I love Acts chapter 2!
Scripture - Acts 2:47b "And the lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
Observation - The move of the Holy Spirit is simply amazing in this chapter. Along with that, the faith of the Apostle's is equally amazing. What I love about it is that these guys weren't constrained by any preconceived notions of how the Spirit moves, they just went with it.
Application - When I read this, my first reaction is "I wish I could have been there for that!" But that's not the right one. My initial reaction should be one of expectation, praying and longing to see God do that in the world today - in BridgeWay today.
Prayer - Dear Lord, help me to have faith like the Apostles. Help me not to have preconceived notions about how you are going to move or on the scale you are going to move. But help me to have Acts 2 expectations of what you want to do in your church. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Looking forward to this 28 day journey with you. I pray for our church to be an Acts 2 type church where God is adding to our number daily those who are being saved!
Absolutely! The same God at work in the Bible is the same one at work here. That's good news!
