He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ - with all boldness and without hindrance!  (Acts 28:31, series verse)

 

And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people.  And they were all with one accord in Solomon's Porch.  Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly.  And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.  Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.  (Acts 5:12-16)

 

WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Take the best action step you know to get unhindered from complacency.

 

God frees us from complacency by the:

1. Promise of relationships
   • Are you the kind of person that smells like Jesus?
2. Promise of the remarkable
3. Promise of redemption

 

When we are complacent...
   ...we don't shine as brightly.
   ...we don't share our faith as readily.
   ...we miss opportunities to talk about Jesus.
   ...we do not attract people to Jesus very well.
   ...we misrepresent Jesus.
   ...we are not very pleasing to God.
