When accusations or misunderstandings come against your faith, what does it look like to give a Christ-centered defense rather than a self-defensive reaction? In his sermon: “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose!” centered on Acts 24:1 – 25:12, Pastor Josiah walks us into the Roman courtroom of Caesarea, where the apostle Paul stands accused before Governor Felix. Surrounded by power, politics, and hostility, Paul defends himself not with manipulation but with conviction—his worship is to the Lord, his hope is anchored in the resurrection, and his conscience is clear before God and man. This passage reveals that the gospel itself, not merely Paul, is on trial—and that even in chains, God’s mission is unstoppable.
As Christ’s chosen people, we are called to live with integrity and to boldly defend His truth before all. When our eyes are fixed on Christ and our hearts are full of love for Him, we truly can’t lose—because even through persecution and hardship, the gospel advances, God’s purposes prevail, and His truth cannot be silenced.

What if following Christ led you into suffering instead of comfort — would you still obey? In “Chained in Obedience,” Pastor Josiah unpacks Paul’s costly journey to Jerusalem in Acts 21:15–36 — a story that reminds us that following Christ faithfully does not guarantee comfort, favor, or safety. Paul’s obedience led him into chains, not away from them. Yet through those chains, God advanced the gospel and displayed His sovereignty. Paul’s example calls believers to embrace the truth that faithful obedience often includes suffering, and that despite persecution God’s plan still succeeds! The same Lord who ruled over Paul’s prison cell reigns over every trial we face today, turning our suffering into a testimony of His grace and power.
