Fallout - Week 3
2026-04-22
In Week 3 of "Fallout," Pastor Jacob Carr explores Acts 4 and 5, where the Gospel proves to be both disruptive and "annoying" to the world. Discover why suffering for Jesus is a sign of being in the center of His will.
In the third installment of the "Fallout" series, Student Pastor Jacob Carr digs into Acts chapters 4 and 5 to discuss the radical and often "annoying" nature of the Gospel. Picking up after the healing of the lame beggar, the message focuses on the reaction of the religious elite, who were "greatly annoyed" because the Gospel disrupted their traditions and challenged their control. Pastor Jacob dismantles the common misconception that a life following Jesus should be smooth and comfortable; instead, he argues that facing struggle and opposition is often a clear indicator that a believer is exactly in the center of God’s will. The message highlights the "boldness" of Peter and John—uneducated, common men who were recognized simply because they "had been with Jesus". Pastor Jacob challenges students to stop trying to "blend in" with the culture and instead pray for boldness rather than rescue. Drawing on the apostles' response to persecution, he explains that Christians should rejoice when counted worthy to suffer for the name of Jesus, as true comfort is found in closeness to Him rather than in safe circumstances. The evening concludes with a direct invitation for both quiet Christians to live loudly and for non-believers to boldly surrender their lives to the Savior who conquered death.
