Godspeak Calvary Chapel

Pastor Micah Stephens preaches from Acts 24, urging believers to embrace the whole counsel of God with unwavering obedience, even in the face of persecution. Reflecting on Paul’s trial before Governor Felix, he contrasts the flattery of Paul’s accuser, Tertullus, with Paul’s bold, Spirit-led defense of the gospel. Pastor Micah connects Paul’s resolve to his own commitment to proclaim truth, referencing his Ventura County Star interview and Pastor Rob’s fearless preaching. He challenges the congregation to reject the temptation to delay obedience for a “convenient time,” emphasizing that righteousness, self-control, and impending judgment demand immediate action. Amid personal concerns like the Epstein files and global injustices, he encourages steadfast faith, trusting God’s plans over worldly comfort, to secure an eternal legacy.Verse References: Acts 24 verses 10–27, Acts 20 verses 26–27, Proverbs 20 verses 22–23, Mark 13 verse 11, Matthew 5 verse 11, Philippians 3 verse 8, John 16 verse 33, Hebrews 9 verse
