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.

Life is hard! Suffering and brokenness feel like a normal part of our daily lives. However, just as he did with the Apostle Paul, the Lord is seeking to encourage us today by reminding us to have courage. For the Christian, we have no need to fear because we are never alone, the Lord is always with us!
