Unstoppable Church

In the book of Acts, the gospel spread like wildfire throughout Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and the Roman Empire. There were no Internet, TV or radio stations, no Facebook, or Instagram. There were just ordinary people, earnest prayer, and the boldness to share the good news of Jesus Christ. The unstoppable church of the first century found the gospel robust as they told it to others every day. There was no power on earth that would stop them from sharing the good news that Jesus died for their sins, was buried, and God raised Him from the dead. These first-century Christians were put in prison, beaten, exiled, and martyred because they refused to stop telling others about Jesus.

The same fire has spread the gospel from Peter’s first sermon in Acts 2 until today. It is ordinary people filled with the extraordinary power of God’s Spirit who obey Jesus’ command to GO and make disciples. Thousands of believers, just like their first-century counterparts, are put in prison, beaten, exiled, and martyred because they are not ashamed of the gospel because they know it is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16). God has called His church to be an unstoppable force. We have been given the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the mission. Jesus has entrusted us with a very brief period in which to do what He is asking us to do. If God has rescued and redeemed us out of our brokenness, He expects us to share His message of love, hope, and redemption with a broken world. It is our time, let make every minute of our existence count for all of eternity. Let us be the unstoppable church. May God bless you and keep you always.
