See That Face (Acts 6:1-15). The work of ministry is not just for pastors, but for any who will be full of faith. The more ordinary disciples witness to Jesus the more people will be drawn. Are you willing to stand up to the lies and deceits of this society to speak the joy of Christ?

Cheerfully Disobedient Witnesses (Acts 5:27-42). The apostles were sternly ordered to keep quiet about the risen Jesus. What keeps you quiet about the gospel of Jesus? Should you consider that the One who raised Jesus from the dead might be better to obey than this wretched world?

Jealousy of Haters (Acts 5:12-26). The preaching and faith of the Gospel brings new life and people’s lives are being healed. The opponents of Jesus are jealous of the apostles they hate. After being jailed, God sends right back out to the same place to tell about this new life.

Who’s Testing Who? (Acts 4:32-5:11). The disciples were of one heart and mind in Christ. As the power of resurrection worked in their lives God’s generous grace made them generous. If we hold back giving to God’s mission, who or what is filling our heart?

Space Shaking Prayer (Acts 4:13-31). The apostles confront and challenge the order of things by their humble faith. Disciples look for God to work even through the chaos and opposition of this wicked world. Are you willing to be shaken by your prayer with the Spirit?

Censoring Christ’s Healing (Acts 4:1-12). The folks running things want to shut down the apostles healing. They want to censor that that Salvation is found in Christ alone. Do you seek healing and power for your life in any authority other than Jesus Christ?

Beautiful Jumping Wonder (Acts 3:1-26). The power of the Holy and Righteous One who was crucified for us will purge us from sin and heal our lame lives. Will you repent and turn to God so you can be refreshed?

Cut Heart Challenge (Acts 2:37-47). Will you like the people in Jerusalem go from being in the crowd to becoming committed? Devoted to the faith changed their lives and blessed others. Do recognize the crucified and risen Jesus as your Savior and Lord?

Killing The God Accredited (Acts 2:22-36). This Jesus we rejected and thought death would silence. But God surprised us and raised him from the dead. We reject him as Lord, but God exalted. Do you make Jesus your Lord over your life?
