I SHALL NOT BE MOVED

ACTS

20:22-24Slide2

And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,

except

that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Acts 20:22-24Slide3

Then Jews from Antioch and

Iconium

came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. 20 However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

Acts

14:19-20Slide4

Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods.

And

when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely.

Acts

16:22-23Slide5

Are they ministers of Christ? —I speak as a fool — I am more

: in

labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.2 Corinthians 11:23Slide6

And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,

Acts 20:22Slide7

except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.

Acts 20:23Slide8

But none of these

things

Acts 20:24aSlide9

Are they ministers of Christ? —I speak as a fool — I am more

: in

labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. Three

times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

2 Corinthians 11:23-25Slide10

in

journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings

often, in cold and nakedness —

Acts 20:24aSlide12

besides the other things, what comes upon me

daily: my

deep concern for all the churches.2 Corinthians 11:28Slide13

nor do I count my life dear to myself,

Acts 20:24bSlide14

For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

according

to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. Philippians 1:19-20Slide15

For

to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard- pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

Philippians 1:21-23Slide16

so that I may finish my race with joy

Acts 20:24bSlide17

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the

faith. Finally

, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.2 Timothy 4:7-8Slide18

and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus

Acts 20:24cSlide19

But the Lord said to him, " Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

For

I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name's sake."Acts 9:15-16Slide20

except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.

Acts 20:23Slide21

to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Acts 20:24cSlide22

To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

and

to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; Ephesians 3:8-9Slide23

to

the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,

according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

Ephesians 3:10-11Slide24

I have set the Lord always before me

; Because

He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:2

Are You Easily Moved?Slide25

He only is my rock and my salvation

; He

is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

Psalm 62:2

Are You Easily Moved?Slide26

that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful

plotting,

Are You Moving Away from the Rock?Slide29

Matthew 7:24-25

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the

rock:

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the

rock.Slide30

Matthew 7:26-27

“

But

everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the

sand: and

the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."
