"Be Available"

In this powerful exploration of the Great Commission, we're reminded of our core purpose as believers - to share the transformative message of Christ with the world. Drawing from Acts 1:8 and the early chapters of Acts, we see how the early church was empowered by the Holy Spirit to be witnesses, starting in Jerusalem and expanding to the ends of the earth. This pattern challenges us to consider our own 'Jerusalem' - our immediate sphere of influence - and how we can courageously share our faith there before expanding outward. The message emphasizes the importance of being 'all in' with our love for God and others, and then going 'all out' to fulfill the Great Commission. We're encouraged to memorize Acts 1:8 and commit to sharing our testimony or inviting someone to church this year. This call to action reminds us that our faith isn't meant to be passive, but active and outward-focused, always seeking to make disciples and expand God's kingdom.
