Whether it’s in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, Manchester or Windsor, it’s always the gospel that must be proclaimed. And the conversion of souls and the hope of eternal life provide all the motivation that we need to remain faithful to the gospel mission, even in the midst of persecution.

Through the faithful, Spirit-empowered preaching of the good news of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, God will build His church, adding to their number day by day those who are being saved, resulting in a community that demonstrates a radical, divinely-given, love for one another.

God empowers us through the gift of the Holy Spirit and the certainty of the resurrection to be witnesses of the Kingdom and proclaimers of the gospel. The book of Acts is a historical account of the initial restoration of that Kingdom, but we are called to be on-going witnesses until Christ returns.

God tells his redeemed people that he will never leave us nor forsake us. This great and very precious promise has the power to free us from the love of money and be content with what we have, as we run with endurance the race set before us all the way to glory!

Those who are humble are given the promise they will be exalted. To be lifted up is to be like our Savior, Jesus Christ, and to purse humility is to war against pride. Those who purse Christlikeness are those who pursue humility, both in salvation and sanctification.

When our futures seem unclear, and we are unaware of what lies ahead, we are prone to fear the future. However, in the face of fear, Christians must trust that the Lord will uphold His people. So, we must admit our need, consider the Lord Jesus, and cling to our all-wise God.

Jesus clearly demonstrates that we can live free from anxiety because we have a Heavenly Father who knows us intimately and has promised to provide our every need if we have a heart that prioritizes doing God's will and obeying His commands.

Our hearts are tempted to believe that God is stingy and withholds good from us, which leads us to doubt His plans and purposes. Therefore, Christians must fight against doubt by trusting God’s unwavering promises as we cling to our greatest good, the Lord Jesus Christ.

God’s people are his treasured possession. By his power, He is fulfilling his promise to make them into a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Obedience is the path to realizing God’s purpose for our lives.
