The Daily Discipleship Podcast

When God pours out His Spirit, movements can begin.

Peter's message wasn't fancy or long, but it was infused with the Spirit's Power. The Gospel is powerful because it is God's message of redemption energized by the Holy Spirit.  We can all be confident when communicating the Gospel.

The new converts committed themselves to practices that would provide community for them and leave impact on the world, resulting in an ongoing movement. Movement defined as 4 generations deep, 1000 or more people, and Transformation of individuals, organizations, and cultures.

As we move through our plans, God often provides opportunities to share the Gospel, a word of encouragement, or a prayer with someone. What is our response when those opportunities arise?

The movement continues to grow, and the Power behind their witness is again underscored - the power of the Holy Spirit and the Name of Jesus.

What happened in Acts 2, 4, 5, and beyond occurred not just in public places but also HOUSE TO HOUSE.  Bringing the Gospel outside the walls of church buildings into our homes to be shared with others is key to creating movements of multiplication. 

I like to point people to these two chapters combined so they can see what the community of believers was like and the resultant impact.  How can we change in the modern era to more fully reflect the sense of community and the results of that community right here, right now?

Not only were wonderful signs being performed by the Apostles, but God was also giving very poignant warnings to the Church about her accountability.
