In a sermon on Acts 14, titled, “A Tale of Three Cities,” Gary Vanderet of Peninsula Bible Church Cuppertino said:
The simple, unsophisticated message of Jesus and his love is what changes lives. Paul wrote in Romans 1:16, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation.” There is no other message with the inherent authority, beauty, and life-changing truth as the gospel of God’s grace. The only thing that can change the heart of a man or woman is the good news about Jesus. Without it, people are left to grope after a sense of meaning and significance.
