When God poured out his Spirit on all the disciples, they all began to share the Gospel with anyone that would listen.

The believers in the early church were willing to sell their possessions for the sake of meeting the needs of others. This flowed from the “generous hearts” that God had created in them.

We too are called by God to go where it might not be comfortable and welcome people different than us into His kingdom.

In the early church there were disagreements. They solved these disagreements by seeking God’s will together and then respecting those in authority God had placed over them.

Share the Good News, no matter how difficult the challenge or how high the cost.

The disciples in the early church did not devise a strategic plan or follow a careful set of church growth principles.

The early church was less like the social organization we call the “church” today and more like a family. That fact should still shape the church today.

Many believe the battle is primarily defensive: I go about my life ready whenever Satan attacks. But Jesus describes our mission as offensive: we are part of an army designed to beat down the gates of hell wherever we encounter them in our world

God has equipped us to face the accusations and physical attacks of the Devil…so that when he accuses us or seeks to harm us, we won’t give in to fear or dismay.
