in this section of Paul's second missionary journey, like many other places in Acts,

00:03:15.279 --> 00:03:16.519
 he gets a mixed response.

00:03:18.119 --> 00:03:23.679
 Paul experiences both gospel fruit, and he also experiences opposition.

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.560
 And so the question that I want to ask this morning is this.

00:03:28.379 --> 00:03:32.680
 How does the gospel advance despite opposition?

00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.180
 How does the gospel advance despite opposition?

00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.020
 This is a question, I think, that can help us understand this chapter,

00:03:40.100 --> 00:03:44.080
 but I think it can also help us understand our mission as a church today.

00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:47.840
 So first of all, we're going to see two things.

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.159
 First, we're going to see that the gospel advances through evangelism rooted in the sovereignty of God.

00:03:53.539 --> 00:03:56.400
 And secondly, it advances through discipleship rooted in the Word of God.

00:03:56.699 --> 00:04:02.219
 So first of all, the gospel advances through evangelism rooted in the sovereignty of God.

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:07.400
 I think, understandably, when we hear this word evangelism,

00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:12.740
 sometimes it can feel uncomfortable or we might misunderstand it.

00:04:12.740 --> 00:04:16.220
 And I think that it can make us feel uncomfortable for a couple reasons,

00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.220
 and I think it's because of how we imagine it.

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.980
 I think we might imagine it in a lot of different ways.

00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:28.600
 I think some of us might imagine evangelism as forced, awkward conversation about religion,

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.879
 which makes me uncomfortable too.

00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:36.639
 And then others of us might imagine it as an extreme version of cultural imperialism,

00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.400
 maybe one religion trying to force its culture on another.

00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:46.479
 But what the Bible teaches and what this text shows us today is that evangelism is neither of those things.

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.299
 It's neither forced, awkward conversation about religion.

00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:51.199
 It's not cultural or imperialism.

00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.699
 The word evangelism comes from the Greek word euangelion,

00:04:55.299 --> 00:04:57.219
 which is actually where we get our word gospel.

00:04:57.379 --> 00:05:00.879
 Anytime you see the word gospel in the New Testament, that's the word.

00:05:00.919 --> 00:05:02.819
 And the word means good news.

00:05:03.719 --> 00:05:04.679
 It means good news.

00:05:05.459 --> 00:05:09.060
 And in particular, it means the good news about the death and the resurrection of Jesus.

00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:13.639
 And so in that sense, we're all evangelists about something.

00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:15.879
 We're all evangelists about something.

00:05:16.280 --> 00:05:20.860
 Anytime we share good news or anytime we share about something we love.

00:05:21.340 --> 00:05:27.620
 For about the past month or so, I have been an evangelist for my new favorite TV show, Ted Lasso.

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:29.800
 I've been talking about it.

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:30.939
 I've been quoting it.

00:05:31.340 --> 00:05:32.680
 I've been telling other people to watch it.

00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:36.220
 And good news, season two just came out.

00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:37.820
 So that's good news.

00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:41.860
 But here in Acts 18, Paul travels.

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:43.860
 He was in Athens in Acts 17.

00:05:43.980 --> 00:05:49.680
 He travels about 45 miles west in the city of Corinth to share the good news of the gospel.

00:05:49.820 --> 00:05:57.740
 And in Corinth, he meets Aquila and Priscilla, two Jewish believers who have fled Rome because of an edict of the emperor Claudius.

00:05:57.740 --> 00:06:05.100
 And Aquila and Priscilla, as the story goes on, end up becoming two of his most important missionary colleagues.

00:06:05.220 --> 00:06:11.139
 And Luke tells us that Paul stays with them, working for some time as tent makers to earn a living.

00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:18.759
 And then verse 4 tells us that every Sabbath, Paul went to the synagogue and reasoned with both Jews and Greeks.

00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:23.879
 And this is, again, another clue that evangelism is not what we think.

