Episode Synopsis

Before you ever do ministry, you are a witness. The call of Acts 13 reminds us that our identity in Christ is not earned through what we accomplish but received through the living encounter with Jesus. Out of that encounter, we are shaped, named, and sent. The Gospel doesn’t just add activities to our lives—it redefines who we are at the center.The resurrection of Jesus changes everything. In it, God fulfilled His promises, and in Him all the promises of God still find their “Yes” and “Amen.” That means we are invited to live with expectancy. The story of God’s promises is still being written in our day, in our neighborhoods, and across the nations. When our vision of the gospel grows small, Acts 13 calls us to lift our eyes and remember that the Good News is global, reaching into every place and every story.And the gospel doesn’t come to the world as scraps or leftovers—it comes as blessing. Isaiah and Paul point us to the “holy and sure blessings of David,” the rich soul food of life in Christ. Missions is like serving soul food to a hungry world. When people taste and see, they discover that the Lord is good. This is the field we are called to value, the field we are called to work in with expectancy and joy.
