Magnolia's First Baptist Church

“Darkness to Light” - Part 3 - August 15, 2021 “Showdown with a False Prophet” - Acts 13:1-12 Dr. Ed Seay, Magnolia’s First Baptist Church Today’s Big Idea - “We must have God’s power to do God’s work.”   God calls all of us to be His witnesses but  He calls some to become missionary evangelists.   When God calls some to a specific missionary assignment,  the church is to endorse and support them.   God’s call may be to a specific location, a particular region  or an itinerant ministry that impacts numerous areas.   When taking the gospel to a new location, the missionaries look for ways to make relational and spiritual connections.   When doing missionary work, the enemy will not sit idly by. He will oppose God’s work intensely and powerfully.   If we try to fight a spiritual battle without the Holy Spirit’s  power, we will be overmatched and overpowered.   When God’s power is victorious through His people, it is a compelling witness to those who are considering the gospel.   People
