An Acts church looks like...
The Book of Acts Is Still Disturbing November 12, 2008
God is continuing to rock my world on my journey through Acts…here are a few things that are standing out to me personally.
* The church had to let go of the comfortable and the familiar in order to fully follow Jesus and advance HIS Gospel.
* The church was passionately obsessed with seeing more and more people come to faith in Christ.
* The message of the church was Jesus…nothing political or social, they didn’t try to legislate morality…simply Jesus!
* God kept raising up gifted leaders who were willing to embrace their calling…one group of people were not expected to do it all…and when people embraced God’s calling on their lives–the church grew!
* The people in the church were willing to work hard AND beg God to intervene on their behalf.

Pretty unpopular position these days in the organized church... "The message of the church was Jesus…nothing political or social, they didn’t try to legislate morality…simply Jesus!". How would we look to the rest of the world if our only agenda was "Jesus"?
Popularity is fleeting. It takes those who see through the fog to lead such a change. It has nothing worldly to offer. Rather eternal kingdom rewards. It is still the only message that delivers! "Jesus"
