So the Church chooses to empower local leadership to accomplish the important serving ministry. In order for Jesus-centered learning to continue building the Church. And that's exactly what results from this strategic decision. The group of followers in Jerusalem increased and a great number of the Jewish priests believed and obeyed. If there's going to be an ACTSplosion in the Church with divine power, the Church must keep its focus on Jesus, making Him the heart and soul of everything It does.
Nothing can distract It from that priority.
So here's what I think this means in our setting. Every member will make it a personal priority to spend time every day with Jesus , encountering the Living Word in God's Word. Use a modern translation or paraphrase, like Eugene Peterson's The Message . Supplement that with Ellen White's The Desire of Ages . Journal your thoughts and feelings as you read and meditate.
