“Chained In Obedience” (Acts 21:15-36)

What if following Christ led you into suffering instead of comfort — would you still obey? In “Chained in Obedience,” Pastor Josiah unpacks Paul’s costly journey to Jerusalem in Acts 21:15–36 — a story that reminds us that following Christ faithfully does not guarantee comfort, favor, or safety. Paul’s obedience led him into chains, not away from them. Yet through those chains, God advanced the gospel and displayed His sovereignty. Paul’s example calls believers to embrace the truth that faithful obedience often includes suffering, and that despite persecution God’s plan still succeeds! The same Lord who ruled over Paul’s prison cell reigns over every trial we face today, turning our suffering into a testimony of His grace and power.
