“The Scripture Had To Be Fulfilled”

We continue our journey through the Unstoppable series, focusing on Acts 1, where the early church is forming and the disciples are navigating a strange in-between—Jesus has ascended, but the Holy Spirit hasn’t yet come. Pastor Josh Barker unpacks the weight of Judas’s betrayal, showing how what looked like failure and treachery was actually fulfillment of Scripture and part of God’s redemptive plan.

Through Psalms 41 and 69, and Zechariah 11, we see that even the darkest human actions cannot derail God’s purposes. Pastor Josh reminds us that God’s sovereignty trumps all human failure, that the story isn’t ruined, and that the Author isn’t finished—He’s still at work in our lives.

Main Point: The story isn’t ruined because the Author isn’t finished.
