Acts - Gospel On The Margins

About this episode

Pastor Neli reflects on barriers to coming to God and emphasizes the open invitation to find rest in Jesus.

This week Pastor Neli helps us to reflect on the question, “What prevents us from coming to God?” No matter our insecurities, past failures, or how busy and noisy our lives may be, the invitation to come to Jesus and find rest remains open to everyone who is weary and heavy-laden. God measures your growth by your heart's obedience rather than your worldly success or visibility, and He can use your life as a light to help others find their way home to Him . And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. - Acts 8:34-35 (ESV)