00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:32.500
 We see Paul reasoning and dialoguing and discussing with people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:42.959
 If you see the different ways that Paul shares the gospel throughout the book of Acts, I think you'll notice at least four things about what it means to share the gospel.

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:46.180
 That sharing the gospel involves at least four things.

00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:56.420
 First, it involves loving people by listening to their hopes, longings, fears, and sufferings.

00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:58.620
 Acts 17 is a great study of this.

00:06:58.620 --> 00:07:06.399
 Paul, when he gets to the city, he comes into Athens and he walks around the city and he sees, he notices, and he observes the culture.

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.220
 And he sees that the city is full of idols.

00:07:09.379 --> 00:07:11.000
 Paul listens first.

00:07:11.780 --> 00:07:12.360
 He observes.

00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:13.120
 He notices.

00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:20.319
 Secondly, sharing the gospel involves dialoguing with people about how they are seeking to address those things.

00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.459
 About how they're seeking to address their hopes, longings, and fears.

00:07:24.459 --> 00:07:28.739
 Again, in Acts 17, Paul begins his sermon by saying,

00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.079
 Man of Athens, I can see that you are very religious.

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:40.679
 I can see that you care about finding meaning and purpose and transcendence in your life,

00:07:40.919 --> 00:07:43.599
 and that you are doing something to address those things.

00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.459
 It involves dialoguing with people about how they're addressing their longings, hopes, and fears.

00:07:48.459 --> 00:07:56.279
 Third, it involves patiently offering a reason to critique where there might be some inconsistency.

00:07:56.379 --> 00:08:01.759
 And this is where the reasoning, the discussing, the dialoguing comes in that we see here in Acts 18.

00:08:03.799 --> 00:08:09.740
 Another example of this in Acts 17 is when Paul says, he offers this critique and he says,

00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:18.920
 Do you think that the God who made heaven and earth, the God who made all things, would live in a temple made by human hands?

00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.699
 Like, does that make rational sense?

00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:22.740
 Does that make logical sense?

00:08:23.460 --> 00:08:28.060
 He poses this question as a critique, a rational critique.

00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:38.259
 Fourth and finally, sharing the gospel involves showing how the good news of Jesus offers a story that is more beautiful, that is truer, that is better.

00:08:38.259 --> 00:08:40.879
 Paul says in Acts 17,

00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:47.819
 I see that you worship an unknown God, and what you worship as unknown, now I am going to proclaim to you.

00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:53.379
 And I am going to quote your own poets to proclaim to you the message of Jesus,

00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:59.259
 because the gospel is the fulfillment of not only your deepest longings and hopes,

00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:01.299
 but of the deepest longings and hopes of your culture.

00:09:02.659 --> 00:09:06.819
 This is what we are called to do as witnesses in our neighborhoods, in our workplaces, in friendships.

00:09:06.820 --> 00:09:11.260
 This is the work of evangelism, not forced conversation, not cultural imperialism,

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:16.300
 but loving, humble, patient, reasoned dialogue.

00:09:16.299 --> 00:09:26.120
 But no matter how patient or kind or warm we are in our evangelism, we may still, like Paul, experience opposition.

00:09:26.319 --> 00:09:30.279
 Maybe you've experienced this from family or friends or coworkers.

00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:38.759
 There are certain cases of the persecuted church around the country, including the church in Iran, that experiences this.

00:09:39.620 --> 00:09:42.059
 And this is what Paul experiences in verse 6.

00:09:42.059 --> 00:09:43.979
 The people in the synagogue force him to leave.

00:09:44.079 --> 00:09:46.619
 Luke tells us that they oppose him and they revile him.

00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:50.159
 Verses 12 through 17 give us another instance of opposition,

00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.939
 where some of the people in the synagogue actually bring Paul to court.

00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.919
 They bring a case before Galileo, the Roman proconsul.

00:09:58.839 --> 00:10:01.119
 And Galileo dismisses the case.

00:10:01.199 --> 00:10:03.479
 He says, this has to do with your religion, not Roman law.

00:10:03.859 --> 00:10:08.419
 But still, it shows the kind of hostility and opposition that Paul was facing.

