Acts

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.

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 

This devotional emphasizes the importance of each individual's role in advancing God's kingdom. Throughout the devo we hope to draw parallels between physical growth and spiritual growth, highlighting that change is necessary for continued development. Using the early church as an example, this devo illustrates how delegating responsibilities and involving all believers in ministry leads to church growth and kingdom advancement. We hope it encourages you to discover and utilize your unique gifts for God's purposes, both within the church and your daily lives.

Everyone Plays a Part

Jesus ascended to heaven forty days after his resurrection. During that time He appeared to His followers, saying, “I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." Waiting can be difficult. Behind closed doors, praying and waiting for the gift of the Spirit… for ten days. God is up to something!

Until the Spirit Comes

Join pastor Randy Frazee for this six-day devotional in the book of Acts. This devotional is based on Frazee's study Acts: The Revolution of Faith.

Acts: The Revolution of Faith

Missional living is not self-powered or self-directed. It’s not about seeing a challenge, gearing up, and running toward it all on your own strength. That way lies sure disillusionment and even bitterness. Missional living is 100% empowered by the gifts of the Holy Spirit — his power, presence, provision, and perspective. In this 5-day plan, we’ll look at how the first disciples and apostles learned to live missional lives shaped by the gifts that Jesus gave them through his Spirit.

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

(Part four 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.
