Drawing from the early chapters of Acts, the message challenges us to identify the posture needed to ensure we don't miss what God is doing in our lives today. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Apostolic Heart:</strong> Rooted but flexible. It is willing to follow God into new territory, reinterpreting revelation in the light of fresh moves of the Holy Spirit. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Pharisaic Mind:</strong> Rooted and rigid. It uses tradition as a lens that can overrule God’s present movement, often missing the Divine because of a desire for certainty. </p><p><br></p><h3>Key Takeaways:</h3><p><br></p><p><strong>Don't Box God In:</strong> Just as the disciples were surprised by the \"weird\" and rare miracle of Pentecost, we must remain open to how God chooses to move, even when it’s unconventional. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Devotion Leads to Miracles:</strong> Following the example in <strong>Acts 2:42</strong>, wonders and signs follow a community devoted to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Choose Humility Over Being Right:</strong> It’s better to be a passionate, humble follower of Christ than a \"know-it-all\" who values their own position over obedience. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Are your roots alive enough to grow?</strong> Watch to discover how to move from a place of doubt to an \"autopilot of faith,\" becoming part of the move of God rather than just a spectator</p>","author_name":"Family First Church"}
