The inauthentic life promises short-cuts and quick fixes. It preys on our desire to achieve what others have without doing what they have done. Acts 5 teaches us that the church is designed to be a place of authentic people living with honesty and integrity in our relationships with God and with each other.

Generosity is always a characteristic of growing disciples and growing churches. When we are generous towards each other, it shows itself in loving care, which serves as a powerful witness to the world.

Acts 4:23-31 provides a model to embrace when we are experiencing a crisis. In our moment of need we make a commitment to be together and pray together with other believers.

The word “door” is used often in Scripture, usually representing unique opportunities the Lord desires to provide for His children. In this message you discover some scriptural principles to help you recognize the right doors and encourage you to go through them.
