Su Ngak Pimbaal 5:42

The Ripple Effect is the impact and effect of the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus upon the world, and especially upon the Church. In the Great commission Jesus gave us a command to go, and through this devotional we will explore how the Church is purposed to gather and then to scatter in fulfilling this mission.

In 50 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover the essential question Paul asked the Lord while he was traveling to Damascus: "What shall I do, Lord?" Have you ever asked yourself, What difference am I making with my life? On some level, we all struggle to find our own answer to that fundamental question. The search for significance is the underlying motivation for virtually all human activity.

Acts has an implied question: To whom are you loyal? King Jesus or the powers that be? This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Based on the sermon Called to Witness by Lwazi Dekeda, this 5-day devotional journey through Acts 1:8 calls believers back to the heart of Christian identity. Jesus did not merely call us to do witnessing; He called us to be His witnesses. Through the promise of power, the Person of the Holy Spirit, the identity of the witness, and the places where testimony must begin and extend, this plan encourages believers to live with courage, authenticity, and Spirit-filled conviction in the home, workplace, community, and world.