00:10:08.419 --> 00:10:11.399
 And so what does he do in response?

00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:16.500
 Verse 6 tells us that he shook his garments and he said, your blood be on your own heads.

00:10:17.019 --> 00:10:17.719
 I am innocent.

00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.419
 From now on, I will go to the Gentiles.

00:10:20.439 --> 00:10:24.620
 It's a way of symbolically saying, I've done all I can do here.

00:10:25.459 --> 00:10:28.059
 I'm no longer accepting responsibility.

00:10:28.059 --> 00:10:29.000
 I'm moving on.

00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:33.819
 I'm no longer considering myself responsible to take the gospel to you.

00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:39.280
 And this doesn't mean that Paul is no longer concerned with sharing the gospel with Jews.

00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.700
 It just means that he is shifting the focus of his ministry in Corinth.

00:10:44.540 --> 00:10:50.220
 We know this because he does a similar thing in other cities, like in Acts chapter 13,

00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.020
 where a similar thing happens.

00:10:52.300 --> 00:10:55.280
 But we also know this because two verses later in verse 8,

00:10:56.420 --> 00:11:01.200
 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, the head leader of the synagogue, a Jew,

00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.540
 hears Paul's message about Jesus and believes.

00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:11.379
 Crispus and his whole household and many of the Corinthians in the city believe the gospel and are baptized.

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:18.200
 Later in the service, we're going to have the joy of seeing two children in our congregation baptized.

00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.720
 And for those who might be less familiar with why we would baptize young children,

00:11:23.340 --> 00:11:27.480
 among many other reasons in terms of how we think about the biblical story

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.620
 and how the Old Testament and New Testament fit together,

00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:34.220
 this is one of several passages in Acts where we see not just individuals,

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:38.480
 but entire households being baptized.

00:11:39.100 --> 00:11:42.820
 We see throughout Scripture, from the Old Testament throughout to the New Testament,

00:11:42.820 --> 00:11:45.259
 that God brings his salvation not just to individuals,

00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:48.440
 but to whole families and households.

00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:54.060
 And so Paul sees some success in people coming to faith in Corinth.

00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:58.199
 He sees some people being baptized, but he also experiences opposition.

00:11:58.899 --> 00:12:00.659
 So how does he persevere?

00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:05.379
 How does the gospel continue to advance despite opposition?

00:12:06.359 --> 00:12:11.979
 In verses 9 through 11, we have one of the most amazing moments in the entire book of Acts.

00:12:13.319 --> 00:12:16.199
 Jesus himself appears to Paul in a dream and he says,

00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:32.780
 It's this amazing statement of the sovereign presence of the Lord in Paul's ministry.

00:12:33.280 --> 00:12:33.900
 These words,

00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.520
 Do not be afraid, I am with you, would have rang in Paul's ear,

00:12:37.660 --> 00:12:40.220
 because these are words that are all over the Old Testament.

00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:44.100
 God spoke them to Moses when he was in the wilderness.

00:12:44.100 --> 00:12:47.879
 He spoke them to Joshua before entering the promised land.

00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:50.920
 He spoke them to Jeremiah when he called them to be a prophet.

00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:55.840
 He spoke them to the whole nation of Israel in Deuteronomy 31 and Isaiah 41.

00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.800
 And Jesus is saying to Paul in the midst of discouragement and opposition and fear,

00:13:01.659 --> 00:13:02.159
 he's saying,

00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:03.800
 In the same way that I was with Moses,

00:13:04.019 --> 00:13:07.019
 in the same way that I was with Jeremiah,

00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:08.759
 in the same way that I was with Joshua,

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.580
 in the same way that I was with the whole people of Israel,

00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:13.759
 I am with you.

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:15.720
 I am with you too.

00:13:15.780 --> 00:13:16.420
 I am with you.

00:13:16.520 --> 00:13:17.080
 Do not fear.

00:13:17.180 --> 00:13:17.960
 Do not be silent.

