About this episode
The episode discusses Apostle Paul's commitment to his mission despite the impending suffering, challenging listeners to evaluate their own lives in terms of comfort versus purpose.
Be honest with yourself - are you living for comfort or a purpose worth giving your life to? Sunday's message explores Acts 20 - 21, where Apostle Paul chooses to continue his mission to Jerusalem even though he knows suffering and imprisonment await him. Through Paul’s example, Pastor Toran challenged us to consider whether we are living for comfort or for a purpose worth giving our lives to. Following God’s calling can be costly - not only for us, but also sometimes for the people around us. However, it ultimately leads to a life of deeper meaning and impact. --- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9AM & 10:45AM. Decided to follow Jesus?
