Acts 1:8 (CSB)
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

John 15:18-20 & 23, 16:1-4

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also… Whoever hates me hates my Father as well... All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them.

OVERARCHING THEMES IN ACTS:1. WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER2. WE GATHER TO SCATTER3. WE MUST FEAR GOD OVER MAN Acts 5:14-16 NKJVAnd believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the...

This is the most lavish display of love—that the Creator of heaven and earth sent His only Son to save His creation. We repeatedly rejected Him while helplessly trying to fill the God-sized void. But we chose things that would never satisfy or save us. And that Son, called Jesus, willingly laid down His life and died for our sins. Through His perfect sacrifice, we now have access to the gifts of salvation, freedom, and adoption into God’s family.

Acts 6:1–7 NIV

In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.

ACTS 4:13 NLT The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.” But what exactly does that mean, especially when it comes to living out Jesus’ call to be light in a dark world and, ultimately, to make disciples wherever we go? Tune in to discover the power of preparation and what it looks like to live prepared for whatever, and whoever, God sends along our path as we journey with Him.

What does it mean to be a part of the family of God? What does it look like to live together in unity, loving one another day after day? Lean in with us as we remember God’s design for the Church and consider how life in Godly community can transform us and the world around us.
