There's more than one way to share the gospel. Last week, we saw Saul proclaiming Jesus in the streets. This week, we see Peter operating in miracles that opened hearts to receive the gospel. We, too, can operate in the miraculous. Let's find out how!

When God changes your life, it is natural to testify to what He was done. But what if you are rejected, hated, and persecuted? Friend, the problem isn't you; the problem is darkness. So, we must become brighter lights for Jesus in the midst of darkness.

In Acts 9, we meet the most unlikely evangelist in church history. Saul was on his way to destroy the work of Jesus. But instead, Jesus met Saul and redeemed every area of his life. It's unlikely, but that's how God works. He doesn't just do unlikely things, He chooses unlikely people and shifts their destiny. And He will do the same for you.

God is moving--not just at ALCC, but around the world!!

The detours God provides on our journey are strategically placed for divine appointments. Divine appointments reveal Jesus. Living boldly leads to divine opportunities to share Jesus. Do you see yourself as someone who has been sent? Are you posturing yourself for God's divine appointments in your life? How can you ready yourself for the next appointment He has for you?

Jesus turns the culture upside down, as he tells the crowd in Matthew 5: I see you; I get you; I choose you; I transform you. It is the same message for us today.

Have you ever been left on read? It is so frustrating to know that someone received your message but didn't bother responding. In today's sermon, we discover that we may have done the same thing to the Holy Spirit. He's been delivered, but it's up to us to respond.

We have opportunity to persevere through opposition. We can do that by keeping our eyes on Jesus. Turn your persecution into opportunity. Be careful notto give the devil a foothold by clinging to anger, bitterness, or unforgiveness toward the persecutor. Be about the father's business. Forced movement can produce intentional outreach.

All around us in noise, opposition, influence and even persecution. How do you stay true to living boldly with all that chaos? Today, we will examine the life of Stephen and learn how he got into the zone so he could focus on the right things.

We are called to be ready to give an answer for the hope that we have. In today's sermon, we will hear about a man who did just that. And when the time came, he stepped out boldly for Jesus. Let's learn to do the same: Be ready!
