The Spirit Suffered Them Not

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of supernaturally informed decision-making through the Apostle Paul's experience in Acts 16, emphasizing the tension between divine guidance and human wisdom. It highlights the reality of walking by faith, not by sight, and warns against the dangers of seeking certainty or signs over biblical wisdom. The message encourages believers to rely primarily on Scripture and wisdom while recognizing that God’s guidance often comes with ambiguity and requires courage. The story of Paul and Silas in Macedonia illustrates that even apostles faced uncertainty and suffering despite divine intervention.