00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:19.440
 Do not be discouraged.

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.300
 Go on proclaiming the good news about my death and resurrection.

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:24.400
 Why?

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:27.820
 Because I have many people in the city who are my people.

00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.200
 Now this might sound strange to our modern ears,

00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:36.379
 but this is a statement of the Lord Jesus having sovereign authority

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:40.180
 over the outcome and the success of Paul's mission.

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:42.600
 And we don't just see this in Acts.

00:13:42.660 --> 00:13:43.800
 We see this throughout Scripture.

00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:46.640
 That even though God has called people,

00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:47.200
 you and I,

00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:50.340
 to be the instruments and the messengers of his salvation,

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:54.259
 that ultimately God is the one who saves.

00:13:54.740 --> 00:13:56.700
 That he is the one who saves.

00:13:56.700 --> 00:13:59.140
 I think this,

00:13:59.240 --> 00:13:59.940
 as we read this,

00:13:59.980 --> 00:14:02.259
 this might raise a tension or a question for us.

00:14:02.780 --> 00:14:03.060
 If,

00:14:03.140 --> 00:14:04.400
 if Jesus says to Paul,

00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:06.820
 I have many people in this city,

00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:08.360
 you know,

00:14:08.420 --> 00:14:09.900
 why doesn't Paul just say,

00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:11.040
 all right,

00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:11.240
 well,

00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:11.940
 you got it.

00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:13.220
 You'll take it from here.

00:14:13.379 --> 00:14:16.200
 I'm just going to go home and relax and sit on the couch and watch TV.

00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:16.900
 All right,

00:14:16.920 --> 00:14:17.080
 Jesus,

00:14:17.180 --> 00:14:18.400
 if you've got many people in the city,

00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:19.460
 I'll just,

00:14:19.520 --> 00:14:20.020
 I'll just relax.

00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:20.560
 You got it.

00:14:21.780 --> 00:14:22.140
 What,

00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:22.879
 what do we say to that?

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:23.080
 Well,

00:14:23.140 --> 00:14:24.220
 we'll say a couple of things,

00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:25.020
 a couple of things.

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:25.579
 First,

00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:32.980
 it has always been God's plan in creation and in redemption to use human beings to represent him to the world.

00:14:33.299 --> 00:14:33.939
 Because in creation,

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:37.279
 this is what it means to be made in the image of God,

00:14:37.319 --> 00:14:39.439
 that we represent God to the world.

00:14:40.319 --> 00:14:41.199
 And in redemption,

00:14:41.439 --> 00:14:43.799
 this is what it means to be reconciled back to God.

00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:46.299
 Second Corinthians five says that,

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:54.059
 that those of us who have been reconciled to God through Christ have now become the messengers of reconciliation.

00:14:54.059 --> 00:14:58.839
 That those of us who have come to faith in Jesus have now been entrusted with the gospel.

00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:00.459
 Paul says in St.

00:15:00.479 --> 00:15:01.059
 Corinthians five,

00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:02.759
 it's as if we're,

00:15:02.819 --> 00:15:03.899
 we're Christ ambassadors,

00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:08.519
 as if God was making his appeal through us.

00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.399
 Those who've been reconciled become ministers of reconciliation.

00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:17.059
 You and I are not God's plan B for the advancement of the gospel.

00:15:17.980 --> 00:15:18.980
 We are his plan A.

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.480
 We're his plan A.

00:15:20.939 --> 00:15:21.319
 Secondly,

00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:24.399
 the sovereignty of God,

00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:27.459
 I think that we see here in this passage and throughout scripture,

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:30.959
 the sovereignty of God isn't a barrier to share the gospel.

00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:34.639
 It is our only hope in sharing the gospel.

00:15:35.459 --> 00:15:37.620
 Successful evangelism from a human point of view,

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:39.879
 is it a completely impossible task?

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:42.600
 It's a completely hopeless text.

00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:44.600
 You and I cannot change people's hearts.

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:45.980
 We cannot make people believe.

