Unstoppable:The Church on Mission

The book of Acts is the story of how the Holy Spirit used ordinary people to launch an extraordinary movement—the Church. From Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, the mission of God moved forward through bold preaching, sacrificial living, and Spirit-empowered obedience. That same mission is still alive today. In this 15-week series, we’ll walk through the book of Acts and discover how God wants to use us—right here, right now—as part of His unstoppable plan to bring hope to the world.

Day 2: Joy in the Middle of Pushback

Scripture
Acts 5:41; James 1:2

Read
The apostles left the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer for the Name. Joy did not wait for comfort. It flowed from being identified with Jesus.

Reflect
What recent frustration could become an occasion for worship instead of grumbling?

Pray
Lord Jesus, make me glad to bear Your name. Turn complaint into praise.

Live It
Choose one pressure point today. When it hits, whisper a brief praise from Psalm 16: “I have set the Lord always before me.”
