Howell Bible Church

Don't you want to go where the Lord would have you go? Don't you want to serve where the Lord would have you serve? That requires being open to redirection.

What does redirection look like in the life of a Christian? Let's examine it in Paul's ministry. Don't miss Sunday's sermon.

Paul was forbidden from going to Asia. God redirected him to Macedonia, where the first person he met was a woman from Asia. Paul had a plan. God had a better one.

Don't miss the recap of this week's sermon.

Redirected – Acts 16:6–15 - Howell Bible Church Paul was forbidden from preaching in Asia, then blocked from Bithynia. God redirected him to Macedonia, where Lydia believed. Acts 16:6-15 explored.

It's easy as Christians to hit the checklist and stop listening for the Spirit's leading. Maybe we're not even open to redirection because we've already made all our own plans."

The cross looked like the end. Stephen's death looked like the end. Paul and Barnabas parting ways looked like the end. But in every case, the mission carried on.

Follow along with our series in Acts where we see how God has carried on the mission of the gospel, even when it looked like the end.

The gospel was never dependent on perfect circumstances or perfect people. It rests on a perfect Savior.

I hope you all are having a great start to your week. Here are some reminders about upcoming events and more.

Howell Pride Parade is this Saturday (June 13th) from noon - 2pm. We are meeting in front of Good Sense Coffee to pray and make plans. I hope you can join us.

Michigan Challenge Baloonfest is June 28th (Sunday). We are meeting in front of Good Sense Coffee and sharing the gospel from 11:30 - 1:30pm after church. The event should bring lots of people downtown. Last year, over 20 people from HBC came. Let's try and exceed that number this year.

If you have not joined our WhatsApp evangelism group, let me know and I will send you an invite. I post the evangelism calendar, as well as our plans for each event. This will help you stay in the loop with all our evangelism activities.

I know that the idea of sharing the gospel with a stranger can cause some anxiety. If you're anxious about it, I want to encourage you to join us and simply observe. You don't have to speak to anyone. You don't even have to hand out tracts. Just come and see what its like. I promise, you will not be pressured. I'm also confident that you'll come to realize that its not as hard or scary as you think. Feel free to reach out to me so we can schedule a time to go out.

If you have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to contact me. God bless!

There's one gospel, one Savior, one way of salvation. Not by anything we do, but by faith in Jesus Christ alone. That's the message we carry, and it's the message that has the power to save everyone who believes.