00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:53.879
 Ephesians two says that even the ability to believe is a gift from God that he gives so that no one can boast,

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.700
 not even the one who proclaims the gospel,

00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:57.419
 not even the messenger.

00:15:59.580 --> 00:16:00.580
 Theologian J.

00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:00.740
 I.

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:05.060
 Packer wrote a great book on this subject called evangelism and the sovereignty of God.

00:16:05.059 --> 00:16:06.379
 And I would encourage you to read it.

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.000
 And in this book,

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:08.739
 he says this.

00:16:09.599 --> 00:16:09.939
 He says,

00:16:10.379 --> 00:16:14.939
 our evangelistic work is the instrument that God uses.

00:16:15.819 --> 00:16:18.759
 But the power that saves is not in the instrument.

00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.379
 It is in the hand of one who uses the instrument.

00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:23.179
 Let me just say that again.

00:16:23.479 --> 00:16:26.399
 Our evangelistic work is the instrument that God uses.

00:16:26.839 --> 00:16:29.279
 But the power that saves is not in the instrument.

00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:32.219
 It is in the hand of the one who uses the instrument.

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:33.479
 So,

00:16:33.479 --> 00:16:34.699
 so pause in Corinth.

00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:37.659
 And he's seeking to share the gospel.

00:16:37.939 --> 00:16:39.459
 And he's been opposed publicly,

00:16:39.619 --> 00:16:39.899
 physically.

00:16:40.019 --> 00:16:40.819
 He's been taken to court.

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:41.839
 He's been attacked.

00:16:42.819 --> 00:16:45.500
 And this is the context in which Paul hears.

00:16:45.859 --> 00:16:49.339
 And this is the context in which the persecuted church around the world hears.

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.699
 And this is the context in which you and I hear the words of Jesus.

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:54.019
 Do not be afraid.

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.159
 Do not be silent.

00:16:56.299 --> 00:17:01.239
 Go on speaking the gospel because I have many people in this city who are my people.

00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.400
 I have many people in Washington, D.C.

00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:05.240
 Who are my people.

00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:17.339
 I have many in London, in Mumbai, in Shanghai, in Bangkok, in Tokyo, in Sao Paulo, in Cairo, Manila, in Istanbul, in Guangzhou, in Moscow, in Bogota, in Tehran, in Madrid, in Nairobi, in Lagos.

00:17:17.339 --> 00:17:19.659
 Who are my people?

00:17:19.660 --> 00:17:21.960
 And they may not know it yet.

00:17:22.540 --> 00:17:24.600
 They might be completely secular.

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:25.960
 They might be following another religion.

00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:31.240
 But before creation, I set them apart that they might know the saving power of my love.

00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:38.539
 And so suddenly we realize that these words from Jesus are not a hindrance to evangelism.

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.720
 They are the rocket fuel for the mission of the church.

00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:50.160
 And this is what we see throughout the history of the church and even in the world today, that the gospel advances in hard places.

00:17:50.160 --> 00:18:01.980
 It advances in hard to reach places not because of human ingenuity or strategy, but because of God's sovereign power to save.

00:18:02.800 --> 00:18:05.160
 This is what we see in Nima's story.

00:18:05.860 --> 00:18:09.080
 Sarah Zilstra writes that Nima's story isn't uncommon in Iran.

00:18:10.360 --> 00:18:13.040
 She says gospel growth has been happening all over Iran.

00:18:13.820 --> 00:18:18.540
 After the revolution, many students fled the repression of the Ayatollah by studying abroad.

00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:20.259
 Many in the United States.

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:25.200
 Many of them were exposed to Christianity and able to begin sharing it with family on trips home.

00:18:26.059 --> 00:18:29.779
 A Christian television channel began broadcasting in Farsi into the country.

00:18:30.619 --> 00:18:32.379
 Later, information flooded with the internet.

00:18:32.819 --> 00:18:34.379
 Three more Christian television channels.

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.619
 Organizations were smuggling in Bibles.

