A Message from Pastor Kevin DibbleyThis Sunday, we’ll explore a message called “Hope for the Hardest of Hearts.” In Acts 26, the apostle Paul stands before powerful rulers—King Agrippa and Governor Festus. The pressure is real. Accusations are flying. The goal of his opponents is clear: silence Paul and stop the spread of the gospel. But something remarkable happens. Instead of shrinking back, Paul leans in. What was meant to be an interrogation becomes a testimony. What was meant to suppress the gospel becomes a platform to proclaim it. With courage and clarity, Paul speaks about the risen Christ—and the hope of resurrection, even for those sitting in judgment over him. And that raises an important question for us: Do we really believe that no heart is beyond the reach of God’s grace? It’s easy to quietly write people off—to assume some are too hardened, too resistant, too far gone. Yet the very gospel we proclaim declares that Jesus has conquered sin and death. If that’s true, then even the hardest heart is not beyond His power to save. This Sunday, we’ll be invited to rediscover that hope—to believe again in the transforming power of the gospel, not just in theory, but in the lives of real people around us. Come with expectation. Come ready to be encouraged. And maybe bring someone with you who needs to hear that there is hope—even for them. We’re looking forward to worshiping together on the Lord’s Day. |
