The Sixth Man: Faithful in Waiting... Acts 24

Jun 14, 2026    Kent Smith

Acts 24 finds the Apostle Paul sidelined by circumstances beyond his control. Falsely accused, delayed by politics, and left waiting in custody for years, Paul could have become discouraged or bitter. Instead, he remained faithful, maintained his character, defended the truth with grace, and continued sharing the gospel whenever opportunities arose. In this message, The Sixth Man: Faithful in Waiting, we explore what it means to trust God's timing when life puts us on the bench but not out of the game. Through Paul's example, we learn that seasons of waiting are never wasted in God's hands. Whether facing setbacks, delays, injustice, or uncertainty, believers are called to stay ready, trust the Coach, and faithfully run the race God has set before them.
