About this listen

 This sermon centers on the encounter between Paul and Governor Felix, highlighting how Felix, despite being well-informed about Christianity and confronted with the gospel's core truths—sin, righteousness, and judgment—responded not with repentance but with delay and greed. Though Paul's message stirred alarm in Felix, revealing his guilt before God, Felix chose to postpone repentance, hoping for personal gain and comfort, ultimately rejecting the grace presented. The preacher emphasizes that conviction of sin does not guarantee repentance, and that delaying faith is not merely imprudent but a dangerous presumption that dishonors God's sovereignty. Drawing from Felix's tragic example, the sermon calls listeners to immediate surrender to Christ, warning against the deception of thinking salvation can be postponed or bargained for, and affirms that true faith is not a future possibility but a present necessity, grounded in the resurrection and eternal hope secured through Christ.
