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 Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.  Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen.  And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.  (Acts 6:8-10)

Let's see 3 easy God unhinders us from unnecessary limitations:

1. Obedience
   • Do what God says in God's way, in God's power and in God's Spirit
   • He is not hiding behind a church job as an excuse not to obey God in carrying out the Great Commission and Great Commandment in his daily life.
   • WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Try to make it a point to talk about something on Monday that you studied in church on Sunday.
   • Acts 8:4-6
   • Acts 8:9-13
   • Acts 6:15
2. Opportunities
   • I would encourage you to pray each day for God to give you some opportunities to share His love, joy and message with someone.  Then, take the opportunities before you.
   • Don't complain about small opportunities and balk at big ones.
   • Acts 6:12-14
   • Acts 8:26
   • Take the opportunities that God gives you.  It may be:
     • the cutest person or the ugliest person at school
     • the most popular or least popular
     • the person you really like or dislike
     • your coach or teacher
     • your parents or sibling(s)
     • new parents or someone in the nursing home
3. Openness
   • Be faithful to what God has called you to do regardless.
   • Acts 21:8-9
   • Acts 7:58-60
