What Shall I Do Lord? | Acts 22:10-16 | Psalm 25 | 05-31-2026 | Pastor Joe

Sermon Summary: Focuses on the transformative testimony of the Apostle Paul (Saul) and his complete surrender to Christ's lordship. Pastor Joe emphasizes that Christianity is not about religion but about a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The message centers on the importance of not just hearing God's word but actively obeying it. Using Paul's encounter on the road to Damascus, the sermon illustrates how God has a specific plan and purpose for each believer's life, chosen before the foundations of the world. Pastor Joe stresses that God blesses obedience over religious activity, and that true joy and fulfillment come from walking in God's will. The sermon challenges believers to daily ask, "What shall I do, Lord?" and to step out of their comfort zones in faith, trusting that God will use broken, humble vessels for His glory.
