"Let worship INVADE your circumstances" Jesus declared that his disciples would be his witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” Early Christians lived out this proclamation in powerful and palpable ways. Today we struggle to witness to those close to us, let alone to those at the ends of the earth. This series offers a glimpse into ways early Christians witnessed. Impacted?

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. Take the next step at burnthickory.com/next 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.

Mission is a call from God, but obedience sometimes means waiting rather than acting. Jongimpi D. Papu explores how the Holy Spirit guides when and where the gospel is shared, showing that God's “no” can be a divine “not yet” for a greater harvest.

In this message, Pastor Natalie Moore walks through Acts 16 to reveal how the gospel of Jesus reaches people from every background, circumstance, and moment of desperation. From Lydia's open heart, to a nameless enslaved woman set free, to a Roman jailer asking, “What must I do to be saved?”, one truth becomes unmistakably clear: the gospel is for everyone.Pastor Natalie highlights how the same Holy Spirit who empowered the early church is alive and active in believers today, challenging us to consider whether we are living out our faith with the same boldness and obedience as those who came before us. Through Paul and Silas' worship in prison, their response to suffering, and their care for people in crisis, we are reminded that followers of Jesus are called to offer a Savior before a solution.This teaching also reframes evangelism as a relational, prayerful way of life—sharing not only the gospel, but our lives—through intentional relationships, hospitality, and trust in God's timing. Whether you are new to faith, facing a season of desperation, or longing to share your faith more confidently, this message invites you to recognize divine opportunities and live anchored in the hope of Jesus.For the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel.

Shalom! We have been reading through Acts on our Facebook Lives and Zoom, and I have now learned how to download the audio and put those files over here! Woo hoo! I love you all!

Daily Dose of Hope December 12, 2025   Scripture:  Acts 16   Prayer:  Holy God, We come before you this morning with humility.  You, Lord of all Creation, Almighty God, came down to earth to become one of us.  You didn't come because you needed to, but because we needed you to.  Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the gift of incarnation.  As we continue through this Advent season, help us prepare our hearts for your coming.  Help us remember who and whose we are.  In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We have been walking through the Gospels and now we are mid-way through Acts.  Today, we are in Acts 16. There are two parts of this passage I want us to discuss.  The first is when Paul meets Timothy and decides to bring him on his missionary journey, he circumcises him.  Wait?  Didn't Paul just argue at the Council of Jerusalem that circumcision and the law were an unnecessary burden for Gentiles?  Yes, he did.  Now he circumcises Timothy.  Is he contradicting himself?  I don't believe so, but there are some layers to unpack.    Timothy's mother was Jewish and his father was Greek so he would not have been circumcised.  Now, Timothy and Paul are going to be visiting many young churches, some filled with Jewish believers.  While circumcision wouldn't be required, it probably gave Timothy a bit more authority in the eyes of those new Jewish converts.  It was probably also a debate they just didn't want to have.  They wanted the focus to be on salvation through Jesus Christ and they wanted to avoid anything that would be a distraction.  Of course, I'm thinking – was there a circumcision check at the door?  How would they even know?  But I digress.    The other part of the passage that is fascinating to me is how the Spirit of God discourages Paul and crew from going one way so that they would end up in Macedonia.  I mean, they had a route already planned out and they were prevented from taking that route.  And then Paul has a dream about a man calling to them and begging for them to come to Macedonia.  So they head in that direction.  When they go into Macedonia, it opens up a whole new area to the Gospel.  They head to Philippi, where they meet a woman named Lydia and she accepts Jesus.  She welcomes them into her home, which later becomes a house church.  This is only the beginning!  By listening to the Spirit and not insisting on their own way, the Gospel was advanced.    How often do we want to force our own way with God?  Yet, the Spirit is always trying to guide us, if we let him.   I can't finish today's devotional without at least addressing the prison story.  Paul and Silas are arrested after a debacle of sorts with a servant girl.  She had a spirit in her that told the future.  Keep in mind, this spirit would not have been of God, so most likely the power was demonic.  She followed the men around and was really wearing on Paul's nerves so he cast out that spirit.  But she was quite a money-maker for her owners.  When they find out the future-telling spirit is gone, they are livid.  They drag Paul and Silas into the public square and have them beaten.  Then, they are put in prison.  It feels a lot like a local mob gone crazy.   But God is always up to something.  An earthquake basically opens up the prison so the men could have theoretically walked out.  But they didn't.  I don't know why they didn't leave.  Maybe the Holy Spirit impressed upon them to stay, we don't have that information.  But because they stayed, the jailer is saved and so is his family!  One door opens another.    God is always opening at doors, always at work, but we have to be paying attention.  How have you seen God working behind the scenes in your life this week?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Paul and Silas sang hymns in the midnight of their prison cell, and Habakkuk rejoiced even when the fields were empty. Praise is a defiant light in the dark—a refusal to let despair have the last word.
