Opportunity - Week 5 (Be Part of the Plan)

The sermon explores the theme of opportunity, drawing parallels between the scattering of the early church after Stephen's stoning and the current sense of disconnection due to recent events. It highlights the story of Philip from the Book of Acts as an example of seizing opportunities to serve God and share the gospel, regardless of circumstances or personal feelings. Key points include serving God with whatever is in front of you, leveraging oneself for the gospel, and maintaining the gospel as the ultimate goal. The speaker shares a personal struggle related to his daughter's health, illustrating the choice to find purpose in difficult situations and participate in God's plan, referencing John 9 where Jesus states a man was born blind so that the works of God might be displayed. The message challenges listeners to embrace their scattering as an opportunity to multiply the church's impact by boldly sharing their faith.
