Actors and Reactors
We like to imagine that we’re the heroes of our own stories. But we’re all-too-often reminded we’re not in control of even the most basic areas of our lives. This is good – a chance for us to remember that we’re living in God’s story, that the Holy Spirit is the main character, and we’re all invited to respond to what the Spirit is doing in our world. The Spirit acts, and we get to react.
From Series: "Go There!"
What lines are you afraid to cross? In the years immediately following Jesus’ resurrection, his followers had to reimagine what their religion looked like. The Holy Spirit compelled them to take the good news of resurrection and new life far beyond every border they’d ever known. The book of Acts helps us imagine the dangerous and exciting mission God is calling us to today. Don’t Go There!

We’re taught by our culture that we should be self-sufficient. But God never designed us to do life alone. We don’t find success in chasing one more God-moment. Rather, we should look for those who are Before, Beside and Behind us. We’ll call these intentional, life-giving relationships “mentoring relationships“. What do these relationships look like? How can we foster them in our daily lives?
