When the good news of Jesus shows up in a community it disrupts the lives of those who accept it and those who reject it.

(Acts 19:23-41)

When God’s supernatural power is on display in the world it is often accepted, sometimes rejected, and occasionally counterfeited.

Genuine faith helps us grow as folllowers of Jesus and be an effective witness to those around us. When we surrender to the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives, He can transform us from the inside so that our outward actions reflect someone who walks with Jesus.

Pentecost Sunday is a reminder that the Holy Spirit is real and transformational. Acts 19:1-7 teaches us that this power is a gift, is for everyone, and is supernatural.

To fulfill God’s calling on our lives we must embrace humility and cooperation while learning from and sharing with others.

God can use your everyday conversations to build bridges from culture to Christ.

Pastor Sean Mullarkey is the Lead Pastor of St Mark’s Church in Dublin, Ireland. He encouraged us that no matter what we are facing we are not consumed because of God’s great love for us.

The scriptures shape our character, guide our decisions, and lead us into experiences of transformation and unity.

Acts 17:1-9 teaches us that the Gospel is transformation because it is reliable. The resurrection power of Jesus is more than a subjective experience, it is an objective truth that transforms our lives.
