I wonder if you can think of a moment in your life where things changed dramatically.  A moment that changed things forever.Perhaps it was when you met someone – perhaps someone who would become your life-partner?  Perhaps it was facing and recovering from an illness?  Perhaps it was a sudden redundancy, which opened new doors? Perhaps a  spiritual encounter. We are going to spend this week dipping into the early part of the book of Acts. 

Our reflection today is about the Holy Spirit and our witness to Jesus Christ. Perhaps the most important of our reflections this week. Though I hope you will join me tomorrow and on Friday, when we will consider the fruit and gifts of the Spirit.Following the healing of a lame man at the Temple gate called ‘Beautiful', Peter and John came into direct conflict with the Jewish leaders. The two apostles were put in prison overnight and the next day brought before the Jewish Council and questioned about the message they preached concerning Jesus and the resurrection from the dead.

Our theme this week is the Holy Spirit. This last weekend we celebrated the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the church. The Holy Spirit was gifted to the church at Pentecost, which occurred 50 days after Easter. The name comes appropriately from the Greek word meaning ‘Fiftieth'.Pentecost is also one of three Jewish pilgrim festivals, and is also known as the Feast of Weeks, as it occurred seven weeks after the Jewish festival of Passover. 

Today we shall conclude our reflections on the resurrection. The final piece of evidence for the resurrection is the existence of the church. The church is essentially made up of people who have met with the risen Christ. There is no other explanation for the existence of the church except that Jesus did rise from the dead, resulting in a message of hope for all our futures.

Are we willing to be someone's answer to prayer?Here we meet a high ranking soldier in the roman army, Cornelius. He would not be the choice of the jewish Christians to be the first Gentile convert and this will be a hard lesson for the church to learn.Cornelius was not just devout himself, but encouraged his whole household to be so too. His devotion to prayer led to the practical out giving to the poor and needy. But he was lacking something.

How can we know God's leading in our lives? What ways does God use to show us how he wants us to serve him?Firstly, God speaks to us through the Bible. That is not to say God only speaks to us through Scripture. However, everything we believe we have heard from God must be tested by Scripture. Scripture is our benchmark. God also speaks to us through his Spirit and through our circumstances.Sensing God's direction in our lives can be something sudden; but quite often it is gradual, like the dawning of a new day, or the rising of the full moon above the evening horizon.

The ChallengeWelcome to Friday mornings devotions. Thanks again for joining with us. This week we are thinking about what it means to be a people who are sent out into the world to live out and talk out our faith. The church is both a gathered community and a sent community. And we are basing that on the model of mission that Jesus laid out in Acts 1:1-8.

Being SentWelcome to a new week of devotions. Thanks again for joining with us. This week we are thinking about what it means to be a people who are sent out into the world to live out and talk out our faith. The church is both a gathered community and a sent community. We gather to encourage each other, for worship, for the sharing of bread and wine, to hear God's word and to respond to His presence through bring out prayers and intercessions to Him. Just as the disciples of Jesus gathered in Jerusalem prior to Pentecost to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit just as Jesus had promised. The outcome of Pentecost was that the disciples were thrust out onto the streets of Jerusalem – no building could contain what they had experienced. Filled with the Holy Spirit they exploded out onto the streets just as Jesus had asked them too to tell people about the Goodnews they had discovered in Jesus. I think it's probably fair to say that many Christians prefer to gather rather than scatter.
