PASIG REGION FAMILYDEVOTIONAL SERIES

FAMILY ALBUM - baptisms

Jesus’ ministry in Acts

A Jesus ministry (just like in Luke)

– A Spirit-led ministry – A Goal-oriented ministry – A Seeking & Saving ministry – An Open Arms ministry – A Joy-filled ministry – An ‘Anyone Can!’ ministry

Two Goals of the early church

#1 PLEASING GOD

#2 SAVING SOULS

Last topic (Class 5): Goal-Oriented ministry

Kailangan talaga ang evangelism...

a. Not just for the saving of souls who need the gospel of Jesus Christ

b. But for the saving of souls who have the gospel of Jesus Christ!

Last topic (Class 5): Goal-Oriented

When we don’t evangelize

• 1. Christians wither, and are cut off for not bearing fruit - Jn 15:1-8

• 2. Churches are removed from their relationship with the Lord, and die - cf. Re 2:1-5; 3:1-2

Acts: An “Anyone Can” Ministry

Acts Devotional Series

Class #6

The‘natural outline’ from Acts 1:8

• Jerusalem – Acts 1-7

• Judea and Samaria – Acts 8-12

• ‘Ends of the earth’ – Acts 13-28

Ang Dios ang may pangarap, at sya ang tumutupad!

God has the biggest dreams

• He knew Acts 1:8 before it happened

• He made it happen in his method and his timing

• He used all kinds of people to make his dream a reality

In Acts, God used all kinds of people

• Peter, a fisherman• Gamaliel, a Pharisee• Paul, a persecutor• Joseph (Barnabas), a landowner• Crispus, synagogue ruler• Ethiopian eunuch, a foreign employee• Lydia, a businesswoman• Many, many unnamed disciples!

You don’t have to be a ‘Peter’ or ‘Paul’

• God’s timing is much better than our timing

• God’s methods are much better than our methods

• Let God use you in

his time, but let him

know you want to be used

What will it take?

• Encouragement from God (2x)

• Encouragement from each other (6x)

Kahit sino KAYA, basta’t may encouragement from God and from the family of God!

So Pasig family…

Let us be the ANYONE CAN MINISTRY that God calls us to be!
