Pastor Joel continues preaching in the book of Acts beginning in chapter eighteen, working through verse eleven. Joel remarks that the gospel ministry advances under God’s providence. Additionally, God directs us to pray and directs us in our vocations to minister the Gospel to others. God directs people, but more importantly, he directs people for the purpose that they would come into contact with the gospel of Christ! Even in our hardships and failures God works so that the genuineness of our faith will resolve in glory and honor for the sake of Christ!