00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:43.079
 And the rise of international travel helped too with some missionaries in Turkey reaching out to Iranians on vacation.

00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:46.819
 Nima's church in particular was good at evangelism.

00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:47.759
 He said,

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:51.359
 Every one of us in the church had a group of friends and family, and first we would go to them.

00:18:51.939 --> 00:18:53.720
 And steadily, their numbers increased.

00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:56.399
 And then they prayed about going to different cities.

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:58.480
 And whenever two or three people came to the Lord,

00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:02.200
 Nima's church would connect them with each other and help them to begin to share their faith.

00:19:03.099 --> 00:19:09.119
 Over the past 20 years, the church has planted about 25 other small groups in 12 cities.

00:19:09.619 --> 00:19:12.279
 And about 500 people have committed their lives to Jesus.

00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:18.920
 And both Christian and secular researchers have observed that out of all the countries in the world,

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.359
 the country where Christianity is growing the fastest right now is Iran.

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:28.599
 20 years ago, the number of Christians in Iran was between about 5,000 and 10,000.

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.460
 Today, it is between 800,000 and 1 million.

00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:40.360
 We go and we send and we give to the advancement of the gospel in our city and around the world,

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:43.940
 not because we have a great strategy or because we are great speakers,

00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.640
 but because we have a God who is sovereign to save.

00:19:47.299 --> 00:19:52.680
 And because he is drawing people from every tribe and people and nation and language and neighborhood.

00:19:52.680 --> 00:20:03.120
 Jesus has many people in your neighborhood, on your street, in your workplace, in your sphere of influence.

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.620
 And he has placed you there to be his witness.

00:20:06.080 --> 00:20:10.080
 Not any of the Advent pastors, not any of our staff, but you.

00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:12.779
 And he is with you by his spirit.

00:20:12.840 --> 00:20:14.100
 And he says, do not be afraid.

00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:15.080
 Do not be silent.

00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:16.960
 But go on proclaiming the gospel.

00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:24.779
 So despite opposition, the gospel advances first through evangelism rooted in the sovereignty of God.

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:29.279
 And secondly, it advances through discipleship rooted in the word of God.

00:20:30.180 --> 00:20:32.340
 Discipleship rooted in the word of God.

00:20:32.420 --> 00:20:34.200
 This will be a quick point, but it's an important one.

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.460
 Verse 11 says that after seeing many people in Corinth come to faith in Jesus,

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:44.140
 that Paul stayed a year and six months teaching the word of God among them.

00:20:44.140 --> 00:20:50.620
 So Paul spends a year and a half taking these new believers deeply into the word of God.

00:20:51.120 --> 00:20:53.940
 Deeply into the story from Old Testament to New Testament.

00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:55.000
 Deeply into the gospel.

00:20:56.500 --> 00:21:02.220
 Verse 23 says that he went from one place to the next throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia.

00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:04.320
 Strengthening all the disciples.

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.980
 And undoubtedly the way he did this was taking them deeply into the word.

00:21:07.980 --> 00:21:15.220
 Paul throughout his ministry is equally as concerned about the breadth of the gospel advancing to new places

00:21:15.220 --> 00:21:20.900
 as he is about the depth of the gospel in places where the church has already been planted.

00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:31.120
 Sometimes the best point to make about a particular passage is the one that is the most obvious and the one that is the most simple.

00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:36.299
 If we want to see the gospel advance in our city,

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:42.319
 our church has to be a place of deep discipleship and formation through the word of God.

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.979
 Mission and evangelism can only happen if all of us are growing into maturity in Christ.

00:21:47.539 --> 00:21:51.839
 And the center of that, the lifeblood of that, is God's word.

00:21:51.959 --> 00:21:57.519
 Hearing the word, reading the word, praying the word, discussing the word, and meditating on the word.

00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:03.980
 This deep formation in the word of God is one of the reasons why I love being part of an Anglican church.

00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:09.660
 Because we have rhythms and structures and prayers that are saturated with the word of God.

