Acts 28:1-10 NKJV Romans 1:1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God. Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. NTCC Core Value - Humility. We carry the same attitude as Christ and embody a life of service. Humility says! I serve instead of being served. Nothing is below me. I look for opportunities to serve without being asked. Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. Integrity says : I will be consistent. Empowered. : Enabled. : Given official authority. : Have the knowledge, confidence, means, ability to do what called to do. “If this world is going to be reached, I am convinced that it must be done by men and women of average talent.” - DL Moody Who you are is enough for the assignment God has for you. Luke 10:9 Heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ Matthew 10:1, 7-8 He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. The sovereign God Who partnered with Paul and the early church is the same sovereign God Who meets with us and partners with us today. His Holy Spirit empowers us to accomplish His plans and purposes. Zechariah 4:6 ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts. Acts is a blueprint for the church. The church should be known as THE place, THE people, where healing happens. Acts 19:11-12 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” You carry the anointing of the Anointed One. John 12:11 Because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus. Healing shows us the heart of the Father and reveals what His Kingdom is all about. Acts 28:14-15 And so we went toward Rome. And from there, when the brethren heard about us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Three Inns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage. Honor is humility in action. Honor ACKNOWLEDGES purpose and value in people. Honor GIVES value and respect to others. (Romans 12:10) Power of honor in YOUR life. Fulfillment. (Deuteronomy 5:16) Supernatural. (Luke 7:1-10) Unity. (Mark 9:33-35) Favor. (Proverbs) Reward. (Matthew 10:41) Acts 28:16 Now when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him. Acts 28: 30-31 Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him. The grace of God doesn’t deny or discriminate. NTCC Core Value - Integrity. I will honor God by living righteously. Acts 17:28 For in Him we live and move and have our being Acts is an unfinished story because the Acts of an empowered church are still happening. We all need boldness no matter what stage of life we are in. (Acts 28:15, 31) New Testament Christian Church CCLI : #1600893 Multitracks New Testament Christian Church (#386429)
