Acts

Life can be hard and messy. Without a lifeline, it is easy to get overwhelmed and buried in all of the chaos. The early church was devoted to gathering. They recognized if they were going to survive, they needed a lifeline.  That lifeline came by gathering, linking arms, and leaning in. In this 5-day plan, we explore the lifelines of the early church and how they help us today.  

Lifelines That Last

There is a dynamic, dead-raising power on the inside of you. Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke has penned some strong teachings on the Holy Spirit for you and has written dynamic Points of Power on the Holy Spirit. This 7 Day Study will challenge your thinking on the Holy Spirit and inspire you to believe in the amazing power of the Spirit within you.

Holy Spirit: Are We Flammable Or Fireproof?

Following Jesus means becoming like Jesus, especially in the face of evil. Stephen in the book of Acts gives us a picture. 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.

Acts 7:54-8:3 | Imitating Jesus

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.

The Ripple Effect

The book of Acts reveals the power of God at work through the Apostles and other individuals who would turn the world upside down with the Christian movement. This study will help you understand the importance of the Holy Spirit at work in your life and recognize that God’s children can do the extraordinary work of Jesus Christ when yielded to his will and power. 

The Birth of the Christian Church

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.

The Essential Question (Part 1): The Church Is Born

(Part two of a four part journey through the Books of Acts.) 

Even in (and especially in?) hard times, God is present and is working to build His Church. We can find encouragement in this.

When circumstances force us to pivot, we don’t have to lose heart - God is with us. 

Scattered

Join us for a quick, three-day reflection on what happened on Pentecost and in the first few chapters of Acts. You will discover the purpose of the church and be invited into the mission of God.

Pentecost: Understanding This Important Day 

What happens when God’s people pray? How ready are you to stop what you are doing and minister to someone in need? Or to justify the way you live to others? How about when situations are difficult? How do we respond? In this study, we’ll dive into a story in Acts to see how God worked in an unexpected situation and how it applies to us today.
