Can the Gospel ever be thwarted? Can God ever fail? Can the Christian trust that God will see His Will accomplished?

Robbie Tschorn answers these questions and more in the sermon “God Cannot Be Stopped” (Acts 5:12-42).

Because of this, the Believer can have confident trust in the Lord - not letting worry over take them - and be empowered by the fact that God can and will use them to accomplish His will.
