Scott, started following Jesus at 24 from a life drugs, illicit sex and all that goes with it. He believed in Jesus but was not interested in following. It is possible to be believing the right things and in the right God but living in the wrong path. So one day after a close shave with death Scott decided to follow Jesus and soon was hired to stand on the corner of a street and talk to people about Jesus. It is on that corner one day that the Holy Spirit gave him a simple tool, Jesus at the door, that can be used to share Jesus with anyone.
At the table of communion we meet a vulnerable God. Open enough to tell us that he has longed to share it with us and open in u story say that he wants us to always remember him.
The early church devoted itself to generosity. It was radical, habitual and spontaneous. They gave to everyone and anyone. They even sold possessions so that they could have something to give to those in need.
The early church did everything they could to devote themselves to the teachings of the apostles. This is what shaped their worldview. How they saw the God, others and themselves.
There are some people who have shape dour history significantly, precisely because they were reliant on and dependent on God's word.
We are living through a season that will definitely shape our generation. If the church is going to live out it's Kingdom of God mandate, we must as well do all it takes to see that our worldview is shaped by God's word. We must devote ourselves to God's word.

Pastor Edgar interviews Alexander Venter a pastor and church planter and author of the book 'Doing Reconciliation' birthed out work done by both black and white pastors across South Africa and Vineyard South Africa during and in the wake of Apartheid.
How should everyday believers and Christian leader both around the world and in Africa bring racial and tribal reconciliation?
At pentecost, the Holy Spirit was poured in such a powerful way that it gave birth to the church. And every other time the Holy Spirit fell on them or falls on us (the church) there is alway something big happening. Something is always born. One other such times was at Antioch where the disciples were first called Christians, 'Little-Christs".
Yet the context of all these outpouring was the church gathered in unity. Every tongue, tribe and nation, women and men and every race. The church was devoted to, given to, committed to, doing everything possible to united. Every tongue, tribe, nation and race. This is the context in which the Holy Spirit is poured out in such power.
In days where division is rife ethnic and racial division is rife, will and the church today choose to do everything it takes? Where the silent and unbothered speak out for the weak, where the powerful step back and speak welcome. Will we do all it takes to see our churches together gathered every tongue, tribe, nation and race as one.
