And Saul approved of their killing him. That day a severe persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout the countryside of Judea and Samaria. Devout men buried Stephen and made loud lamentation over him. But Saul was ravaging the church by entering house after house; dragging off both men and women, he committed them to prison. Now those who were scattered went from place to place, proclaiming the word. Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah to them. The crowds with one accord listened eagerly to what was said by Philip, hearing and seeing the signs that he did, for unclean spirits, crying with loud shrieks, came out of many who were possessed; and many others who were paralyzed or lame were cured. So there was great joy in that city.

How do we trust God? How do we narrow the gap between the way we want to live and the way we act it out? Every one of us faces trials and troubles. None of us are strangers to uncertainty or fear or the kind of opposition that can threaten to overwhelm us. Yet the story does not end there. It never does. God’s arms are wide open to every one of us…
Are you ruled by rules or by your relationship with Jesus? There’s a big difference between the two, and how you answer can hugely impact how non-believers view you. In this 5-day reading plan, Pete Briscoe teaches from the Bible about why we need to shelf our religious rules and use love to introduce people to Christ.
Every year, we come together as a church to pray and fast for God to be made known. As we trust Him, we are called to preach His word and expect His miraculous power to change lives. This family devotional is designed to be used by parents with children from ages two to twelve.
