#65: Acts: Peter and Paul: A Tale of Two Men

Unlike Peter the unschooled fisherman, Paul was well educated, sophisticated, and an emerging leader among his people. These sound like compliments, Pastor Allen Jackson says, but until Paul met Jesus, the force of his intellect and personality was used to persecute anyone who would call on the name of Jesus or even suggest that He could be the Messiah. Like Paul, our greatest strengths have the potential to be our greatest weaknesses if we are not yielded to the lordship of Jesus. But when we do come before Him in humility, and repent and lay our lives at the foot of the cross, we are released from our bondage to sin and transformed into people who are fit for joyful service in God's Kingdom. Finally, Pastor Jackson describes the signs that we are experiencing a spiritual struggle for the heart and soul of our nation that is far more serious than a virus. This enemy will not be overcome by the scientists or politicians, he says, but only by the redemptive work of Jesus of Nazareth.
