Missions: Go

You can believe all the right things and still feel like the power behind your faith went missing somewhere along the way. This message gets specific about why that happens — and the one decision that actually changes it.

Built around the Great Commission, Pastor Antonio Barboza makes an uncomfortable case: most of us have quietly settled into being spectators. We show up, we believe, we watch from the seats. But the power described in Scripture was never meant for spectators — it's for witnesses, for people willing to go and live their faith out loud right where they already are. From there the message traces how authority and power actually get released in an ordinary life — tied to sacrifice and obedience rather than talent — what the word "power" in Acts really means, and how that same power shows up as strength to endure hard seasons and gifts to serve the people around you. It's anchored by a raw, firsthand account of a hospital-bed healing during Covid that turns the whole idea from theory into testimony.

Scriptures referenced in this episode: Matthew 28:16–20, Acts 1:4–9, Matthew 6:33, John 16:33, Psalm 150:6, John 4:34–35.
