Do you ever wonder if you're where you're supposed to be? Pastor Grant delivers a powerful reminder that your location is no accident - you've been divinely positioned to share the Gospel where you are.
Starting with sobering statistics about Mississippi's spiritual landscape - only 25% participate in any religious community and just 33% believe Jesus is the only way to salvation - this message challenges us to look beyond our church walls to the mission field in our own neighborhoods.
Diving into Acts 13:1-12, we witness the Holy Spirit commissioning Paul and Barnabas for missionary work, revealing three practices that positioned the early church to hear God's voice: authentic worship that extends beyond Sunday services into every aspect of life; fasting that demonstrates our dependence on God above earthly necessities; and dedicated prayer that isn't squeezed into spare moments but prioritized as essential.
Pastor Grant challenges our modern conception of worship, redefining it as "living our lives in adoration to the One who gave us this life." He suggests that while traditional fasting from food remains valuable, today's believers might consider fasting from phones or social media - deliberately setting aside these dependencies to focus more intently on God.
The message culminates with a clear presentation of the Gospel - the same message Paul and Barnabas proclaimed throughout their journeys. This timeless truth about God's justice and love demonstrated through Christ's substitutionary death and resurrection remains as astonishing today as it was in the first century.
Whether you're a long-time believer or seeking answers about faith, this message invites you to examine how the Holy Spirit might be speaking in your life and calling you to share the transformative message of Jesus with those around you. Join us in dedicating ourselves to worship, prayer, and Scripture so we can clearly hear God's voice in a noisy world.
