Have you ever felt stuck—even while trying to do something good for God?

In this inspiring message from Acts 16, Matthew Balentine explores Paul’s second missionary journey and the unexpected moment when the Holy Spirit shuts the door on Paul’s plans. Through this story, we’re reminded that even our best intentions may not always align with God's will—but His redirection always leads to something greater.

This sermon challenges us to:

Recognize when God is leading us into a new season

Stay faithful even when our plans change

Trust the Spirit’s guidance when things no longer “work”

Discover how one simple act of obedience can open doors for others

Paul thought he was going back to familiar places—but God had Macedonia in mind. What might He be preparing in your life?

🧭 Whether you’re facing a season of transition, decision-making, or spiritual uncertainty, this message will encourage you to pause, listen, and follow God’s lead—even when it means changing course.
