This week we jumped into the scripture that gave us the Corner Card, Mark 5 as Jesus heals the man known as the "demoniac." Jesus heals a very lonely guy. This man then wants to go follow his new friend and mentor Jesus. But Jesus tells him, "No, you need to go home instead." This seems very cold from Jesus, "Have a heart Lord!" This man probably felt some serious FOMO. But upon further investigation, Jesus wasn't keeping him out but sending him out so others wouldn't miss out. 

As we have been talking about in our series through Acts, Jesus does not want us to remain forever in the church building or the church bubble. Instead, He sends us out into the wild on the most exciting journey to share our faith with not just the world, but "our world." This week we talked about how to do that, as we walked through the Corner Card in a message called "Fix My FOMO."

The story of study for this week lets us witness perhaps the most radical transformation in human history. Saul the murderer, becomes Paul, the guy who wrote 1 Corinthians 13 that teaches us that "Love never fails." Same guy. That's ridiculous. Surely the budget to renovate Saul's soul was much too large to anyone not named Jesus (or Stephen). But how did it happen? 

Often in life we love the idea of transformation. We get excited about renovating our house, our body, our budget, etc. But then we find how much work and sacrifice will need to go into it and... we don't always want the change so badly anymore. Often we want the life of Jesus without the lifestyle of Jesus, what it takes to actually get there. This week we jumped into Acts 9 and talked all about it in a message I am calling "How We Transform."

I wonder if you can remember a time when you were lost? When I was younger I thought it would be funny to hide from my mom in the clothing rack at the mall, but when I jumped out to scare her she was gone and panic filled my little heart. I yelled out for her, I ran around looking, I literally thought in that moment I would never see her again. It is an emotion I can still feel when i relive it. Maybe you don't have that kind story, but at some point we all experience that sense of isolation, loneliness, fear of being cut off, and wondering if anyone will find us. 

Years later I had a similar, but different kind of fear when one of my kids went missing in a store. Every worst case scenario rushed through my brain, and I began to frantically rush around yelling out my child's name. I didn't care who I offended, what I looked like to others, I only cared about finding my lost child. And when I found the, joy flooded my heart as I picked them up and embraced them-my son who was lost was now safe! 
This week in Acts 8 God reveals His heart for any that are lost and need to come home.

Perhaps the most-like-Jesus of any character we study in the New Testament, and also one of the most relatable, is Stephen the Martyr. This guy is not an apostle, not a preacher, church planter, prayer warrior, and has no impressive resume or skills that we know about. And yet, because of his choice to forgive in Acts 7, he becomes more like Jesus than perhaps anyone else. Why? Because...

We're never more like Jesus than when we forgive. 

But the truth is, forgiveness is hard. How do we forgive those who have hurt us the most? How do we forgive people who don't deserve it? How do we forgive people who haven't changed and who aren't even asking for forgiveness? This Sunday we will jump into all of it, as we together study what the Bible says about forgiving, and the freedom that comes with it.

Are you good at math? This is a complicated question because there are many types of math.

But the type of math that can be hardest for us to understand in this life is what we will call, in this week's message, "God Math." We see in the beginning of Acts, as the church begins, that God adds to their number daily. We see God multiply their faith in others. This type of math is exciting! But in Acts 5 we see God introduce a new kind of math to his church: Subtraction. 

Even though we love when God adds and multiplies, the truth is God often uses subtraction to move our lives forward. God does not mind cutting out anything or anyone in our lives that is holding us back from bearing the kind of fruit he likes. We will dive head first into this idea as we study one of the most jarring and hard-to-understand stories in all of the New Testament: Ananias and Sapphira.
