Title: Boldly Without Hindrance
(S) cripture:
Acts 28:31 (NASB) preaching the kingdom of God and teaching concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness, unhindered.
Acts 28:31 (NIV) Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
(O) bservation:
These are Luke’s last words describing Paul’s life and ministry. What a statement about how he lived and preached.
(A) pplication:
As I think about this I wonder what an historian would write about my life and ministry. How would it be described? What would the last line say about me? I want to live my life in such a way that if anyone would ever write about me they would say “Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.”
(P) rayer:
Lord, I want to live that kind of life. I want to be known as one who was faithful to your call in my life whether in times of ease or times of difficulty. Give me courage to preach and teach with boldness and without hindrance. Amen
