We see the Church's early struggle and response to persecution and false religion trying to attack externally.

How does the Gospel spread even with persecution? How do you participate in global mission?

The early Church suffered a great deal of persecution from external forces, but it also struggled greatly with the sin and dissension accompanied by any group of sinners in need of a savior.

Since God has boldly worked miracles throughout history, we should boldly proclaim His deeds, expecting Him to work boldly in the most difficult of circumstances.

Does the portrait of the early church inspire you? Are you devoted to the same things these Christians were?

Why do we rarely regard the Ascension of Christ and the commissioning of his people, this moment which served as the catalyst for the greatest movement in human history?

What is your role in the mission to make Christ known? What holds you back? Who can you pray for to know Christ?

Since God has redeemed us, he has claim on us. We no longer seek our own desires, but the good of others and the glory of God.

Many people view prayer as a tool, to leverage wishes from God. The Bible shows us that prayer is a way to converse with our loving Father, and come to know Him more deeply and truly.

Often, we see the law as a burden and don't like the way it convicts us. In Nehemiah, however, we are told to find joy in the law because, "the joy of the LORD is your strength."
