Multiplying Disciples
Acts 5:14 (ESV) 14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,
Acts 2:41 (ESV) 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
Acts 2:47 (ESV) 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
Acts 4:4 (ESV) 4 But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.
Acts 6:7 (ESV) 7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
Acts 11:19-26 (ESV) 19 Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. 20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord. 22 The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose, 24 for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. 25 So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, 26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.
Romans 5:8 (ESV) 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.We are desperate to experience God’s love yet we are anything but desperate to share it with those who have not experienced it.

1 Timothy 2:3-4 (ESV) 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.God wants his people to give their lives so that many more of the lost will be saved
