The last thing Jesus said before He died on the cross was “It is Finished.” This sermon is an examination into what Jesus meant by that statement. It’s a powerful truth that can profoundly impact our lives if we let it. I posted this sermon in place of the regular teaching we have been doing on the Book of Acts because I was ministering in the Netherlands at the time this podcast was released. Hope you enjoy it.
This is the very interesting account of the confrontation between Paul and Elymas, a sorcerer. This lesson also includes the account of the missionary team going from Cyprus to Asia minor where Mark abandons the brothers to go back to Jerusalem. This is a very challenging lesson.
