To fear something and to be afraid of something are not entirely the same thing. The difference is in your relationship to them or their relationship to you. Why do we bring this up? Here’s why... The question we're then faced with isn’t: do we fear something or someone, the question is: Do we Fear God.

Guest teacher Jackie Glass takes us outside the book of Acts to look at God's strategy for movement. All throughout scripture, the method to God's plan for our movement is: first prepare... then move. This is evident in the life of Joshua, so let's turn back the pages and dive in.

So, how do we function as sent people when resistance to the name of Jesus occurs? How do we respond when following Jesus begins to cost us something - and it will - when we encounter resistance, fear, pain, as we find and follow Christ and help others do the same? We think Acts 4:23-31 has the answer. The Apostles Peter and John are shaken, and yet this produces an emotion that may surprise you.

We’re going to leave Acts for just a moment and travel back hundreds of years before the book of Acts, and the unleashing of the Holy Spirit, to the book of Joel. Why? Well, this minor prophet shared a mega promise for ALL people. And by "all people" we mean you. The question is, are you benching your unfair advantage?

The book of Acts can raise a LOT of really great questions; but perhaps the biggest one is: does God heal today? Well, through two observations in Acts 3:1-10 and a little help from the Alpha Film Series, we're confident there is a solid answer for all of us.

You've Got Some Explaining To Do by Mission Church

We pick up our Unleashed series today in Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost. To set the stage, Jesus has ASCENDED to heaven to take His place at the right hand of the Father and now, like He promised, the Spirit will DESCEND to empower and cloth His people with what He himself was empowered and clothed with. Only God could write a story like this. #MorePower #ComeHolySpirit

We are not aimed in a thousand directions, we are aimed in ONE direction. It's a direction called THE GREAT COMMISSION. The People of God, asking for a refilling of the Spirit of God to UNLEASH us with POWER to be His beating heart in the world. This is how Jesus did it and this is how Jesus still does it. Join us right here for the start of our journey through the book of Acts called: Unleashed! Oh, it's also Celebration Sunday! We reveal the total amount committed to Never The Same!

Of Fear & Faith by Mission Church
