When Cities Rejoice: Righteousness, Wickedness, and the Power of Words (Pr 11:10-11; Acts 25)
Join us for a deep dive into Proverbs 11:10-11 and Acts 25, as we explore the profound impact of righteousness and wickedness on both individuals and communities. We'll unpack the vivid imagery in Proverbs, where the prosperity of the righteous brings joy to a city, while the words of the wicked can lead to its downfall. Then, we’ll turn to the Apostle Paul's experience in Acts, examining his courageous stand for truth and his appeal to Caesar amidst false accusations. We'll consider how Paul's actions exemplify living out one’s faith, even in the face of opposition, and what this can mean for us.
We'll discuss how your choices and words have far-reaching consequences in your family and community. You'll see how standing up for what's right, even when risky, reflects God’s power and purpose. In addition, we'll consider how systems designed for justice can be manipulated, highlighting the importance of speaking up against injustice. We'll also be reminded that God’s sovereignty prevails, using even our struggles to advance His plans. This episode will encourage you to live with integrity, use your words to build up, and to trust in God's justice always.
