Acts 5:12-16 Pastor Nathan Francis emphasizes the importance of recognizing God's power and the reality of a world influenced by the divine, contrasting two ways of living: as functional naturalists or as believers in a mighty God. He uses the story of George Mueller, who showed unwavering faith in God's ability to control circumstances, as an example of how belief in God's greatness can transform our lives. The passage from Acts illustrates the apostles performing signs and wonders, serving as proof of their authority from God, leading to many conversions and healings. Ultimately, Pastor Nathan urges the congregation to move from a limited perception of God's capabilities to a deeper faith in His omnipotence, encouraging them to live with the expectancy that God can and does work in extraordinary ways. How do you know if you are living as a functional naturalist? 1. Imagine the scene 2. What are we to do with all this?
