Sermon in a sentence:  God has a plan to prepare you for Kingdom impact.

The four stages that lead us to Kingdom impact—

I.       Stage #1:  Spiritual preparation—a maturing Christian.

• Jerusalem—Galatians 1:13-14

• Damascus—Galatians 1:15-16a

• Arabia—Galatians 1:16b-17

Spiritual growth is the foundation for all lasting impact

II.      Stage #2:  Ministry preparation—a ministering Christian.

• Antioch—Acts 13:1-3

You can only learn to do ministry by doing ministry.

III.     Stage #3:  Missional activity—a missional Christian.

• Asia Minor and Greece—Acts 14:21-27

God's Great Commission should involve each of us.

IV.     Stage #4:  Kingdom impact—a multiplying Christian.

• Rome—Philippians 1:12-14

Following God allows Him to lead us to the place where our Kingdom impact 

multiplies.
