First Church heard the call to missions because they worshiped. They were in tune with God, expecting a work of the Holy Spirit. When He showed up, they knew it. Then, the Holy Spirit led the mission. The Holy Spirit leads all believers.

Too often, Christians do not utilize our best, and only, source of power for the Christlike life. It's there, ready to be used, but we leave it untapped. The First Church tapped into that power.

A nickname often describes who we are. When the believers in the Antioch church were called "Christians," it was a result of what the people around them saw. Is your life such that you are able To Be Called Christian?

Racism, bigotry, prejudice, and other forms or racial or national superiority are not of God. They are sin. Peter wasn't just called to share the gospel with those he thought were "less than," but to love them, fellowship with them, and call them brothers and sisters. Jesus kills prejudice.

When an unbeliever turns to Jesus, they are made new. Everything about them is now different. Some changes are gradual, some are immediate, but nothing is the same. The changes should mark them. These changes are radical.

There is no distance grace through Jesus Christ will travel to save you. No sin too great. No life too troubled. No race, no ethnicity, no country that He is not for.

When God invites us to join Him, He's already working. When God shows us where He's working, that's our invitation to join Him. Look for where God is working and join Him there. These three statements from Experiencing God describe Phillip.

Often, a negative situation will lead us to make positive changes. That happened to First Church. God uses suffering in our lives to push us to be obedient to what He has already told us to do.

Decisions are hard. And decisions have consequences. We decide daily if we will follow Christ or if we will follow the devil. Those are the only two choices. Some choose well and some choose poorly.

Most of the persecution and turmoil that a church faces will not come from outside, but from inside. That is Satan's preferred method to attack the body of Christ.
