Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: 1 Corinthians 1.26-31; Matthew 4.18-22


God chooses and uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
The major qualification for accomplishing great things for the Lord is spending time with Him (Acts 4:13).
And the requirement for this work is our availability. Leaving behind those things that will hinder our effectiveness in the Lord’s service.


If Christ can accomplish His purpose through the lives of the apostles and other people, could we imagine what He has in store for us?
How could God use you (personally)? God has placed you in your school (especially young people), your job, family and neighborhood to do something special for the Lord. He is calling you at this very moment, all you have to do is say, yes Lord! Will you make yourself available to Him today?
Jesus has a plan, a work to do, a purpose to achieve in history and beyond. He invites us to join Him. Are we available?
What are the obstacles that are holding us back?

Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Psalm 98:1-9, Acts 4:5-14, Luke 8:22-25.

Jesus was raised on the "first day of the week" (Sunday).  It turned out to be the first day of a whole new world. A new creation with new possibilities and new power. From Acts 3-4, we see the power of the Risen Christ in two ways:


The Transformation of Peter
The Healing of the Lame Beggar


What kind of transformation does the power of the Resurrection make possible? How is this different from other kinds of personal transformation or improvements that a person might seek after?
Describe the difference between viewing a situation in light of the old creation vs. the new creation? Why is it difficult to see things according to the new creation?
God's power takes many forms.  Can you think of a time when God's power was at work in a situation but it looked different than you imagined?
Read 2 Cor 12:7-10. How is Paul's experience of Jesus' power similar and different to the power the lame beggar experienced?

Who Is John?
A message proclaimed.
A joy complete.
A light walked in.

Don’t just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Ephesians 2.14-18; John 20.19-23; Mark 16.8; Luke 24.11; Isaiah 41:10, 53.5


The Gospels do not explain the resurrection; the resurrection explains the Gospel.
Look at what Jesus did.
Look at what Jesus says.
Look at what Jesus gives.


When has the risen Jesus Christ come to you when you least expected?
How has the Lord been with you when you experience fear or challenges?
Into what current situation is Jesus speaking peace?
How often do you ask God for a fresh filling of the resource that He gives, the Holy Spirit?
Where are you stepping out to go where the Lord is sending you?
