The Book of Acts changes our view of what being a Christian looks like
Forced to leave home base, the Christians all became missionaries. Wherever they were scattered, they preached the Message about Jesus. Acts 8:4
It is possible for us today to live like they did in the Book of Acts?
• They were Born Again
• They were Born Again
• They were all filled with the Holy Spirit
• They continued to be filled with the Holy Spirit
• They continued to be filled with the Holy Spirit
• The Holy Spirit equipped them to do the work of spreading the gospel
• They were united in heart and soul – in one accord
• They were a practical, loving community sharing everything they had
• There were offerings, tithes, a community that loved and worked together
• There was a feeling of belonging, acceptance and care• Everyone was involved in ministry and mission
• They were outnumbered - so are we
• The DNA of the Book of Acts was to take the message everywhere and to do it together.
• The DNA of the Book of Acts was to take the message everywhere and to do it together.
• Church planting, missions, evangelism – everyone was involved TOGETHER.
• Isolation from fellowship is the devil's device – Do NOT forsake the assembling of yourselves together.
We need one another, we can't do it alone.
We are not filled with the Holy Spirit if we don't go beyond self help and wellness. We must look beyond ourselves. The Holy Spirit came to help us. Help others.
Joy, peace, contentment in this life is found in doing God's work. If you wait until conditions are perfect to work, the work will never get done.
What hours of your work would you consider to be Book of Acts living hours?Everything in your life should be interconnected with Jesus. Maybe we have been focusing too much on home base and not looking outside our personal world. Jesus said to labor until He comes. Be missionaries for the Gospel.
Ministry Time:
1) Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?2) Have you been baptized in water?3) Are you been filled with the Holy Spirit since you believed?4) Are you in need of a healing? Ask the group to pray for you?5) Do you realize that you are Jesus' plan for this world?6) What will change in your life because of this message?
