Acts 9:31; 12:24; 13:52; 16:5
You may not know the whole story of Acts, but flip through the headings and see what's going on. You'll see stonings, persecutions, and danger. Yet look at today's verses. These are like chapter markers in the book of Acts showing how the gospel continued to spread. No matter what happened, the Church continued to grow and thrive. Why? Because God was with them. God never said following Jesus would be easy, but God did say he'd be with us. As the hardships increased for the early Church, the power of God sustained them and ever helped them to grow stronger. The same can be true for us today. When we seek to serve God together and refuse to let circumstances stop up, we can count on the power of God to make our lives and church we just as powerful.
What obstacles have hindered you church or youth group?
Are these insurmountable problems?
Ask God to empower your church as the churches in Acts were empowered.
