God desires to speak to us daily through the Holy Spirit, but how do we make sure we can hear him? Scott looks at an example in Acts 13 of the church listening and obeying to help us learn.

Acts 12 shows God's miraculous and swift intervention in the persecution of his church.

We follow the spread of the gospel to the Gentiles in Antioch and explore Barnabas and Paul's roles in growing the church there.

How do God's people respond to the gospel's revolutionary inclusion of the Gentiles?

In watching Peter learn that the gospel is intended for all peoples, we see how the Holy Spirit shifts our priorities to align with God's heart.

Ministry in the early church regularly included miraculous signs and healings. If we want to experience similar movement from the Holy Spirit in our communities today, we have to trust, expect, and fully rely on the power of God.

In looking at the interaction between Simon the Magician, Philip, and the apostles, we see the danger in pursuing God for his gifts and power rather than for the love of his Son.
