8. Acts 1:8
8 But you will receive power when the
Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will
be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in
all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends
of the earth.”
9. Acts 2:4-8
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit
enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-
fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6
When they heard this sound, a crowd came
together in bewilderment, because each one
heard their own language being spoken. 7
Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these
who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it
that each of us hears them in our native
language?
10. Acts 2:41
41 Those who accepted his message
were baptized, and about three
thousand were added to their number
that day.
11. Acts 2:42-47
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching
and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to
prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many
wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All
the believers were together and had everything in
common. 45 They sold property and possessions to
give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they
continued to meet together in the temple courts. They
broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad
and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the
favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their
number daily those who were being saved.
12. Mark 8:34-36
34 Then he called the crowd to him along
with his disciples and said:“Whoever
wants to be my disciple must deny
themselves and take up their cross and
follow me. 35 For whoever wants to
save their life will lose it, but whoever
loses their life for me and for the gospel
will save it. 36 What good is it for
someone to gain the whole world, yet
forfeit their soul?
13. Question
Why do we have to do all the moving?
Why do we have to give up what we like
to go to them?
Why can’t they give up what they like to
come to us?
14. Philippians 2:1-8
1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from
being united with Christ, if any comfort from his
love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any
tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my
joy complete by being like-minded, having the
same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain
conceit. Rather, in humility value others above
yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests
but each of you to the interests of the others.
15. Philippians 2:1-8
5 In your relationships with one another, have the
same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to
be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself by becoming obedient to
death— even death on a cross!
16.
17. John 20:21-23
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you!
As the Father has sent me, I am
sending you.” 22 And with that he
breathed on them and said, “Receive
the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive
anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if
you do not forgive them, they are not
forgiven.”
20. Acts 6:1-7
In those days when the number of disciples was
increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them
complained against the Hebraic Jews because
their widows were being overlooked in the daily
distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve gathered all
the disciples together and said, “It would not be
right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of
God in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and
sisters, choose seven men from among you who
are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom.
21. Acts 6:1-7
We will turn this responsibility over to them 4 and
will give our attention to prayer and the ministry
of the word.” 5 This proposal pleased the whole
group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith
and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus,
Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from
Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented
these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid
their hands on them. 7 So the word of God
spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem
increased rapidly, and a large number of priests
became obedient to the faith.
22.
23. Acts 6:9
9 Opposition arose, however, from
members of the Synagogue of the
Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of
Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the
provinces of Cilicia and Asia— who
began to argue with Stephen.
24. Acts 8:1
On that day a great persecution broke out
against the church in Jerusalem, and all
except the apostles were scattered
throughout Judea and Samaria.
25. Acts 8:1
On that day a great persecution broke out
against the church in Jerusalem, and all
except the apostles were scattered
throughout Judea and Samaria.
Acts 1:8
8 But you will receive power when the Holy
Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
