Agabus by Pastor Ben Haupt

Is life a comedy or a tragedy? Are we the hero or the victim? Or maybe the villain? Is the world descending into chaos and dystopia or are we on a path of ever-increasing prosperity and progress? The stories we tell orient us to our place in the world and our role in the story.

The Bible tells the story of a loving God and a messy people. There is a beginning and an end. Major themes of creation, redemption, and sanctification trace the arc of this grand narrative. And Jesus Christ is the center of it all – the great hero of the story who comes incognito to rescue and redeem his broken creation.

Today – we journey back into the book of Acts, hearing how God works through His people in times of struggle through a little known servant of God named Agabus, as well as one of the founders of our church body.  We’ll see God’s faithfulness and learn to draw on His strength as we navigate challenging waters in our own day. “Surely God is my help;  the LORD is the one who sustains me. (Psalm 54:4)

Acts 11:27- 12:5