00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:12.579
 Our Sunday liturgy is saturated with the word.

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:17.440
 The daily offices of morning and evening and noon and compliment are saturated with the word.

00:22:17.900 --> 00:22:22.799
 The readings of the daily office will take you through the entire Bible, Old Testament, New Testament, and Psalms.

00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:24.859
 It will take you through the whole Bible in two years.

00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:29.559
 And so as the summer winds down and as we look towards the fall,

00:22:29.639 --> 00:22:35.479
 I always think this is one of those times throughout the year where we can pause and reset and sort of reset some of our rhythms.

00:22:36.179 --> 00:22:38.259
 Summer is winding down, fall is winding up.

00:22:39.939 --> 00:22:44.259
 In this season, as you think about your life and your schedule and your rhythms,

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:47.339
 how are you going to go deeply into the word of God?

00:22:48.139 --> 00:22:50.919
 Personally, with your family, in community?

00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:51.000
 Maybe.

00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:55.880
 You know, I'm excited because I think there's a lot of opportunities at Advent to do this this fall.

00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.019
 Maybe for you it means joining a core group.

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:01.100
 Or maybe rejoining a core group.

00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:06.259
 If you're new to our church, maybe it's joining foundations, which starts in December.

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:12.960
 Or, which will give you an overview of how we think about being a Christian and being part of Advent and what it means to be part of Anglican Church.

00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:16.319
 All of which are rooted in God's word.

00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:20.700
 Maybe it's committing to do morning or evening prayer once or twice a week.

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:23.299
 Maybe it's reading the Bible for the first time.

00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:28.980
 And if that's you, I would love to know because I'd love to help you orient to the word.

00:23:29.019 --> 00:23:30.180
 I'd love to help you know where to start.

00:23:30.180 --> 00:23:35.460
 As you look towards the fall, how are you going to go deeply into the word of God?

00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:36.340
 There's no formation.

00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:38.019
 There's no discipleship without it.

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:46.700
 Nima eventually ended up in Australia where a man there mentored him, taught him theology,

00:23:46.900 --> 00:23:50.060
 and encouraged him to go to seminary at Moore Theological College.

00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:56.640
 After seminary, he moved to Los Angeles as a missionary to reach out to the Iranian population there.

00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:02.020
 Outside of Iran, the place with the highest concentration of Iranians is California.

00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:08.540
 And so Nima now works at a pastor at an ACNA church in Southern California.

00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:13.640
 And he started an online platform in order to do evangelism and discipleship in Farsi.

00:24:14.540 --> 00:24:19.820
 Sarah Zylstra writes that this past year, the pandemic sent Iranians online more than ever.

00:24:19.819 --> 00:24:25.819
 These days, Nima's online discipleship program has ballooned from 40 people to 620,

00:24:26.379 --> 00:24:31.960
 split into classes for seekers and new believers, theology and doctrine, and a Bible study for mature believers.

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:38.579
 And on Saturdays, Nima invites pastors and leaders of different churches in the Iranian community to talk about current issues.

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:50.919
 Nima's story in Acts chapter 18 show that the gospel advances despite opposition in places like Corinth and in places like Tehran and in places like D.C.

00:24:51.659 --> 00:24:56.599
 Through evangelism rooted in the sovereignty of God and discipleship rooted in the word of God.

00:24:56.679 --> 00:24:58.339
 You can't have mission without formation.

00:24:59.099 --> 00:25:01.199
 The gospel only goes out if it sinks down.

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:14.759
 And so may we be a church that is so deeply formed by the word of God that we can't help but be propelled out into mission because we know that Jesus is sovereign over this city.

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:18.140
 And because we know that his word is sufficient.

00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:19.600
 Let's pray.

00:25:22.539 --> 00:25:26.460
 Lord Jesus, you are sovereign to save.

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.080
 And your word is sufficient.

00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:36.220
 May we be a church that is rooted in your sovereignty.

00:25:37.120 --> 00:25:39.680
 In the sufficiency of your word.

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:41.059
 Amen.
