Our Costly Mission
January 19, 2025
This week, West Valley welcomes René's brother, Pastor Rick Reed from Toronto. He continues our study of the Book of Acts in chapter 21. The Holy Spirit openly reveals the sacrifices involved in living on mission for Jesus, as exemplified by the Apostle Paul’s willingness to face suffering and death for his faith. We as believers need to embrace our role in this mission by being prepared for sacrifice, trusting in God’s will, and praying for boldness and opportunities to share the gospel. He illustrated the importance of readiness through historical examples, personal anecdotes, and scripture, and encourages us to live out our faith courageously in our communities and beyond.
