Acts 9:31-43; 1 Peter 2:9 — The early believers were known as ‘saints’. Whilst today the word saint is uncommon or even misunderstood, for those who are in Christ, ’saints' is our position and identity - those with a holy call, set apart for the Lord and His purposes, and walking in the same manner as Jesus did. Our call and identity as saints must have an impact on how we live, and carries with it the privilege of proclaiming the excellencies of our God and King.

Acts 9:1-19 — The book of Acts could be viewed as a book full of “suddenly” moments - there are miracles, dramatic moments, thousands and thousands being saved. But the early church was marked by both “suddenlies" and “steadilies".  We can all relate to circumstances in our lives where we long to experience a “suddenly” God moment, or even times when we have encountered a “suddenly” and would much prefer a “steadily”. The apostle Paul’s seeming sudden conversion teaches us much about trusting in and being strengthened by God’s choice of pace for our lives.

Acts 8:4-13; 26-40 — The early church was one that was moving forward and taking ground from the enemy. How do we contribute to Christ’s church continuing to do this today? As we look at the life of Philip the evangelist and the way God worked through him powerfully, we see that there is a call for us to be steadfast and faithful to God’s mission, to live authentic lives of faith, and to be led by the Spirit.

John 20:1-23 — The resurrection of Jesus from the dead has such significance for us. The heart of Resurrection Sunday, and what it proclaims over our lives, is that there is an unshakeable truth that we can build our lives upon; that sin and death have no hold or power because of the victory that Jesus has accomplished; and that we have an endless, living hope in Him. He is risen indeed!
