Let’s Go: Worshipfully
Aubrey Schneider continues our sermon series at Celebrate called “Let’s Go”. This series is based on the book of Acts. The message is: LET'S GO strengthen and encourage people! This week’s focus is Acts 16:16-40 (Paul & Silas in Prison), and how we are called to go to Worshipfully as we encounter the world. See sermon notes and resources linked below.
This sermon series also highlights people who are going in our own communities. This week’s interview was Jonah and Liv and their FCA Worship Night. You can see this interview here.

Things To Remember:
Paul & Silas were most likely in pain, hungry, tired, and simply exhausted. And at midnight, in prison, they chose to pray and worship the Lord.
What if the miracle of this account wasn't the earthquake, but the fact that the jailer and his entire family came to know and accept Jesus?
When we follow the nudge, we live in the F.O.G. (favor of God). And living in God's favor won't prevent bad things from happening in our lives, but supernaturally, we're able to experience the JOY of the Lord in the midst of hard things.
If you're worried about your ability to share the gospel, keep in mind that the Lord is the one who prepares and opens people's hearts. He saves, we don't. We can just be open to however he may need to use us to speak to someone.
80 some percent of unchurched people are open to the fact that God is real, they just need someone to tell them about him. And of those 80%, most have at least one Christian that they deeply trust.
